- How did you know FoW and how long are you playing it?
I've been playing FoW for around 2 months. I was introduced by my friend, Connor. He told me the scene was pretty big in our area so I gave it a shot and I really liked it.
- Have you already played other TCGs?
I've played practically all of them. Hearthstone, Pokemon, Yugioh, Naruto, Dragonball Z, Kaijudo, Duel Masters, MtG, and more.
- What do you particularly like in FoW?
I like that it mixes my favorite parts of all my favorite card games into one.
- Which deck did you play and why you brought to this event?
I brought an Aggro Red/White Grimm to this event. It was working really well at locals so I thought I'd give it a shot at the ARG.
- Any tips about how to play this deck? Tricks?
Mulligan for a good curve. If you have a 1 and a 2 drop in your starting hand, it is more than likely right to even keep a three drop. If you dont have any 1 drop resonators in your hand, i strongly suggest mulliganing pretty hard
Another tip is to always play around the Fiethsing resonator when attacking, when you attack with a 500 attacker and they drop fiethsing they can just block and kill your attacker for free while also getting a 500/700 body. It is important to play around this card because it can ruin your gameplan if you get surprised by it.
- Tips for the new players?
Start off with a cheap deck to see if you like the game. I recommend some sort of deck using only basic stones. Maybe Bahamut Burn, Wererabbits or even Yellow Brick Road.
- The next event to which do you plan to attend?
The next event to which do you plan to attend? Maybe ARG Syracuse NY, Definitely Rhode Island Regionals!

- How did you know FoW and how long are you playing it?
I found out about FoW from several of my friends in the Yu-gi-oh community. Then my LGS got some of the starter decks and MPR boxes in stock and I decided to dive in. I've been playing for almost 2 months now
- What do you particularly like in FoW?
- The thing I like the most about force of will is the interaction between players. Alot of other games are straying away from that and it's really enjoyable
- Which deck did you play and why you brought to this event?
played Dark Pandora Turbo in hopes to counter the many Abdul decks I expected to see. The deck did great
- Any tips about how to play this deck? Tricks?
Always muligan for ramp, turn 1 priest into turn 2 gretel or fiethsing.
- Tips for the new players?
New players, come to the events! Whether it be your LGS or an organized event, the community is very friendly and welcoming, and many people will donate cards to get you started
- The next event to which do you plan to attend?
- Next event I'm attending is ARG Syracuse on June 21st.

- Come hai conosciuto FoW e da quanto tempo lo giochi?
Lo sto giocando da circa un mese e ho cominciato grazie ad un amico.
- Avevi già giocato ad altri TCG in passato?
Per la maggior parte YugiOh! e Kaijudo
- Quale deck hai giocato a questo evento e perché hai deciso di portarlo?
Ho giocato Abdul perché penso sia il miglior mazzo possibile ah ah! Ha counter per qualsiasi cosa.
- Suggerimenti per giocarlo al meglio? Qualche tech?
Come giocare il mazzo penso dipenda dal matchup. Penso sia estremamente semplice e sono stupito che
tutti non ne giochino uno simile!
- Qual è il prossimo evento al quale hai in programma di partecipare?
Beh in realtà cercherò di andare a tutti gli eventi possibili!
