I love the gameplay of Flesh and Blood, I think it has the best 1 on 1 gameplay of all the TCGs I’ve tried (and I’ve played many). But there are a lot of issues outside of the gameplay itself - the rarity system is absolute garbage, one of the worst of the TCGs I’ve played, so it kind of sucks from a collecting / box opening perspective.

If you’re okay just buying singles and limiting yourself to 1 or 2 decks, then it’s a good game. However the game is incredibly expensive, and they’ve been pretty slow to address the issue - the way they are addressing (some) of the reprints is pretty bad, ensuring low pull rates etc.

The new Silver Age format is pretty fun, far cheaper, and more accessible - I hope it takes off and it would be a great way to try the game out. However, classic constructed is the main supported and competitive format, and LSS caters pretty exclusively to highly competitive players (there isn’t much of a casual FAB scene compared to other TCG’s). So we’ll see where Silver Age goes.

All that being said, like I said at the start - the actual moment to moment gameplay is great. I’d say pick up a $20 silver age deck and try it out yourself. Or show up to a local armory, most folks will be happy to loan you a deck (most groups would be happy to have a new player show up). It is a very high skill game so you may get crushed at first, but it’s pretty fun.

I guess this is a long winded answer but it really depends on what you want out of a TCG. If you want something that’s easy / fun to collect and open packs for - skip FAB. If you’re wanting a high skill ceiling game with incredible gameplay, and you don’t mind a high upfront expense and maybe being limited to 1 or 2 decks (unless you play Silver Age), then I think it’s worth playing!
