To little surprise given our other thread, I've been brewing decks I like for each Jarl, Betsy, and Valda. I've put Pleiades aside due to the loss of Miller's, but I also like that deck 😂

Starvo was my first CC hero upon EVR's release, I played with a nonfoil Wail for the duration. He's my main LL deck, so the Wail ban made it drop enough to where I could justify the purchase. Over time, and keeping up with new Elemental sets, I've got the deck to 80 foils, with CF Pulses and CLFs 🔥

My latest #fabtcg shadowbox commission, for a friend who loves the Bloodrush of Brutes and the beat down of a solid Rok. Was able to put this piece together just days after the last one. I love when I get windows to complete several projects 🥰

It's not an exact amount of time, but if I create a lobby it sometimes takes 1-2 minutes for an opponent to join, and I'll shuffle for that duration

You've got it backwards haha Someone else traded in the Sledge, which enabled me to then acquire it for the set

Cay, Curious Crafter @caycreates.bsky.social · 01/08/2026

I like to play the simulators while sitting at my desk with a pile of bulk in hand, shuffling it a couple times any time I 'would' shuffle. Queue lobby is especially great for the feel of a longer shuffle, while you're waiting for your digital match

Cay, Curious Crafter @caycreates.bsky.social · 01/08/2026

This was over 4 years ago now, so I admit the details are fuzzy 😅 I got the Titan's Fist & Anothos through trades. The Sledge was traded in to my LGS at most 2 weeks later, so I committed. This was not long before Wail got banned in CC, so bought mine for $30 With the four in hand, my path was set 😂

Cay, Curious Crafter @caycreates.bsky.social · 31/07/2026

I started playing at Tales of Aria back when only four were printed, and I've been pretty good about keeping up as they release. Anothos was the only promo, so I bought the other three. My locals know me to bling Guardian, so the GEM ones have been easy through reputation 😅

It's #fabtcg collector's week, and I'd like to show off my crowning achievement: EVERY Guardian weapon to date in Cold Foil 🔥 Each of these Axes, Logs, and beloved Hammers have brought uniquely dear memories, and I treasure each one 🥰 Excited to participate in #fabcw with @fabtcg.com

All thirteen Guardian weapon cards laid out on a playmat depicting the art of Bravo, Star of The Show. The cards follow the stretch of his open arms in an upwards curve, with Cay's favorites separated at the bottom.

MPW promises warriors will never again lament a lack of on-hits, but no wager or disruption will ever be more impressive to me than this! Drawn To The Blade gives Hala (and more?) some much needed ways to force interaction, and threatens some really explosive turns. #fabtcg

My latest #fabtcg shadowbox is complete!! It's been a hot minute since I've played Wizard, but the new tools from Omens are really intriguing 👀 Undoubtedly the most pieces I've cut and layered for a single card, and the final result is electrifying ⚡️ Available for sale, DM to inquire

Cay, Curious Crafter @caycreates.bsky.social · 02/06/2026

Omens is upon us! I had an absolute blast attending #fabtcg prerelease, and the art for Zyggy is incredible 😍 I love when I'm able to use foils in my work, and with Zyggy is just feels so perfect 🔥 (check the replies of this post for a video) Available for sale, DM me in interested

Another new shadowbox: complete!! After finishing the Hammerhead commission, I wanted a CF Shadowbox in my own collection, and my locals were so kind in supplying me spare copies from their GEM packs, and I had one RF from the precon to give the background a pop. I joyously present: Moment Maker 😁

I've been tempted by the idea of making a video essay on *something* someday, but don't think I'm qualified to tackle this one 😂

Making a different kind of #fabtcg art, I took my GEM pack art cards, glued them to poster board, and hand painted extensions to the sides to fit the frame's mat. Overall, I like how it turned out! I can now display our gorgeous Superstar in my home 😍 Now, to source more art cards...

Silver Age's full launch is nearly upon us, and I'm so excited to present my latest shadowbox! Made for a friend, I present: Lexi! I'm really loving the added touch when I'm able to use an RF copy of the card to give an extra pop, and I'm so proud of how I made the bowstring 😍😁

She's beautiful TT^TT Holding it in person makes it even easier to see Cay's attention to detail. This made my whole heart happy.

In 2024 I brought Hala to life. But a warrior requires an epic sword. I made the Zenith Blade for between the Dawn and the Dusk there is the Zenith of the Light. I asked James to make her a hero and he vowed my sword would be there too. Thank you for making me part of this legendary story. ⚔️ #fabtcg

2026 is off to a roaring start at my crafting station, with a THIRD shadowbox complete in two weeks!! 😱🥳 It's a chilly winter up here in Canada so you best bundle up, lest you catch Frostbite ❄️

This week is turning into a great week for making #fabtcg shadowboxes, as I've finished this piece only two days after the last 😂 A commission as birthday gift, I present this FOIL Raydn, Duskbane!! 🔥🔥🔥 MILB

Cay, Curious Crafter @caycreates.bsky.social · 08/01/2026

Thanks!! I typically cut an extra layer of the face following the line of the chin, and there's an extra layer of spacing to give that head it's "pop" 😁

Cay, Curious Crafter @caycreates.bsky.social · 08/01/2026

My latest #fabtcg shadowbox, all the way from the highlands of Aria, introduced to us in WTR, the OG Guardian: Bravo, Showstopper!! My favorite details on this piece are Anothos's handle lined up one layer behind, and the extra layer for his popped collar 🔥

It's taken quite some time to make these, but I'm so proud to present: DOUBLE SIDED SHADOWBOX!! This was a really neat commission idea to work on, a pair each for both player and opponent, and I'm in love with the final results 😍

Alright #fabtcg fam, I've got a vitally important question regarding SAge deck building: Hunk or Twink??
