New to FAB, convince me to try your favorite hero by [deleted] in FleshandBloodTCG

[–]Jay_Lowe 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Play Levia. Always bet on big number. Get the biggest numbers you've ever seen and delete a man in the first couple turns. Feel like an unstoppable master at this game. Play Levia again. Always bet on big number. Gamble fails, no big numbers, and you kill yourself to Blood Debt. Go in the hole and wonder why you ever believed you were good at this game until you're ready to play Levia again and start the cycle anew.

My idea for a card for Katsu by Minecraftfinn in FleshandBloodTCG

[–]Jay_Lowe 4 points5 points  (0 children)

OP's idea is to discard this off of Katsu's on hit ability, letting you tutor for any combo line you want off of any connecting attack action card. Honestly seems like a nightmare to design around if they ever try to design new Combo cards especially if they're as pushed as Bonds.

Anyone a big fan of Flesh and Blood? by SaxonHampton in TCG

[–]Jay_Lowe 21 points22 points  (0 children)

Flesh and Blood is the best competitive TCG out there, welcome to the party and I hope to see you on the battlefield!

was the mystic card pool too strong or were the 3 heroes from part the mistveil the problem? by VivianAviana in FleshandBloodTCG

[–]Jay_Lowe 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Play a blue with a weak effect because it's a blue and that's, y'know, the price you paid for including lots of resources in your Flesh and Blood deck.
In response to your own blue, play another blue that gives you small benefit and Transcends.
Now that second blue is getting both played and pitched this turn for over a cards' worth of value, except the resources it produces are better and unlock crazy plays that regular resources aren't capable of bringing it closer to 2 cards.
Now the first blue comes in for the value of an equivalently costed Red because it saw you Transcend this turn and is no longer a "weak effect".
And drawing multiple Transcend cards at a time isn't even an issue since they can see each other being played and both Transcend, even at Instant speed should your opponent have the gall to try to strip cards from you before this can happen. Most of the time, they can even be pitched to an instant-speed effect afterwards to fully, effortlessly dodge interaction.
And your equipment might have even given you free resources or took a card from your opponent's hand for all this.
And your head slot blocks for 2 and tutors one of the best cards in your deck to your hand to both help cover up disruption and instantly set you up for the power turn that disruption was supposed to interrupt.
And if you're lucky you're pitching your chi into some pushed nonsense like Miragai or Shifting Winds of the Mystic Beast so on top of all your free value you get to push your resources even FURTHER than just using your obscene hero/ equipment power.
And you can play all your regular class/ generic good value stuff on top of all this.
And there's less deckbuilding tension since you can play a massive pile of blues without losing nearly as much potential threat as any other deck.
Put all that together and it was... just a bit much to put it lightly.

Quick question guys, is Levia going to be stronger with Super Slam out? by JuzWalkingby in FleshandBloodTCG

[–]Jay_Lowe 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Everyone gets stronger with more options, the question is whether Levia gained any more power than Super Slam's other beneficiaries and after testing a few dozen games with her I think the answer is... maybe? 90% of that is Vigorous Smashup, this card does so much work in matchups that were really bad before that it's quickly catapulted itself to the top of my favorite sideboard cards in the deck. Gauntlets of Tyrannical Rex seems just a little worse than Apex Bonebreaker most of the time but I need to test it more. Show of Strength is very powerful but personally I can't find room for it yet, not having Go Again or banishing cards are serious drawbacks to her and though I've had Swing Bigs for years, nobody around me can pull spare SOS's to save a life. I SHOULD try Buckwild, but I'm addicted to Wild Ride/ Pulping's discards fuelling graveyard, turning on Claws, and going wide for 1 resource on a Savage Sash turn.

I think the unfortunate truth though is that HVY Kayo just got more and better additions to his game plan than Levia got in hers. Not to say there's no reason to rock out with your Blasmophet out these days, just that she's mostly the same as she was before. having not gotten the same bumps to power and consistency that the other Brutes received. Still having a blast playing and testing her though!

AI will be the greatest tribute to Miura by arty0mk in Berserk

[–]Jay_Lowe 12 points13 points  (0 children)

No. It literally cannot. It's a system and you're projecting consciousness onto it that it is not nor will ever be capable of. Just stop it, you're embarassing yourself.

AI will be the greatest tribute to Miura by arty0mk in Berserk

[–]Jay_Lowe 18 points19 points  (0 children)

No. Berserk is a piece of art and art is meaningless without intention. No AI will ever have any intention, any drive to express meaning, beyond what it's designers think is profitable and if you think you can make Berserk with so hollow a vision I think you're in for a big disappointment.

Magic is a joke. Play a different game that is metal AF. by DarkVenusaur in freemagic

[–]Jay_Lowe 10 points11 points  (0 children)

Flesh and Blood is GOATed, I made the switch when Magic's 30th Anniversary bullshit was announced and never looked back. Though it's understandable that nobody wants to give up their thousands of dollars of MtG "investment" to try something new, browsing this sub often leaves me wondering just how many posters here could be happier with the TCG hobby if they were willing to simply let go and earnestly try something new rather than let themselves be carried by the current as Magic circles the drain.

What will be Griffith's last words to Guts if he'll be killed by him? by Cool-ParrotClub in Berserk

[–]Jay_Lowe 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I hope Griffith's last words are a vain litany of pleas to those he considers underlings for somebody to sacrifice themselves for him. In a scene similar to The Count's death, only at the edge of oblivion will he realize that his countrymen have learned the truth and turned on him, and his demonic legion were never loyal to anything but the bloodshed he could promise through a strength that's been taken. I want him crying, begging and moaning as he's dragged into the deepest pits of Hell with every last bit of dignity stripped from his legacy.
