I really enjoy these kinds of FaB theory videos which can really help people elevate their level of play! I like how the examples are really in-depth, too
Very good analysis. This also helps understand a bit why Sigil of Solace feels excruciating when playing against it if it makes the enemy get out of the danger zone suddenly. On defensive heroes it is huge
@@Sloopdoop I cry when as Lexi I'm racing Dromai and I start hitting face to win and suddenly sigil saves her while now she can pressure longer with the dragons that I ignored because we were on the danger zone haha
Yeah the video took me longer than I thought, especially because I was away two weekends in a row. But longer, more effortful videos are going to what I do moving forward!
This is something I have recently begun to realise playing Dromaj in Blitz. Weighing up my board state with my life and hand is how I’ve taken my win rate from about 10% to nearly 50%. Great video
This really helps I started playing FaB a month ago and struggle with knowing when it´s better to block with a full hand because most of the time I feel like I have to do at least something even if it´s just bad before Flesh and Blood I only played Magic so it´s really diffrent but I love how dynamic it is
I love the Bori vs Darvo match up! I have been pretty guilty of just throwing my hands up and taking 10 to clap back for just raw damage and not really gaining any massive tempo. The breakdowns of the zones here are really well thought out. The scrapiness of the kill zone and the absolute mess that is throwing each others hand at every attack is some of the most fun you can have in FaB. Just remember, if you're at your local armory, you've both been on 1 life for a few turns and you now have cards that cant block - make sure when they attack you for the kill you put that card down, while looking them in the eye and say unmovable. That split second of terror in their eye will make your defeat much more palatable.* Great video sloop.... though I can't help but feel a little deja vu when I type this..... dunno why 🤣
Bori is my favourite WTR hero by far so she just had to win in this fight Thank you for all the support, Chad, and sorry for making you retype your comment 😅 hopefully the added intro was worth it!
@@Sloopdoop as a 20+ year long mtg player, thank you.. i finally understand why i am so bad in this game XD your video has shifted how i see the game :P really well made video. and the game that seemed like a big hill has just become a mountain XD
Great video. I’m kinda new but former pro in mtg and I much prefer this game! Im really looking forward to competing at the highest level and this rly helps thx🎉🎉!
Glad you found it helpful! And I hope you're enjoying FaB! Its a super complex, deep game that I am sure will give you tons to chew on as a competitive player
also, excellent topic od discussion here. This is something that when I figured this out, massively improved my game play. I always explain to noobs the importance of these "zones". Spot on friend.
Babe wake up, Sloopdoop just uploaded
It only took way too goddamn long
@@Sloopdoop just keep putting up bangers like this, and no one will care how long between videos.
Riptide players when their opponent is at one life: “you are already dead”
Well, Riptide in Blitz anyways 😅

I spent a long time just scripting this video because I wanted to make sure I had everything right and wasn't going to put newer players astray!

Lifegain in the right deck can be brutal to deal with. Especially in Blitz, where 3 life matters even more

Glad to see you posting again. I love the longer form content, this was really helpful.

Its definitely a very misunderstood resource in FaB. Glad you've been getting more wins and thanks for the kind words!
Dude this video is so good. So useful for a mid-low level player like me, and I’m sure for higher level players too
That was the goal! Glad it helped!
Your edit skills are getting better and better! Awesome work!
Little by little I've made massive strides 💪

Glad the video could help! I also have one on blocking with equipment effectively, which may help you as well
@@Sloopdoop Thank you I watched that video right after this one
I see a thumbnail I recognize 👀
Haha! Great video, Sloop! You really explained the game in a way everyone can understand at a fundamental level!
My goal was to be education and entertaining so hopefully I hit the mark!

Great video, had to share it to the new player resources channel in my local discord!
Happy you found it so helpful!
in 14:26 the precise term was "SHIP IT!"
Damn I missed the opportunity
@@Sloopdoop great video!
Absolutely love the pixel art battle scene! Also, preemptive congratulations on 5000 subs!
Thank you! I spent an entire weekend on just the thumbnail/healthbar assets
great video! this is very helpful and you used great examples to show Dori Vs Bravo and how it applies
Glad you enjoyed it!
Another banger of an episode with some great advice and insight
Thank you!
Insanely well made video
Thank you for the compliment!
A masterpiece! Well done! ❤
Thank you very much my friend!
@@Sloopdoop hope to see you at worlds!
real good and in depth vid Wes, good for newer players to watch and learn from
My main idea was new players but I wanted it to also be super enjoyable for anyone watching
I mean I enjoyed it and I'm an enfranchised Bravo player of 2 years ha
Love the kano comment. As someone who's main hero is kano, I can't agree enough. I'm still threatening lethal from 20 life in this new blitz.
Kano is my mortal enemy
Great video! Absolutely love the pokemon references!
Thank you so much!
This video is a masterclass. Great job.
Thank you very much 👍
THIS is the video we've been waiting for! What a labor of love, thanks Sloop!
I spent so long on it and I was so nervous I'd lost the plot and it was a bad video. Thankfully people seem to be loving it!
@@Sloopdoop as a 20+ year long mtg player, thank you.. i finally understand why i am so bad in this game XD
your video has shifted how i see the game :P really well made video.
and the game that seemed like a big hill has just become a mountain XD
Can someone please explain 'Twinning Blade' to me? Doesn't Dorinthea's hero ability already allow her to attack an additional time with dawnblade?
It does when the Dawnblade hits, but Twinning can be used when it's fully blocked. It can also grant you a 3rd attack sometimes
Fantastic video, my dude! Really learned some thangs. Great editing as well!
Glad it was helpful!
amazing content and production value - subscribed!
Glad to have you here!
Please, someone, get Briar to LL. Rosetta Thorn needs to pack it's bags and head to the retirement home. Great video
Please don't. I need the weapon to carry my Viserai games
Great video buddy
Much thanks, friend 🙏
Awesome video. By far the best work thus far
Thank you, and I agree. This is the direction I want to take my content
Thank you for this video!
Hope it helped!
Nice video! Well done!
Glad you enjoyed it!
Top-tier content creator
Eh, maybe top of B Tier
Man that's good thumbnail 👍
Thank you! I spent an entire day working on it
Yep, I've made all these mistakes, still do today😅
Take 15 damage, respond back for 5😅
I was at RTN and took 11 thinking I had a card in grave to use with Vis. I did not have it in grave and only sent back 4 🙃
Great video!
Thank you!
Fantastic video!

I was literally thinking last night, damn when is sloop gonna upload again?
Yeah this video got a bit out of control the more I worked on it. It started as a somewhat different video, too
Best video you've ever made!
I would have to agree! Very proud of this one
LOVE THIS!!!
Thank you! This is a new direction for my content
blocking is op
You're OP 💪
Masterpiece
Thank you my friend 💪
I think you have upgraded from gigachad to Terachad...... what happened recently?? The thumbnail and editing on this video is way way up my friend!!!
also, excellent topic od discussion here. This is something that when I figured this out, massively improved my game play. I always explain to noobs the importance of these "zones". Spot on friend.
What happened is instead of forcing a video a week I took the time I needed on this one 💪
Looks at dusk til dawn...um...prism and shadow runeblade...hmmm
Prism best hero
In James White we trust 🙏
Blessed 🙏

Its every game
FIRST
Damn you beat me to it
@@Sloopdoop thanks for the lesson!
You're very welcome 👍
I’m so sorry. But I never realized how much you look like Ron DeSantis.
I'm Canadian so at least I feel neutral about this
