When you’re part of the community, picking up new strategies is much easier and gives you the edge over your opponents more often than not. Introducing weekly Faeria Community Highlights: a series that will showcase noteworthy community contributions you don’t want to miss. You can look forward to seeing wacky decks, fanart, and competitive streams with this series!

We’re kicking things off with one of the most notable streamers in the Faeria scene, Cappuccino. In the first major tournament called Go Faeria Clash, the game commentators actually used Cappuccino’s insights to optimize their commentary. We discussed Faeria with him today and where he thinks the future of the game lies. Without further ado, let’s begin!

Well, thanks for taking the time out to speak with us! Could we kick things off with a short introduction from you talking about what you do?

Cappuccino: Hello! Thanks for inviting me to be your guest. I’m Isaac B, also known as Cappuccino from my stream ItsCappuccino on twitch. I am a regular streamer for Faeria now and work as a house caretaker for a part time job.

What do you think Abrakam Games has brewing for the future of Faeria?

I’m excited for the potential they have with new card types. This is only the base set so we can expect a lot of cool things to surface in the future, though I think that’s a while out. Something like Pandora is what we should have our sights on.

What are your thoughts on the most recent patch? After the patch, what’s your new favorite deck?

Overall, I think the changes were quite good. I think green needed the Oakling nerf and Madga was far too powerful in combo with Feed the Forest. The blue-red splash is also a lot less efficient after the changes but still strong because green is less dominant being one of its harder matchups. Another thing to consider is with aggro green and red/blue splash less dominant, mono blue is a very strong deck due to its counter decks weakened. Finally touching on yellow, it was very strong pre-patch and is only stronger now, especially with other colors being nerfed. Yellow is both my favourite and most powerful deck (Yellow Rush specifically).

It was just announced that Pandora mode and Premium Cards won’t be making it to the game in April. What are your thoughts on the upcoming mode and the delay?

I think with random cards, Faeria wells will be very valuable and might make really long games with the current set, also I think that green cards are generally the highest value for the format. This is my prediction whilst we wait, but I can’t really be sure.

What’s your advice for anyone who plans to get into competitive Faeria? Abrakam Entertainment recently announced a $100,000 commitment to eSports this year and that’s a surefire way to attract a plethora of new players to the scene.

Find players you can talk with and play with to help speed up your progression, it makes a big difference going over cards with a friend. Also I recommend trying out all the deck types you can: it really increases your knowledge and helps you gain the cutting edge against your foes.

Thank you for talking the time out to speak with us! I’m sure I speak for the entire Faeria community when I say that we’re looking forward to seeing you compete soon.

Thanks again for having me – Cappu signing out for 5pm nap.

That’s it for this week! If you’d like to follow Cappuccino’s advice and start building decks with friends, head on over to the Faeria Discord Channel. You might even bump into some pros while you’re there as well!
