Thanks for the guide! Will be listening in again on my drive to prerelease tomorrow to make sure I'm as mentally 'in the game' as possible. I'm trying to get back into FaB and I hope to come in with a solid showing for Rosetta!

Great video!

Great stuff guys.

2:48 forgot an outtake.

I have a question, do you ever just pile your entire deck into certain matchups? When would you just run a clean 60? It's it always a fatigue plan/value grind play style?

IT'S MY MONEY AND I NEED IT NOW!

Any comment on the exclusion of Red Aspect + Chase the Tail? Some lists remove the flusters for these 2. Great list btw. Congrats on the finish!

Buy 10 marvel crouching tigers or you can't play the deck. Got it.

Played vs Zen bonds today absolutely unstoppable, blocked out double Art, had to have been an 8 card chain, used both gauntlet and guardwell helm (had Victor so also blocked with test strength and drew), took like 5 damage, then got ground down turn after turn from bonds, super consistent with no chance of winning, hit back for a ton but it did not matter in the end. Very little back and forth, very feel bad.

I'm playing kayo should I play Stonewall gauntlet as my arm peace in this matchup

Grats on the big showing for your team! You guys crushed it

Preserve tradition seems very powerful in zen to get the red combos back in the deck

Thanks for doing this, I can't get this kind of info rubberducking ! I didn't watch at 2.5 but it was ay 1.25 over a couple days for me.

Instead of x2.5 speed, I just watched it over the week. lol Thanks guys!

Please work on your ummms and ahhhs. Awesome vid otherwise.

Dead game

Thanks for the video! A lot of #hype for limited formats!

This tier list proves to me tiers lists are truly truly uselss is card games. None of these people play the heros they say suck. When while tekklo is a menace when they know what to do and so is riptide. Uzuri is great without dromai. But they only play "meta champs" so they onlt know meta champs.

Victor almost seems meta defining in my opinion, he beats up on so so many decks and his only real bad matchups are on top of the pile, he pulls the ladder up behind him on other decks.

53:30 “unless riptide gets a new spec”… well here it is 😅 and it’s. Decent. We’ll see how it plays in action

Vynnset is in D tier, and I feel like that's a personal attack.

As someone that played maxx for the last bit now: i want to sit across of victor/betsy and (a not highrolling) bravo and every warrior. (not entirely sure about dawnblade dori, havent seen her yet), also prism is just really good for me. Like those are 70+% MUs imo. If they want to present a race, it means they dont block my good rate attacks and i flip into mech with them at like 28. At that point any double HO first cycle basically kills, depending how low they get, i can even jsut single HO, which definetely strips hand into setup big 5 card hand with Mech swing chain ender to leak the last couple over while ripping hand. I do not need to (and often dont even want to) second cycle them. The things i absolutely dont want to see are: Azalea, Rhinar(assuming argh smash), Levia(assuming 2 item destruction cards, but even without them can be rough) then Kayos with Item destruction. Not really sure about otk viserai and vynnset so far. Overall: C tier is fine though, with how good and presented Brutes and aza are currently though. And i do not agree that *hybrid* Dash pistolplan is better than maxx. Maxx is proactive while getting to setup, Dash is not, which gives the opponent much more options to actually just outvalue you/break through. Also rampart. fck rampart. stupid ass shield. But with the MU spread og Dash is the better Mech

I'm biased but I think a good Kassai beats a good Kayo 75% of the time. Personally, between Talishar, Armory, and the PT and PT events, I have roughly 30 Kayo games and I've lost two. Both were crazy high rolls, with one being a friend of mine just rolling scabs every turn like a psycho and never being punished for it. The skill ceiling of Kayo is just significantly lower. I'm interested to see if a clash build starts to gain traction but for now I'd say Kayo is unfavored into Kassai. The Dori vs. Kassai argument is interesting. Dori's math is better but Kassai's specializations are game turning. I think Dori was better with Dromai existing and we'll see more Kassai wins this weekend. Could be wrong though, we'll see.

I think Levia on A tier is a pretty big stretch. I feel like A tier is full of decks that are viable to realistically win a BH or Calling.. and also Levia. She has a high ceiling but her floor is too low and is holding her back from being a real meta game threat.

I went 11-4 on dashio overall this past weekend and went 7-2 into the block decks. Warrior and Victor don’t put enough pressure on you to impede setting crazy turns

I feel it in my bones that a Teklovossen will X-0 a PQ this season

Hmmmm, Azalea and Warriors (Especially Kassai) are NOT good match-ups for Kayo, He has a huge issue

Inertia and Frailty trap in Uzuri are money right now. Pretty much auto hits into warrior, brute, and even sometimes Victor. Also the gap between Arakni and Uzuri is not very wide right now. For Uzuri to be in A/B and Arakni in D is funny. Their opt power in this format is insanely powerful right now. To answer Jason's question, you play Arakni to manipulate your opps deck and have information Uzuri does not have. FAB players often never take into the account that opt ability it's very funny. I have won games on Arakni I would of lost with Uzuri due to bottoming power cards during key moments.

It's close, I'll give ya that. Clearly though, the best deck in any format is Riptide!

I am brand new to FAB and this video is the best I have found on youtube. Please keep this format. it was almost impossible to find anything online where people actually explained how to play the deck and gave real world examples live, that showed how to combo the cards, when and how to use them etc. My skill with this deck went up 10x as a new player after watching this. Thank you! I am almost done building the deck, but dont have the funds for 3 Command & Conquer - what would you suggest to sub for these? Also dont have the funds for the head piece - any cheaper budget options for the head?

Amazing video!!

Really great game to watch on Livestream! Also I was surprised I recognized you, playing against you at the calling Barcelona, you were really nice to me back than 😊

Didn't know who to root for in this match, you both are great. Despite whatever misplays you spotted, objectively feels like he drew a little hot, and you drew a little cold. Thanks for the breakdown!

I need someone to love me and try to be with me as much as Charles loves and minds fatigue lol

What makes this deck the best *tournament* deck but not the best deck? What's even the difference between the two?

How does the deck do against Uzuri? Seems like frailty tokens and Scale Peeler are still rough, even if you can play more value turns and block out their disruption more often.

Cody hit the problem in his game vs Matt Rogers that he had early turns where he had to play blue Hit and Run as his go again source, which cost him value. It seems like that is just something you are going to expect with this deck since you run so many blues, right? I think you are around 1/5 hands that will have 3+ blues. I assume the team determined that is is better to have 3-4 hands a game with a bunch of blues to reduce the number you have with zero blues.

How can the runaways always be this insightful while being this handsome? Thank you Charles for that excellent break down. I now understand the cards in the deck and why they're there. It's way less nebulous now! Great job Cody, with your thorough guide through normal turns, tips and tricks, etc. I now feel confident enough to go full serial killer and chop up some opponents! Another great video! Thanks guys!

Why no E strike?

actually mind blowing to c lucas here?? he was the reason i tried fab in the first place when he made a cube a couple years ago

Seeing Levia in the top of A tier does put a smile on my face.

At the end of G1 you could also go E-strike bottoming c&c, pitch swing to claw, discard agility, tunic swing claw. It is the same dmg but you get an agility and a might if they somehow survive.

Going to my first FAB sealed this week, love this breakdown thanks!

17:20 - Did You consider blocking rabble with flesh bag? He wouldn't have resources to fire an arrow so you would prevent 8 dmg (+bloodrot), have full hand brb turn, and make it impossible for your opponent to opt with crosswrap

At minute 43 would you consider ssp for blue wrecker to get an intimidate and possibly 2 attacks in (best case ending on snm thanks to tunic)?

Trounce puts the first round of clashes on the bottom before clashing the second time. I don't think there was a second test of strength in Victor's hand

You had a play where Fleshbag would have stranded an arrow in Arsenal and given you a 5 card blood rush.
