Hello all! My brother in law recently got me into FaB. We played some of his pre-made blitz starter decks, specifically Boltyn and Levia. I picked up the full set of Tale’s of Aria blitz starter decks.
I’m curious how the game balancing works though. Are different releases balanced against each other? Would young Briar vs young Boltyn be considered “fair”?
Thanks in advance!

For now and a good amount of time in the future the decks will be balanced due to the way they have designed the game. There are checks and balances that allow for different hero's but allow for them to be pretty balanced against each other (provided the hero matchup isn't in one hero's favor outside of precons. Pretty much like prism vs oldhim due to 6 attack cards in oldhim). Flesh and blood takes persons skill into account more than most tcg so there is that to consider.
I have all 7 blitz precons sleeves and with me most places I go that I can teach a person the game or if someone wants to try out a hero. I haven't had any problems with balance between the 7 decks.
They’re pretty balanced sure! No reason not to play those against each other 😊👍
The only balance issue you may run into is playing against a hero with arcane damage when you have no equipment that allows you to block that type of damage. if you can get a full set of nullrune equipment from the Arcane Rising set you're in business.
Well the last game we played I barely scraped out a win. I was playing a precon Briar and he the Boltyn precon. He kept chaining attack recactions, and I kept having to block so I couldn’t set anything up.
Yeah those aggressive decks can definitely feel overwhelming, especially when you’re only working with 20 health. I think if you were to play classic constructed it would be more of an advantage to have access to briars mixed damage types.
There will certainly be power creep eventually, but I'm seeing heroes from every set perform well in local events.
My boltyn played against 2 oldhims and an azalea last Saturday; I won against one of the oldhims and lost against the other two opponents.
