Flesh and Blood uses a revolving card legality model where cards flow in and out of being legal for tournament play based on the mix of heroes that are legal at any one time. A hero stops being legal when it has attained Living Legend status.
Becoming a Living Legend
Upon the release date of each standalone or expansion booster set and scheduled banned & suspended announcement, all heroes who have reached the Living Legend points threshold will attain Living Legend status. The thresholds are:
- Adult heroes - 1000 Living Legend points
- Young heroes - 500 Living Legend points
Gaining Living Legend Points
A hero gains Living Legend points each time it wins certain types of tournaments. The Living Legend points by event type* are:
| Event Type | Points per Event |
|---|---|
| World Championship / Pro Tour | 200 |
| Calling / US National Championship | 100 |
| National Championship with player cap ≥96 | 40 |
| Battle Hardened / National Championship with player cap <96 | 10 |
| Professional Tournament Invitational / Pro Quest / Road to Nationals | 4 |
| Skirmish | 2 |
*The number of points per event will be updated on the table above prior to the start of each organized play season, and is likely to change over time as the total number of events per season and active heroes change.
