Welcome to Precon Progression<\/em>, where we take Flesh and Blood<\/em>‘s preconstructed deck lists and discuss upgrades to further bolster the decks.<\/p>\n

This week we look at the lady who seeks neither fame nor glory, just the thrill of the Deathmatch Arena – and maybe some coin and booze to top off the rush of the battle. It’s the ever-lovable wrecking ball, Betsy<\/a><\/span><\/span>.<\/p>\n

What’s in the Betsy Blitz Precon Deck?<\/h2>\n

This Guardian hedges her bets on the Wager mechanic to pump up her attacks and give them Overpower. Thus, we should focus on this keyword to generate more Gold<\/a><\/span><\/span> and Vigor<\/a><\/span><\/span> tokens for a snowball effect.<\/p>\n

<\/td><\/td><\/td><\/tr>
<\/td><\/td><\/td><\/tr><\/table><\/td><\/tr><\/table><\/div><\/div>\n

Big Bop<\/a><\/span><\/span> and Bigger than Big<\/a><\/span><\/span> aren’t bad per se, but they block for two, which are major red flags for any Guardian deck. Even blue pitches, such as Pint of Strong and Stout<\/a><\/span><\/span> and Stacked in Your Favor<\/a><\/span><\/span> also suffer from the same drawbacks. We need to have efficient blocks, even on a lower budget.<\/p>\n

Power Cards<\/h2>\n
<\/div>
<\/div>
<\/div><\/div>\n

There are some great inclusions in the precon, with hits such as Wage Gold<\/a><\/span><\/span> and Wage Vigor<\/a><\/span><\/span>, plus Money Where Ya Mouth Is<\/a><\/span><\/span>, which all form the Wager core.<\/p>\n

<\/div>
<\/div>
<\/div><\/div>\n

Over the Top red<\/a><\/span><\/span> and blue, plus Concuss<\/a><\/span><\/span> both complement Betsy’s own game plan. Meanwhile, Command Respect<\/a><\/span><\/span> is honestly a sleeper common from Heavy Hitters<\/em>, as it’s a low-rarity way to deal with the opponent’s arsenal.<\/p>\n

<\/div><\/div>\n

However, the lynchpin to the deck is Good Time Chapeau<\/a><\/span><\/span>, Betsy’s headpiece, as it allows her to convert Gold<\/a><\/span><\/span> into additional Wager triggers, and thus, allows any attack action to gain Overpower via Betsy’s ability.<\/p>\n

Initial Upgrades for Betsy<\/h2>\n
<\/div><\/div>\n

Despite its rarity, Bet Big<\/a><\/span><\/span> is the core upgrade piece for Betsy<\/a><\/span><\/span>, as it’s a huge attack that also Wagers at the same time. Together with her ability, we only need to pitch exactly two blues to pull off the whole stunt.<\/p>\n

<\/div>
<\/div>
<\/div><\/div>\n

As we acknowledged the lack of defensive options in the precon, we should include Flesh and Blood<\/em> favorites such as Fate Foreseen<\/a><\/span><\/span> and Sink Below<\/a><\/span><\/span>. Unmovable<\/a><\/span><\/span> and Staunch Response red<\/a><\/span><\/span> and blue likewise join the ranks to bolster our fort.<\/p>\n

<\/div><\/div>\n

An interesting addition is Thump<\/a><\/span><\/span>, which gains Dominate alongside Overpower, all while threatening a discard. Again, this can be triggered by utilizing Good Time Chapeau<\/a><\/span><\/span>.<\/p>\n

<\/div>
<\/div>
<\/div><\/div>\n

Buckling Blow red<\/a><\/span><\/span> and blue, plus Debilitate red<\/a><\/span><\/span> and blue round out the attack suite, all while providing three block and increasing the deck’s blue card density. Pummel<\/a><\/span><\/span> is always fit for discussion whenever heavy-hitting cards are discussed. We would be remiss not to include even a copy.<\/p>\n

<\/div>
<\/div>
<\/div><\/div>\n

The equipment suite needs an overhaul, but low-rarity substitutes exist. Anothos<\/a><\/span><\/span> is our default mainhand, while Titan’s Fist<\/a><\/span><\/span> and Steelbraid Buckler<\/a><\/span><\/span> are our go-to mainhand and off-hand combo. Blossom of Spring<\/a><\/span><\/span>, Goliath Gauntlet<\/a><\/span><\/span>, and Ironrot Legs<\/a><\/span><\/span> round out our loadout.<\/p>\n

<\/div>
<\/div>
<\/div><\/div>\n

Nullrune Boots<\/a><\/span><\/span> and Nullrune Robe<\/a><\/span><\/span> are our old reliables for Arcane Barrier, while Arcane Lantern<\/a><\/span><\/span> is amazing for any hero who can utilize an off-hand.<\/p>\n

This is what the deck looks like after the initial upgrades:<\/p>\n

Mid-Term Upgrades<\/h2>\n
<\/div><\/div>\n

Double Down<\/a><\/span><\/span> should be one of the first purchases, as it enables Wager synergy.<\/p>\n

<\/div>
<\/div>
<\/div><\/div>\n

Then, we should next focus on forming the disruptive core of the Guardian class. Buckle<\/a><\/span><\/span> and Mangle<\/a><\/span><\/span> go hand-in-hand, while Cranial Crush<\/a><\/span><\/span>, Pulverize<\/a><\/span><\/span>, and Spinal Crush<\/a><\/span><\/span> are just efficient beatsticks which also hinder the opponent’s plans.<\/p>\n

<\/div>
<\/div><\/div>\n

Tear Asunder<\/a><\/span><\/span> and Zealous Belting<\/a><\/span><\/span> are great pickups, and while the latter is cheap enough as a low-tier upgrade, we need high-powered attacks to fully utilize the tempo boost it provides.<\/p>\n

<\/div>
<\/div><\/div>\n

Crater Fist<\/a><\/span><\/span> and Earthlore Bounty<\/a><\/span><\/span> are cheap equipment that may be purchased – these are just usually used to block, and nothing more. If not looking to splurge more, these are great stopping points.<\/p>\n

Long-Term Upgrades<\/h2>\n

The Guardian core is pretty much concentrated on mid-budget cards, while the equipment serve as the final pieces of the puzzle.<\/p>\n

<\/div>
<\/div>
<\/div><\/div>\n

Gauntlets of Iron Will<\/a><\/span><\/span> and Tectonic Plating<\/a><\/span><\/span> are the gold standard for the class, while Civic Steps<\/a><\/span><\/span>, despite its rarity, is only obtainable from the sealed TCC x LSS Ultimate Pit Fight<\/a> product.<\/p>\n

<\/div><\/div>\n

Rampart of the Ram’s Head<\/a><\/span><\/span> is a long-term consideration and is a definite investment should we wish to fully stick around with Guardians through thick and thin.<\/p>\n

Our next instalment continues the Heavy Hitters<\/em> coverage with Kayo<\/a><\/span><\/span>, then wraps up with another look at Olympia<\/a><\/span><\/span>.<\/p>\n

Till next time, happy shuffling!<\/p>\n
