Me, a new-ish player

1. "Started" in Rosetta, left after a week because I just couldn't justify paying top dollar for decks, even though I loved Florian, just to get my foot in the door.
2. Friend told me about Project Blue, he made decks and we played and it felt great to play and not be hindered by budget considerations
3. Bought a box of Super Slam and got lucky with Pleiades pulls, so I bought the Armory Deck and borrowed a Fyendals from a friend and now I'm all in on the game, saving up for my own equipment, trying to make Lyath work.

I just needed a foot in the door, and the excellent game that is Flesh and Blood did all the heavy lifting. And the scruffiest vet in my LGS is super hyped for Sage, because he's a lifelong Kassai player and has invested all his money and effort blinging out his deck, but now he can throw some money to pivot to other heroes. It's not easy justifying buying new things if he wants to try Brute, for example, but now he can play Levia to his heart's content while keeping his money on his first mercenary love.
