Some of y'all may have seen my YouTube videos -- how many of those would you like to see in a week? (My goals for these are primarily educational, entertainment secondary. But I understand it's more fun to learn if the material is also fun. 😄)
... I now get why removing Pulsewave Harpoon makes sense in a Gas Up list.
With 3 less Crankshafts (the yellows), I can see how the opts let you have a close replacement but without getting clogged with those below rate attacks. I'm particularly interested in how you took out R/Y-Bones -- you haven't felt the need for them in, say Ninja?
Oh and...
Absolutely. I don't accept "get lunch" as an option for any matchup... Mech into Jarl has indeed felt pretty good lately!
Very cool. I can see from your MUs that there's no risk of Ripple Away. Love the list, too, it's like the Demon midrange list evolved to have a more secure combo plan. I will have to try that one of Module for sure! Oh, and no CitM makes perfect sense when you're on Gas Up
Wait omg I never noticed the dog there... That changes everything
Awesome! What did you face, and how's your list looking?

Maxx Nitro Metafy Guide Update 2026.April.11 #fabtcg
My list Berthastic has updated to v1.3! This list is great for newer Maxx players.
New section for Youtube videos, allowing me to show more about how I play Maxx against Rathe... Starting with Ira, Scarlet Revenger. Episode JS_IRA001 below.
If it cranks, we can at least Bank(sy)... If it's boost, hell yes we take em. In any case we already run Cog in the Machine, so Puffin adjacent doesn't sound bad at all 🥹👌
I keep telling people, we're getting something in Omens.
I beat a Jarl after resolving all 3 Teklo Pounders. I lost to another when I decided to not resolve 2 of them, instead using them for pitch only. List is quite fun!
... Turns out it's good to have a healthy diet.
In the thumbnail, you can see a slice of the results against a match. It was against a Fai, who lost with an average value of 18 to my 20 on Maxx (Berthastic v1.0)...
New Maxx list: Berthastic v1.1! #fabtcg

I've been looking for a reason to either update Candy Shop or make a new list. After Wooper (Discord) shared a 21-Crankshaft effect list, it got me thinking about those cards and how it would be to "eat more vegetables"...
I didn't know Null Time Zone could prevent pitching from deck! Ah, the English language. #fabtcg
Absolutely sick. I need an anting-anting ward against Illusionists for my Assassin Portascroll, and I need another for Mech boost and draw luck. Maybe another one for avoiding bad GEM matchups...
Thanks for this! I think I'll do exactly that. I'm preparing, downloaded some programs, now gotta learn 'em...
PS. Forgot to say. I also added a note under Show of Strength! Blocking with a Nitro Mech that has Galvanic Bender under it will reduce Show of Strength's attack by 1. (It is a card with 6 attack.)

* I’m now hoping to test NTZ in the Jarl matchup, looking to stress test its effectiveness while also now boarding CNM in.

* Tuffnut’s gotten quite the upgrade in PEN, and with it requires a deeper understanding of how to play against him. We move from Combo to Racing. I’m testing bringing in NTZ (often naming Buckwild) as a way to overtake them in tight corners...
Updated Candy Shop to 2.2:

* Signal Jammer is back, taking the spot of 1 blue Hyper Driver and Viziertronic Model i. Signal Jammers gives us some tricks against Vynnset and Marlynn in particular, improving these unfavored and nightmare matchups up a notch, respectively...
Maxx Nitro Metafy Guide Update 2026.April.01 #fabtcg
I know what date it is — this is real, promise. You may have seen it already, Maxx vs. Tuffnut at Ethan’s channel @mansant.bsky.social. I've added a lot of info for that matchup, now that we’re seeing some good Tuffnut lists with PEN cards.
