It seemed high time to find a new goal for Evan, so Bryce will touch on that a bit too.Evan Herndon Links: X: https://x.com/emotionyoMetafy: https://metafy.gg/@evanherndon00:00 Cold Open---------------------- 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: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.
