  • Great FAB podcast!

    Wonderful balance of thoughtful analysis of the game while still leaving room for both of the hosts’ personalities to come through. Episodes are in depth but always well paced, with a high ratio of content that is directly about the game.

  • My Favourite FAB podcast

    I got into FAB around the same time Arsenal Pass begun making podcasts and have loved and listened to every single one. The hosts Hayden and Brendan are both super engaging and very knowledgeable on a variety of Flesh and Blood topics.

    Their weekly episode is something I look forward to listening to every week and it has helped improve my fab skills exponentially. I really would recommend this podcast to anyone interested in flesh and blood.

    Thank you for what you do Hayden and Brendan!

  • The best Spikey FaB Pod

    Hayden and Brendan are great at digging deep, and the way they try to take advice about specific decks/metas and glean more broadly applicable heuristics makes this one of my favourite strategy and improvement tools. Swag.

Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

Arsenal Pass EP289 - Will Assassin Claim Top Spot With Mastery Pack Assassin?
Q: What is your view on the specialization keyword and the restrictions it places, and would you rather see more or less of it? In addition, would you prefer LSS to release more completely new and unique heroes or more versions of existing heroes?
Hayden and Pankaj like specializations when they restrict a highly flavorful or impactful card to the hero it suits, but note that a hero's class and talent can sometimes already provide enough restriction. They favor a balance of new heroes and returning versions, with Armory Decks as one way to revisit heroes without adding many cards.
Arsenal Pass EP288 - What Does FAB 3.0 Mean for the Future?
Q: What is the place of rogue or off meta decks in Flesh and Blood? You hear people talk about their local Riptide terrorizing their armory, but it's rare to see something like Shoma winning with Azuri. Do you think rogue decks are where they should be, or should the lowest tier heroes be more capable of winning at higher level events?
Pankaj says there is a sliding scale between rogue and established meta decks, since a successful rogue list tends to stop being rogue as players recognize and adopt it. Hayden adds that some heroes lack the ceiling to compete with the leading decks, while both hosts say occasional high-level results and local wins suggest rogue decks have a reasonable place in the game.
Arsenal Pass EP286 - The Decks to Play for Pro Quest Season
Q: If you could choose one arena and one deck card to shift to be Sage legal, what would they be and why?
Hayden favors downshifting cards such as Tempest Dancers, Target Totalizer, Glyph Destruction Nodes, and Tri Shot to open up Wizard and Ranger strategies. Pankaj chooses Hunter's Clave for the arena and Persuasive Prognosis for the deck, aiming to give Assassin heroes more disruption.
Arsenal Pass EP280 - Preview Chat, Meta Goodbyes and Open Decklists?!
Q: What are your thoughts on open deck lists in tier 3 and above events?
We should move toward open deck lists for tier 3s and above to level the playing field and improve fairness, though it comes with logistical challenges like pre-round timers and the potential loss of the unknown element that some players enjoy.
Arsenal Pass EP 271 - Traps and Other Traps in Flesh and Blood
Q: Majestic weapons: should they be decoupled for CC and Limited, or kept together?
They debate whether decoupling would help balance and flavor while keeping limited and CC experiences distinct, suggesting a need for better alignment of power with format identity.
