I have only just started looking into this game. Your video was the clearest explanation I found, and I've now purchased my first deck. Thanks for taking the time to produce quality, concise, and understandable content. Keep up the good work!
Purchased 4 theme decks and 2 booster boxes a year and a half ago and have been sitting on them ever since. I couldn’t figure out for the life of me how to play. The official game channel explanation made zero sense to me and every other video seems to be an explanation of the heroes specifically, versus how to play. This is the BEST explanation I’ve ever seen, and you’ll be the reason that I actually start playing this game, so thank you!
I've watched like 4 or 5 other How to Play videos and this is by FAR the clearest and easiest to understand. Which is SUPER helpful, since I apparently can't find any product with an actual rule book...
Would love more in-depth videos around how to play...delve into specifics of timing, edge cases, special keywords and how they function, deck building requirements and tips, etc. That said, this is the best how to play for this game, by far!
Hey, great video! Just wanted to point out one thing. Go Again does not give you an action point. The mechanic actually refreshes your action point back to 1. This means that having multiple instances of Go Again on a single action(eg. something like 2 driving blade on a single attack) does not grant you multiple action points.
This is copy-pasted directly from the bottom of the left column of page 10 in the rulebook: 'Go again means “When this action resolves, gain 1 action point.” Multiple instances of go again on the same card or activated ability don’t stack. If a card or activated ability has gained multiple instances of go again, when that action resolves, the player will gain 1 action point only.'
@@dramajoe What Waffer says makes sense and simplifies the ruling, so imo the rule book should have an errata to Waffer's interpretation, lol. As a newbie who's used to stacking extra turns on Magic (MtG), it makes a lot more sense if the action point is just refreshed.
@@ReMeDy_TV I disagree, I think his explanation obfuscates something that's honestly not that difficult to understand. What happens if you generate extra action points and then play a card with Go Again? His explanation makes it sound like you'd reset back to one and lose any extra points you previously created, which isn't the case. The only part of all of it that is kind of annoying is remembering that multiple instances of Go Again on the same card don't stack, but that isn't too bad. Magic has an analogue to this that makes it pretty easy to understand, actually. Think of your action point as your land drop for the turn. Does Explore reset your ability to play a land for the turn? No, it gives you an extra opportunity. "Resetting" the land drop would be very confusing if you had an Oracle of Mul Daya in play, for instance.
This is, indeed, super helpful! ...so it feels really churlish to pick out one individual thing, but... At 11:27, you say "Playing another attack uses up another action point and opens up another combat chain", which is only almost right - it opens another link in the same chain. Which is MOSTLY pointless pedantry, and is almost always meaningless, but sometimes it's important. Rising Knee Thrust, for example, triggers its combo based on "If Leg Tap was the last attack this combat chain" which doesn't work if it's a new combat chain! What does break the chain and start a new one - and do correct me if I'm wrong, everyone, because this is something I don't QUITE remember - is playing an action that ISN'T an attack. So if you played Leg Tap, and then decided to supercharge your Rising Knee Thrust by playing red Nimblism ("the next attack action card with cost 1 or less you play this turn gains +3 attack; go again"), you've broken the combat chain and started a new one with Rising Knee Thrust, so it doesn't get the combo bonus from Leg Tap.
This..is..excellent!! Not only is this well-made and easy to understand (even more than your how to play DM video) but it’s great for people who are looking for more FaB content! Also, on a personal note, even as someone who has read the whole manual through and through, this video really helps clarify a couple things on how to play the game, which I super appreciate. Hope to see more FaB content! Maybe deck-building tips? Or general combat guidelines for each hero, and how to play to their strengths?
Just wanted to stop by and say that this is a fantastic video, well done! I'll be pointing many viewers and friends here when I don't have time to teach them myself~
I’ve been trying to get this game and understand it and I think this is the best video I’ve seen on learning how to play it. Thank you for your clarity and well spoken words, good sir! 🙂🙏🏻
I'm really new here, this was a great breakdown. it seems like a lot of these videos are old, I think a refresh talking to new players about how to play and building decks with all the newer packs that are out would be a hit!
Nice job! Would love to see some games too. Maybe the first game could be an advanced how to play style video, explaining instants and layers (the stack) etc.
I found you through F&B, but briefly going through your channel, you seem like a really fun dude. I wish we lived nearby, we could play all these different cool games. I'm up for a KeyForge game any ol' time on The Crucible Online!
Hey, i would love to see more flesh and blood content! Maybe like how the different classes/hero's work and their gimmick. Also I was wondering about the starter deck giveaway in one of you past videos if that has happened yet because I really want to get into flesh and blood and that would be my chance to do so!
at 10:45, do you draw the card from ancestral empowerment the moment you play it or only after the link resolved? also, can you use the same armor piece twice at the same combat chain?
Once both players agree to let Ancestral resolve, you will draw the card and apply the buff! If the combat chain is unbroken, and an equipment is defending an attack in a chain link already, it cannot defend on a different chain link. Only if the chain is broken!
@@DMArmada wow thank you for the superrrr fast response!!!! Ok so if i get this right, i can play attack reaction which draws a card, and use the card that i just drew in the same combat link?
@@danielshalem1 yup, if it's a reaction or an instant then it can get played on the same link! Otherwise, after damage resolution on the current link, you can play that card out and create the next link in the combat chain!
Update Service comment: There are many new Heroes and Equipment cards nowadays 👍 Don't worry if you don't like the 4 heroes mentioned here 🙂 Also Classic Constructed decks may have 60-80 cards.
Great video! Really helped me teach my my gf the basics! If you could do a combat chain breakdown, especially explaining priority and who has it has it and when to pass it would be amazing! I'm having trouble explaing this element of the game correctly for new players.
I wish there was an expansion of just a TON of equipment. Like, I was kind of expecting more than 1 per pack (I didn't do any research to be fair lol). But I think a multitude of equipment would be awesome. Also maybe in addition to the Legendary weapons from Monarch, I would have loved to see rare or majestic weapon/armor.
I hope you've received an answer by now, but if you haven't: Blitz is, indeed, a separate format. It's designed to be faster and played with strangers, and - since there were no starter decks in the original printing - a way to pick up the game with little investment. So most of the time, if you're playing at game shops, you'll be playing Blitz. Classic Constructed tends to be more an "among friends at game night" thing.
I really like the look of this game, but it seems VERY complicated, and there doesn't seem to be much customisation as there are only four heroes? Shouldn't they have started with two hero's per class to show different ideas?
I found the game pretty intuitive once I played it, but with only one set and 4 heroes, the amount of customization is limited. I'm definitely interested in seeing how this new set changes the game next month!
It depends on the keyword on the equipment! If it says "Battleworn", then it'll stick around after the block. If it says "Blade Break", then you lose it!
@@Potatomerchant certainly could be in Prism matchups now! If you keep holding a 6atk card to pop a key phantasm but don't want your opponent to connect the dots, you could hand shuffle to try and prevent it.
The order that you do those in won't matter a majority of the time, but it is correct to first play the card and then pitch for it, which will affect certain corner cases.
When you played Rising Knee Thrust, I read its effect and am wondering in what scenario would Leg Tap have been played previously in the same combat chain? Can you use ordinary actions in the attack reaction step if you have another action point from go again?
So if I play an attack action card, I open a "combat chain"! Every attack I play after is another link on that chain. The combat chain won't break unless you choose to close it by simply saying so, or by playing a non-attack action card. So playing Leg Tap, resolving it, and then playing Rising Knee Thrust.
Question, after you (the attacking player) use either an Attack Action/Equipment and the defending player uses one or the other and move into the Reaction Step, is there a limit to how many each player can play? If I’m understanding correctly, it seems like (in one battle/chain link) players pass priority until both players are done playing cards, is that correct?
It looks fun but I'm worried it's overly complicated and that's going to turn most people away from it. Plus the issue with Hero eccentric card games is that your Hero IS going to be outclassed by another Hero that fills the exact same role or a similar archetype eventually. So, it's hard to get invested in a particular Hero. Plus the total lack of advertising already has this game dead in the water for the majority of card game players. This should have been out years ago so it actually had a chance in the current market climate.
Have you gotten a chance to try it yourself? I've found that any complications in explanation disappear when you actually get the chance to play a game! It's surprisingly intuitive!
@@DMArmadaI haven't been able to play the game yet but in my opinion no card game should be any more complicated than Magic the Gathering because as someone like myself who plays a lot of card games but has many friends who aren't as into them; It's already hard enough to convince people to try out something new and especially something more complex than MTG. (not saying MTG is too complex but to the average non-tabletop gaming normie it's like taking an advanced biology class) I certainly want to try the game out but it's going to be a hard sell to most casual card game players and that's gonna hurt the game in the end. That's just my initial impressions after watching these Learn To Play videos. I truly hope I am wrong and the game is a big success.
@@Balmungxcx in practice, I find this less complex than MTG simply because of the vast keyword and interaction knowledge that playing a game of MTG requires. Give it a shot and let me know how complex you find it. I'd be interested to know your opinion!
Balmungxcx Exactly the reason why I wanted a break from MtG - it got too complicated. This is a more straightforward game with much much less to need to know as a new player.
Weapon cards return to the weapon zone on the board at the end of the turn, unless otherwise stated on the card. Currently, there are no weapons that leave play after being used! Action attack cards DO enter the discard at the end of the turn, however.
I didn't dive too much into deck building for this one. My focus was on helping others understand how the game actually worked. A deck building video is a GREAT idea, though!
@@DMArmada oh okay, also if the attacking player uses a action card then that’s it right unless it had go again? And then the defending player does a defending card? Or is it called a defence reaction? And then it passes to my attack reaction and then their defence reaction?
@@RyansReflections7274 right, if you haven't played something to gain another action point, or if the action card you play does not have go again, then that's it for your turn. If you attack, the opposing player moves to the defend step where they defend with cards from hand, then you move to the reaction step where you play attack reactions and they play defense reactions.
someone tried to show me how to play this with the learning kit for an LGS i lost in under a minute and anything i tried to do was countered it was a horrible experience to learn a new game so either they taught me wrong or the game is shit
sounds like the same sort of person in an LGS who plays Magic, asks if you have a deck on you, when you say no, they let you borrow one of theirs... but it's total shit, and then they go and run some mythic level bullshit against you with the other
This is all great but damn the guy on the left triggers me so bad with flipping those cards in his hands, can't look at it. The video is good though, don't get me wrong :d
Nah, there's this old Japanese tile laying game that is crazy difficult to understand because you match sets based on the type of flower, animal, or leaf on the pictures!
Look easy enough, fun and great art.. let me check the prices of booster packs , singles and starter decks. It’s a newer game and I assume it’ll be easy and cheap to jump into ... *checks tcg player* $100 starter decks ?! $25 booster packs !? $100+ for some singles. Yea this is a hard pass. Otherwise the game looks good
Hi my friend. I really really really need to talk with you about a card that I have been pulled. I need to know more about that so Im sending a message to you by Instagram and will be waiting for your reply ASAP. Thanks
this guy on the left that shuffles it's hand all day long is really sabotaging this guide, also these type of players should really be avoided since they lack any type of pokerface, they are so annoying in tournaments aside from this, this guide is solid for understanding the basics I suppose, just wanted to get an overview of the game
You really compare a new game with some tcg older than 20 years old.... Hopefully there is more content in mtg Pokémon and yugiho now than FAB... Just remember alpha set from mtg, and we speak about content then
@@cyrilpit3505 Of course I am comparing them. Flesh and Blood is trying to compete in the same market as the other games. Even compared with Alpha era MTG or Base/Fossil/Jungle pokemon,Flesh and Blood's mechanics are shallow and boring. I didn't compare the amount of content. I'm saying at each game's core, the mechanics and gameplay are apples and oranges. Flesh and Blood at its core is behind the curve.
@@cyrilpit3505 I've tried FaB. Just as I said, its mechanics were lacking and shallow compared to MTG. MTG is far more interesting to me as a result of the complex and varied card interactions. Suffice to say the only thing I'm missing out on is a boring experience I have no interest in repeating. Nice try tho.
@@Tamarocker88 Your argument makes no sense. TCG's build in layers, like the earlier guy said MTG (which I love by the way) started as basic as FaB. Look at the new Monarch set and they have added new game mechanics to make it more complex, blood debt, soul charging etc. They have also added allies which you get through completing quests like in MTG. It's not there yet but I say give FaB a few years and it will be flying. I'm really enjoying it.

Is it alright if I pitch first and THEN play a card onto the chain? I play MtG a lot, so I'm kinda used to paying cost before playing.
The order that you do those in won't matter a majority of the time, but it is correct to first play the card and then pitch for it, which will affect certain corner cases.

The combat chain won't break unless you choose to close it by simply saying so, or by playing a non-attack action card. So playing Leg Tap, resolving it, and then playing Rising Knee Thrust.
What happens to excess resources after pitching them?
Each player can pick up up to 1 hero card? So you can play without hero card?
Question, after you (the attacking player) use either an Attack Action/Equipment and the defending player uses one or the other and move into the Reaction Step, is there a limit to how many each player can play?
If I’m understanding correctly, it seems like (in one battle/chain link) players pass priority until both players are done playing cards, is that correct?
The only limit to playing cards in the correct timing window is having enough action points or resources!
Wait, I thought you couldn't use defense reaction cards to defend and could only use them during the reaction phase.
It looks fun but I'm worried it's overly complicated and that's going to turn most people away from it. Plus the issue with Hero eccentric card games is that your Hero IS going to be outclassed by another Hero that fills the exact same role or a similar archetype eventually.

@@RyansReflections7274 right, if you haven't played something to gain another action point, or if the action card you play does not have go again, then that's it for your turn. If you attack, the opposing player moves to the defend step where they defend with cards from hand, then you move to the reaction step where you play attack reactions and they play defense reactions.
someone tried to show me how to play this with the learning kit for an LGS i lost in under a minute and anything i tried to do was countered it was a horrible experience to learn a new game so either they taught me wrong or the game is shit
Wow, that's HORRIBLE! That sounds like a case of a poor teacher...
sounds like the same sort of person in an LGS who plays Magic, asks if you have a deck on you, when you say no, they let you borrow one of theirs... but it's total shit, and then they go and run some mythic level bullshit against you with the other
Great video!
This helped so much thanks!
Can you have multiple cards in your arsenal ?
Well done video bro!
They should add shields to the game, give Ninja the ability to throw his cause it’s doubles as a throwing star as well
Thank you so much!
very good video thanks
Appreciate this!
So this game is like Shaman King, Thr Last Airbender. Etc. Forgot what it is called. Quick something game
Draft guide!
Constantly shuffling 4 cards in your hands waiting on a player to finish their turn KEKW
This is all great but damn the guy on the left triggers me so bad with flipping those cards in his hands, can't look at it. The video is good though, don't get me wrong :d
Lol, dude I know!!! I hate those kinds of players in Magic also!
Oh man… I played wrong. I thought Action point was the same as resources.
I thought MTG was the hardest game to understand?
Nah, there's this old Japanese tile laying game that is crazy difficult to understand because you match sets based on the type of flower, animal, or leaf on the pictures!
Look easy enough, fun and great art.. let me check the prices of booster packs , singles and starter decks. It’s a newer game and I assume it’ll be easy and cheap to jump into ... *checks tcg player*
$100 starter decks ?! $25 booster packs !? $100+ for some singles. Yea this is a hard pass. Otherwise the game looks good
Are you referring to 1st edition product or Unlimited? If you're looking for playable sets, buy Unlimited. $90 booster boxes and $10-15 starter decks!
Hi my friend. I really really really need to talk with you about a card that I have been pulled. I need to know more about that so Im sending a message to you by Instagram and will be waiting for your reply ASAP. Thanks
Feel free to talk with me here! Perhaps your question is shared by others!
@@DMArmada better on Instagram. I need to show u the card. I think that is a error print
this guy on the left that shuffles it's hand all day long is really sabotaging this guide, also these type of players should really be avoided since they lack any type of pokerface, they are so annoying in tournaments
aside from this, this guide is solid for understanding the basics I suppose, just wanted to get an overview of the game
Make this game digital please.
It’s called flesh and blood because they want it played live
This game sounds to complicated to play.
Good video, but the gameplay is quite lacking. Pretty shallow mechanics and gameplay interactions compared to MTG, YuGiOh, and Pokemon.
You really compare a new game with some tcg older than 20 years old.... Hopefully there is more content in mtg Pokémon and yugiho now than FAB... Just remember alpha set from mtg, and we speak about content then
@@cyrilpit3505 Of course I am comparing them. Flesh and Blood is trying to compete in the same market as the other games. Even compared with Alpha era MTG or Base/Fossil/Jungle pokemon,Flesh and Blood's mechanics are shallow and boring. I didn't compare the amount of content. I'm saying at each game's core, the mechanics and gameplay are apples and oranges. Flesh and Blood at its core is behind the curve.
@@Tamarocker88 hey dude. Still didn't try FAB? 😁 If not you are missing a really good train.
@@cyrilpit3505 I've tried FaB. Just as I said, its mechanics were lacking and shallow compared to MTG. MTG is far more interesting to me as a result of the complex and varied card interactions. Suffice to say the only thing I'm missing out on is a boring experience I have no interest in repeating. Nice try tho.
@@Tamarocker88 Your argument makes no sense. TCG's build in layers, like the earlier guy said MTG (which I love by the way) started as basic as FaB. Look at the new Monarch set and they have added new game mechanics to make it more complex, blood debt, soul charging etc. They have also added allies which you get through completing quests like in MTG. It's not there yet but I say give FaB a few years and it will be flying. I'm really enjoying it.
Wow i really don’t like this game lol
Great video though!
horribly complex
Thank you! But tell your buddy he has to calm down ^^ his in hand mixing is faster then a blender 😂
