Got the MTG blues due to Wizards acting so crumby lately.
Gonna visit my brother in law (we usually play Magic (and ignore my sister)) this weekend, so wanted to try FAB.
So I ordered 8 blitz decks off eBay for super cheap; my local game store doesn't sell FAB. I also bought official Dromai and Fai blitz decks because I heard they're a good match up.
I noticed the oficial decks came with a card ranking their difficulty to play. Dromai is 4.5 stars difficult I guess, and Fai is 2 stars.
Played a game with my wife and it was challenging to get the hang of defending, and knowing what to pitch, and realizing you don't have another action point.
Anyways I'm hoping to get some suggestions on which decks we should start playing with, that hopefully also will be fun to play against each other. Just by reading some heroes, I feel they'd be hard for a beginner. The decks I have are:
- Azalea
- Dorinthia
- Bravo
- Katsu
- Rhinar
- Viserai
- Kano
- Dash
- Fai
- Dromai
Wife and I played Bravo v Dorinthia and she really struggled trying to get two attacks with her weapon each turn, and I don't think I ever used my weapon. Azalea seems like she might be straightforward.
Super excited to play another game.
Maybe the game just takes time to comprehend, but the difficulty ratings made me wonder. Thanks for any help!!
Update: Played Fai vs Azalea last night. It was fun but on my (Fai's) first turn I had a huge chain and did a bunch of damage. Took a bit for my wife to figure out Azalea but the game ended up being close.
May try another game with these decks since we liked the themes, but my first impression was that Fai "forces" Azalea to block and without enough cards in hand Azalea might only get one arrow shot. Meanwhile Fai could block once or twice and still get in quite a few swings. I'm guessing blitz is more swingy since it's such a short game. I was wondering if Katsu vs Fai might be fun since they're both ninjas
Not sure why but didn’t post the video link in my last comment.
Here you go!
