In this episode of Steelfur Speaks, we continue with our weekly podcast format ( UK Tuesday). In this video we talk through a crazy notion I had about FAB eras. The Devs said we were entering an era they called FAB 2.0 after Uprisings launch but I'd like to argue we have now entered the FAB 3.0 Era. Agree/Disagree, let me know in the comments section below?

Sadly Episode 1 of Season 2 got lost between here and youtube, but you can still find it on there https://youtu.be/mtiC5klZdWI This is episode, we talk about the recent August updates to the blitz format in the flesh and blood TCG. These changes are great and deserve the discussion they bring. We also talk about how the FABTCG Blitz format has come so far in the last year, going from a format where 1-2 heroes regularly dominated to a format where many heroes can compete.

In this episode of Steelfur Speaks, we talk about my experiences playing competitive FAB leading up to The Calling in Birmingham, and how that led to a critical choice, the decision to decide to not try and win...

In this latest episode of Steelfur Speaks we sit down to start enjoying the Dusk to Dawn Pre-set release hype. The question on everyone's mind, will this actually solve many of the design issues that FAB's 4th set Monarch left us with? Its a 50 min long episode, I probably answer that question at some point.

Over the next few episodes we are doing a spreadsheet series asking what the costs of maintaining Flesh and Blood collections is, and looking at what those trends can tell us about hero popularity and other game trends. The first in this series looks at what it would cost on average to 'subscribe' to a specific hero or class to get every card that comes out for that hero every set.

Over the next few episodes we are doing a spreadsheet series asking what the costs of maintaining Flesh and Blood collections is, and looking at what those trends can tell us about hero popularity and other game trends. The second episode in this series takes us to the question of what the most expensive hero in FAB is as of the 30th of March 2023. The result probably won't surprise you, but the gap between the highest and the lowest is quite shocking.

In this bonus bonus episode, for all you people representing Dromai this week at nationals, I sit down with noted Dromai enthusiasts Jamie Faulkner (Presto on Discord) and Jake Armes (RegularRaccoon on Discord). Jamie if you aren't aware has piloted Dromai to many top 8 finishes at large events including nationals and callings. Jake is Jamie's testing partner/deckbuilding mad scientist, one of only 2 UK level 2 judges, and dedicated illusionist main. In this roundtable we have a great discussion focused on how the damage vs life equation is different for illusionists. Which includes ideas like how dragons heal you or save you life, and how to evaluate pivot turns in Dromai. I genuinely think this is a must listen for all current and aspiring Dromai players.

In this episode, we talk about UK Nationals and what was happening in the lead up the event. Most of my UK friends know most of this drama but we were getting a lot of questions from overseas, so this should answer all of that. This video was recorded before the actual event which i think provides a unique perspective but (spoilers) it was fine. We also discuss how missteps like this and the lack of an ongoing event schedule are affecting people's willingness to travel to events... Oh and some Meta discussion too, why not.

This interview was recorded just after the UK national championship, and features the new UK national champion talking about his deck and strategy approach. Slightly outdated as it wasn't uploaded here straight away, but its a really great interview and George is an amazing FAB player so do take the time to come hear his thoughts.

In this episode we cover the Pro Tour in Lille, how the event went for me, takeaways from the tournament, and some much needed discussion about the price, prizing, and purpose of a battle hardened and Sunday events in general at a large tournament.

In this episode of Steelfur Speaks, we cover a lot of ground, starting with the calling in Krakow, which I had the pleasure to cast, and then moving on to Fab 2.0 and the classic battles starter set. Hear my thoughts on Viserai, the potential problems with classic battles and the things I was really disappointed to not see acknowledged in the Fab 2.0 announcement

In this latest episode of Steelfur Speaks, we discus the Monarch print run announcement and the implications of those numbers for the growth of the game. We also talk about the recent Ban list update (or lack of update) and what that might mean for the 1st of May when the new update is announced.

In this latest Episode of Steelfur Speaks we look at what could be the event calendar for the year, the good and the bad and what it means for the future of casual and competitive Flesh and Blood. We also talk a bit about the Pro Quests, and Pro Quest Season 2, what lessons have and haven't been learned.

In this latest episode of Steelfur Speaks we cover the Pro Quest wrap up, what went well and what went poor, the post-PQ meta, and recent announcement about Sleeves, Collabs and products.

Of course its far too early to say for certain what Flesh and Blood's next expansion Kingdom's will hold, all we have for evidence is a hint at hidden treasurer (Talisman of Dowsing), and the words of James White that we wouldn't see anything that new in the set and to expect an expansion on existing themes. But that could mean so much! So lets explore some of that together.

In this video we dive into the prereleases and the hype. Also talking about collectability, whether the price of first edition is just too damn high? As always we are on a big Flesh and Blood thing right now but other game content is coming soon.

In this first episode exploring the new hit TCG Flesh and Blood we talk about the game and why you should play it. Simple concept, but lets start here as its more nuanced than you think! Next week we will move on to the Community, and then the Company!

This episode is an inaugural one, though for listeners on youtube you already know who I am and what I do. I talk about card games, historically only the Legend of the Five Rings LCG. But since that is dead now, I am moving into other games, specific Flesh and Blood and Ashes Reborn. This episode talks about why I'm expanding into other games, why I've chosen those specifically and what they mean to me. Come have a listen.
