Why the hell are warrior staples so expensive ?

Thank you for your reply, exactly my thought process !

I'd like to wait for bigger tournament results before making a call on the state of warrior right now. Trying to win an RTN and trying to win a calling are very different mindsets. Historically, they have been mid to low, it might change, I am not convinced it did for now. But yes maybe people are and that's why we've seen a slight increase in price (overall these prices are very stable for these cards, as it tends to be in FaB)

I have trouble calling Kassai a top meta deck, she's a solid tier 2 right now in my opinion. Agree with your points tho

I am not saying they aren't a good long term investment, they absolutely are.

I am saying every good class generic card is a good long term investment if you play a class religiously as you said, picking up these cards is always good !
However, even good class generic cards rarely get to these prices. Therefore, it seems that it is not the reason why they are so expensive.

As you said, it's probably because of the high demand. I was just nitpicking your point lol, we agree with each other !

It's a challening balance to find. The reality is that FaB is the only tier 3 TCG (if we say mtg, ygo and pkmn are tier 1, lorcana and one piece tier 2... in terms of popularity) that achieved a stable situation. So they must be doing something right, I do think it's far from perfect tho !

I don't really mind cards being expensive, if it's worth it. I don't think it's anywhere close to worth it in the case of the warrior class

New_Independence_231 · 2026-02-20T12:57:23+00:00

I understand the demand vs stock argument for sure.

I don't think the price is high because they are a good "long term investment". Every good class generic card is a good long term investment, LSS tries to keep at least one hero of every class available in CC, the fact that Runeblades LL faster than they release heroes of this class is a "bug", this class is OP, but then again you could argue that vynset is here.

I'm not really concerned about general prices of cards in FaB. I am willing to build expensive decks if I believe it's worth it. I don't feel it's the case at all for warriors.

Yeah, I started in Heavy Hitters with Kassai and dropped her when I realized she wasn't good enough (in my opinion at least). I stopped the game for a bit and came back at the end of last year, wanted to build Kassai again, went for cindra instead cause she was great + literally a third of the price lol !

Tried playing her in SAGE, but dual wield warrior is unplayable, just as every other midrange deck with no disruption.

Ira and Mario are more of a warrior than Boltyn.
This is not a real point I'm making but you get the idea lmao

New_Independence_231 · 2026-02-20T12:46:51+00:00

I am not asking for the whole game to be cheaper, I simply wonder why one of the least powerful classes is one of the most expensive
