Living Legend

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 (but will remain legal in Living Legend format).

Becoming a Living Legend

A Living Legend check will occur every Monday (United States time). At the time of this check, any hero that has crossed the threshold officially attains Living Legend status. That hero, along with their signature weapon, will no longer be legal for official tournament play effective from the Friday of that same week.

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:

Living Legend Points by Event Type (Last updated November 6, 2023)
Event Type Points per Event
World Championship 300
Pro Tour 200
Calling 100
US National Championship 100
Battle Hardened 40
National Championship with player cap 96+ 40

Professional Tournament Invitational 20
Pro Quest 4
Road to Nationals 4
Skirmish 4

*The number of points per event may be updated prior to the start of each organized play season. The number of points per event are likely to change over time as the number of global events and active heroes change.

Deathmatch Arena Leaderboard

Throughout the Heavy Hitters organised play season, a "Deathmatch Arena" leaderboard will be maintained for the six contestant heroes. Points will be based on event wins at eligible Heavy Hitters limited format events, including:

  • Road to Nationals (February-March)
  • Battle Hardened
  • Professional Tournament Invitationals
  • Calling

The hero who sits atop of the leaderboard at the conclusion of Pro Quest Season 5 (scheduled to conclude May 5th, 2024), will be declared the Champion of Deathmatch Arena, and will have their triumph immortalized on a special prize card that will be shipped* to each player who won an event that contributed points to the winning hero's leaderboard total! Players who win multiple events with the Champion hero will receive multiple prize cards.

*to be eligible to receive this prize card, your postal address must be saved in your GEM player account on or before May 5th, 2024. Prize cards will ship in the second half of 2024.
