L2P(Learn to Play) 프로그램에 오신 것을 환영합니다! (파트 2)

One of the most fulfilling parts of Flesh and Blood is building a deck. It allows players to customize their strategy and experiment with different heroes and card combinations. While new players may not be ready to jump into competitive deckbuilding right away, it’s important to help them understand how to start their journey of fun and satisfaction with the game.

After a successful experience, your player will have a tremendous number of questions. These concepts form the backbone of important concepts to share with your player after gameplay, but you should always be led by their questions.

Important Deckbuilding Concepts:

• What equipment is, and how that affects gameplay. A player from the First Strike decks should have this exposure.  
• The concept of arcane damage, and the differences in how that interacts with your hand’s resources and your equipment suite.  A player from the First Strike decks should have this exposure.
• The breadth of the class system, and the diversity of playstyles that it supports.
• The nature of the talent system, and how it provides variation atop the class system.
• The constructed formats of the game, blitz and classic constructed, and how equipment cards join with deck cards to create a card pool.
• The limited formats of the game, sealed and draft.
• The game’s additional formats, like commoner, UPF, and Living Legend
• The non-rotating nature of the cardpool, and the Living Legend point system
• The levels of competitive play, from armory and skirmish, to ProQuest and Road to Nationals, and beyond to the Tier 3+ events.

These concepts are intertwined; there’s no single correct way to explain them all at one time. Here are a few guidelines for how to navigate the post-gameplay experience with a player.

Tips for Teaching Deckbuilding:

• Use the player’s experiences and preferences to pick example classes and talents, describing some popular play patterns including win conditions, pitch and block preferences, and perhaps mention some powerful cards.
• Use simple examples, like First Strike decks, to show how heroes and their cards create synergy.
• Encourage players to experiment with different combinations, but remind them that practice and experience will help them refine their deck-building skills. Emphasize how open ended deck building is and how diverse top finishes are, at even the highest stake events.
• Mention there is no rotation in the game and how a player’s collection keeps relevance. Explain the cool concept of Living Legends and the fact that every player in the world can influence the fate of their hero through events organized locally.
• Use First Strike decks, Blitz deck collections, and Armory decks, to demonstrate how the low-cost products support different player goals (e.g. small group fun vs. competitive preparation), and what are the strong points of each.  This is especially effective if the player indicates they don’t enjoy deckbuilding!
• If a player is struggling to describe their own tastes and preferences with deckbuilding, you can use your own experience to illuminate what has excited you about different classes, heroes, and formats.

In Part 3, we’ll dive into collaboration skills. This section will cover how to communicate effectively with both players and fellow judges, how to mentor others, and how to contribute to an environment where everyone can learn and grow together. Keep reading!
