New to FAB and after trying the 3 armory decks as a starting point I decided to upgrade and learn Azalea as my first hero. I'm sure the deck list and tips have changed quite a bit from when you first started this series, but I still very much appreciate the guide as a new player, as a lot of the things explained are ever-relevant. Thank you!

Great, original content. Riptide and Arakni have the ability to tech into any hero (except Kano), but can struggle with needing a swiss army knife deck that has success into a wide meta. That's why I enjoy the hero. He is not confined to a stock list or playstyle.

Ive been playing a style since Riptide released that these new cards seem to built for. I play the Blue and Yellow traps as my resource base, and play an aggressive first cycle. The Ratio i settled on was 30 arrows, 15 pumps, 15 traps + equipment. The rest is depending on your preferences. My favorite list is Sandscour GB and crown of Dominion with Cash-ins, Wage Gold, and Performance Bonus,and Last Ditch efforts. You have the ability to draw out your deck, last Ditch 2x in one turn and then refill your deck with the quiver or remembrance. Reel In also enables this by drawing and netting resources. Another variant of this is a control style with hand knowledge cards like seduce secrets, censor, barbed undertow, frontline scout, and Imperial ledger and Edict. Of course I'm tinkering with New Horizon, the Azalea Armory cards, and Murky currently. Basically I never thought of Riptide as a polarized hero, aggressive or defensive, moreso one that transitions from one to the other depending on the matchup.

great content! i have a build like this; without the fyendal heart tho; that could be kool. only thing about block2/sendBig, it makes codex hands hard. tried this first with DB, been messin wit BC now

Can’t wait for this card. It’s what Reel In was meant to be

I have a sweet murky water full trap blitz build. Block everything send an arrow or two throughout the game, try to pitch stack a murky water, point the tip and a few potions to get it up to 19 dominated. This might go in that build. But it's solid right now.

I got giddy seeing how cheap most of this deck is. Then I got to the equipment and choked on my drink. That mask costs way too much lol Regardless I am looking forward to building this. Even if I cant afford to follow the recipe card for card

Death dealer GOLD FOIL OMG <3

With bullseye bracers back, what does this list look like now?

I started playing fab around a month ago, and after playing with against some heroes and played with others in decks people borrowed me, i have now decided i will play Azalea, her way to playing is so much fun with all the "deck manipulation" her deck is able to do. The list i picked up is not exactly like this, but is close enough, so thank you for all your videos about this amazing Hero :)

Audio levels are super low

Correct me if I didn't follow correctly, but here is what I interpreted as a basic overview of the deck: General guidelines for deck construction 8: 1 cost arrows 12: 0 cost arrows 3: Spire sniping (blue) 8: Generic attacks 9: Utility cards 20: buffs I built a budget version based on your template... thanks! Just looking to try Azalea out at my local armories/in casual games without breaking the bank.

Great recap Levi. These are fascinating. You remember so many details. Inspires improvement no matter which hero you play.

Can confirm good deck. Smashed me day 2 of the calling.

Thank you so much for doing a video like this, and even more so for publishing your deck list with such an amazing matchup guide! That is incredibly helpful for us aspiring players. I think you mentioned being able to ask questions in the discord but I can’t find the discord group to join. Any chance you could post a link or something? Also, do you think Azalea is viable in Blitz? If so do you have any advice as far as game plan differences, what’s in what’s out, etc.? Thanks! 😁

An absolute Gent and a Living Legend🤗 it's amazing to meet someone who practices what they preach and is so genuine💪🏻

Do you ever see a world where using Take Cover as a d-react takes a slot? It seems like a classic Ranger card, but I don't really think I've seen it in any competitive lists....ever?

Literally my favorite content in fab is when Levi speaks about Azalea

Was looking forward to this

Light the way - yellow is pretty good no one is going to block a two attack 😂

Would love to see that deck tech Ryan has for Boltyn, really struggling to make him work even with the new cards so I'd love to see what he has cooking so far. Would also be down to watch him play the deck for a few rounds online!

You can't combine Prayer of B, Spirit of War, and "card you drew with Prayer", you have to charge again with Spirit to gets it's effect.

Really enjoyed this, and Ryan is super knowledgeable. Thanks folks!

Soulbond feels optimized in a combo build

Resounding Courage so good

Few things, beckoning light is amazing because it lets you control helm of sharp eye. The banneret of vigor is really good because at worse it's a ironsong vs activation, can be a sharp eye activation as well as be used for an extender like battlefield blitz. Charge of the light brig is good enough, but just because it doesn't cost. For me Boltyn is best right now as a all 0 cost deck to mitigate the charge because you don't have to pitch. I have 6 cards in my main that cost 1 everything else is 0, with a full swap into saber combo side and the deck has been performing insanely well

I'm feeling a most or all yellow pitch boltyn+vestige deck could be really cool once dtd comes out, with all the yellow dependent cards they're printing

Bro needs to take out easy on that vocal fry.

You guys are way higher on Boltyn cards than I am. Been maining Boltyn for 4 months now. I am not high on most of our new cards. Our attacks are so easy to block with one card when it requires 2-3 cards to play. Depending on the resource cost. The yellow synergy they are pushing makes it even easier to block us. The attack values on our cards don't take the charge mechanic in mind. I really hope I am wrong but Boltyn felt like an after thought in this set. He will still be my main because I love his story.

Thanks for the review guys. I agree Lumina lance is like maybe a one of. I’m having a hard time finding the value of the new majestic 0 for 3 charge cards

On beaming blade, I have had a bit of success on a yellow line beaming blade deck. I'm not dialed in on it, and things feel slightly off, but I have had turns with lumina and no real setup present 16ish damage with minimal effort. So there probably is something.

Funeral moon when you take damage on your opponent's turn to set up a two or three runechant turn can really make it feel like a glue card. It also allows you to hit your opponent with a rubechant on your turn and play at instant speed from your hand or banished to end your turn with a runechant!

I went from 3 reds to red and yellow and I’ve thought about blue for envelop

. i cant really see prayer of bellona. the effect is like a better take flight. but even a 15% miss rate is infinitely more than 0. ireally wish it checked for light cards

You guys have me wanting to give up on Prism and Vynnset and just go back to Boltyn

So pumped for these new boltyn cards! MILB

Awesome vid - thank u - does Ryan have a deck list he’s willing to share the love on ? 👍🏼

More SSGB please!

Kimono will be destroyed before it is useful almost everytime

Has new Prism deck building been discussed anywhere else?

Mage master turn 0 feelsbad... oof

A pleasure to watch! Even tho I couldn't watch this live, I appreciate the VODs! Thanks for the content :)

2/3 of your poppers in one hand 😅 ... In hindsight do you think you should of let the C&C hit?

This looks interesting, but honestly I think I prefer the feel of DD. I am glad SSGB was more or less figured out, I just don’t see myself playing this

Soul Food could be tech against inertia , but that's kinda niche.

The new young Prism cannot be just called "Prism" because she already exists from Monarch. So the new young Prism is called "Prism, Advent of Thrones" and the new adult version is called "Prism, Awakener of Sol". They might have the same effect or not, time will tell. Vynnset doesn't exist yet, so her young version can be without a title.

I love this podcast, Chris and Ryan’s dynamic is awesome.. Keep it up.

If there ends up being a light-heavy build that runs Vestige, it is likely to want Tome of Divinity (and perhaps Halo of Illumination depending on how hard it ends up being to put cards in Soul). I personally loved the pre-Everfest Vestige/Tome builds, so here's hoping we get that combo back!

great vid but deck link doesn't work...
