This week we take time to pick some fights with each other and discuss the aggro archetype and how Flesh and Blood flips our preconceived notions of the concept. FYI; this episode was recorded in early November and originally slated for release around Thanksgiving. This makes the episode sound a little wonky and out of date when we discuss recent going-on's in the wide-world of Flesh and Blood.

We're pleased to have Anthony Pham on our show to talk about some of our favorites heroes in the game, and how the community tends to interface with poor-performing heroes! We were really enjoying our conversation with Anthony, and we wanted to give him a big spotlight so we decided to release this episode longer than our normal episodes (after all, this isn't a normal episode!). Anthony Pham is known for being a manager at Kingslayer Games in Southern California, as well as taking the crown as ...

Look alive people! Or not, really whatever you prefer. This episode we flex our designer muscles to create a brand-new class for Flesh and Blood: the Necromancer. In each of our pitches, our hosts will present their unique take on what mechanics the Necromancer could have along with some card designs. Then, in lieu of our Arsenal Zone, we will instead have our first ever Inventory where we will meld our different ideas together.

You know 'em, you love to hate them, you hate to love them; it's generics! That's right, this week's episode is all about Generics and the multitude of roles they play in our Flesh and Blood games. Though we don't cover everything about these versatile buggers, we do go in-depth on how they act as a power floor, how they fill out archetypes shared across classes, and how they can act as universal answers as hate cards.
