    Ep:8 Assembling the FAB Avengers with Simon Nielsen | Cardboard and Beyond A Flesh and Blood Podcast

    Simon Nielsen is one of the most renowned players in card games. Right now, his laurels mainly reside in Magic: The Gathering, but that hasn't stopped him from making a meaningful mark on Flesh and Blood. Simon is one of the founding members (and first captain) of what is now known as Team Super Armory. All members of the super team have commended Simon for his leadership during their first season together, which culminated in Pablo Pintor winning Pro Tour London. In this episode, Bryce attempts to tease out the finer points of TCG team creation from Simon along with the moments in which punctuality has been his biggest enemy.Simon Nielsen Links: X: https://x.com/MrChecklistcardBluesky: https://bsky.app/profile/simonnielsenmtg.bsky.socialYoutube: https://www.youtube.com/@SimonNielsenMTG00:00 Cold Open00:29 Intro02:34 Why Card Games?04:16 Distractions06:09 Stress of Being a Pro09:32 Simon Loves to Teach11:14 Background in Theatre15:49 A Supportive Family18:33 What would make you quit MTG?20:33 Team Armory Origins26:37 How did an MTG Pro Bring FAB Players Together?29:17 Simon's Early Days and their Influence31:18 Small Region Advantage?33:41 How did Everyone Sleep?37:46 Do Leaders Need to Sacrifice their own Needs?40:43 What's the Right Number of Players?42:49 Disseminating and Distilling Information48:08 The Myth of the Team Deck53:27 Still a New(ish) Leader56:39 Personal Disappointments from PT London?58:20 Is it harder to Win a PT in MTG or FAB?01:01:03 Worst Moments in Sleep01:06:07 Plugs and Outro---------------------- Join Bryce Platz from Arcane Games and Events as he sits down for intimate conversations with the biggest names in the world of the Flesh and Blood Trading Card Game.

    Ep:7 Rich in Cards, Rich in Friends with Pablo Pintor | Cardboard and Beyond: A Flesh and Blood Podcast

    Pablo Pintor has accumulated increasingly impressive results in Flesh and Blood since he won the first ever Pro Tour in 2022. He's anything but a one-hit wonder. Most recently, he found himself in the finals at Calling: Toulouse piloting Arakni, Huntsman of all things. Nevertheless, Pablo remains one of the most humble and approachable people in the game. Even though he's well known in our community, his priorities are family, friends, and (of course) occasional libations.Join Pablo and Bryce as they discuss Pablo's continued wave of success, the people most important to him, and his "Beer Debts."

    Majin Bae is near and dear to every Flesh and Blood fan (wizard enjoyer or otherwise) and he has been on a train of resounding success so the name not only inspires love, but also commands respect. Despite his prowess, he remains one of the most humble and approachable people in the game.

    Ep4: All-In on Flesh and Blood with Jacob Clements

    It's been a while, but Bryce is back on his podcast beat. This episode, he looked to Jacob Clements (one of FAB's 2025 All-Stars and member of Team Super Armory) to weigh in on the addition of LL into the '25 World Championships. Besides his deep knowledge and love of FAB, there's a lot to love about Jacob. He's got a self-deprecating humor about him, he's got opinions about pretty much everything, and he would insist that you're all his friends (you may just not know it yet).Jacob made us feel nothing but excitement about the main event of the 6th year of FAB. We hope it serves as the perfect thing to whet your appetite for Philadelphia as well.

    Ep3: Cosplay for the Soul with Max Ferocity | Cardboard and Beyond | Flesh and Blood

    In this episode of Cardboard and Beyond, we gab with Rebecca Stoddard, the de facto queen of Flesh and Blood cosplay. In the “real” world, Rebecca works in banking. Despite having little love for her job, she recognizes it as the thing that facilitates what she really cares about: seeing the world, her hobbies, and the profoundly meaningful relationships she’s found along the way. Rachel also talks about the impact that cosplay and FAB have had on her life. She even clues us in on a costume that she’s been working on for some time but has yet to reveal.

With a background in computer science, a strategic mind sharpened by the game of Go, and a love for street art, Joshua brings a unique lens to the world of Flesh and Blood. We explore his journey into games, his carefully curated “boring” social media presence, and how all of it informs the way he approaches the rules that shape the game.Bryce and Joshua dive into the philosophy of policy, unpack some of the most notable rules updates in recent months, and even run through a live proofing session—where Joshua puts fictional card designs through the rigorous lens of the game’s framework.It’s a thoughtful look at the person behind the policy—and the principles that keep Flesh and Blood running smoothly.Joshua Scott Links:Bluesky: https://bsky.app/profile/jjscott.nz
