kotarou, the barefoot wizard

Well you did spend the entire duration of the pride parade playing sts2....

Imagine being called sick for wanting to play games with my friends.

my wild baseless speculation is we get two marvel Zyggys

Seeing it coming didn't make it any easier to watch

NON BINARY ILLUSIONIST

@fabtcg.com I feel so seen T.T

#fabtcg

close enough, welcome back waning moon

It is a spectacular response

incredible

Hes just a little discardable guy

I think iyslander being good would do a lot to help the format, unironically. Ice punishes redline and decks that care about pitch-perfect lines (DGA dori for example loses a lot into a single frosti boi: can't pay for felling+axe off 2 blues). A few tools to not autolose to slop and format = good.

I feel like #fabtcg SAGE would be a far better format if they printed an ice wizard weapon, maybe a once per turn instant that costs 2, but can only be activated if you've played a NAA this turn. Hell, it could even do 2 or 3 damage.

Not often I'm pro ice, but I think it'd address a lot of issues.

Real monkey's paw moment on hoping for wizard set.

I'd trade someones firstborn for a card on par with valahai riven.

And shield beater I think is probably great. Not for having any text, but for being mini sledge for shield decks.

I miss crucible of war, where we got to see cards like gaze the ages and lose our collective minds

Its interesting how new spellvoid, landmark destruction, and graveyard interactions imply #fabtcg PEN is trying to address polarizing matchups, except for wizard's weak matchups, which look worse and worse.

I think its the first time a fab spoiler season had made me actively want to buy less. :(

Content so good bluesky can't even show it to you!

The only thing graphic here is what helping @kikibird.bsky.social film did to my jandals.

Sure, it breaks, but lets be honest, if the game reaches that point, the wizard is pretty dead.

Contrast the absolute powerhouses of both the new mech and ninja cards.

Me, waiting for my opponent to... destroy their AB?

I gotta hope iys is about to get some equipment destruction cause this feels inexplicable

The removal of elo as a system has made #fabtcg R2N so much more fun to attend: no-one has to worry about arbitrary numbers, so all the irksome stress is gone.

Its a pity that #eurovision decided keeping a genocide state in was more important than morals, guess I'm not watching next year.

For shame.

"[Oscilio] players often had one incredibly powerful “Greaves + specialization” turn, but the rest of their games became awkward and inconsistent."

Kinda still sums up a lot about the hero, I feel.

Aside from all the moral reasons to not go to the USA right now, its really nice to not have to stress about Kano being on 980 LL points with a relevant meta position going into worlds.

WTB Marvel Rosetta thorn $5, I know what you got

"Hold on, let me run reaping blade in my earth deck"
"I think running duskblade into unrestricted hypothermia and warmonger's is a good idea"

- statements of the utterly deranged

As while RG chane and Bloodsheath Viserai are both monsters, Briar is probably copping flak unfairly here, as her meta position is as much based on having good runeblade & dio MUs as it is her intrinsic power level.

Also OTK vis still probably nuts

Hitting Husk and Dirge at the same time, instead of one and putting the other on notice lead to an overreaction (death of runeblade), and then another overreaction (unrestricting dirge) and I feel banning rosetta is the third in a chain.

Aside from the frustration of having my decks for PQ bonked, I think this is making it pretty clear that LSS probably should switching to hitting classes with one ban/unban at a time for a format like LL.

Could have let it as "Vynnset will never be viable in a format" ;D

Missed top cut for the first time this season as Kano, after GEM decided to face me into every prism in the room.

Also, DTD Herald of Judgement text is wrong it turns out, and this was a bad fact to learn when I had a winning state with a kano'd photon splicing targeting a followup angel attack.

Made top4, top4, top4, and top4 with Kano this #fabtcg PQ + store champs season.

When he reaches 992, I'd like everyone to know the reason kano didn't LL this season is because of wellington.
