Sagrada Familia Events

Keep an eye out for specially labeled Sagrada Familia events! Featuring a variety of formats across all three days, not only will you earn double prize tickets from these events, you will also receive a breathtaking Sagrada Familia themed Sigil of Solace promo! The talented artist behind this masterpiece, Asur Misoa, will also be at World Championship: Barcelona if you wish to get this beautiful commemorative card signed.

Calling

This awesome event offers a whopping $30,000 USD prize pool, is open to everyone, and you don't even need to bring your own deck! Featuring the latest set Bright Lights in a combination of Sealed Deck and Booster Draft, this is a great opportunity to rip open packs and experience competitive Flesh and Blood without needing a professional invite! Starting on Saturday November 18th, players will receive four Bright Lights booster packs to build a deck from. Those who make Day 2 will build new decks in Booster Draft, picking a card from each pack before passing it along to the next player at the table.

Battle Hardened

Living Legends return to walk the earth once more! In this very special twist on Classic Constructed, all adult heroes and weapons are legal, even those who have attained Living Legend status! Starting on Sunday November 19th, experience Flesh and Blood at the highest peak of power as titans clash for $2,000 USD and the Fabled Collection Prism Statue!

(please note that Briar, Warden of Thorns uses the errata version)

Cosplay Contest

Bring your favourite Flesh and Blood character to life through costume and you could win exclusive prizes such as a cold foil Taylor, and the new fabric promos and playmat! Taking place on Saturday November 18th at 6:00pm, get ready to marvel at what our dedicated cosplay community has cooked up!

The Professor Experience

The Professor himself will be at World Championship: Barcelona, and he needs your help! Solve a series of clues to fix the Quantum Processor and you could win a Cold Foil Professor Teklovossen! Begin your mission at the Registration Stage from Friday to Sunday between 2-5pm.

Commoner

Enter the world of budget beatdowns and you could score a stunning Gold Foil! Commoner is similar to Blitz, but uses special deckbuilding rules where every card in your main deck must be common rarity, and your weapons/equipment must be rare or common rarity. Dirt cheap, fast-paced, and easy to learn, Commoner offers the signature dynamic gameplay of Flesh and Blood for players on a budget!

Ultimate Pit Fight

It's time to get Round the Table! Ultimate Pit Fight is Flesh and Blood's chaotic multiplayer format, filled with crazy combos, tabletop politics, and making or breaking alliances! A Gold Foil Silver Palms is up for grabs on Sunday, but you'll also find a variety of Ultimate Pit Fight events taking place throughout the weekend, many of which use preconstructed decks so you can jump straight into the ring! James White will be getting amongst the madness on Saturday at 1:00pm, so if you've ever dreamed of teaming up with (or backstabbing) the creator of Flesh and Blood, now's your chance!

Other Side Events

We really are completely spoiled for choice at World Championship: Barcelona. While you may be familiar with mainstay formats such as Classic Constructed, Blitz, and Sealed Deck, there are a few other special gameplay formats featured for you to sink your teeth into...

Shapeshifter Sealed breaks down the walls of Flesh and Blood by allowing you to play cards from any class in your deck! Anything is possible, from Dorinthea with Harmonized Kodachis, to Bravo with Evo Upgrades!

Team Limited puts your teamwork and communication skills to the test, challenging you and two of your friends to build three separate decks from the same pool of cards. You will face off against other teams of three, and whichever team wins at least 2/3 games wins the match! You can freely talk to your teammates during games, offering advice to help take down the opposition.

3 Pack Crack Shuffle Play is a brand new innovative way to play quick and easy games of Flesh and Blood. Simply crack three packs of Bright Lights (removing the two cards at the back), shuffle everything together, pick a hero and weapon and play! If you're trying out this format casually amongst friends, you can even add an extra layer of unexpected twists and turns by randomly picking your hero and not looking at the cards in your deck before shuffling up!

Alpha Draft is a prestigious event where selected players rip open precious packs of the very first Flesh and Blood set ever printed, Welcome to Rathe. Due to the scarcity of these cards, you could very well open an incredibly coveted treasure that will make everyone around you green with jealousy! You can go into the random draw to qualify for Alpha Draft simply by participating in specifically labeled side events.
