Merry Christmas everyone!
The past couple of episodes have looked at specific heroes and some advice on how to deal with them. In this week's episode, we decided to take look at some broader strategy advice and discuss the concept of identifying and playing towards (or against!) a particular game plan. We draw on examples from games we've played in tournaments, with a few reaching back into earlier metas in FAB history!
We start by breaking down the types of strategies that you'll tend to play against into some rough categories and give examples of current decks that fall into these categories. We briefly talk about adapting your strategy during a game based on the game state, using some examples from our own experience (contextual factors such as life total, cards you've drawn, what's been pitched, what's left in your deck etc). This is a point we come back to at later stages in the episode also.
The episode then progresses to talking about formulating a game plan for particular matchups, based on identifying what your deck is built around and what your opponent's primary strategy is. We draw on examples from the first Classic Constructed Calling and NZ Nationals to apply the theoretical side to some real life game situations. We stress the importance here of figuring out what your opponent is trying to do during the game in order to avoid falling into a trap where it's too late to adjust.
This is a topic that we both feel is extremely important for taking your gameplay to the next level so we hope y'all find it useful. Let us know what you think!
