Cardboard and Beyond

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.

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.

Majin Bae is near and dear to every Flesh and Blood fan (wizard enjoyer or otherwise) and he has been on a train of resounding success so the name not only inspires love, but also commands respect. Despite his prowess, he remains one of the most humble and approachable people in the game. In this episode, Bryce and Caleb unearth the "why" of what Caleb does, the people that support and encourage him, and spin a quick diss track on Patrick Rothfuss. It's all here and we hope you enjoy it!Majin Bae Links: X: https://x.com/MajiinBaeLoRYoutube: https://www.youtube.com/@MajiinBaePatreon: https://www.patreon.com/Majinbae---------------------- 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.

In this episode of Cardboard and Beyond, we gab with Rebecca Stoddard, the de facto queen of Flesh and Blood cosplay. In the “real” world, Rebecca works in banking. Despite having little love for her job, she recognizes it as the thing that facilitates what she really cares about: seeing the world, her hobbies, and the profoundly meaningful relationships she’s found along the way. Rachel also talks about the impact that cosplay and FAB have had on her life. She even clues us in on a costume that she’s been working on for some time but has yet to reveal.

In the debut episode of Cardboard and Beyond, we sit down with Yuki Lee Bender—an accomplished Flesh and Blood player, dedicated teacher, and lover of all things snowy. We explore her path into card games, how skiing helps her reset, and the analytical mindset she brings to deckbuilding. Bryce and Yuki explore how curiosity, preparation, and discipline allow her to succeed where others are so uncomfortable: a brand new meta. Yuki shares how she embraces the uncertainty that comes with a blank canvas and turns it into an edge.Yuki Lee Bender Links:Twitter: https://x.com/YukiLeeBenderBluesky: https://bsky.app/profile/yukileebender.bsky.socialPatreon: https://www.patreon.com/OntheBaubleOn the Bauble Podcast: ⁨@onthebauble1985⁩
