Sitting on my couch about to log back into work and I realized it had been 6 years since my last time in Pittsburgh. It has to be a can't miss location now whenever I can go back.

@KylePorterNS @JoelRepta
Just a typical Saturday for the boys
English
@PheanoBlack @YukiLeeBender I agree, the good Nuu decks need productive blues, and/or more above rate plays. I found the straightforward attack and pump decks didn't get past the value of zen/enigma
English
@YukiLeeBender You don't have enough hand extenders or ways to play above rate. This would be great in outsiders but not mst. Class card slam is much worse this set.
English
went 1-5 drop day 2, rough event
drafted nuu in 4e, 2n, 2z pod
liked my deck but other nuu had much better deck in the mirror and I low rolled vs enigma
Nuu L
Enigma L
Zen W
pretty happy with how I navigate draft and played, things just really didn't go my way, thought I'd 2-1
English
@BlitzkriegMeph @TariqPatel10 7 is most likely roll, but distribution from 2-12 is still 50/50. If first die is even, second die has 50/50 shot to make the total even or odd. If you roll an odd, second die is 50/50 to make it even or odd.
English
@TariqPatel10 It's right though. You can't role a 1. So it's only 2-12.
Meaning:
6 Even
5 Odd

@MantenFAB @JustinTheSalmon Can you see how this is a gotcha for people that don't know the secret password? You take the long route to 'I'll concede, you get the invite, Ill get the Gold foil' but you can't say that. You also cant concede, but technically you can concede if life totals are low
English
@JustinTheSalmon Do you want the invite? Would you like to reorganize the prizes? Gold Foil for second place? Ok , lets play. No Blocks.
English
It took my opponent and I with a Judge present 30+ minutes to figure out how to communicate legally about how we wanted to do prizing at a PQ. I had 0 intention of using the invite and was there for the gold, he would use the invite and was happy to split but we couldn’t say that
Tariq Patel@TariqPatel10
Under the new policy change you can’t discuss prizes and concede…BUT you can discuss prizes and throw the game? This is getting messy without fixing anything tangible, while only serving to punish players who aren’t versed in judge technicalities. Not a fan.

There are GOLD packs in @fabtcg ???? I have a mighty need!
常盤ゆい🐸YUI TOKIWA @ TCG YouTuber@shiganaimtg
いま！！ FaBの公式生放送見てたんですけど、なんですかこれ！！？？？！？！？！！？？？#fabtcg

@DroodHT @TAFKAmisplaced It genuinely confused me when I got to uni and learned that not everyone owns at least 1 rice cooker
English
@TAFKAmisplaced i strongly believe that a rice cooker is the best product you can buy for the $ that will improve your life.

4-0d a prelim with the same list, haven't felt this confident in a decklist in a while
Jack Potter@HouseOfManaMTG
Won the modern challenge for the 3rd top8 this weekend, same list as yesterday -dromoka + relic, vibes for atlanta increasingly becoming better
English
@Frilior @Samjobyrne @baublewaffle Yeah it packs really well. Can only do a couple deck boxes on top of clothes but worked well for me
English
@JoelRepta @Samjobyrne @baublewaffle For my sister in law a CHz26 last year, and she loves it. I don’t think the bag was out when I filmed that older video in 2022 or I would have included it over the cpl24
English
Okay #fabtcg community - scabskin this, limited that, give me your HOTTEST takes on this one.
I need a new backpack. Hit me with your best recommendations.
English
@Frilior @Samjobyrne @baublewaffle I recently purchased an Evergoods CHZ26 that I used as my one bag for Vegas (along with their 8L packing cube) and have a packable Matador Refraction bag for my fab/around town bag. Fits Andy's good advice.
English
@Samjobyrne @baublewaffle There's always a consideration between size and bulk. If I'm traveling with a suitcase, I find that a 15-28L bag tends to be the sweet spot for fitting everything I need sans the suitcase, but if it's just one-bag travel, something 25-35L tends to win.

Finally got our twitter off the ground and what better first post to start with?
Value Vampires@ValueVampires
The first of many PT trophies for the Value Vampires. @MaxKlein_SC showing that he's the best Warrior player in the world.

@_Loovr_ @fabtcg @BryanGFaB Variance exists in cards games as a feature, not a bug. It may look scarier because it involves rolling a die, but it's no different than playing for your next hand to contain a certain card - both are calculated risks that you can choose to take or not.
English
Rewatching the stream from PTLA left me speechless… And this is a quote from a game leading developer. I’ll remind everyone what’s written on a @fabtcg welcome page:
“good decisions and not good luck”
Does this still sound like a game rewarding your decisions to everyone?

New MTG Cheater just dropped. Content Creators, start your engines!
Apparently not even a new cheater either. This dude was banned pre-pandemic but is back at 'em with ye olde Fetch Land Vampiric Tutor™
_Joseba_@Joseba_Mtgo
How can you be so trash to cheat in front of a camera? fr paper magic is tainted by people like Daniello and Vuono. Just check it a x0.25 to see how they fetch a goryos and dont suffle it. cncer ppl be like this
English
Well this message aged well LOL. @JoelRepta got me on the Levia Copium a week or two before the PT, but he was sane enough to abandon ship. I however was not 😂
English
@DroodHT @PascalMaynard Yeah paper packs have been Belgian print, which do exist for Heavy Hitters but NA has had Japan print for this set, don't know why
English
@PascalMaynard I think the Japan printing facility doesn't have paper packs yet. Not sure where Heavy Hitters was printed since we don't carry it anymore but thats my guess.
English
With the release of Star Wars unlimited there is now 2 TCGs that have paper packs (props to FaB leading the way). Its a superior pack opening imo and better for the environement, it blows my mind that wotc has not adopted this.
Don't mention Modern masters these are not the same
