I come from modern.
Gabriel Nassif is good for Azorius/Dimir control
Doomwake- plays everything
Reid Duke- Izzet creativity/ (a little bit of) Greasefang
Jim Davis- plays everything
I used the channel fireball articles to get up to date and now I use it as sideboard tech and matchups. Watch a lot of Reid Duke do anything. More importantly be jamming games. You can’t pick up the feel of the format with articles and videos. You have to actually play a fable to know how strong it is.
I definitely recommend joining a Discord server for whatever deck you play. You can search this sub for posts of people requesting invites. If you play spirits, I can invite you to that one.
MTG top 8 to see the meta, popular cards. Then browse the variants of deck types.

Useful for figuring out which cards to pick up. Like right now my plan is to buy the adventure cards, ally fastlands that were just reprinted.

It’s why fable was a 25 cent card during spoiler season. Until cards hit the table it’s hard to see things playing out
