The competitive FAB world is getting more prepared with every large event. If you're an aspiring pro player or someone who is looking to dip their toes into a ProQuest - we have advice and guidance for groups large and small. There's a lot of little things that go into crafting mutual success, from communication avenues to roles and even KPIs (those are 'key performance indicators' for those who haven't been subjected to the corporate world yet). We address how to find and craft a testing group even if one isn't available locally.

This week, we have the privilege to discuss a massive weekend in FAB. One of the best things about not succeeding are the learnings and introspection it triggers. There are a lot of personal hits and misses, plus some pros and cons as Brendan and Hayden talk about their experiences at the Flesh and Blood World Championships in Barcelona.

Things just got a lot more complicated. Brendan and Hayden talk about the recent break out deck from The Calling Melbourne, Dash I/O. What does this mean for the World's Classic Constructed Meta? Is Dash I/O actually broken or did Tom just run hot on the weekend? Where does Uzuri fit in the wake of the Calling victory?

Brendan and Hayden break down the layers of the metagame surrounding worlds. Learn what we consider as "the Dromai imperative", how to navigate a non-linear metagame and what early choices you can make to succeed in this environment. Hayden will share some of the decks that are lurking on his short list to potential play for worlds. We might even cover how brutes and guardians might get in on the fun.

Dromai came in droves to Dallas and ended up on top. We discuss the top 3 heroes represented in the Dallas metagame and how they might impact the World Championships. Will Katsu and Fai emerge? Will Bravo finally seem good to Brendan? Does Azalea have a window to return alongside Bullseye Bracers? Can Iyslander find a handhold and play the fun police to a potential rebirth of aggressive Dromai counters? We observed (and commented on stream) some of the best this past weekend and we'll share our key takeaways.

Taipei concluded in a flurry of 6 heroes represented in the top 8 with Azalea landing on top. Hayden attended and managed to collect a few great stories and insights. We discuss the Dromai list that Nick Butcher navigated to a 2nd place finish (and Hayden managed a Day 2 with). Stay tuned for our coverage of the deck, the metagame, and the upcoming events as the future of FAB unfolds.
