    What I really enjoy, is that you usally see all your (pricey) cards in most of the games. Not just the the top 15 cards of your 60 card deck…

      @SalemGamorrah Agreed, the players/consumers are the ones that win when developers make incredible games.
      Unfortunately I feel there's no universal metrics to rate and review games so the public never truly gives great games the recognition that they deserve which makes new developers not focus on game development.
      But I digress! Cheers my friend for spitting some truth.

      @woqu99 You can get a decent deck for 100-200. A competitive deck is anywhere from 400-800 generally if you want to go pro! The Armory decks they sell are effective straight out the box for LGS events and probably only need 100 or so bucks to upgrade them nicely! So depends on your goal.

      ​@@woqu99You can also try the commoner format of FaB, a commoner deck usually costs between 8-15 dollars for full potential. One of the most expensive cards i can think in commoner is "sink below", which costs 2 dollars each, but is a good investment for other game formats too. Not sure if everyone likes commoner tho, my attempts at finding opponents for commoner in Talishar (FaBtcg fanmade online version) always failed.

    Been looking into FaB since dropping Yugioh and one concern I have is “pay to win”, that is if you’re not running the most expensive cards you’re gonna get stomped over and over again. doesn’t seem to be the case with FaB from what I can see though

    • @SalemGamorrah
      @SalemGamorrah  24 дня назад

      There are some expensive cards in the game if you want to play at the absolute highest level, but most of them aren't that huge of a difference and the better player will usually win even if you pay more than them. Apply the 'player skill' multiplier to every card because there aren't many free wins in FAB.

    Regarding rotation, no TCG starts out with rotation since of course there aren't enough sets for that to be possible. Without rotation, good cards in the earlier out of print sets will have more demand than availability, and the prices will skyrocket. Rotation is the way to prevent this.

  • @ezmacnsteeze
    @ezmacnsteeze Месяц назад +1

    My problem with FaB, and I think a big reason it's not more popular, is that the game has too strict of a "value system" imo. Heroes are visually different and the art is amazing, but when playing you quickly realize that most of the cards feel like they do the same thing. This card attacks for 4 or blocks for 3. Sometimes you get an on-hit effect that makes your 2 cards trade with their two cards. Then, you get into this tempo loop when you are ahead that makes it so your opponent can't play the game.
    I'm glad you love the game! And I think it's a stretch to call it the "greatest card game" when there are so many good games out right now. To me, FaB had its day in the sun, and it tried something new and different which I appreciate.
    MTG, yugioh, and pokemon are still the "biggest" tcgs out. New games like One Piece and Star Wars: Unlimited have exploded in popularity and I'd argue are much "better" games to me.
