Getting Started with Flesh and Blood: The Commoner Format and Community in Eastern Kentucky

Flesh and Blood Trading Card Game is a newer one, but its even newer to the community of Salyersville KY. Salyerville/Magoffin County really hasn’t had a solid card gaming community until, well AppalachiaTCG showed up. But, now we’ve all gotten a game that is smaller and hasn’t been around for 30+ years to get behind. That game is Flesh and Blood.

At AppalachiaTCG we focus on the commoner format, while we have weekly armories and still getting people involved more and more into card gaming this a very beginner and very budget friendly format. The true game of Flesh and Blood lies in the Classic Constructed format which we still play most of us, that have been playing for a bit anyways.

In this article we want to try to get more people not only in card gaming but into the world of Flesh and Blood.

What is the Commoner Format?

While commoner is Competitive, its not as scary or doesn’t require a ton of the high-value cards that you can place into your deck. Commoner allows you to play with Rare’s in your equipment slots, and your library is nothing but common cards.

I think and most of our community thinks commoner is the best, and most cost efficient way to get people into the game. You learn the core gameplay, you can start collecting, and it is tons of fune.

Another great thing is most if not all heroes are available to play with as long as they have a young version of the hero and rare or below! This format is also recognized by LSS as an official format and has bans regularly. You can find more information about the commoner format by going to https://fabtcg.com or reading about it on our commoner page.

Why Play Commoner Format?

Commoner and Flesh and Blood in has brought so many people together. The TCG Community has never been stronger especially in this area of Salyersville KY. Being able to come hang out with a bunch of cool people and play some card games is something that this place has needed for a long time. The local diner owner of the Farmhouse Diner allows us to set up and sell Flesh and Blood and host events everyweek!

This is why you should play commoner, so you can learn an awesome card game, meet new people, and make new friends.

Building a Community in Magoffin County

Building the card gaming community hasn’t been an east task. I think now we have officially been trying to build this up for way over a year now. Starting out at regularly meetups at the library, to having our own place to play hasn’t been nothing short of hard work and a miracle. So many people that play Flesh and Blood and commoner are willing to even give you cards, show you how the play the game. It’s quite amazing what the community alone has accomplished in little over a year.

With no end in sight, Magoffin County might be one of the best places to learn and play the game of Flesh and Blood.

We welcome all new players to the community, we want to show you how to play the game and help you get into card gaming in general.
