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:
| Event Type | Points per Event |
|---|---|
| World Championship | 100 |
| Pro Tour | 100 |
| Calling | 50 |
| US National Championship | 50 |
| National Championship (non-US) | 25 |
| Battle Hardened | 25 |
| Pro Quest+ | 5 |
| Pro Quest | 5 |
| Road to Nationals | 5 |
| Skirmish | 5 |
*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.
