I've been looking for a ' This is how the game works' video that was clear cut and simple to understand; Holy crap you're a breath of fresh air compared to other vids. Thank you and good job!
I don't understand why Flesh and Blood players try to make their game look so complicated. This video was crytal clear and understood the basics, thank you!
I feel like this is a simple and effective tutorial to get you to start a game, but I'm about to play my first game today and I already have sooo many questions that are fundamental to playing (or would be for MTG at least, which I'm experienced with): 1. Does priority work identically to MTG? 2. Do instants and reactions use a 'stack' like in MTG? Or are they all the equivalent of 'split second' in MTG? (I.e. if you play an instant can I play one in response that will resolve before yours resolves? Or does your instant resolve before I can do anything to respond?) 3. I read on Reddit one person say nobody gets priority in the start and end steps so therefore nobody can cast instants during those steps (which is different to MTG where casting things on your opponent's end step is a very common action for lots of decks). But then a different person said you could play an instant in response to someone going to arsenal a card, something that happens in the end step... So obviously both of these can't be true at the same time. 4. This video mentioned you had to declare a card to be played first and THEN (and only then) can you pitch cards to generate mana/energy to pay for it. In other gameplay videos I've seen people pitching first to then reveal a card they are going to pay for, are they just playing incorrectly? More importantly, can you keep mana after playing a card? If I pitch a blue card for 3 mana, and then play a yellow card which costs 2 mana, can I use the remaining mana on playing a blue card for 1 mana? Or does that remaining 1 mana disappear because it wasn't utilised by the spell that I declared in order to pitch cards? 5. Once I declare a card I want to play, can I overpitch cards to pay for it? E.g. if I want to play a 3 mana card, can I pitch a red card for 1 mana and then a blue card for 3 mana (so i intentionally generate 4 mana when I only needed 3 and could have generated 3)? I'm not sure if that would ever be necessary or not, but I imagine there are times you want to pitch cards so you can refresh your hand and play those pitched cards later in the game (or even if you just think the card is bad for the matchup so you would rather pitch it and draw a fresh card). 6. Can you play as many reactions as you want per attack? Or only one and then they can play a defence reaction and if they do play a defence reaction you can play another attack reaction but otherwise you can't play another attack reaction? I've figured some of these out by watching some gameplay videos, but still needing to look up others. But my point is a few of these are pretty fundamental to being able to play, and arent explained in this video, so the game is obviously more complicated than is shown here.
I just found your store and funny enough I am starting to play FAB with some products I bought from you! Not a lot of stores have the stock and products you sell online :)
So an Action-Item card like "Healing Potion" takes an action point to play and then just sits there. Then on a future turn you can use another action point to activate it's effect?
So if I use an action that cost 2 but I pitch 3 does the 1 remaining resource get wasted or can it carry on to the next attack action (assuming the first attack action had go again)
You can use it for the remainder of the turn so yes, absolutely you can pay for next weapon attack or a card - if you do have that action point available (via go again or other means).
I bought two decks yesterday, Ninja guy and Girl that generates dragons and a player taught me how to play it. I really had a lot of fun and I could understand everything easily and I won :D Can I use a Defense Reaction if I dont have a card to deffend normally? If so, I suppose it will be playerd after my opponent plays an Attack Reaction card or opts for not doing so 🤔 If I play Phoenix Flame as my second action, does it count as chain link 2? Does Storm of Sandikai always prevent Allies from being deffended by my opponent?
Yes you can declare no blocks during the "defending" step (when you're defending with whatever cards from hand for free for their defensive value), it'll pass to them to play an attack reaction, then you have the opportunity to play a defense reaction by paying any needed costs Phoenix Flame counts itself and would be considered chain link 2. Your chain link will close when you either play a non-attack action or choose to close it (this can be a fun trick to close the link, put phoenix flame into your graveyard, then be able to pay to activate Fai to get it back again) Storm of Sandikai just gives Dragon allies the ability to attack once each turn. The reminder text in italics is reminding both players that allies cannot be defended by defending cards or defense reactions. This is true no matter what weapon is being used. Basically if someone chooses to attack an ally instead of a hero, it's going to get hit and there is no way to prevent the damage to that ally. Sure the dragon died but that's less damage that your hero is taking :)
Question: I am new. When in the combat chain i play a card that says "on hit" and my opponent plays nothing to respond, then i play another character because previous card said go a gain, the total damage between both cards is 6. and my enemy plays cards to defend for 6.. Does the hit from the card go into effect since my opponent blocked all 6? or did they have to block that specific card before I played card after it? I dont understand if they must block the specific card or after i do all my cards with go again and im done attacking do they then play defense cards and whatever amount they can block they specify which cards they wanted? So every time i play a card that says go again or anytime i play a card in general thats attacking my opponent chooses what they want to do then that chain closes and another one opens?
