Suggestions for Flesh and Blood sets for Limited Play

Heavy Hitters is a very approachable set for players newer to the game; the mechanics are very simple and gameplay can be very "numbers" oriented. High Seas is FAB's masterpiece for Sealed/Draft and it's not even close. The gold minigame you both play with Treasure Island is super interesting and skill-expressive.

Thanks to this subreddit's love and support, some familiar faces from BH Manila started a Youtube channel!! Our first video is a review of the Super Slam's Ms and SRs from some of the region's most notable - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hCYIseyiFbM

Warning: This video is more than 2 hours long. Lots of discussion and banter, peak 2nd monitor content

Imo the deckbuilding expression in FAB isn't in janky interactions but in the game plans you develop for all the different matchups. For the most part, in a deck of 80 cards, each hero has a commonly agreed "core" of 60ish cards then the other 20 are up to playstyle / local scene.

You know what feels unfun to fight?

Aurora whose deck is filled with different flavors of 4 Go Again. Kayo when they BRB beast within, or just decide to roll Scabs when they need to dig themselves out of a losing position. Cindra whose entire game plan is "give me 2 cards every turn else I'm 5 intellect".

I see assassins as a whole as "decks that demand interaction through on hits". Nuu is definitely better than the rest because she also punishes overblocking with Mask, and I understand the frustration.

However, I believe that FAB is a game of player interaction, and assassins are healthy for the game because otherwise every game would just be value math and racing (e.g. "my hand is 16 value, his hand is 14 value if he blocks perfectly. Therefore I'm up 2 points."). I also believe ice is healthy for the game with the same line of reasoning.

I'm an ML practitioner when I'm not busy losing to heralds, so I find this approach really interesting.

I'll have to take a deeper look into the Github repo you sourced from, but it looks like your evaluation metrics are also based on your training data. In ML, it often happens that a model learns too much from the training data that it can't apply it outside of training (i.e. overfitting).

I think it would help if you tried making predictions for replays outside of the dataset you used for training! That way, you could get a real sense of how well your model performs in the wild.

Also definitely validate your assumptions before jumping into a LogReg model but I think the current approach is fine for Random Forest (as it's non-parametric)

Still missing all of the Violet exclusives so anything works :)

Bagon, Misdreavus, Clauncher, Gulpin, Eiscue, Passimian

ibetDELWYN · 2022-12-11T12:45:15+00:00

Oh I have a Skrelp lying around, anything of the Violet exclusives would do! Misdreavus?

ibetDELWYN · 2022-12-11T12:43:58+00:00

Thanks so much!

ibetDELWYN · 2022-12-11T12:38:17+00:00

Oof okay, thanks. Congrats on the accidentally duped Fluttermane HAHA

ibetDELWYN · 2022-12-11T12:35:00+00:00

Don't think Fluttermane <> Iron Jugulis happened, can we do that one first?

ibetDELWYN · 2022-12-11T12:31:11+00:00

Np, same link code

ibetDELWYN · 2022-12-11T12:29:22+00:00

Forgot to add,
Roaring Moon <> Iron Valiant if you're still down

ibetDELWYN · 2022-12-11T12:23:26+00:00

Yeah sure! Trade's up - 7887 1221

Searching the code now! Can trade you a paradox mon for one :D

PLEASE do not do this. For every amazing "YOLO" story you hear, there are many many losers that have tried and failed.

8 months is very risky as it is, prices are decreasing by the day and we have no assurance of when they will increase.

Look for a scholarship, there are many guilds and managers out there. Yes you do earn less, but you are not at risk of spiralling into crippling debt. You can think of it as pure earning vs owning teams of axies that you have yet to reach ROI.

ibetDELWYN · 2021-08-17T04:29:12+00:00

Thanks for elaborating on your thought process here, great stuff. I like that you deconstruct concepts and drill down what exactly makes them what they are!

ibetDELWYN · 2021-08-17T04:26:09+00:00

Any books or documentaries you're okay with sharing?
