Always wanted to jump into Flesh and blood ever since you've uploaded those beta and first starter decks. Finally gonna start with these blitz starters! Keep it up with the videos! Used your code.
Great Video as always! Would you say its better to buy a full booster set and use the cards to build these decks? And on the offchance I pull somehting valuable I can use the funds to upgrade those decks?
@@RedZoneRogue thanks for the response! So would you recommend a booster box over the 4 deck bundle? And also with the 2.0 version does anything change which is the reason for lower prices?
@@THEGLADIUS101 it depends on what you wanna do. The decks will certainly teach you better with a friend. A box will be much more exploratory but you'll get better quality cards. I have a full vid on 2.0 but the short answer is no, there's just a lot of unlimited out there :)
Was thinking to buy boxes to start but im deciding to buy these decks to get into the game first. Was never thinking to try it but after looking more into the game it looks quite fun so looking forward to play with these when they come in :)
Good call! It's a TON of fun and my partner even liked playing it when I first started (that's saying a lot cuz she normally doesn't like competitive card games)
I love Boltyns story ( and all the characters stories ) it's super inspiring and sad, the mentor card is super cool and not what I was expecting and I love it.
Another great video! Gonna wait to buy these til I can get all 4 at once. Thanks for pointing out to the new folks that its not worth paying scalper prices on these!
Was a fan of your channel because of force of will but lately I’ve found myself checking out your flesh and blood videos. These have me interested do you think there’s any value to be had in getting two of each or just one?
Hey! So the only value in getting is getting 2 of the mentor cards. If you can find the deck for cheap ($12 msrp) then I say go for it! Also thank you for sticking around for so long! I actually have some Force of Will stuff coming in the next week or two!
That’s what I was thinking since they’re exclusive to the blitz decks. And yeah force of will has been cool I just like to dabble in different things I guess lol I figure flesh and blood is worth trying out.
It's great to know that these decks are going to be reprinted often, I definitely think I'll pick up a set when it's around again. I've also decided to pick up a booster box since my last comment, any suggestions between Unlimited WTR, ARC, or Monarch?
My hands are itching to have them right now! :D Prism seems to be the less friendly here for beginners, but nonetheless they look very well constructed, and the addition of the heroes in foil is simply a wonderful detail that will certainly make them more attractive (:
Can't wait to crush some games with these. I pre-ordered a brick to spit between my best friend, his younger brother and my brother-in-law. Can't wait to experience how the new heroes play.
Hm, personally I like Prism more. I talk about this in a Channel Fireball video I made recently but you can really build Prism multiple ways so there's a lot of diversity in her as a hero!
Chane literally looks like he's doing some massive gutteral low screamed vocals. I also love Metal! Keep up the good work. I do hope they do moreeeee shadow in the future.
When building a deck does the color matter towards how many copies of a card you have? For example can I have 2 yellow, and 2 red versions of a card in the same deck or only 2 all together?
2 blitz decks is a fantastic way to start. That playmat was given to me by LSS (it was also offered as a prize for the Monarch prerelease) and they can run quite a bit. Nearly all official FAB mats are expensive because they're given out at prizes or special promos - though there are a lot of cheaper community mats (I'm actually having a few designed myself right now!) If you wanted to get into FAB in a much bigger way, Channel Fireball has an amazing deal right now. 3 booster boxes (1x of each WTR, ARC and MON) and an official mat for $260. They also have 4x of each starter for $38 total right now. If you use the code ROGUE at checkout it goes to support me but absolutely no pressure. shop.channelfireball.com/products/flesh-and-blood-unlimited-bundle?_pos=1&_sid=6432e2043&_ss=r&variant=40313111511199
@@RedZoneRogue thank you for the in depth response! I am in the UK but that is an awesome deal! Do you think that 1 booster box would get a 2/3 decks out of it or would it be better to just grab the blitz decks?
Alas, I paid a rather terrible price for a set of 4, but what’s done is done. Only tried Levia and Prism so far, and of those 2 Levia I feel is easier to play at least to a new player like myself, her mechanic is really easy to understand after just a couple turns. Levia’s deck is able to handily defend against Prism’s phantasms just due to that focus on 6 power attacks, with the dreamweaver and those two spectra auras being the main things that aren’t just instantly destroyed. Gonna admit though I doubt I played Prism well though, and Levia did have to deck out all of Prism’s defenses to finally win.
@@RedZoneRogue Whoops, missed your reply! Having sat down to think about them a bit, I’m not yet entirely sure what to do about Levia’s deck. Prism, however, my first thought is more ways to generate Spectral Shields (more red or yellow Prismatic Shields I guess?) or other auras, just so she’s not as reliant on having to land hits with things that can go to her soul. Alternatively, more red Illuminates, Solartide Risings, or other such attacks that can go to her soul but aren’t phantasms, just to make it difficult to fully defend against. That’s a lot of red, though, which may make actually attacking with those auras chancier. I need to sit down and play with them some more as is, just because I’ve gotten a bit better understanding of things now, especially with how Prism as is might better face off against heavy hitters.
I'm hoping to get a full display of them. I want one of each, and I want to give some away to friends. I was planning to do that with the WTR hero decks...but those are super expensive. They also look too good on my shelf, so they gotta stay
@@RedZoneRogue yeah, I might stream a box opening of the limited edition of monarch and make a glass shield prism deck with a glass railgun shadow brute.
Got one of each for $56. Averaged out to $14.25 a piece. Very excited to actually try the game out. I wanted to jump in with the WTR Blitz decks, but those are.... pricey... also, you started with the deck I wanted to see the most! ☺️
That's a really good price! The WTR Hero decks are out of print and very spendy - though a lot of stores online do custom decks that are essentially the same for only $15
Just came here to double check on the contents of my Blitz decks and... ...some poor soul just got a Prism deck without the actual hero inside, as I just opened mine and was greeted with 2 foiled copies of her.
Sad to hear about scalper prices hurting the market overseas. Here in NZ I’m fortunate enough to be able to walk into any local hobby store and buy as many booster boxes or starter decks as I’d like. I know the game was made here, but still. Suppliers gotta help out your homies overseas. Game ain’t gonna grow if no one can get their hands on it.
@@RedZoneRogue yeah for real! I was like I'm gonna update this but its great to just have in here. Essentially they are just ironrot armor for spells but I hate running ironrot simply because of the art.
@@RedZoneRogue you know what I think it is to me? It's frustrating because when I started WTR alpha was in abundance and ARC had just released. Now there is no abundance lol
@@GiftofChaosStudio Oh man don't get me started haha I remember when WTR Alpha was $75 all day long on eBay. I was even gonna pick up the legendaries I was missing but thought "nah I can get that whenever".

Cheers dude! I personally bought a couple cases of Unlimited from them on top of the 1st edition I got coming. Really looking forward to diving into it all!
@@RedZoneRogue yea I went really hard on this set as well can never have too much lol...and the Light vs. Dark theme is so fire. But you know me....the Darkside has cookies 🍪😋
I certainly wish that these were available anywhere in store or online in Canada. I've been looking for a jumping off point in the game after discovering it recently.
Yeah internationally it's tricky. I know of a few Canadian stores that sell them but not online - Red Riot Games is an example of this. There's a very active Canadian FAB discord that you could join - perhaps those folks have a better idea than I do of where to go!
@@RedZoneRogue Ironically, only about thirty minutes after I posted my lament, I received a notification from one of my favorite digital stores announcing a restock. Thank you for your response and suggestions, and, indeed, for all that you've done to introduce me and other players to games like "Metazoo," "Force of Will," and "Flesh and Blood."
I see people hoarding these. I hope they’re readily available but we’re going to need lots of products pumped out still waiting on crucible unlimited. The mentor cards and foil heroes alone are going to drive the sales on these
@@RedZoneRogue I hope so. I bought them for 20$ each. Little pricey but oh well. Will probably want a 2nd set for collecting, and the other for playing.
Yeah that's what I kinda hinted at when I pulled the Prism deck on screen haha still kind of an odd choice imo but it gives the player something to upgrade at least!
Like I mentioned in the video, these are print to demand with massive restocks coming soon! You'll be able to find them pretty close to msrp eventually 😁
The fact that you can get foil young heroes has me sold I'll pick up a Prism deck for sure.
Learning to play with these decks, loving them so far (Chane and Prism especially)
Definitely will be buying more cards in future 🙂
Really glad you decided to try the game out! :D
I preordered 4 from canada to us so I cant wait to get a notification that they're shipped
great video! new to fab and just picked up each of these decks - very very excited :)
Yo cheers and welcome to the game!! I hope you're able to jam some games with them soon 🙂

Sweet video! If you were going to buy a couple of packs to go head to head which would you recommend? I'm kinda leaning towards Boltyn VS Chane 🤔
Hmmm Boltyn vs Chane would be good. I also think Levia vs Prism could be good too (since Levia is good against illusions)

@Small Things Collectible That seems like a good idea, I might do just that
@@Lunchbox_games ARC seems pretty cool, I like the Runeblade hero, but shadow brute also seems interesting
@@muncher8 very true.
@Small Things Collectible this is the way to go unless you want everything! Just buy whatever set has the heroes you like most.
I got mine through your turn on fireball offer the other day in both the Rainbow foil and the mentor cards are amazing
They both look so much better in person too

Prism seems to be the less friendly here for beginners, but nonetheless they look very well constructed, and the addition of the heroes in foil is simply a wonderful detail that will certainly make them more attractive (:
