Why FABtastic exists
A single decklist shows what one player registered. Hundreds of lists reveal a metagame, but finding the signal inside them takes time. FABtastic turns publicly available tournament decklists into browsable evidence about heroes, cards, and deck construction.
The goal: help you move from a metagame question to useful evidence in a few clicks.
What you can explore
Use the same underlying decklists at different levels, from a whole format down to a single card choice.
-
Compare formats
See which heroes appear most often in Classic Constructed, Silver Age, and Living Legend.
-
Study a hero
Inspect card inclusion, deck count, average copies, synergy, pitch, type, and cost distributions.
-
Test the metagame
Change the period or require and exclude specific cards to recalculate the visible sample.
-
Build a starting point
Copy an observed average deck, export it to FaBrary, and adapt it to your own plan.
How the data works
- CollectImport published tournament decklists inside the active two-year dataset window.
- NormalizeResolve hero names, card variants, formats, and verified legalities into consistent records.
- AggregateCalculate hero and card statistics for every format, hero, source, and time range.
- RecalculateApply the selected period and card filters to the matching deck sample in the browser.
How to read the numbers
- Decks
- The number of decklists in the active hero, period, source, and card-filter sample.
- Inclusion
- The percentage of sampled hero decks containing a card at least once.
- Avg. copies
- Total observed copies divided by every deck in the selected hero sample.
- Synergy
- Hero inclusion minus format-wide inclusion. Positive values identify cards that are more characteristic of that hero.
- Average deck
- A generated summary of observed card choices that respects format structure and verified legalities.
Popularity is not win rate, synergy is not card strength, and an average deck is a starting point—not an official recommendation.
Sources and limitations
Published tournament decklists come from the Legend Story Studios Decklists Archive. Hero format membership is audited against FaBrary, while hero profiles, card identities, images, and legalities are enriched from official Flesh and Blood services and Card Vault. FaBrary is also the destination for average-deck exports.
Published results are a sample, not a complete record of every game or deck played. Event coverage, reporting dates, small samples, and recent legality changes can all affect what appears. FABtastic shows the evidence in the dataset and labels low or stale samples so you can judge it in context.
Built for the community
FABtastic is free to use, independently maintained, and built to make tournament information more useful to Flesh and Blood players. Hosting, data refreshes, and continued development all take time.
