Welcome to another Armchair Quarterback coverage review here on FABREC! Today we&#8217;re looking at the heavy hittin&#8217; action that took place at Calling: Hartford over the weekend. It was the first of two Limited callings scheduled for this month (the upcoming Calling: Liverpool is the second), and what an awesome release weekend for <em>Heavy Hitters<\/em> it turned out to be!<\/p>\n<h1>Welcome to the Arena!<\/h1>\n<div class=\"edhrecp__cards\"><div class=\"edhrecp__card-container\" name=\"Deathmatch Arena\"><\/div><\/div>\n<p>The coverage was provided by the Brutes over at Savage Feats and, once again, the overall quality of the stream was fantastic. The opening round of Day One experienced some slow connection speeds, but those issues were handled quickly.<\/p>\n<p>Due to this being a Limited format event, there were ample amounts of down time while the players were drafting and constructing decks. During those times, we were treated to tips and tricks for <em>Heavy Hitters<\/em> Limited, hero breakdowns, and on Day Two we were even able to watch the recordings of two players from the top Swiss draft pods card by card! (After their draft pods had finished playing, of course, so there were no concerns about competitive integrity.)<\/p>\n<div class=\"edhrecp__cards\"><div class=\"edhrecp__card-container\" name=\"Up the Ante\"><\/div><div class=\"edhrecp__card-container\" name=\"Bet Big\"><\/div><\/div>\n<p>Brodie Spurlock, Michael Feng, and Sam O&#8217;Byrne were brought in as casters, and I am continuously impressed by all of them. It seems that there&#8217;s nothing that Brodie and Michael can&#8217;t do at a professional level, and Sam is one of the best casters in <em>Flesh and Blood<\/em> right now. Full stop.<\/p>\n<p>In other words, great job all around! (Also, special shout out to Hemal Patel from Hammurabi TCG for loaning the players the Marvel heroes to use while on camera. That was a nice touch and I saw comments in the chat all weekend about how good they looked.)<\/p>\n<h2>Let&#8217;s Dive Right Into Some Numbers Now, Shall We?<\/h2>\n<p>A total of 422 players received a sealed pool at the start of the event to build their best deck for the competition. At the end of the first day, 64 players advanced to the Day Two draft portion. Out of the six heroes available <span class=\"edhrecp__link\"><a class=\"edhrecp__link-a\" content=\"Kayo\"href=\"#\" target=\"_blank\">Kayo<\/a><span class=\"edhrecp__link-image\"><\/span><\/span> was far and away the most popular with 169 players choosing to build their pool around him. <span class=\"edhrecp__link\"><a class=\"edhrecp__link-a\" content=\"Kassai\"href=\"#\" target=\"_blank\">Kassai<\/a><span class=\"edhrecp__link-image\"><\/span><\/span> was the next most popular with 126, followed by <span class=\"edhrecp__link\"><a class=\"edhrecp__link-a\" content=\"Betsy\"href=\"#\" target=\"_blank\">Betsy<\/a><span class=\"edhrecp__link-image\"><\/span><\/span> at 62, <span class=\"edhrecp__link\"><a class=\"edhrecp__link-a\" content=\"Olympia\"href=\"#\" target=\"_blank\">Olympia<\/a><span class=\"edhrecp__link-image\"><\/span><\/span> at 39, <span class=\"edhrecp__link\"><a class=\"edhrecp__link-a\" content=\"Victor Goldmane\"href=\"#\" target=\"_blank\">Victor Goldmane<\/a><span class=\"edhrecp__link-image\"><\/span><\/span> with 16, and finally <span class=\"edhrecp__link\"><a class=\"edhrecp__link-a\" content=\"Rhinar\"href=\"#\" target=\"_blank\">Rhinar<\/a><span class=\"edhrecp__link-image\"><\/span><\/span> with only 10.<\/p>\n<div class=\"edhrecp__cards\"><div class=\"edhrecp__card-container\" name=\"Kayo\"><\/div><div class=\"edhrecp__card-container\" name=\"Kassai\"><\/div><div class=\"edhrecp__card-container\" name=\"Betsy\"><\/div><\/div>\n<p>The conversion to Day Two did not favor the players who registered Victor or Rhinar. Not a single pilot of those two heroes survived the eight rounds of Sealed to make the Day One cutoff. Of the 64 players with strong enough records to advance, 33(!) were on Kayo, 18 were Kassai, 8 were playing Betsy, and 5 piloted Olympia.<\/p>\n<div class=\"edhrecp__cards\"><div class=\"edhrecp__card-container\" name=\"Olympia\"><\/div><div class=\"edhrecp__card-container\" name=\"Victor Goldmane\"><\/div><div class=\"edhrecp__card-container\" name=\"Rhinar\"><\/div><\/div>\n<h2>Day One (<em>Heavy Hitters<\/em> Sealed)<\/h2>\n<p>So! This was a Sealed format event. As such, there was not a lot of diversity amongst the game play due to the limited hero\/card pool. Therefore, I&#8217;m not going to break down every round like I would for a constructed event, but we will hit a few highlights from each day and then the Top 8. I&#8217;m going to try to spread the focus around to each of the different heroes, but there was <em>a lot <\/em>of <span class=\"edhrecp__link\"><a class=\"edhrecp__link-a\" content=\"Kayo\"href=\"#\" target=\"_blank\">Kayo<\/a><span class=\"edhrecp__link-image\"><\/span><\/span> on stream. Spoiler alert: Kayo is GOOD.<\/p>\n<p>Welcome to the <em>Planet of the Apes<\/em> everybody.<\/p>\n<div class=\"edhrecp__cards\"><div class=\"edhrecp__card-container\" name=\"Rugged Roller\"><\/div><div class=\"edhrecp__card-container\" name=\"Ready to Roll\"><\/div><\/div>\n<h3>Round One &#8211; Tim Seib (Kassai) vs Tariq Patel (Kayo)<\/h3>\n<p>This round was almost completely lost due to technical difficulties. It cuts off with Tim\/Kassai at 11 life and Tariq\/Kayo at 18 on turn three. After the round ended, we found out that Tariq\/Kayo got the win, but I&#8217;m not certain what the game looked like beyond the first couple of laggy turns. Thankfully the internet issues were resolved before Round Two.<\/p>\n<div class=\"edhrecp__cards\"><div class=\"edhrecp__card-container\" name=\"Bad Beats blue\"><\/div><div class=\"edhrecp__card-container\" name=\"Argh&#8230; Smash!\"><\/div><div class=\"edhrecp__card-container\" name=\"Overcome Adversity\"><\/div><\/div>\n<h3>Round Three &#8211; Michael Hamilton (Olympia) vs Ben Cook (Kassai)<\/h3>\n<p>You would think that the Warrior mirror would primarily involve a lot of weapon swings. And you would be right. But there was also a good number of wagers being made thanks to Michael\/Olympia looking for that Gold token payoff. Ben\/Kassai played very defensively and pushed back with the <span class=\"edhrecp__link\"><a class=\"edhrecp__link-a\" content=\"Cintari Saber\"href=\"#\" target=\"_blank\">Cintari Saber<\/a><span class=\"edhrecp__link-image\"><\/span><\/span> when he could, but Olympia was able to consistently keep the pressure on. Eventually, a <span class=\"edhrecp__link\"><a class=\"edhrecp__link-a\" content=\"Trade In red\"href=\"#\" target=\"_blank\">Trade In<\/a><span class=\"edhrecp__link-image\"><\/span><\/span> went over Ben&#8217;s last blocking card by one point and closed it out in the former World Champ&#8217;s favor.<\/p>\n<div class=\"edhrecp__cards\"><div class=\"edhrecp__card-container\" name=\"Money Where Ya Mouth Is red\"><\/div><div class=\"edhrecp__card-container\" name=\"Cintari Saber\"><\/div><div class=\"edhrecp__card-container\" name=\"Wage Vigor yellow\"><\/div><\/div>\n<h3>Round Four &#8211; Elly Bird (Betsy) vs Randall Sims (Rhinar)<\/h3>\n<p>I have to admit to a little bias here. Randall is a local at my LGS (near Atlanta), and a great guy in general, so I was really pulling for a Rhinar win this round. Elly\/Betsy had other ideas in mind, though. Elly started the game by popping two pieces of equipment and sandbagging a <span class=\"edhrecp__link\"><a class=\"edhrecp__link-a\" content=\"Primed to Fight\"href=\"#\" target=\"_blank\">Primed to Fight<\/a><span class=\"edhrecp__link-image\"><\/span><\/span> for their second turn. Randall took a point of damage from <span class=\"edhrecp__link\"><a class=\"edhrecp__link-a\" content=\"Miller&#8217;s Grindstone\"href=\"#\" target=\"_blank\">Miller&#8217;s Grindstone<\/a><span class=\"edhrecp__link-image\"><\/span><\/span> on turn 0, possibly thinking that he would win the clash, but missed and lost a card from deck.<\/p>\n<div class=\"edhrecp__cards\"><div class=\"edhrecp__card-container\" name=\"Primed to Fight\"><\/div><div class=\"edhrecp__card-container\" name=\"Wage Might red\"><\/div><div class=\"edhrecp__card-container\" name=\"Pack Hunt red\"><\/div><\/div>\n<p>Elly took some damage on their turn to send what should have been 15 with overpower back, but both players missed a point while calculating the buffs. The one point didn&#8217;t make a difference as Betsy kept the bombs running and huge hits were thrown back and forth by both players. Elly\/Betsy eventually outslugged FAB&#8217;s original Brute and claimed victory with another overpowered attack. Overall, this was a great game to watch and really showcased what the newest set is all about.<\/p>\n<h2>Day Two (<em>Heavy Hitters<\/em> Draft)<\/h2>\n<h3>Round Nine &#8211; Yuanji Li (Kassai) vs Corey F-R. (Kayo)<\/h3>\n<p>These two players were the only ones left in the event with an undefeated record going into Day Two. At the start of the next draft (after this pod was finished), we got to see Yuanji&#8217;s draft process card by card. Yuanji\/Kassai started the game and immediately passed priority. Corey\/Kayo opted to discard an <span class=\"edhrecp__link\"><a class=\"edhrecp__link-a\" content=\"Agile Windup yellow\"href=\"#\" target=\"_blank\">Agile Windup<\/a><span class=\"edhrecp__link-image\"><\/span><\/span> before the end step, but because Yuanji still had an action point, he was able to send a <span class=\"edhrecp__link\"><a class=\"edhrecp__link-a\" content=\"Wage Gold red\"href=\"#\" target=\"_blank\">Wage Gold<\/a><span class=\"edhrecp__link-image\"><\/span><\/span> across before ending the turn to take the rest of the cards from Corey&#8217;s hand. (And out of his deck.)<\/p>\n<div class=\"edhrecp__cards\"><div class=\"edhrecp__card-container\" name=\"Raw Meat\"><\/div><div class=\"edhrecp__card-container\" name=\"Adrenaline Rush red\"><\/div><div class=\"edhrecp__card-container\" name=\"Assault and Battery red\"><\/div><\/div>\n<p>Both players showed extremely clean gameplay and we got to see both heroes shine in this short exchange. (The game only lasted four turns total!) However, Kayo&#8217;s consistent <span class=\"edhrecp__link\"><a class=\"edhrecp__link-a\" content=\"Agility\"href=\"#\" target=\"_blank\">Agility<\/a><span class=\"edhrecp__link-image\"><\/span><\/span> tokens and stream of heavy hits eventually earned Corey the honor of being the only undefeated player left in the tournament.<\/p>\n<h3>Round Eleven &#8211; Elly Bird (Kayo) vs Michael Hamilton (Olympia)<\/h3>\n<p>In Round Eleven, we saw the former World Champ Michael Hamilton on Olympia facing off against Elly Bird on Kayo. These players were competing for the coveted 3-0 in the draft pod. Elly managed to put together a powerful defense package with <span class=\"edhrecp__link\"><a class=\"edhrecp__link-a\" content=\"No Fear\"href=\"#\" target=\"_blank\">No Fear<\/a><span class=\"edhrecp__link-image\"><\/span><\/span> and a handful of six-power attacks to stop a <span class=\"edhrecp__link\"><a class=\"edhrecp__link-a\" content=\"Wage Agility\"href=\"#\" target=\"_blank\">Wage Agility red<\/a><span class=\"edhrecp__link-image\"><\/span><\/span> from Michael.<\/p>\n<div class=\"edhrecp__cards\"><div class=\"edhrecp__card-container\" name=\"Wage Agility red\"><\/div><div class=\"edhrecp__card-container\" name=\"Clash of Agility yellow\"><\/div><div class=\"edhrecp__card-container\" name=\"Assault and Battery blue\"><\/div><\/div>\n<p>This game went longer than a lot of the others that we saw in the event and proved that good math is still good math. Elly\/Kayo eventually managed to close it out against Olympia with their Guardian cosplay and a pumped-up <span class=\"edhrecp__link\"><a class=\"edhrecp__link-a\" content=\"Assault and Battery blue\"href=\"#\" target=\"_blank\">Assault and Battery<\/a><span class=\"edhrecp__link-image\"><\/span><\/span>. Go watch this game if you want a master class on what these heroes can do.<\/p>\n<h2>Top 8 Cut (<em>Heavy Hitters<\/em> Draft)<\/h2>\n<p>All six of the available heroes had a representative in the Top 8 Draft. In total, there were two <span class=\"edhrecp__link\"><a class=\"edhrecp__link-a\" content=\"Kassai\"href=\"#\" target=\"_blank\">Kassai<\/a><span class=\"edhrecp__link-image\"><\/span><\/span>, two <span class=\"edhrecp__link\"><a class=\"edhrecp__link-a\" content=\"Betsy\"href=\"#\" target=\"_blank\">Betsy<\/a><span class=\"edhrecp__link-image\"><\/span><\/span>, and one each of <span class=\"edhrecp__link\"><a class=\"edhrecp__link-a\" content=\"Victor Goldmane\"href=\"#\" target=\"_blank\">Victor Goldmane<\/a><span class=\"edhrecp__link-image\"><\/span><\/span>, <span class=\"edhrecp__link\"><a class=\"edhrecp__link-a\" content=\"Kayo\"href=\"#\" target=\"_blank\">Kayo<\/a><span class=\"edhrecp__link-image\"><\/span><\/span>, <span class=\"edhrecp__link\"><a class=\"edhrecp__link-a\" content=\"Olympia\"href=\"#\" target=\"_blank\">Olympia<\/a><span class=\"edhrecp__link-image\"><\/span><\/span>, and <span class=\"edhrecp__link\"><a class=\"edhrecp__link-a\" content=\"Rhinar\"href=\"#\" target=\"_blank\">Rhinar<\/a><span class=\"edhrecp__link-image\"><\/span><\/span> competing in the elimination rounds.<\/p>\n<h3>Quarterfinals &#8211; Mark Morrison (Kayo) vs Yuanji Li (Victor Goldmane)<\/h3>\n<p>Yuanji Li managed to come back from the loss in Round Nine to finish the Swiss portion of the event in 1<sup>st<\/sup> place. This time around though, he found himself in a Guardian seat and drafted Victor Goldmane. He was up against the 8<sup>th<\/sup> seed, Mark, who was one of only two Brutes in the pod. Considering how strong Brutes are in the set, Mark had a very powerful deck and Victor couldn&#8217;t stave off the constant barrage, despite Yuanji&#8217;s best efforts.<\/p>\n<p>Mark Unga&#8217;d and he Bunga&#8217;d, then he moved on to the next round.<\/p>\n<div class=\"edhrecp__cards\"><div class=\"edhrecp__card-container\" name=\"Colossal Bearing red\"><\/div><div class=\"edhrecp__card-container\" name=\"Lead with Power red\"><\/div><div class=\"edhrecp__card-container\" name=\"Knucklehead\"><\/div><\/div>\n<h3>Semifinals &#8211; Cody Williams (Kassai) vs Alex Vore (Rhinar)<\/h3>\n<p>Alex\/Rhinar started the game off with a drink, tossing in a <span class=\"edhrecp__link\"><a class=\"edhrecp__link-a\" content=\"Smashback Alehorn\"href=\"#\" target=\"_blank\">Smashback Alehorn<\/a><span class=\"edhrecp__link-image\"><\/span><\/span> to set up tokens for his first five-card hand. Cody\/Kassai found an all-red hand to start things off, only managing to <span class=\"edhrecp__link\"><a class=\"edhrecp__link-a\" content=\"Draw Swords red\"href=\"#\" target=\"_blank\">Draw Swords<\/a><span class=\"edhrecp__link-image\"><\/span><\/span> into a swing with <span class=\"edhrecp__link\"><a class=\"edhrecp__link-a\" content=\"Hot Streak\"href=\"#\" target=\"_blank\">Hot Streak<\/a><span class=\"edhrecp__link-image\"><\/span><\/span> for his opening sequence. Alex blocked with his <span class=\"edhrecp__link\"><a class=\"edhrecp__link-a\" content=\"Raw Meat\"href=\"#\" target=\"_blank\">Raw Meat<\/a><span class=\"edhrecp__link-image\"><\/span><\/span> and kept his hand to throw everything and the kitchen sink on his turn. Despite the slow start, Cody managed to push back into the game with consistent weapon pressure and his own Agility tokens. Eventually, he had his own massive turn with a <span class=\"edhrecp__link\"><a class=\"edhrecp__link-a\" content=\"Vigorous Engagement red\"href=\"#\" target=\"_blank\">Vigorous Engagement<\/a><span class=\"edhrecp__link-image\"><\/span><\/span> on a <span class=\"edhrecp__link\"><a class=\"edhrecp__link-a\" content=\"Wage Gold red\"href=\"#\" target=\"_blank\">Wage Gold<\/a><span class=\"edhrecp__link-image\"><\/span><\/span> to go over blocks and close it out.<\/p>\n<div class=\"edhrecp__cards\"><div class=\"edhrecp__card-container\" name=\"Smashback Alehorn\"><\/div><div class=\"edhrecp__card-container\" name=\"Slap-Happy red\"><\/div><div class=\"edhrecp__card-container\" name=\"Wage Gold red\"><\/div><\/div>\n<h3>Finals &#8211; Cody Willams (Kassai) vs Mark Morrison (Kayo)<\/h3>\n<p>To quote the famous Jim Ross of WWE fame: &#8220;What a slobberknocker of a match!!&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>It looked like Cody\/Kassai had things well in hand in the beginning stages, but then Mark\/Kayo just hit a critical mass of powerful attacks, and the hits just kept on coming. A <span class=\"edhrecp__link\"><a class=\"edhrecp__link-a\" content=\"Bare Fangs red\"href=\"#\" target=\"_blank\">Bare Fangs<\/a><span class=\"edhrecp__link-image\"><\/span><\/span> for 12 with go again on turn three was the turning point for the one-armed Brute. Cody managed to trade hits with Mark enough to get both players under five life, but Mark was able to block with a non-attack on Cody&#8217;s final desperate swing. He kept just enough cards to crack back with yet another buffed Bare Fangs and secured the title of Calling champion with Kayo!<\/p>\n<div class=\"edhrecp__cards\"><div class=\"edhrecp__card-container\" name=\"Rising Speed red\"><\/div><div class=\"edhrecp__card-container\" name=\"Cast Bones\"><\/div><div class=\"edhrecp__card-container\" name=\"Bonebreaker Bellow red\"><\/div><\/div>\n<h2>Final Thoughts<\/h2>\n<p>I think it&#8217;s safe to say that <em>Heavy Hitters<\/em> is going to go down as one of <em>Flesh and Blood<\/em>&#8216;s biggest hits as far as the Limited format goes. Every game had a good amount of interaction and almost always came down to both players fighting to get the last hit in. As viewers, it really feels like we&#8217;re watching fights in the Deathmatch Arena, complete with all the wild swings you&#8217;d expect from gladiatorial combat. Epic win, LSS.<\/p>\n<p>Congratulations to everyone who made it to the Top 8, but especially to the champion of Calling: Hartford, Mark Morrison. Well done and well deserved!<\/p>\n<p>What was your favorite moment from the coverage of Calling: Hartford? Have you had a chance to try out <em>Heavy Hitters<\/em> limited yet?
