Theory & Speculation about Flesh and Blood TCG
Rosetta: FaB's Most Unique Draft Format?
Outside of the crazy Bright Lights experiment, Rosetta is looking to be Flesh and Blood's most unique draft format. Diving into the numbers of how draft format "shapes" are made, Juha dissects the uniqueness of FaB's 10 draftable sets thus far and places Rosetta on the map.
Note that this video was made on Aug 11, 2024, with very few cards spoiled, so the speculation here is preliminary.

Heavy Hitters Draft Review from Road to Nationals
zhlédnutí 180Před 4 měsíci
This is very different from my other videos, as I had a Heavy Hitters draft review lying around and wanted to upload it if people are interested. This is from my RTN 2024 top-8 draft. Note that this was during the RTN season when there was a Promo CnC available to winners who won with the hero that had won the most events, which at the time of this draft was going to be Kassai or Kayo. I refere...

It’s super interesting, before Rosetta was announced I was already designing exactly this split into my own fanmade set. I wanted an experience like monarch but without feeling bad for making drafts feel narrow by picking class cards. I’m so excited to see how Rosetta shapes out to be as a learning experience
Yeah exciting to see if my wild speculation here holds until more cards are released
Great analysis, thank you for the content
Glad you enjoyed it!
Super cool analysis! Love your content
Thanks, appreciate it!
Stats + Infographics + interesting design conversations makes this video absolutely killer! I'm more excited than ever to open Rosetta and play its Limited formats. Drafting Rosetta is gonna be fascinating because you'll have to pick Earth, Lightning, Wizard, or Runeblade to pivot on. I'm expecting different "versions" of each hero's deck based on whether they pivoted on the Talent or the Class.
Exactly! A lot will depend on the core mechanics of those class cards, i.e. do they push you to one of the elements and how hard. If they do, then class cards become more like tha class cards of old which push you onto a lane vs keeping you open as I speculate here
very informative and interesting!! thank u for the talk!
Thanks! Happy there's an audience for speculating about excel tables for 10 minutes 😂
I love how you make such deep and complex topics so easy to digest with tables and graphics, and all within a time frame of 10 minutes! Thank you Juha for the amazing content thus far!
Thank you so much! Comments like this keep me going. Sometimes I think that there can't be an audience for this stuff since (almost) no one else bothers doing numerical analysis like this. But I'm glad there are those who want a different angle to looking at the game
I just started getting into FaB this week and your videos have been incredible. Please continue your work, it is helping new players like me get into this game. Subscribed, liked and leaving this comment for you!
Thanks!
Awesome content man! I actually just started working for LSS and have been learning the game over the past 5 months. I play Nuu so your deck tech video was amazing, super insightful. And now I clearly need to get my hands on levels cuz it does look amazing.
Thanks! After playing with Levels for some time, I think I'd actually highlight different things about it since the use case in this video of drawing 2 cards from Silvers is actually quite rare 🙈
Thank you so much for the amazing content! As a new (and Nuu) player it’s absolutely wonderful to have access to such an insightful deck talk. I’m based in Japan, hope that I can say hello at worlds!
Thanks! Really appreciate it. I may or may not attend Osaka, depends on a few factors still but come say hi if I do
One intersting think i spottet was that the german champion did not like looking for a scarp but you want it in every mu. Nuu is trikky
Many ways to build. Cutting it opens up a bit more space on the blue selection but then you need to be careful with pumps as well. There's a whole other philosophy with zero Hisses and Venomous Bites for better consistency
hihi grats on the win, thank you for the amazing deck tech, can you share the deck with the sb guide? thank you <3
Sure, added a link to the description
Are you more afraid of the pitch stacking Kano than the agro version? I found that vs an agro one i didnt have any agency in the game while the pitchstack i could get lucky with random banishes and shuffles from agony. Thanks for the video very insightful
Kano skill is the biggest factor in my fear no matter the strategy. But having said that with this list I think I'm fine into 95% of stacking Kanos while having some trouble against the very best. And vs tempo Kanos I can always just get lucky so it's like 30%-70% depending on the Kano's skill
Very nice, always love to see Assassin doing well! Can confirm from my own testing that Blanch is fantastic against Prism. Also quite good in the mirror and against warriors where you need some more good value hands.
Nice, thanks! I'm also thinking it's good into Riptide
Well done and congrats! Thanks for the deck tech!
Thanks!
Great content. Congratz on the win.
Thanks!
Excellent deck tech! I ran your list at an Armory tonight and had a great time. If you're going to PT Amsterdam, I hope to see you there!
Thanks! I'll def be going, come and say hi!
Great! Also, in reference to the other comments on Blue Hurl and EStrike, have you considered running Flick Knives for the end game of guaranteeing a Mistblade? It might allow cutting Hurl for EStrike for the extra reach and 3 block where those are good. Just some thoughts!
Great video!
Thanks, big fan of your videos as well!
why not play blue hurl instead of the red one? its a transcend option for a turn + another just a nick target for +5
I did consider it but didn't test it. That's actually a cool idea worth revisiting!
2:06 Can venomous bite be used on daggers?
Nope but what I meant is that it's often used in a play pattern where you dagger, attack and then bite the attack so in essence you pitched a card for dagger and +4. Could've been clearer on that!
Hello, thank you for the great video. Why you didn't consider E-Strike ?
I tested it a couple times and all it did was block 3 when I drew it. I just felt the deck was more about synergy and disruption than flexibility. I'm reconsidering it now that Nuu is more popular since it's great in the mirror
sick deck thanks for sharing your thoughts and congrats on your win
Thanks!
This is going in my “send to my friends learning” playlist
Nice!
Great content, great way to get into limited in a more structured way. Thanks!
Appreciate it!
Great analysis!
Thanks! Great account name 😂
So Enigma 3+ Spectral Shields / wards -> Cash Out, getting 3+ Silver. Later turn with LoE in Arsenal, piching 3 Blues to Silver, drawing 3 Cards + this gets 4 Modes (draw 3, Go again). Three Visits would be big, or another LoE, or that 20 attack. Or or or.
Each mode can sadly be selected only once I believe 😭
Good vedio , i am altso exicet for levels of enlighjment
Thanks!
MATH!
👆
Any chance you could do a breakdown on Mistveil now that all cards have been revealed?
That's the plan but have had very little time for content creation right at the worst time 🙈 but the next video should be on doing this for MST for sure
We've papered and tested this only for the last day or two and there are only 5 of us in the group so maybe sample size is too small, but Cosmic Awakening is scary consistent... On a side note, the Fable might overtake Heart and Eye as the most playable Fable
Interesting. I didn't properly consider Cosmic Awakening. Where does the consistency come from? Guessing from TtU partly at least? I looked at the Fabled and it seems breakable in a very specific matchup ve another very specific matchup. Not sure it's ever maindeckable like Heart and Eye?
@JuhaSaarnilampi the consistency comes from how often you're able to pull it off on 2nd cycle. A majority of the time we were only hitting 15, but we did hit 20 three times. We were testing it before TtU was revealed and we just kinda shoved it in as a one of as what guardians like to call a blue block 3 (and also to eff around) it rewards how you pitch stack first cycle, if you don't shuffle (we didn't play stir the pot) but it plays differently for each of the mystics. Maybe we were just lucky, idk, but we're testing more this Saturday now that everything was revealed, ill update you (if I remember) about whether we think the card is gas or ass As for the Fable, in my head dealing with a 0 atk kodachi or dagger or bringing 4 atk break points to 3 for as long as you can keep it out (obviously can be played around since it only affects the first attack ) just seems better than opting or gaining life to me. But what do I know, I'm just a big fish in a little pond at my lgs lol
The card definitely seems like a standout. I've been doing some testing on Iris Enigma and it's stellar there. On lean hands, it can be a 2-card 9 or 2-card 7 draw a card. And on bigger hands, it can be so much more like you said.
Cool. Yeah the flexibility is what sold me although I spend a lot of the time talking about the upside. It's like AoW with Estrike tacked on and pitching blue
Sweet
Thanks!
Love your content! Incredible insights with easy to understand visual presentation.
Thanks!
Looking forward to seeing you apply this to MST!
Me too... So hyped for this set!
Presentation here is very engaging for something so math-y!
Thanks! I cut more than half of the content out to keep it around 10 minutes. Happy to hear it worked
great
ty :)
Love your work. Are you going to Japan?
Thanks! Unfortunately not (yet at least). Osaka is still up in the air
All of these videos are really informative, especially as a newer player perspective. Any chance you would delve into sideboarding at some point? I feel like it is one part of the game that is quite obscure beyond the "add poppers against illusionists" routine..also not a lot of content regarding this topic. Keep up the great work!
That's a cool idea! I'll put it on the list. The list is currently quite short so this could come up soon, but at the same time once the set gets spoiled more that'll likely be my source of content for a while
Flesh and blood content of this level is hard to come by nowadays!
Thanks! I'm aiming for the niche of "galaxy brain but too lazy to watch a video longer than 15 minutes" 😅
Great video. Losing to fatigue drives me crazy
It does 😮💨
Doesn't Nuu's ability not work the way it shown in the first example? It says attacks with Stealth banish cards that defended on this chain *link*, I though that meant only that single link and not the whole combat chain? It does seem like it should work the way you pointed out in the example though since the idea is to synergize with Contract cards, I'm just confused on the rules.
No it's definitely only cards defending Stealth attacks that Nuu banishes. But Contract cards don't care where they're banished from as long as it happens in the same combat chain, i.e. when the Contract ability is active. And Contract cards banishing stuff also lets you play them with the other Nuu ability. So there's synergy both ways
Hmm hurts my head. Might skip this set
Haha, I'm hoping it kind of ends here and the rest of the set is less instant speed to be honest
Can always count on you to make high quality discussions videos. Please keep them coming!
Thanks! Will do my best
great introduction to the stack using new cards. new and veteran players alike will benefit from understanding the subtleties of response windows and layering.
Thanks!
This is the best MST theory discussion video ive come across so far. Refresh on key interactions, important questions to keep in mind on set card type distribution and effects, and especially a starter on looking out for draft dimensions. Really good video for prepping MST limited.
Thanks, appreciate the kind words!
Great video, love the very clear explanations :)
Thanks! Trying to go for concise clarity rather than my usual deep rambling this time so glad it works 😂
Loving the content Juha! Been a huge fan since I got to play you in Birmingham
Thanks!
Absolutely marvelous video. I really love the clear and concise way to explain the basics.
Thanks!
Good stuff Juha, keep it up!
🫡
Great stuff Juha! I look forward to watching more of your content!
Thanks, appreciate your opinion always! You're also one of the great sources for staying on top of spoilers and speculation for me so thanks for that as well
How are we only just now learning about this channel!? Great content, we're excited to see more of it.
Maybe because I started it yesterday 😉 or maybe you were sarcastic and my sarcasm radar is broken 🤔
