What's the crown jewel of your collection?
I was lucky enough to get a Christmas present from James White in 2021. It was an extremely rare prototype "flowwrap" paper pack of Arcane Rising Unlimited. These were never released to the public. 24 were printed, and approximately 10 survived testing. I was told they are only full of commons, but there's a small part of me that wonders if they have something much cooler inside.
Is there a particular Flesh and Blood card you don't have that you hope to own someday?
The Dorinthea Ironsong Pro Tour Champion Prize Card, hopefully when Pablo wins it.
How did you first get into collecting Flesh and Blood?
I watched an Alpha Investments box opening of Crucible Of War 1st Edition and fell in love with the art, so I went out and bought one.
Why do you collect TCGs?
To bling out my Dorinthea deck for that fateful day that I will have to play on a big stream.
Why should people collect Flesh and Blood?
The community, art, and gameplay.
Tell us about your experience collecting High Seas.
High Seas feels like a masterpiece, the art is superb (as we come to expect of Flesh and Blood sets), but you also have the double "dice roll" of trying to get a Fabled or Marvel in the box, and then trying to get a big Cold Foil or even a Lost Treasure.
What was your first Cold Foil?
Shiyana, Diamond Gemini! I immediately knew it was a good hit simply because of how beautiful the card was and how unique the Cold Foil border was compared to other cards I had seen.

What is your favourite Flesh and Blood booster set?
For nostalgia, Arcane Rising. But in my opinion, High Seas will reign as the best Flesh and Blood set of all time to open.
What is your favourite Flesh and Blood artwork?
Extended Art Twinning Blade is hard to beat.
