I've got a couple mats that are absolute favs (my first ever Pro Tour) but I still sometimes see a mat for a new hero and think, "Wow, I want that!" Trouble is, once I get it I end up not using it. So yeah, mats are in a strange spot. One cool thing that's been popping up lately are the custom Metal Fab Tokens. LSS could partner with them and produce all sorts of custom tokens/dice/etc... that would be highly desirable at least until most of the player base had the ones they personally like. Same thing for a deck box company, though if it wasn't Gamegenic they would need to make sure the box worked for equipment slabs and stuff.
My running theory is that the weapon will have a benefit on pitching an Earth card. Something like it gains Pierce 1 If an Earth card was pitched to attack with this
If the mat is of a card or hero I like and I got it from achieving something, as a new player, I think the mats are cool. I get to use it alot and rep my achievements. I think they should do some sort of dice or negative armor token tracking for winning. The more things I get to bring out every game that reps my achievements on the table the cooler it is to me.
If warrior had a rainbow playset of sharpen steel type cards at 🔴 and 🔴🔴 that gave +4, +3, +2 and +5, +4, +3 respectively to any weapon, that might crack open the whole class. It seems like LSS always holds the class back. Warriors never get anything until guardian gets crazy support. And even then, its hardly ever enough.
Cas is a beast. Nice guy, too, you can’t even be mad losing to him. Also, we’ve seen that legendary equipment generally has some repeatable effect compared to majestics where they get destroyed when you use them. so my guess is they decided to make an armor with some turn-after-turn effect and made it a legendary for that reason 🤷♂️
Problem with buckle is the utility of it. I mean at the end of the day the opponent only has four armor slots. If you're going to get rid of their armor do you think that you need to clear forearm slots? And even if you do, can you fill them with frost bites to make that worthwhile? If you can only use or place one to two frost bites, what's the point? Likely they'll break their own armor at some point or the mangoes will take care of it
Personally I like playmats, but I’m speaking as someone newer to Flesh and Blood who hasn’t had as many opportunities to win one. It would be different if they sold playmats. Could be cool if they did other limited gear like deck boxes, special sleeves, or non card tokens. Also would be cool if they did alt arts of heroes/weapons or playable cards
I think legendary is more than a buzzword. Honestly, legendary like Majestic probably carries with it an internal multiplier of power. Yes you could have it as a token for all. Anyone cares but if they have any form of stratified system of gauging power levels, it would apply to those keywords
As a ninja player Ira Needs an armory deck. Ninja's identity is suffering. She could use another specialization and synergy. Couple of ways to build her with the midrange value or aggro. Her aggro plan needs to be fleshed out
I remember when I got my first cf hero from a pq, it literally inspired me to build the whole deck. Now I see people literally giving away the RF heroes. I think weapons would be cool, but I would hope that the weapons going forward are stronger if that is the case. It would stink imo to have half the weapons be cc playable and the other half aren't.
I personally liked the FaB playmats at the beginning, but now I have 60+ not including duplicates and I could not care less about getting more. They'll just get thrown in the closet. 🤷
Ironically when HH first came out, I was working on a hatchet Olympia and went on stream with Josh a few times to discuss and work on it. It eventually evolved into the Hatchet Dori with the decimator axe sideplan for some MUs and I'm sure others independently figured out similar things but I actually pioneered hatchet Dori in HH, Josh shouted me out several times after he top 8d with the list.
Secret Jarl tek is to play Assassins, not run armor, snipe their hand, and keep up the pressure.... wait... or am I losing 5 life a turn? Oh well, I'm playing Nuu into everything.
yo guys seriously. this vibe and banter has been legit one of the most enjoyable listens ive had with a fab podcast. more plzz!!
I appreciate that, thank you ❤️🫡
We planned on doing a few and seeing what the reception was like
"You gotta be a little more earthy". I like this.
Nuu will be eating well with decks needing more blues in for the ice matchups
True! I didn’t consider that
@@TCG_Staxwellit's all fun and games until I start putting in titanium baubles

Matts are just too abundant on the market, i like the idea of deckboxes or something similar if done right

Im hoping so, if not I will play mono ice

Dice/armor tokens is honestly a great idea!

I like this, big numbers is something the class needs a lot. A 2 mana +5 doesn’t even seem great compared to other classes support

Yeah I assume the legendary tag must be a marketing strategy. LSS’s way of saying they feel the card is very strong

That’s where I’m at as well
@@TCG_Staxwell Yeah it's a bottleneck

All of those ideas sound great! Binders would be cool too!

Jarl needs a Cleave style card or have it built into his weapon.
Would be very cool from a flavor perspective

a 50/50 is still better than a guaranteed miss, but I definitely agree overall
Tec plating reprint will be legendary

Same. I think a lot of players are in our boat
@@ThePeekXD I just dropped 300 bucks to get the anime Ira mat from a guy going to Osaka, and then I'll be in the same boat as y'all.
I just give mine out to new players .
How about "blackened fingers" for the gloves
I could see a play on that

Unsung hero
Guardians can’t win unless they luck into chained pummels
They could also count their blessings

Can confirm warrior is the worst class and guardian isn’t that great either
Very sad and unfortunately true. Kassai and Victor are some of my favorites
