Wondering when and where I can buy my Calling 100 Sink Below playmat that wasnt available as advertised this weekend. It was the primary souvenir (outside of the Sink Belows themselves) that I wanted from ATL. This is an actual question, not just snark to he clear. #fabtcg @fabfoundry.bsky.social

If you use any online FAB tool, it is almost certainly relying on FAB Cube for card data.

Confirmed ✅ Legend Story Studios is introducing a new mechanic known as pitching. This is intended as a way to use cards to play other cards from your hand or arsenal while preserving cards in your deck. You can even play these cards once you draw them in a “second cycle”‼️ Your thoughts on this ⁉️

We are letting a 40 life Lightning Illusionist equip Lightning Greaves and put Gone in a Flash in their deck. Cool design choice. Can't wait to read about how they fucked this one up in the ban list 3 months after release.

The historically most broken talent printed on three of the most historically broken classes as the entire foundation for our newest set while we are already enjoying an unmitigated aggro epidemic. This is a choice of all time. Yikes. #fabtcg

Heading to the first and last Sage ProQuest of the season for me. The format seems wildly swingy from the games we've played so far, and I am not strongly convinced that it is any more competitive than LL ever was. Hoping future seasons clean up the meta a bit. #fabtcg

Finally home after a long day at another #fabtcg RTN. This one had a waitlist with a cap of 64 players. We ended up shy of the 64 person cap, but it was still a crazy room of killers. I got my third Top 8 in three weekends, but the ol girl managed to close it out today. More LL points to Earth.

Back home from another #fabtcg RTN. After landing second seed last weekend, I finished Swiss undefeated today and was 1st seed of top 8 with Verdance. Unfortunately 8th seed was a Gravy Bones. 💀 Board state heroes have consistently been the worst feeling element of the game since I started.

Mercy was way too powerful and killed both me and Billy today in the Top 8 of an RTN. Was able to blast her down in Swiss, but couldn't get the run back to lock up the invite. Excited Billy got his invite though. I was in at second seed @ 5-1. That just means we go again next week. #fabtcg

Road to Nationals is back again. Always an exciting time of year. Colorado has less events than usual this year, but we're still blessed with six of them. Time to see if we can cut through the sea of killers in this state to lock up another invite to nationals. #fabtcg

From 16th place at 6-1 to missing cash with a 1-4 Day 2. I am happy with how I played. I think I played some insanely strong opponents, and I think I needed some slightly more favorable matchups and some slightly better variance. I did what I could with what I was dealt, and it wasn't quite enough.

Tanner L (Whitetop) @professor-whitetop.bsky.social · 14/12/2025

16th place at the Calling Seattle after 7 rounds of Swiss today. Highest placing Verdance at the end of Day 1. This is my best placement going into Day 2 of any event. Hoping I can keep cool under the pressure and lock in strong placement by the end of it all. #fabtcg

What an AMAZING weekend of #fabtcg at #FABPhilly. I racked up an undefeated record of side events Fri and Sat, into a near top cut miss on the bubble of the Battle Hardened at 6-2. Third bubble at a 200+ person Battle Hardened, so it's a familiar feeling by now. Matchups posted in the 🧵.
