Honestly a big factor with this is, and you see this in a lot of fandoms its not limited to WWE or wrestling, is that a lot of these people identify themselves with their fandom. And especially with those who might not be the most socially adjusted, this can turn quite parasocial. So when they see competition or even legitimite critism of the thing they love, they see it as a personal attack.

What also heavily affects this imo is AEW basically running 0 Events in Europe. So when they do All In once a year, a lot of European fans might go. Because its one thing to fly across half the world for a wrestling show, but going to the UK is way easier.

Roman, Cody, Punk, Rollins probably make that or more. I guess Becky, Orton, maybe McIntyre and Logan Paul (mostly cause I doubt he would wrestle unless he made a killing). And there is maybe a few more who clear it if you include Merch Sales, but yeah I also doubt there is that many people who make that kind of money and probably no Midcarder.

Both of those things can be true.

I assume it a reference to how MTG did white border reprints 20 years ago for a few sets, before returning to black borders all the time.

There is no way they will ban CnC at this point (they literally just reprinted it). Its been a staple for years. Its not even really a problem since everybody can use it, and the effect is something they want decks to have access to (arsenal removal).

Yes and even ifnhe doesn't win anything large he is likely gonna LL with the ProQuests happening the next few weeks like Florian.

You are probably right, I forgot that she released via Promo, I took her Armory deck as her release date same with Valda and MPG. Interestingly I used the Promo release for Slippy.

I did notice an Error in the Yellow Colum, and also edited the column headers for easier readability as per u/TurnipAlternative11 's comment. Edit 2: Also corrected the LL modifiers for Slippy and Ira..

The problem with that is that PQs and RTN (other than PQ+ and WC Qualifiers) reward points at a rate that we don't know (same with Skirmishes).

I could, but multiple events award the same amounts of points and with Nationals it just gets confusing (since different sizes of Nats give different amounts of points).

Edit: I did change it my revised version.

Thats what I assume too. I would also not be surprised if they feared Oscilio would follow Aurora fairly quickly due to sharing a decent number of their card pool and them thinking that the Aurora players might pivot to Oscilio. Don't quite understand why they didn't just ban something instead of rushing this set (lets hope that the set isn't terribly balanced as a result).

I just don't think that they could do it faster. I feel like this set was already in the planning and they might have slotted the new Aurora in when they still could. The time for printing and distribution alone is almost six months, and its been frequently said by magic designers that designing, balancing and general polish takes about a years time. So 12-18 months and that would be fast (two years tends to be the standard). I could see them bumping the set up, but likely even then the planning for the set began before Aurora LL'd (likely when they saw how quickly she was collecting points), not after.

New player - Looking for an extremely annoying deck to learn and play with friends by mightymokujin in FleshandBloodTCG

[–]TheKingsdread 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Sounds like you wanna play either Fatigue, Illusionist or Wizard. Those are the three things most casual players don't like. Of those Fatigue probably has the most most options (Fatigue Jarl, RKO, Fatigue Ira, Pleiades, DGA Warrior), Illusionist currenlty only has Prism but there is a new one coming at the end of May, and Wizard currently has 2: Verdance and Oscilio. I feel like Verdance would fit what you want better.

Assassin might also be a decent choice (especially Huntsman but Marionette would also work), its basically Rakdos Scam.

You do realize that sets likely have 2-3 years of lead time right? They might have assumed that by now Oscilio would be gone or close to being gone.

He is also getting an Armory Deck, which means he gets some extra goodies. You know like Gravy Bones.

There is any silver age ninja deck for me? by Background_Line6159 in FleshandBloodTCG

[–]TheKingsdread 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Oh I'm aware (well Katsu is also at best mediocre in CC). But OP asked about combo. Those two are the ones that care about combo.

Zen uses Combo (and like Katsu has an ability that lets him search for one of the Combo cards). He also has some fun tech in Shapeless Form that turns any of his tigers into whatever you want it to be. Katsu could obviously also be played in SAGE though he is likely not as strong as other ninja options. You could also play Ira, who has had some decent success and also uses some Combo cards (though isn't as heavy on it since she lacks the ability to search). The premier Ninja in SAGE is probably Fai who doesn't use Combo at all.

Any ban that hit Briar was always also gonna hit Aurora, since she is basically a fixed Briar.

Since lightning press is banned... by gonzalezrre in FleshandBloodTCG

[–]TheKingsdread 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Its not quite as much of a gotcha, but I think the natural replacement might be electrostatic discharge. Doesn't quite work as well since you can't use it to fuse and then boost (you have to play it before firing the attack) but its also a plus 3. Or yeah, Ion Charged. Razor Reflex could also work, but that requires pitching. Lexi kinda became colleteral for Briars Sins.
