Evan Herndon has just crossed a HUGE item off his bucket list. As of the completion of PT Yokohama, Evan is a Pro Tour Champion. This was his goal at the outset of his Flesh and Blood career and we're all wondering what he's going to do next (spoiler alert: it isn't Disneyland). In this episode, Bryce tries to uncover what has led to Evan's success and where his forward momentum will take him. 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.

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. In this episode, Bryce attempts to tease out the finer points of TCG team creation from Simon along with the moments in which punctuality has been his biggest enemy.Simon Nielsen Links: X: https://x.com/MrChecklistcardBluesky: https://bsky.app/profile/simonnielsenmtg.bsky.socialYoutube: https://www.youtube.com/@SimonNielsenMTG00:00 Cold Open00:29 Intro02:34 Why Card Games?04:16 Distractions06:09 Stress of Being a Pro09:32 Simon Loves to Teach11:14 Background in Theatre15:49 A Supportive Family18:33 What would make you quit MTG?20:33 Team Armory Origins26:37 How did an MTG Pro Bring FAB Players Together?29:17 Simon's Early Days and their Influence31:18 Small Region Advantage?33:41 How did Everyone Sleep?37:46 Do Leaders Need to Sacrifice their own Needs?40:43 What's the Right Number of Players?42:49 Disseminating and Distilling Information48:08 The Myth of the Team Deck53:27 Still a New(ish) Leader56:39 Personal Disappointments from PT London?58:20 Is it harder to Win a PT in MTG or FAB?01:01:03 Worst Moments in Sleep01:06:07 Plugs and Outro---------------------- 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.

Pablo Pintor has accumulated increasingly impressive results in Flesh and Blood since he won the first ever Pro Tour in 2022. He's anything but a one-hit wonder. Most recently, he found himself in the finals at Calling: Toulouse piloting Arakni, Huntsman of all things. Nevertheless, Pablo remains one of the most humble and approachable people in the game. Even though he's well known in our community, his priorities are family, friends, and (of course) occasional libations.Join Pablo and Bryce as they discuss Pablo's continued wave of success, the people most important to him, and his "Beer Debts." This is one that is sure to leave you just a little bit better than before.
