Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

239. Kayo, Disarmed and Harmless w/ Kevin "Smurph" Murphy
Q: What does Kayo's departure mean for Brute archetypes and the meta going into Worlds and Yokohama?
Kayo's departure removes a key disruption and tightens Brute clocking, making certain Brute lines less oppressive while opening space for other Brute builds to emerge; it also shifts the balance against Prism and Verdant in some matchups, prompting players to adjust tech and sideboard considerations.
240. Goodbye Verdance, Hello Boltyn? w/ Marklin
Q: Elevator pitch for returning to Boltyn and whether Lumina Saber is still viable.
Marklin suggested Boltyn remains appealing for players who enjoy a complex, high-variance shell, but cautioned that in the current meta Lumina Saber, while iconic, is not as strong as Raiden in many lines of play; the deck still offers a unique, thematic experience despite power concerns.
237. Rule-Ch-Ch-Ch-Ch-Changes! w/ Joshua Scott
Q: What advice do you have for those who are good at the rules but bad at the game?
Find what you love about Flesh and Blood and engage with it that way. Engage with the community, explore different aspects of the game, and practice to get better.
237. Rule-Ch-Ch-Ch-Ch-Changes! w/ Joshua Scott
Q: What are your fresh faves from Compendium of Wraith?
I want to play a stacking either Viserai or Florian to get those tasty rune shards, and I also want to try out Lexi again, particularly an Ice Lexi build.
236. Does PEN Hit The Mark? w/ Zayne Johnson
Q: What is your ultimate goal in Flesh and Blood that makes you say, I made it?
Top 8ing a Pro Tour is the huge goal for me.
