These videos are fantastic. Hopefully we get the Rosetta and mistborn heroes soon :)
Literally recorded them at the weekend so expect them this week. :)
@@SteelfurSpeaksawesome! I’m excited
I think if they see a hero is broken they should remove them from LL. Tweak behind the scenes, then bring them back in at a reasonable power level with 0 LL points.
Yeah exactly. The idea that they can get busted and sprint across the finish line when a nerf is needed anyway is a bit frustrating.
Excited for the future of the game
You and me both!
Prism / Illusionist and Chane showed me they didn't know how to make a balanced game
Well they’ve definitely learned a lot in the last 5 years.
Nice , detailed, loud and clear. Luv it
Errata hero ability to make 3 tigers.
ehh
They could just temporarily ban Art of War until Zen LLs out the format.
Saying kano is a problem is a cop out. He is incredibly counterable especially by high level players. It is a feel bad deck at lower levels but is not consistent enough at a high level. Also if you think any of the new cards really push kano to a higher level you probably haven't played too much kano. There are some more blue 0 for 1s (maybe 1 or 2 of them are minor upgrades) and like one amp card but its a miss during the combo turn so you probably don't play it. Also if the wizards and runeblades are good they often have good kits with high ab to deal with kano. I know there are many people who want kano to leave because it sometimes a very uninteractive play experiences, but don't get your hopes up.
Nah I’ve played tonnes of Kano. Not really basing my idea of him being pushed on what we’ve seen but rather the fact that there are still loads of majestics and legendaries to come. Though what we have seen so far is decent. Sure some people can handle Kano. I just think that he presents an unfun experience that shuts down certain lines of game play and isn’t enjoyable. The devs clearly agree. There is a reason that you are seeing both wizards still use attacks rather than being entirely NAA focused.
How is kano inconsistent at high level?? If your opponent isn't zen level aggro then you can go pitchstack mode and kill many decks. If your opponent doesnt pack ab they die to many combos really fast. I agree if you play off the top only then it can be inconsistent but good kano players calculate what is the best play and can pilot the deck to get many wins. The 'inconsistency' is first 2 rounds of a bigger event where you can get an unlucky mu but that can happen to every deck
Kano is just one of those decks that "If they have it" then you ain't really doing much to fight back unfortunately, regardless on what you're on or brining.
As a Vynnset main, Zen is frustrating for the same reasons other heroes not including Nuu have against him, however, his ability using his chest piece just to turn us off for 2 turns via a zen state token is back breaking. When he was spoiled, my friend who was a Benji main pointed out how utterly absurdly broken he was depending on how easy it was to gain access to Chi, which was later spoiled to be extremely easy. I feel for the new players who picked him up as a hero, but for those who adopted him who were already involved in the game knew how absurdly broken he was and would be subject to a quick LL run or receive some bans and potentially loose value in cards. FAB is indeed a hard card game to balance, as adding cards to hand with tiger tokens/ endless shackles filling the yard just breaks the "limited 4 card hand resource" model of the game. It's unfortunate that these issues are only addressed part way into a new season, similar to modern in MTG with Nadu, completely overshadowed excitement for the event, I completely appreciate that some heros will always be stronger than others, that's just games in general, however, the potential to be taken out T0 in blitz on the draw before you even take a turn needs an emergency ban no matter what way you spin it. On a positive note, I'm super hyped for Florian, it hits every facet of design that I like.
I 100% agree that fab is hard to balance. You have to break the four card limit to enable decks to push but if you do it in a way that is too consistent or problematic then yhe decks stomp. It’s a real challenge. Both earth heroes are my jam.
Loved the video once gain, even though I have no clue what you are talking about :o Teach me sometime :)
fabtcg.com/en/ is the game. Happy to teach you whenever mate!
I don't see LSS rolling back bans in CC. Just look at Fai after the Belittle ban. If they are too heavy handed with Zen then we will have 3 unplayable ninjas in CC. My guess is that will not go over well in the new Japanese market.
@@playtimetcg well they have temporarily suspended things pending deeper review.
They have shown they are comfortable with doing an Erata on a hero where it is necessary. Zen is more stupid than Briar. Just erata his ability so that its create a tiger and reveal the card on top of your deck. If it is combo add it to hand.
@@BrotherRobb that would absolutely cripple the deck. So hopefully not
Errata wise his ability putting the tiger in banish could be a slight ban but one that prevents him from getting "free" Art of Wars. Though don't believe that's the right way to handle any situation. I personally dislike erratas outside of digital games since already printed versions don't reflect the new text.
@@lxmueller2I’m 100% with you on the dislike of errata’s. But I think they could make a sweeping change that just puts all tigers in banish and then change tooth and nail to check banish zone. Or something. It would be a big change text wise but it would be easy player wise because a tiger would never be in hand.
The Tiger in Hand, while strong, is not what is making him relevant. It's the facte Traverse says "When you defend with this, at the beginning of your next action phase, create a Couching Tiger in your hand search your deck for a card with Combo, banish it. You may play that card that turn". Zen becomes a nearly different hero when you can't tutor out Chi. Having to draw into your power turns or set up your nuke turn becomes way harder if the deck is not starting with an extra 2 to 3 cards accessable at any time.
I agree with the best solution is Errating his Ability. It's bonkers... Especially with his chestpiece and Traverse giving him insane value to go with a Tutor. That way other Ninjas are not nerfed and other Mystics are not nerfed in order to fix the problem. If he is Tiger themed then perhaps the solution is his Chi creates a Tiger then gives Tigers buffs for the turn. If you want to keep the tutor then force him to work for it and allow a skilled opponent the opportunity to interfere/stop the tutor. Much like Nuu where here ability is super powerful BUT the opponent can play around it to try in minimize it's potential power (and some decks just laugh at Nuu's ability)
Wow you comment section is popping off
Now it is. 😂
It's more like saying the anniversary is for people that have the time and can pay to travel, which is a very select few (same for the major tournaments). It's not exclusive It's just noninclusive.
Not really sure that distinction matters.
They could also make it a 1st prize at armories for a certain time
Exactly. Something to seed them a bit wider
Great video man! Keep it up!
I just find it odd that during a big push for new players there’s been several big fancy rewards for established players and whales. Instead of making big exciting things for everyone, they’re just putting more and more stuff in the hands of the top players
I get that but it is a 5th anniversary. That should reward people who have been here since they start. Tbf it should also be generous to rise that haven’t
Hi, I recently got into FAB and came across your video. I played a few games on talishar and really enjoyed it. Do you have any recommendation on resources that people can use when improving at the game, specifically playing guardian? thanks!
Welcome! Victor has changed a lot in the last few months so I would recommend checking out some more recent decks. There is also a new card called “visit the Goldmane estate” that is very good in him. Not sure about any guardian specific TH-cams though I’m afraid.
My guess is that the people who are complaining about Zen are more annoyed about the 40 to 50 damage turn that can happen rather than the 25 damage turns. It can feel bad to be "high rolled" but as you stated the defensive decks have become so powerful that aggro can't really exist without these turns. Even the recent Calling in Manila had a full defensive Dash prey on those Zen decks despite those output numbers. If you scale Zen back again he probably goes into obscurity like Fai.
Yeah exactly. That’s kinda the problem fab faces. If you can’t put out those values at some point you can’t win.
Did someone say... Muffin time :o?
great video
I found FaB yesterday and i dont really know what to play or how to start. But That boy is interesting! ty for the vid
Id recommend picking up one of the new armory decks. Or finding your local game night and seeing what format they play the most
Awesome! These videos are perfect for me, im currently looking through all these heroes and its quite daunting. This makes it much easier
Thanks there are some I haven’t covered especially from the latest MST set but I will sooner or later!
Ear surgery? Looks like you dodged a bullet
This is not my Donald Trump cosplay era
Really fantastic insights! Wager is very deceptively complex.
Totally agree with everything said about politics. I may not be from the UK but I feel the effects across the pond. I never thought I'd be living at home in my 30s and struggling to get by when I was in high school, and I did do everything "right". Good grades, post-secondary after a year of traveling. I was somebody like you where I kept a collection or playset of most Ls and Ms for this game but had to make some choices and sold off a lot of staple cards. I don't think I should be working 40+ hours a week and not have enough money for my ONE hobby that costs money. Speaking about the new MST heroes, I agree that I would get quite fatigued if every set was META BREAKING. Also, I find the play experience against the MST heroes can actually be quite negative and I feel like I have more non-games than ever in FAB.
@@Lootaful exactly. I pay a gym membership and that’s it. I get TCGs are an expensive hobby but it’s becoming kinda impractical for me. And I’m on a decent knowledge worker salary. Like part of my logic for selling classes is that I never play them but a big part is just not wanting to buy those cards. I’ve quite enjoyed the power in MST but I definitely agree when the game goes against you it can be tricky.
@@SteelfurSpeaks Yeah like after insurance, gas, food, rent. I pay for Netflix, Spotify, a gym, and then if FAB. I know some people may say to cancel Netflix and Spotify but in the grand scheme $20 a month isn't whats doing me in and am I not supposed to enjoy my life? Just be a good little worker bot for the Capatlist Overlords? It's sad that with two degrees I make more bartending than using them and a lot of companies I've worked at where I need a degree to be hired have very little to no upward movement career wise. Add to that most of these jobs were contract based and pay very little. And before somebody says I shouldn't have gotten a degree in underwater basket weaving or whatever I have a chemistry degree. Part of it may be being in a HCOL area, but while barely surviving living at home how am I supposed to leave to a new area to start over when jobs are quite scarce. And the new area won't have the family support system in place.
Didn’t think I’d ever be listening to Steelfur, agreeing with everything he says about 1% economics but here we are.
It’s 2024 and all discourse is political discourse
@@SteelfurSpeaks yeh I’m all for it mate. Everyone is politics. Everything is economics. I also strongly agree with your take.
I think it’s worth looking at more than just wins when assessing how dominant Zen is in the meta. He dominates the numbers in top 8s. Nuu is definitely the hard counter to him, but Zen is absolutely still the boogeyman in the current meta.
@@theipc3383 yeah I do agree. I think at one point I speculate that you should ban something anyway because he gate keeps a lot of decks and if you do that Nuu drops as well
@@SteelfurSpeaks Just ban his common boots to make the Art of War turns just a bit less consistent is what I’d be shouting for. If you increase the odds of him having turns that are a bit more awkward or at least less explosive then that opens things up a bit. Letting Enigma back in the environment in any meaningful way would put the brakes on Nuu too. Of course it’s possible that the meta will continue to adapt to him and a few more decks that can slow him down will emerge. I’m very much enjoying the current environment but I just hope it becomes less “deal with Zen” and whether that comes through LSS bans or player adjustments I don’t mind 😀
@@theipc3383 Yeah for sure the boots would be a very small change with big impact. Though we do also have Rosetta on the horizon and only Amsterdam between there and here. So maybe they don't mind if they think that set will address Zen
Like it. Cheers!
Yup, a lot is due to greedflation, not regular inflation
Heavy hitters is C for me and Bright Lights is A, shrug. HVY draft was boring as balls, Bright Lights was one of the better ones. But tbf I think Mistveil is the only good draft so far and I'm really happy about that. Has problems, still pretty good. Miles better than any of the previous ones. Hopefully it'll get even better.
I do really like MST. So hopefully this is building up and not a once off. 😂
Great analysis! I agree with your assessments and conclusions. And I am glad you went into such depth on the subject. It was definitely warranted, not to mention a great listen!
Glad you enjoyed it!
I´m not a mech player, but I don´t get the Bright Lights hate. It was an ok set
I think any one of those ideas would have been fun as the “strange hero” in a normal set eg enigma in MST but all three together made it feel too much to bite off for a lot of people.
Fab proved me wrong. I thought it was going to die out after the second year. No desire to play a CCG and the game is a bit too min-maxy for me, but good for them. They've found their niche and capitalized on it.
@@razzendahcuben just keeps getting better tbh as the designers mature. Give it a try.
@@SteelfurSpeaks I've played it.
FAB has aged like a fine wine. It gets better and better
Great video. I've been having some success with Betsy , well more than I usually do lol. I don't use any auras , as you mentioned, telegraph your game plan and sometimes wasted/causes loss of tempo. Very much a fun hero though, less conventional guardian and a proper brawler
Glad you’re having fun with her!
I think you can drop arcane rising to D tier personally, it established bad design habits that ruined ToA and Monarch while also allowing for Bright Lights to happen
Explain? Sorry I’m a new player
Is it worth starting FAB getting tired of mtgs rising prices and power creep ?
@@ngonimutezo6670 it’s 100% worth it. Grab some blitz decks and test it with a mate. If you like the core loop the high level game play has loads more depth and is very rewarding.
Also cause there is no rotation on a set schedule a lot of your cards end up being playable in some form for a long gime
@@SteelfurSpeaks thanks a lot for the advice . But I’m wondering if it is also worth collecting like Pokémon or digimon. Really cool cards
Hell yeah! There are lots of awesome things to collect.@@ngonimutezo6670
Like the video concept, thumbnail is a bit hard to get the gist from a glance.
@@dozrFAB damn. I’ll try harder next time!
@SteelfurSpeaks all good. I suggest large text in the the thumbnail which states the title like "save money: flesh and blood singles in MST" i'd probably use the chi image as well as the mst set logo to some degree
Good list - however I think you brushed past Dynasty rated it too highly. The set had zero meta impact with 95% of the cards being pretty much draft chaff - every class got a unique Marvel equipment/weapon and literally none of them are relevant. (lol Merciless Battleaxe) It's the set that suffered the worst in their effort to "power down" the game
Actually maybe you’re right. I gave it a bit more rating because I liked the tiger stuff ninja got. 😂
Good tier list. I think ARC limited is fun. Played kano mirror in sealed and had a good time, wild interactions.
Ngl a lot of my value placed on limited is looking at both the bottom and the top tables. Also I just can’t stand behind a format where the 100% correct strategy is to hate draft nullrune and induction chamber breaks the format. 😂
I love the 8 pack, 30 card deck setup It means you can actually build a deck with options, not just jam all your playables in a pile. Really think that’s a big win! Marvels in the last couple of sets have also really knocked it out the park!!
Yeah 100% the new sealed format is 100% a win
Nice breakdown
Thanks!
@@SteelfurSpeaks Oh Yeah
Fab 3.0 came about when LSS expanded their team and development capabilities. By expanding their team they were really able to expalnd their productivity.
Exactly and you can really feel it.
I agree, feels like a new direction Also want to point out the ammount of product coming out, which is great
Well I don’t want too much either. 😅
I do wonder if Rosetta will parallel Bright Lights. All Arcane instead of all Mech. I notice it's approximately every 3rd set, where they initially planned a supplemental set but learnt players don't like those. I also wonder if they got enough dev time on Rosetta after seeing the Bright Lights' reception, or are the sets too close to each other to really pivot?
I think they will be fine. :)
I think we heard about this all arcane set for more than a year now, I think we will be good.
Im too busy crying on twitter about Zen to listen but its probably a good video
Don’t touch my boy.
I would argue that everfast was incredibly impactful. I mean as far as runeblade goes most decks use four or more cards from that set. I don't really know a class that isn't using a card from that set from the Commons to majestics. Even stuff is humble as Thunder Quake or Macho Grande to rain. Razors to the blue auras for illusionist even ninja with 100 wins ever everfest was incredibly impactful. It was just massively overprinted
I agree but those cards could have been filtered in via expansion slots. Anyway specifics aside. To say the expansion slot does the work of supplemental sets with much less chaff is valdi
@@SteelfurSpeaks those are highlights. Shrill of skill form is a common used in every deck basically. Runeblood incantation is a rare.... Same with macho Grande. They wouldn't print full cycles of Commons and rares in the expansion slot.
Skeleta was crucible of War, not arcane Rising
Great vid for learning. I just started
Glad you found it useful. I do add more videos over time :) Welcome to the game!
