Why Rarity Matters In Flesh And Blood Deckbuilding

Common (C)

Common (C) cards are a deck-building essential and will be the foundation of every deck you build. They are the easiest to collect and very accessible.

Pull rate: Around 12 per booster pack

Token (T)

When playing FaB, you’ll encounter the term Token a few times, but it doesn’t always mean the same thing.

First, you have the Token (T) rarity, which is our main focus. These cards contain heroes and their basic weapons and equipment, and are double-sided to ensure players have access to them from the very beginning.

Tokens can also be a card type, usually referring to effects created by other cards (e.g. the hero Viserai creates Runechant tokens).

Pull rate: 1 token per booster pack

Rare (R)

Rare (R) cards are the next step up in terms of card design and strength. These cards often feature more specialised abilities that can be used in combos or advanced in-game strategies. While stronger, rare cards are still relatively accessible.

Pull rate: 1 rare per booster pack

Super Rare (S)

Super Rare (S) cards were a valuable rarity in early sets but are no longer printed. Even so, they remain prized by players and collectors and are often sought after for specific strategies.

Pull rate: 1 in 6 booster packs (limited to Welcome to Rathe and Arcane Rising)

Majestic (M)

Majestic (M) cards tend to be more specialised in terms of mechanics and don’t fit into every deck. Often, a deck will include one or two key Majestic cards that form a major part of its strategy.

Majestic cards also feature impressive artwork, making them highly desirable for both players and collectors.

Pull rate: 1 in 12 booster packs

Legendary (L)

Legendary (L) cards feature iconic heroes, weapons, or equipment and usually have unique effects that can’t be replicated by lower-rarity cards. A single Legendary card can significantly shape your deck’s strategy.

Pull rate: 1 in 96 booster packs

Marvel (F/MV)

Marvel (F/MV) cards are typically not essential for gameplay and are mostly valued for their visual appeal. They often feature alternate artwork of popular heroes or extended borders for a premium look.

Pull rate: Very rare (varies by set)

How To Recognise Card Rarity Codes For Flesh and Blood TCG

The rarity codes in FaB have changed over the years and may seem confusing to beginners. Let’s break it down below:

Welcome to Rathe & Arcane Rising

For the first two sets, you could find information related to your card’s rarity at the bottom as white text on the black border, like in the example image.

WTR stands for Welcome to Rathe (the expansion set of the card), 004 means the card is number 4 in the set, and L means Legendary (the rarity of the card).

First Edition vs. Unlimited - How To Recognise Your Card Type

It later became easier to identify card rarity. From Crucible of War onwards, releases featured a solid coloured dot with the rarity letter inside, which was later changed to an outlined circle instead.

First Edition refers to cards without any circle dot, as well as those with a solid coloured dot. Unlimited refers to cards printed later with a circle outline instead of a filled dot.

Here’s a quick reference guide to figure out if your card is First Edition or Unlimited:

Set Name	No Coloured Dot	Coloured Dot	Circle Outline
Welcome to Rathe	First Edition	Unlimited	X
Arcane Rising	First Edition	Unlimited	X
Crucible of War	X	First Edition	Unlimited
Monarch	X	First Edition	Unlimited
Tales of Aria	X	First Edition	Unlimited
Everfest	X	First Edition	X
Uprising	X	X	Unlimited

After Uprising, all cards printed were part of the Unlimited edition.

Flesh and Blood Rainbow vs. Cold Foil Rarity - What’s The Difference?

Additional features like Rainbow foils vs. Cold foils are not as important for gameplay but can be an amazing find for collectors.

Rainbow foils are common across many TCGs. These cards shine with a rainbow effect in the light. You’ll typically find at least one Rainbow foil card in every booster pack (often a Common, but sometimes higher rarities).

Cold foils are unique to Flesh and Blood. These cards have a silvery, metallic appearance and are extremely rare — pulling one is considered very lucky.

Does Rarity Equal Power In Flesh and Blood?

The short answer is — not always. LSS implements balancing to ensure new players can get into the game even without the rarest cards in their decks.

Usually, the power of your strategy won’t come from stuffing all the Legendary cards into one deck. You’ll need to consider the mechanics of each card and how they work together, which often means building a deck with a mix of rarities. We recommend:

Common: 40–50% of your deck
Rare: 30–40% of your deck
Majestic and above: 10–20% of your deck

Before building a strong deck, we recommend getting a good grasp of the basic rules of Flesh and Blood.

Why Rarity Matters In Flesh And Blood Deckbuilding

While rarity alone doesn’t determine power, higher rarities often feature more specialised or even game-changing abilities that can take your deck from average to highly competitive.

Higher rarities are also commonly associated with premium or alternate artwork and special foil treatments, which increase a card’s value and visual appeal.
