This week on the pod Hayden and Pankaj tackle a theory and some deep lore of Flesh and Blood. For sometime now the idea that "FAB Math" or math as a main gameplan to out value turn cycles, has been a prominent school of thought in terms of certain times of meta domination and deckbuilding focus. But how real is it, and is FAB Math still as impactful in today's game, is it even more so now than before, or perhaps it was always an illusion...
