Something I would like to add. There are two printings of each set. 1st edition printing which is a set number of boxes and unlimited printing. Unlimited is said to be printed until demand drops below a certain point. Do not get discouraged if you see booster boxes for thousands of dollars. Make sure you are searching for unlimited printings of the first 2 sets. 1st edition are mainly for collectors. LSS keeps high priced, limited print runs for collectors and unlimited for game play. Ensuring that their is space for everyone.
@@realandimaginedxyz First edition and unlimited is no longer a thing for fab. Starting with the 7th set, uprising, they changed to one box. The chase cold foils and now marvel versions are just rarer to get.
@@realandimaginedxyz the only difference between 1st edition and unlimited was 1st edition had special foiling called cold foils. Unlimited has rainbow foiling. So the cold foils from 1st edition were a limited number.
Prof, you did such an INCREDIBLE job explaining the game. Your concise description of the basic rules are going to be so helpful for new players. Welcome to the FaB family!
definitely. while there are some more complex steps as part of the game this video did an excellent job covering all the basics well enough to get started.
From what I’ve heard, Flesh and Blood is pretty expensive. Is this true? If so, what is the general price range for a casual player? Are budget decks viable?
@@_somerandomguyontheinternet_ Blitz decks are the way to go if you want to get started playing the game! You should be able to pick them up easily after May 14th. Also, Unlimited product is for playing, 1st is geared more towards collectors. I would say grab a box of unlimited as well!
@@_somerandomguyontheinternet_ 1st edition cards are collector's items, but the unlimited print run is very affordable, with a couple exceptions like in any game. 🙂
I saw all the ads and internet mtg entities talking about this game for the past few months, but never saw a comprehensive guide on how to play it until right now. Thanks so much Prof, you da man 💕🤘
The Professor is one of the few people I've seen who can come off super corny and professional "Hey there kids, how is everyone feeling today? Good?" and yet is totally sincere lol
From what I’ve heard, Flesh and Blood is pretty expensive. Is this true? If so, what is the general price range for a casual player? Are budget decks viable?
@@_somerandomguyontheinternet_ Depends on what you consider expensive, but you are probably hearing that because of the 1st edition product prices. You can usually find Unlimited boxes of product for around $85-$100 per box. There are definitely budget decks available. Many current players put together basic decks to hand out for free or sell at a very reasonable price $5-$10. If you are looking to be a little more competitive, you will probably end up spending around $200 - $300 for a deck with some of the more rare cards.
@@sethnofcks6448 they do have foils and rarities, even cards with rarities called “fabled” which is about 1 in 40 boxes. There not powerful to play, but there very cool to look at.
@@chuckturdburger4612 if only there was a powerful Merfolk spoiler designed for Modern that might power up the Merfolk deck Prof has been playing for years…
Discovered Flesh and Blood through Team Covenant, and it's great to see it get the recognition it deserves. The introduction of Talents (Light and Shadow) in Monarch is also an important example of the game's potential future, since to represent every current hero in all eight talents will take up to 4-5 years. Over 7 years in development, with 4+ years worth of planned content, it's no surprise this game feels so solid.
Very well done! I love the inclusion of some of those very specific points, like health and intellect not being limits on life and hand size. Very important stuff! Also, the spoiler at the end is SO PERFECT :D
Thanks for the format information super helpful! I recommend ultimate pit fighter we have had some epic battles akin to commander at my local game store.

@@_somerandomguyontheinternet_ for players? Not really. If you want to play, then you should buy any set with the "Unlimited" tag. Booster boxes of those types run anywhere from $90-$110 per box, so about like any other TCG booster. For collecting? Sure. The main reason for this is that collectors generally angle to purchase 1st edition product, which demand a premium price. As far as starter decks are concerned, I highly recommend picking up the upcoming Monarch blitz decks! They retail around $12 USD and they look like a fantastic way to jump in!
@@_somerandomguyontheinternet_it's very expensive. But only if you are a collector. Each set has about 45 super rares and 7 ultra rares which majority of people will likely literally never see. These can be in absurdly low drop rates one I have is like 1 in 75 packs. But these aren't always even the best cards and you can easily make a very good deck with cards that won't cost you more than like 10 cents.
I think FaB has really cemented itself as a modern TCG with real value. The mechanics are fun and refreshing, the quality is great, and the devs are trying to strike a nice balance between collecting and playing. Very excited to see where this game ends up in the coming years.
Worlds next month has a million dollar USD prize pool, and as someone who got into it a year ago and is still collecting, it has probably aged well, yes. FaB do a great balance between collecting and playing, something other tcgs should take note of.@@nateblanche2551
@@nateblanche2551well it was definitely diminishing but last week bright lights came out and it got a lot of old players back in it's an amazing set. The professor even has a hero based on him now
My LGS just literally handed out full boxes of packs to a bunch of the regulars because absolutely no one was buying it. I really don't know much beyond that, but yeah. That typically doesn't bode well for a game
Just have to throw this out there - If you have a paper deck you want to test, or have nobody to play the game with, you can go to felt table and play flesh and blood against an AI opponent with your own paper cards! Right in your web browser! It’s a super cool resource! Major props to the creator
FaB really seems fascinating, the idea of starting the game fully equipped and getting tired and battered as the game goes is very interesting and the steps and resource management is very original.

When this tcg first came out, i get hooked by their artstyle and various border. But now, some dude on my lgs started playing with them and i had no idea how to play it. Thanks prof! Now, i will try to build a deck
Yessssss. Thanks prof! I hope this exposes a bunch of new players to the game. To all new players. Ignore first edition items unless you have the disposable income. This game is great! Welcome aboard.

LSS has made so many great moves, even doing a virtual event during COVID where stores could charge entry (and add prize support if they wished), but LSS covered the shipping of prizes to individual players.

@@DecksandDraughts unfortunately it doesn't seem possible to get starter decks so until that's sorted there's no chance, nobody is gonna buy boosters without something to build on already :/

Going to my first in person event in like 8 years tonight. I've rewatched this 6 times its so useful. Thank you for showing this game and explaining it in such a concise and digestible format. Love your videos as always!
With the Professor as a Mentor for new interested potential players, i hope FaB will receive another boost because of this video. Thanks Prof for helping the FaB Community becoming bigger and bigger. That game deserves a big spot right next to Magic the Gathering. Greetings from Germany

Prof welcome to the world of FaB and the video was AWESOME! So glad they gave you the Mentor card Librarian, it fits a professor so well. I like how FaB took the time to give you a card related to your youtube channel, unlike another TCG that I won't mention.
"Pitching" cards like a boss! Flesh and Blood is a great game. I've been in for about 4 months now. Its another easy to learn and hard to play. Alot of backdoor strategy and tactical thinking , which makes it very fun to play. Even when you lose you don't feel bitter, you become better and learn by mistakes. Patience is a virtue and knowing when to pitch is key.
From what I’ve heard, Flesh and Blood is pretty expensive. Is this true? If so, what is the general price range for a casual player? Are budget decks viable?
Depends on what you want. But you can buy boxes for around 90 dollars. Packs are usually 3 to 4 bucks. If you are buying older sets they are expensive.
Thank you Professor. I was wandering how to play FaB but never got around to it and there you came, on white horse with shield and sword in hands (since as a hero you have two) showing exactly that... Given what's going on with MTG I wish I didn't come back to it year ago but start playing FaB instead.
Gotta love it. Proff i remember the things you said you about FaB. A lot of people are totally not on board but all it takes is a youtuber or 2 to get the sheep rolling in 👏
Thank you for this! My interest was peaked after watching you interview with some flesh and blood content creators, I might actually be ready to step outside of magic
One year ago, midway through the pandemic, I decided to return to Magic The Gathering after the LGS would open again (I did not play MTG since high school, so about 10 years). Little did I know that in a few days after my decision, I'd come across this video that would change my life and at least the next couple of years. And even though I do actually play EDH casually from time to time nowadays, my number 1 game is now Flesh and Blood :-)
I have been thinking about developing a game just like this. Commander but with equipment. Honestly I'm glad this game exists, its better than what I wouldve come up with and now I just get to play!
This tutorial was done very professionally, as expected from this channel, and The Professor gave very informative details on Flesh and Blood which demonstrate that he spent the time with the game to understand the smaller details. Awesome starting point for new players, and these new Monarch Blitz Decks look like they're going to have plenty of cards for you to have lots of fun!
Thanks for the video! I'm so happy that Flesh and Blood is expanding in popularity! There is a huge and healthy community for this game. Many stores are holding online webcam events with randomized prizes. It's a blast! I wish someone would dispel the rumors about the game being crazy expensive, though. That's really only true for the 1st edition cards. Unlimited is totally accessible. Competitive decks are still a touch pricey because of the legendaries, and Crucible of War cards are going to be hard to come by until the unlimited run of that. Budget builds are totally possible, though. We need someone to make a video about that!
A friend of mine gave me a demo deck and told me how to play, and I was kinda blown away by how similar it seemed to UFS/Universus. Feels just like that game if you started off with a bunch of Foundations/Assets already in play and got rid of progressive difficulty in the attack chain.
I just wanted to come and thank you for going to smaller channels around the community and taking time out of your day to answer a lot of community questions means a lot to me just started to get into flesh and blood and as soon as I played shadow brute I fell in love and my lgs used this video to teach us before we started to play I’ve had a lot of fun brings me back to the old days thanks a lot professor!!!!
First professor video I have paid very close attention to in awhile...imagine a professor constantly PLEASED and HAPPY from a game :) FaB is here to stay! Keep it coming Prof!
It is so great to have you join the Flesh and Blood community and start creating content for FaB!! What a fantastic video to teach gameplay! Well done Prof!
You know, the way that the fight goes back and forth reminds me of the Chaotic TCG. When 2 creatures would fight, you take turns drawing and playing attacks until one of the creatures defeats the other. You can use abilities and Mugic as well to try and make your creature be the one who stands in the end. It was a fun game, I loved it very much
The out of the loop boomer here seeing the game for the 1st time from your video. Thanks for sharing this. Reminds me of some of the new table top deck builders I played a ton a few years back but has the zesty panache of the TCG.
I literally got into FaB last week and was hoping you did a video on it. I can just show this to people when I tell them the rules and then play. My LGS doesn't have FaB but one an hour away does. I wonder if they're holding events or anything. Really excited about this new game. Edit: Talked to the owner, and he said they did have some FaB stuff and will be getting more with Monarch's release soon. Maybe I can even *play at* said LGS. That'd be great. It just feels so different and awesome to play at an LGS even if it's with the same people in my household.
This is brilliant and well done as always this will become a link to new players on the website I am building for community growth! You are the best and I am so excited to start to play this game competitively.
Glad to see another TCG getting love on this channel. Really wish Prof would've given some air time to the Final Fantasy TCG a couple years back, hands down the best card game I've played IMO, but I think that ship has sailed.
This game sounds similar to Universus. I got hooked on that when I was in school in Mississippi but can’t find games anywhere. I will have to check it out since this is getting so popular.
We're glad to see the likes of the Professor on board. Magic players will quickly realize that a lot of what they dislike about Magic (and Wizards) is no where to be found in Flesh and Blood.
Oh? How so? Also, from what I’ve heard, Flesh and Blood is pretty expensive. Is this true? If so, what is the general price range for a casual player? Are budget decks viable?
I think I might pick up a deck, I need a new card game since magic is so much money. Thanks for teaching me and any recommendations on a starting deck?
When Red Zone Rogue mentioned that you're getting into FAB, I was beyond stoked. Then this happened, thank you so much for making this video and for getting into FAB, Prof!
I've been trying to come up with my own ideas for a card game that was two characters fighting each other with various equipment, spells and items. I definitely want to give this a try.
First time viewer, but man, I wish this video was around when I first started learning the game. Terrific intro to a wonderful game. Glad to have you with us Professor!
WELCOME to Flesh and Blood! We are so happy to have you in our community! You did a great job, as always, with explaining how to play FaB. Way to go PROF! Keep these videos coming
Looks neat. Gives me Universus vibes, with the game being 2 heroes fighting, throwing down attacks and combos. But FaB doesn't have Liu Kang or Voldo or Izuku Midoriya...
This game reminds me so much of Raw Deal, which my LGS got into a while back. I have a lot of good memories from that obscure wrestling card game and the people at my LGS I played it with, and once I can safely return to my LGS I'd love to make some memories playing Flesh and Blood.
This is easily the best learn to play video out there. A great resource for new players that explains everything. Some of the info the prof shared was hard for me to find when I started playing; great video!
This video got me into FaB and I'm so glad I watched it. I went to a pre-release for Monarch and had a blast. I was even able to get a box of 1st edition at MSRP from my local game store. Can't wait to play in my first even this week and already looking forward to Kingdoms.
Hey guys here on my second watch. I wish I could say what I wanna say but it’s beyond words this is one of the best UA-cam videos I’ve ever seen and I just want you to know your hard work is appreciated!
Hey Prof! Been listening to you for years and your product reviews (excellent). This was a great video and perfect for players interested in playing. I think the librarian was the perfect FaB card for you to reveal. A mentor to many. Welcome to the FaB Fam.
@@zakalasry3230 I wasn't clarifying anything from the video, just adding to it. In a situation where an attack that already has go again is granted "if this attack hits, go again," only one go again can be granted. You can have consecutive go agains creating a longer and longer chain, but they cannot be pooled like action points can be. Go agains are more like refunded action points.
I can’t wait for Monarch. So happy to see The Professor come on over to this community. I really hope we see more videos on it. Maybe we can see some booster box games? I’d love to see his reaction when the common cold foil equipment pays for the whole box itself.
Its gonna be difficult to get 1st ed boxes though. Monarch isn't even out and boxes are well above £300 and they're going to go even higher once print runs are confirmed
Such a clear and concise 'learn to play' video! I can't wait to see the game grow from all of your efforts in spreading the word. Thanks for the great focus on such a great game!
I got a flesh and blood starter deck from a mystery box and watched this video to learn how to play. Glad I did because it showed me that I should stick to Magic😂

Given what's going on with MTG I wish I didn't come back to it year ago but start playing FaB instead.
Gotta love it. Proff i remember the things you said you about FaB. A lot of people are totally not on board but all it takes is a youtuber or 2 to get the sheep rolling in 👏
This is huge for the game. A wonderful game and community that now has one of the strongest voices supporting it. Thank you Prof!!!
1: thank you prof, was waiting for this one
2: do a 600k subscriber special! :)
YEEEEEEEES! I’ve been waiting for this video. It’s happeniiiiiiiiiiiing!
Thank you for this! My interest was peaked after watching you interview with some flesh and blood content creators, I might actually be ready to step outside of magic
Going to a Blitz event tomorrow, and watched this to brush up, particularly on Arsenal and Event Reactions. Very happy with it.
...event reactions? Defence Reactions.
One year ago, midway through the pandemic, I decided to return to Magic The Gathering after the LGS would open again (I did not play MTG since high school, so about 10 years). Little did I know that in a few days after my decision, I'd come across this video that would change my life and at least the next couple of years.
And even though I do actually play EDH casually from time to time nowadays, my number 1 game is now Flesh and Blood :-)
Glad to have you on board Professor! Look forward to you joining the ranks of Flesh & Blood content creators!
I've always wondered myself what f&b is. It's looking very interesting and damn.... I want to play it. Thanks Prof!
This was so well done, great video prof! Happy to see you making content for Flesh and Blood this is truly epic.
I just gotta comment again, it makes me so happy to hear you talking about this game I love so much!
The prophecy has come full circle.
This video may have sold me on picking up and trying out Flesh and Blood. Thanks Prof!
I have been thinking about developing a game just like this. Commander but with equipment. Honestly I'm glad this game exists, its better than what I wouldve come up with and now I just get to play!
Excellent video and tutorial! This will be so huge for helping new and interested players start thier Flesh and Blood journey. Really great job!
Finally a video which I understand well on how to play FAB.
This tutorial was done very professionally, as expected from this channel, and The Professor gave very informative details on Flesh and Blood which demonstrate that he spent the time with the game to understand the smaller details. Awesome starting point for new players, and these new Monarch Blitz Decks look like they're going to have plenty of cards for you to have lots of fun!
Welcome to Flesh and Blood family Professor!!!
Thanks for the video! I'm so happy that Flesh and Blood is expanding in popularity!
There is a huge and healthy community for this game. Many stores are holding online webcam events with randomized prizes. It's a blast!
I wish someone would dispel the rumors about the game being crazy expensive, though. That's really only true for the 1st edition cards. Unlimited is totally accessible. Competitive decks are still a touch pricey because of the legendaries, and Crucible of War cards are going to be hard to come by until the unlimited run of that. Budget builds are totally possible, though. We need someone to make a video about that!
huge community of investors for this game
A friend of mine gave me a demo deck and told me how to play, and I was kinda blown away by how similar it seemed to UFS/Universus. Feels just like that game if you started off with a bunch of Foundations/Assets already in play and got rid of progressive difficulty in the attack chain.
I love your usage of grammer as well as your appreciation for gaming. Thank you for all you share. Keep enjoying it!
I just wanted to come and thank you for going to smaller channels around the community and taking time out of your day to answer a lot of community questions means a lot to me just started to get into flesh and blood and as soon as I played shadow brute I fell in love and my lgs used this video to teach us before we started to play I’ve had a lot of fun brings me back to the old days thanks a lot professor!!!!
First professor video I have paid very close attention to in awhile...imagine a professor constantly PLEASED and HAPPY from a game :) FaB is here to stay! Keep it coming Prof!
It is so great to have you join the Flesh and Blood community and start creating content for FaB!! What a fantastic video to teach gameplay! Well done Prof!
Just bought 5 of the starter Blitz decks to try this out with my friends! Looking forward to getting them
You know, the way that the fight goes back and forth reminds me of the Chaotic TCG. When 2 creatures would fight, you take turns drawing and playing attacks until one of the creatures defeats the other. You can use abilities and Mugic as well to try and make your creature be the one who stands in the end. It was a fun game, I loved it very much
The out of the loop boomer here seeing the game for the 1st time from your video. Thanks for sharing this. Reminds me of some of the new table top deck builders I played a ton a few years back but has the zesty
panache of the TCG.
I literally got into FaB last week and was hoping you did a video on it. I can just show this to people when I tell them the rules and then play. My LGS doesn't have FaB but one an hour away does. I wonder if they're holding events or anything. Really excited about this new game. Edit: Talked to the owner, and he said they did have some FaB stuff and will be getting more with Monarch's release soon. Maybe I can even *play at* said LGS. That'd be great. It just feels so different and awesome to play at an LGS even if it's with the same people in my household.
Thank you Professor!! Flesh and Blood is awesome! Thank you for taking the time to help others learn how to play!
Coming back to this after like, three to four months, now deeply hooked into the game. Thank you for turning me onto FaB, Professor!
Thanks prof! You have really made me interested in this game. Maybe I'll shift in to F&B after I build a cube out of my MTG cards and sell the rest.
I was really hoping that your intro was going to be “Many Magic: The Gathering players ask the question: how do you play FAB?”
You got me already with the "hero and weapons" theme.
Been wondering about this game since you mentioned it a while back. Will likely check it out :)
I haven't waited so eager for a video to come out like this one. I hope this reaches A LOT of new people!
This is brilliant and well done as always this will become a link to new players on the website I am building for community growth! You are the best and I am so excited to start to play this game competitively.
Glad it was helpful!
Thanks Prof for covering Flesh and Blood! Looking forward to more Flesh and Blood content!
Glad to see another TCG getting love on this channel. Really wish Prof would've given some air time to the Final Fantasy TCG a couple years back, hands down the best card game I've played IMO, but I think that ship has sailed.
Finally decided to look for a card game to play after 30 years! Im so glad this is the first tutorial video to watch!!! thank you!
I would highly recommend looking into Ashes Reborn as well.
This game sounds similar to Universus. I got hooked on that when I was in school in Mississippi but can’t find games anywhere. I will have to check it out since this is getting so popular.
Finally we have a concise tutorial to play along with, thank you.
We're glad to see the likes of the Professor on board. Magic players will quickly realize that a lot of what they dislike about Magic (and Wizards) is no where to be found in Flesh and Blood.
Oh? How so?
Also, from what I’ve heard, Flesh and Blood is pretty expensive. Is this true? If so, what is the general price range for a casual player? Are budget decks viable?
Yeah, because i see a lot of toxic people all over fab
I think I might pick up a deck, I need a new card game since magic is so much money. Thanks for teaching me and any recommendations on a starting deck?
Dorinthea was what I heard for beginners. She's strong too.
When Red Zone Rogue mentioned that you're getting into FAB, I was beyond stoked. Then this happened, thank you so much for making this video and for getting into FAB, Prof!
Very excited to see where this game ends up in the coming years....
Cool to see this game getting big! My LGS started carrying this early and I just recently started getting deeper into it.
I've been trying to come up with my own ideas for a card game that was two characters fighting each other with various equipment, spells and items. I definitely want to give this a try.
I wrote off flesh and blood as just another fad when it came off but it’s been getting fairly popular so today I’m giving it a try.
First time viewer, but man, I wish this video was around when I first started learning the game. Terrific intro to a wonderful game. Glad to have you with us Professor!
WELCOME to Flesh and Blood! We are so happy to have you in our community! You did a great job, as always, with explaining how to play FaB. Way to go PROF! Keep these videos coming
Looks neat. Gives me Universus vibes, with the game being 2 heroes fighting, throwing down attacks and combos. But FaB doesn't have Liu Kang or Voldo or Izuku Midoriya...
You nailed it Professor, hope you will cover more on this great game !
This game reminds me so much of Raw Deal, which my LGS got into a while back. I have a lot of good memories from that obscure wrestling card game and the people at my LGS I played it with, and once I can safely return to my LGS I'd love to make some memories playing Flesh and Blood.
So this is what an RPG would play like if it was a card game. Seems incredibly fun and awesome
This is easily the best learn to play video out there. A great resource for new players that explains everything. Some of the info the prof shared was hard for me to find when I started playing; great video!
This is going to bring so many people to FaB, I can't wait to see you dig into this great game!
Welcome to the game Professor!
This video got me into FaB and I'm so glad I watched it. I went to a pre-release for Monarch and had a blast. I was even able to get a box of 1st edition at MSRP from my local game store. Can't wait to play in my first even this week and already looking forward to Kingdoms.
Seems fun. I'll definitely see if I can give it a try when my locals is open.
Just bought two flesh and blood decks gonna give this a go with my buddy tonight. Love the channel keep it up!
Hey guys here on my second watch. I wish I could say what I wanna say but it’s beyond words this is one of the best UA-cam videos I’ve ever seen and I just want you to know your hard work is appreciated!
Glad to see you covering this and other games. If you ever want to chat about Genesis now or in the future, please let me know.
I came here expecting another magic the gathering with a twist knock off but left pleasantly surprised.
I think at very first glance s lot of people say that, but damn is this game unique
Hey Prof! Been listening to you for years and your product reviews (excellent). This was a great video and perfect for players interested in playing. I think the librarian was the perfect FaB card for you to reveal. A mentor to many. Welcome to the FaB Fam.
Awesome, thank you!
Go agains aren't stackable yet action points are, just helping out. Nice video, can't wait for play support to come back!
Unless of course the card says your next attack action/weapon attack gains go again.
@@zakalasry3230 I wasn't clarifying anything from the video, just adding to it. In a situation where an attack that already has go again is granted "if this attack hits, go again," only one go again can be granted. You can have consecutive go agains creating a longer and longer chain, but they cannot be pooled like action points can be. Go agains are more like refunded action points.
I can’t wait for Monarch. So happy to see The Professor come on over to this community. I really hope we see more videos on it. Maybe we can see some booster box games? I’d love to see his reaction when the common cold foil equipment pays for the whole box itself.
Its gonna be difficult to get 1st ed boxes though. Monarch isn't even out and boxes are well above £300 and they're going to go even higher once print runs are confirmed
@@dandok3996 Oh I know. I’m happy to have gotten a few boxes. Still I’m sure he if no one else would be able to get a few boxes to open.
Such a clear and concise 'learn to play' video! I can't wait to see the game grow from all of your efforts in spreading the word. Thanks for the great focus on such a great game!
MTG player here, excited to learn FaB!
Outstanding learn to play video Prof! I will use this going forward for new players. Thank you.
I got a flesh and blood starter deck from a mystery box and watched this video to learn how to play. Glad I did because it showed me that I should stick to Magic😂
