Work harder to disenfranchise the casuals in your area. They should go do something else if they aren't willing to commit to something fully #fabtcg

Not wanting to engage with #fabtcg on a competitive level is a sign of weakness in both intellect and character imo. Go beyond the casual. Become an athlete, a true Olympian, a titan of character

An "Echoverse" you would be one of conviction and skill apparently. None a more nobler pursuit than the greatness of a tournament grinder. Should you need coaching, I offer my tutelage at an incredibly reasonable rate #fabtcg #mtg

I have evidence that people who post negative sentiment towards #fabtcg on Bluesky and Twitter are plants by Riot Games in order to drive people away from FaB into Riftbound. It's an elaborate operation but it's very real and extremely dangerous

The Magus Sisters @themagussisters.bsky.social · 23/09/2026

#fabtcg should honestly be a bit more expensive, especially in the M and L slots. This keeps the riff raff out

The Magus Sisters @themagussisters.bsky.social · 22/09/2026

Reminder: it does not matter if a deck is fun to play against. Your complaints should be met with derision or deaf ears if this is a genuine concern you have #fabtcg

030

The Magus Sisters @themagussisters.bsky.social · 22/09/2026

Imo if you aren't a fan of strong decks and just "like to play what's fun," that's the mindset of one who is weak and unsuccessful at #fabtcg

030

The Magus Sisters @themagussisters.bsky.social · 22/09/2026

This sounds like if my personal hell was a real physical place

The Magus Sisters @themagussisters.bsky.social · 21/09/2026

Going to go to the next PQ season not to play in any but simply to tell everyone I'm more intelligent than they are #fabtcg

The Magus Sisters @themagussisters.bsky.social · 20/09/2026

Been seeing a lot of discourse here lately, so I will lend my wisdom, as Socrates would. If you need a card to keep decks you don't like in check, that's a sign of weakness. Strive to be stronger! Would you ride a bike with training wheels your entire life? No, I thought not. #fabtcg

060

The Magus Sisters @themagussisters.bsky.social · 20/09/2026

One reason I think people look up to me as one of the most intelligent members of the #fabtcg community is that I am consistently correct about the Competitor's Ethos. Honestly, at this point if you block me, or even disagree, I think that says a lot about how you approach this game.

071

The Magus Sisters @themagussisters.bsky.social · 19/09/2026

Personally, I think people whine too much about cards that are very easy to play around, like Ripple Away. There are other cards and heroes worth complaining about, specifically ones that counter my strategy of playing fatigue builds, or decks like Marionette and Nuu. #fabtcg

083

The Magus Sisters @themagussisters.bsky.social · 18/09/2026

Be a beacon of light, a guiding star for others to find their way home. Do not complain about cards being legal. And to those of you who want to complain about the complaints, strive to be better. This is how we better ourselves. Thus Spake Magus Sisters. #fabtcg

020

The Magus Sisters @themagussisters.bsky.social · 17/09/2026

Bluesky should remove the ability to block me. No one should choose to deafen their ears to my message. #fabtcg

060

The Magus Sisters @themagussisters.bsky.social · 17/09/2026

Pleasant to see that LSS didn't succumb to the cries of the open decklist whiners. Kibble, your wage is safe. #fabtcg

The Magus Sisters @themagussisters.bsky.social · 16/09/2026

Nothing is more important than winning. There are no medals in the Olympics for those who come in second place. In the words of Ricky Bobby, "If you ain't first, you're last." #fabtcg

The Magus Sisters @themagussisters.bsky.social · 15/09/2026

Why aren't you playing whatever the best deck is? The only logical reason to not do so is to have a crutch should you lose. "I would have won if I was playing a top tier-" Yes. Play a top tier. Prove yourself. Not doing so? Honestly a sign of weakness. #fabtcg

The Magus Sisters @themagussisters.bsky.social · 14/09/2026

Pleased with my time in Seoul. Kibble was successful in their scouting duties, and didn't get lost (stuck) like they did at the last event we attended. I have bestowed upon them both their wage, and my permission to purchase whatever they so choose with it. I'm so proud. #fabtcg

The Magus Sisters @themagussisters.bsky.social · 14/09/2026

If you so choose to vote in the selection for Silver Age, know that this is a sign of weakness. A lion does not fear those he dislikes. Be like the lion. Don't be weak. Withhold your vote this season. #fabtcg

If you compete, you should look upon Sephiroth as an inspiration. He threw off the shackles of corporate oppression to blaze his own trail. Do the same. Competing isn't about money, fortune, or fame. It's for the love of the game. #fabtcg

The Magus Sisters @themagussisters.bsky.social · 11/09/2026

I want no distractions while making my sealed deck. If you see me at the World Premiere, leave me in peace, I'm working on serious business #fabtcg

070

The Magus Sisters @themagussisters.bsky.social · 09/09/2026

What's more important, prizing, or winning? Winning, obviously. There's such a thing as a "participation prize." There's no such thing as a "participation win." Seeking out a higher EV for an easier play experience is the sign of one who is soft and cannot compete on their own standing. #fabtcg

The Magus Sisters @themagussisters.bsky.social · 07/09/2026

Gatekeeping is essential. Without it, you could have happen to #fabtcg what happened to #mtg commander: a deeply technical and skill testing format destroyed by casual gamers. I wrote a dissertation on this; On the Importance of Gatekeeping: A Treatise of Intellectual Thought by the Magus Sisters.

0120

The Magus Sisters @themagussisters.bsky.social · 06/09/2026

You should be allowed to ask (politely) for your opponent to concede. Not everyone understands that they've lost, and imo this is a helpful learning experience for new players. #fabtcg

2100

The Magus Sisters @themagussisters.bsky.social · 05/09/2026

#fabtcg won't die because it's a game for intellectual titans like myself. The mental fortitude required to compete in FaB gives it a much longer lifespan than casual games like Magic the Gathering, Riftbound, or Chess

The Magus Sisters @themagussisters.bsky.social · 02/09/2026

I just blocked the stupid thing. I have no time for fake accounts run by LLMs, or parody accounts run by trolls with too much time on their hands. #fabtcg

2210

The Magus Sisters @themagussisters.bsky.social · 02/09/2026

Honestly it's about time LSS did something to disincentivize players from picking up D-tier chaff like Maxx and Teklo. I don't understand why you'd be upset over this tech piece for that. #fabtcg

0101

The Magus Sisters @themagussisters.bsky.social · 01/09/2026

Sorry I haven't posted my musings in a bit. Kibble got lost at Calling KC after the event started, so I had to drop from the tournament to go find them. I finally found them (stuck) in the convention hall this morning. Will be back to more #fabtcg insights soon

The Magus Sisters @themagussisters.bsky.social · 28/08/2026

If you are calling for prebans prior to IAR being fully revealed, I think you should reevaluate yourself as a competitor. Would a general consider a battle lost before engaging the enemy? No. Think of what a true warrior, like Madara Uchiha would do, and emulate that instead. #fabtcg

The Magus Sisters @themagussisters.bsky.social · 27/08/2026

A key element of competing in #fabtcg in a serious event (Callings, etc) is running the marathon that is the all-day event. Ask yourself, "is my caloric intake sufficient for this endeavor? I usually bring several rotisserie chickens in my satchel to events. High protein, and keeps fresh well

1100

The Magus Sisters @themagussisters.bsky.social · 26/08/2026

Never do this. It's important to express yourself, like the Madonna song. Whenever I see #fabtcg discourse, I always weigh in, because I think everyone in the community values my expert opinions, and if you start weighing in more, they might value yours as well. Food for thought!

170

The Magus Sisters @themagussisters.bsky.social · 25/08/2026

Unironic opinion, you should always have around a 70-75% minimum talishar winrate. Anything less than that is honestly embarrassing #fabtcg

270

The Magus Sisters @themagussisters.bsky.social · 25/08/2026

If this is the future, it's going to put people like my sibling out of a job. I'm all for progress, but we need to think about who it leaves behind. #fabtcg

The Magus Sisters @themagussisters.bsky.social · 23/08/2026

Wanna be serious about FaB? Consider leaving all FaB discords. Sharing information is *always* disadvantageous to your overall goals (which should be winning). I'm not in a single discord for FaB (I am however, in one for model tanks), and I think the results speak for themselves. #fabtcg

0171

The Magus Sisters @themagussisters.bsky.social · 22/08/2026

I think most people don't realize their potential in #fabtcg because they lack a disciplined time schedule. Here's mine, in a thread: 4:00 AM: Wake up from sleeping (I was listening to Tool during to enhance my mind) 5:00 AM: Breakfast (try to hit my macros right here at the beginning of the day)

The Magus Sisters @themagussisters.bsky.social · 20/08/2026

Whenever I see a low tier win an event, I think "this sucks." They don't deserve it and got lucky. All there is to it #fabtcg

090

The Magus Sisters @themagussisters.bsky.social · 19/08/2026

Instead of calling for the ban of fables, why don't you consider remedying the situation by just buying them? They're inexpensive in the grand scheme of things #fabtcg

030

The Magus Sisters @themagussisters.bsky.social · 19/08/2026

Excited for Shadow Runeblade to return to CC. Been too long since Chane was gone, and there's been no outlet to play some of the most powerful cards in the game, like the Widespread cycle, or Painful Passage. I'm personally advocating a Skeleta unban as well. #fabtcg

The Magus Sisters @themagussisters.bsky.social · 18/08/2026

Pro advice: Never lend cards to another player. This is a strict disadvantage to you. Would a Samurai give his sword to an opposing samurai, so that he may be bested in combat with his own blade? No. And neither should you with your cards. Selfishness is a virtue. #fabtcg

0100

The Magus Sisters @themagussisters.bsky.social · 17/08/2026

Looking at the recent meta spreads for the Pro Tour and the past few Callings, it's clear that the metagame is very open with lots of hero variety. The question then is, if Marionette and co aren't up to the task of stopping this, who is? They should reprint Nuu. She'll put a stop to this. #fabtcg

2112

The Magus Sisters @themagussisters.bsky.social · 17/08/2026

Kibble is considering going to Calling Hamburg and wants to know if I can scout for them if I lose. Two issues: 1. I have never lost a game 2. I'm not paying for them to come to Hamburg with me. They need to pay their own way. They'll value the experience more. #fabtcg

The Magus Sisters @themagussisters.bsky.social · 14/08/2026

When I was a child, no older than five, I asked my father, "father, do you have a BFFL?" I will never forget what he told me. "Friends are for weak people." I internalized this mantra from that day forth. It's why I'm not on a testing team #fabtcg

020

The Magus Sisters @themagussisters.bsky.social · 14/08/2026

In the #fabtcg comprehensive rules, it states that players are expected to meet the basic requirements of acceptable hygiene. So while you can't use body odor to your advantage, as far as I can tell there's no *rule* prohibiting you from dousing yourself in AXE to basically achieve the same thing

050

The Magus Sisters @themagussisters.bsky.social · 14/08/2026

If someone ever asks: "have you heard of this great game called Riftbound?" Simply say "begone casual" and splash them with holy water until they leave #fabtcg

2160

The Magus Sisters @themagussisters.bsky.social · 13/08/2026

Anime characters we can learn from: Maximillian Pegasus. He created Duel Monsters, and had custom cards only he had access to. Would you rather play a game, or make the rules? This is why you should play decks that prevent your opponents from playing, like Nuu. #fabtcg

072

The Magus Sisters @themagussisters.bsky.social · 12/08/2026

Kibble (my sibling) expressed interest in the Dr. Mortimer Armory Deck. I told them they need to be smarter with their paycheck. If they want to buy #fabtcg cards, they should devote less of their money to unnecessary food and beverages. Should they not, I think that shows a lack of commitment.

The Magus Sisters @themagussisters.bsky.social · 12/08/2026

More anime we can learn from in our quest for the highest Competitive Ethos. Charizard never listened to Ash, because Ash was a trash-tier Pokèmon trainer. Be like Charizard. Forge your own path and ignore complete dweebs, like Ash, who is a total scrub #fabtcg
