That’s actually crazy
It’s true, we did. Best smile in FAB
I had a ton of fun chatting with @loganpetersen.bsky.social
A little too much fun because I had to be up quite early the next day, but that’s what happens when you like what you’re doing
Kick off your shoes, get in your beanbag chair, and hang out with us
Now to hibernate for another two months

Congrats man! It did my heart good to see you in Top 8
You cursed him!
LFG WESLEYYY!!!!!!!!!
Have a good show, homie!
We do what we can!
For me, the appeal of FAB has always been that if I lose a game, it’ll (most of the time) be my own fault
In my mind, the people that play the best SHOULD win the tournament and that’s the sign of a format with competitive agency
It also means that if a rando works hard they can win just the same
Praise be to random discards
Wobble baby, wobble baby, wobble baby, wobble
We do bring the killers to the yard in SoCal
My point wasn’t that they were playing it, but that they were consistently performing well at it. I think what I am responding to is the notion that SAGE inherently doesn’t give players the agency to do well at competitive events
I guess from my perspective I haven’t felt that the viable hero spread isn’t too far off from CC (while that seems contradictory to the PQ data). Though if it is too narrow I do trust LSS to wield the ban-hammer effectively
This has been my experience too. Exactly why I felt like a vibe check was necessary
Based on my one Calling, I could definitely see a world where Bof3 Top 8 is employed. SD was small but it was still over by 2p or 3p each day
I do completely agree that Blitz was screwy and not viable as a competitive format. Kudos to your friend rocking their Skirmishes, but I don’t think comparing R10 of a Calling and a hefty amount of Skirmish wins are the same thing though
This has been my experience as well. I definitely still feel like my decisions matter AND that the rule-set and card pool are more accessible for newer players
What about Jude and TaoTao performing well with off-kilter decks? Don’t we expect to see a couple top dogs and some unique ways to attack them? Isn’t that what a competitive format is all about?
To be fair I’m not trying to be inflammatory. I just wanna understand the argument
He says after cracking Enigma wide open for all to see!
Jk you are 100% entitled to your opinion. Maybe Kano might make it more enjoyable? 🤪
I hope that’s the case. I also hope I’m just seeing more negativity because of the algorithms and that it doesn’t actually reflect how the majority of people feel
Add in a green man and we’re really screwed I suppose
It's hard for me to reckon why people think that SAGE is not viable as a competitive format when our standings consistently look like this
The best players in the room are still winning. Doesn't that mean the format gives players agency to win and is, therefore, competitive?
