Monthly FaB articles are back baby! Rosetta is in full swing with some big events lined up right around the corner. Armory kits are getting some highly playable goodies, and our prizing system is getting a much needed revamp. Check it out!
October Armories:
Armory events carry on with full steam ahead. As always, you can check out our full schedule here, for all of the store’s offerings. During this month’s armory kit, Florian is getting some love with some Earth cards that’ll make your little nature loving heart flutter:
- 1st place: 1x Cold foil “Arcane Seeds // Life”
- 2nd - 7th place: 1x Extended Art Rainbow Foil “Rootbound Carapace”. (Choice of pitch values. 2 of each)
- Each participation to an armory event earns you one entry into the random draw for a “Flroian, Rotwood Harbinger” playmat.
- Each participation to an armory event earns you one entry into the random draw for a Cold Foil “Thistle Bloom // Life”.
Draws for these happen at the last event of each month. The first name drawn wins the playmat, the second name drawn earns the card. The same person cannot win both during the same month.
Prize Revamp:
So far we’ve been following a pretty strict prizing system, which never allowed for the flexibility we wanted it to have. Depending on final standings, players received a specified number of boosters and that was that. This could lead to some ‘feel-bad’ momments, where people with an equal amount of wins didn’t receive the same amount of prizing. That system also always felt rather top-heavy, and for smaller communities such as ours, this sometimes can lead into ‘the rich get richer’ situations. For these reasons and more, we wanted to revamp our prize structure to more fairly and evenly reward players, while at the same time offering choice and a sense of cumulative accomplishment.
We are proud to present to you…
FaB Prize Tix!
Depending on the number of rounds played, the type of event and the number of wins you achieve, you will receive tix. These tix can be redeemed at any point for prizes from our ‘prize wall’. You can find updated available prizes here. For each of our events, a tix listing will also be listed, so you know what you can win based on your performance. If ‘ Regular Prizing’ is listed, this refers to the below prize structure (typically used in our weekly events, such as Armories):

You can see your current tix at the following link. This is updated after each Armory, or after Tix Redemption.
Please note that any tix you have must be spent 1 month before the release of a new booster set. Tix ONLY earned during a one month period before the release of a new booster set do carry over for the release of a new set.
You CAN redeem tix for a prize that costs more than the tix you are missing, paying the difference with €1 per 8 missing tix. (e.g: A booster box costs 960 tix. If you have 500 tix, you can buy a booster box using them, plus an additional €57.5).
Cyprus Comic Con 2024:
CCC is back this weekend! We have packed it full of Flesh & Blood goodness and surprises for you all, and we hope our new player activities will bring in more into the fold. You can find more info on the dedicated post here. We have updated the prizing for our Blade it Up Draft event, as well as the final ProQuest of the year.
We can’t wait to see you all there, and we certainly hope this will be a memorable event for us all. Let’s go team FaB!!! Let’s show the TCG crowds why this is the card game to be playing right now!
The New Meta:
Rosetta brought with it a lot of goodies, competitive new heroes, and a slew of bannings, dubbed ‘the book burning’, taking away most of the toys we have for true card advantage. Zen’s power level has been nuked from orbit, allowing fresh takes on the CC format… aaaand Enigma is the number 1 deck…. 😛
Blitz has had a number of heroes attaining Living Legend status, openign up the format once more, but with the focus being on Classic Constructed, and Living Legend now, this little format will be at the back of all our closets for a while. Speaking of LL, did you know it will be part of the World Championship this year? Did you also know that you can draw your entire deck in that format? It’s pretty broken. Cool, sure, but broken. But if everyone is doing broken things, surely it must be evening out somehow, right?
The Road Ahead:
Being a fan of FaB has never been better. There’s a lot on the horizon to look forward to on top of all we’ve listed above!
- Dah I/O Armory deck is coming this month, and is poised to make at least a couple forgotten Mechanologist heroes very happy.
- Flesh & Blood celebrates its 5th Anniversary in November, and the original heroe, Ira, is coming to Classic Constructed.
- Another, so far announced, Armory deck is coming late November.
- The World Championship is happening in Osaka, Japan between October 31st and November 3rd.
- Skirmish Season 10 is coming in early December.
- 11 Battle Hardened and 5 Calling events happening until the end of the year.
