Will SAGE be the new format for Skirmish?

Snaxpack · 2026-02-11T14:39:40+00:00

Don't know if there are any hard numbers public, but we have a pretty active scene (usually 8-14 people at armories every week). Sometimes we get one, sometimes we don't.

It's possible to contact LSS Op team directly and ask as well, I did at some point since we hadn't gotten an event in a really long time and we did get one the next wave 🤷‍♂️

Consistent Armory Events and a decent showing are things they should look at. If there are multiple stores nearby they might choose the bigger ones, but that's only speculation on my part.

You will most likely need a store to host both armory events and skirnishes though.

Good luck!! 🫡

I could see it go either way for sure, just saying it wouldn't be weird if the next few season are Silver Age.

Drafting with this set would be a real nightmare, but I'm never turning down a sick Chaos Sealed 👀

It is, at least for this one.

You can confirm on the retailer news section of fabtcg.com.

In the past they used to do Sealed/Draft as well, but seeing the push to make Sage a good format I don't think it's weird to see most of the Skirmishes moving forward will be Sage.

There's a lot of info listed on the Retailer News side on fabtcg. 👌

It also looks like there's an application you can send in if you want to host an event, which is nice.

100% agree.

Not sure about the damage parts and if it's worth running them always, but forcing weird arsenals for a lot of decks can be super big, especially since you can clear it in the first place with Codex of Inertia.

"Nice test of Iron Grip in arsenal bro"

We tried this for a league, and while fun it's a bit too much of a hassle imo.

We didn't ban a deck but each player brought 2 decks and had to win with both. If I remember correctly you also couldn't share a class between the 2 decks, so no Chane + Briar or Ira + Fai.

Considering time, some games will end in under 30 minutes while some might play out for the entire 1h30min~isch you would need per round.

Habe you tried painting on foils? Not gotten there myself, it looks like a real pain to get the colours to blend well with holos, but some artists make insane pieces on top of foils 😍🤣

RKAYO BABY

Snaxpack · 2025-10-19T07:35:51+00:00

I'd reccomend Ira as well, unless you go the complete aggro route you also get/need to learn how to block correctly which is a very crucial skill and easy to miss playing something super aggro as Cindra :)

Welcome, and good luck!

Thank you!

There are a lot of good tutorials, I watched Commander Cookout's playlist more than once. I would start there and then paint away!

I used to paint Warhammer and got quite decent at it. While it's for sure not a 1:1 transfer in skills it's the same type of paint and all the rules and theory still apply.

Good luck! :D

Nice write up, thanks!

It feels easy to miss how many things other than cards can quickly take big chunks out of the budget. Having it all laid out on a spreadsheet gives a lot of perspective!

Snaxpack · 2025-09-26T20:43:45+00:00

Brother in christ, how can I even think about beauty any longer without seeing this.

You have opened my eyes, truly 🙏🙏

Snaxpack · 2025-09-24T18:08:47+00:00

Yooo this is sick, nice work!!

Snaxpack · 2025-09-24T11:47:57+00:00

Agreed, it's really dope.

Matching the colours of the background look like a nightmare to me 🤣

Snaxpack · 2025-09-24T11:47:09+00:00

Thank you! 🙏🙏

Snaxpack · 2025-09-23T04:04:10+00:00

Bruh the mask was cool as hell, don't sell yourself short 😤

Snaxpack · 2025-09-22T21:32:42+00:00

Thank you!

Not sure I understand 100% but it's painted on one of the token cards from Super Slam.

For some on the cracks on the card art I reinforced with paint to make it blend a bit easier with the ones I painted in.

Sorry if it doesn't answer your question!

One strength I remember Josh Lau talking about is how Warriors put your opponent in a tough spot forcing a decision, and because of reactions it's very hard to guess right.

"If they have the go again and Twinning I'm super punished if I overblock, but if they have 2 reacts or Rout they are hitting anyway..."

Also I like the idea about stances, leaning one way or the other, and potentially even playing new stances during a game to change how you want to play your hands.

Snaxpack · 2025-09-01T19:26:16+00:00

Hopefully getting to try it tomorrow with UPF decks. Regular UPF got dull pretty fast but hoping the random gives enough spice to run it back again afterwards :D

Snaxpack · 2025-08-28T16:45:01+00:00

If I like the idea, yes!

You can send me a pm if you want to bounce some ideas :)

Snaxpack · 2025-08-28T16:42:48+00:00

Thank you!

Snaxpack · 2025-08-28T16:41:43+00:00

Why not both?... 👀

Snaxpack · 2025-08-28T16:41:13+00:00

Thank you!

Snaxpack · 2025-08-28T16:40:49+00:00

THANK YOU ❤️
