FABTCG Commoner Format

You might be wondering where you should start if you are new to the Flesh & Blood TCG. Well, I’m here to help and I want to help you by getting into Flesh and Blood with the Commoner format! 

This format for the card game Flesh and Blood is a very low entry format. This means that you aren’t going to be forking over $100 – $1000 of dollars to compete at the highest level. This format is extremely cheap hardly any decks are above $10. 

As with many Trading Card Games, there are exceptions but I believe this is honestly the best format to get started with. Some people recommend Blitz, and Clash. But, even those formats can cost a bit more money AND you don’t get to use ALL THE HEROES!

That’s right any young hero in Flesh and Blood will be available for use in the Commoner format.

Why do I bring this up? 

Well, once I started playing Flesh and Blood there was one Blitz deck that caught my eye and that was the hero Oldhim. The hero looks awesome and someone I would play in a fantasy RPG, turns out though whenever I picked up the game he wasn’t available to play in the Blitz format no longer for going LL (Living Legend) which usually means the hero is banned from the format for winning or something broke the game. 

What are the rules of the Flesh & Blood Commoner Format

The rules are almost identical to the Blitz format. Keep in mind what I said above is that all young heroes are available though! The reason this format is such a low entry is because you aren’t allowed to have Majestics at all in your deck. Majestics are extremely more rare cards and are usually very powerful. 

This almost takes out all of the specialization cards some heroes might not work as well in commoner as they do in Blitz but this gives somewhat of a even playground. You can however use Common or Rare cards in your equipment! The rest of your deck must be Common though.

So you will have your Young Hero, Weapons and Equipment, and 40 Card deck of commons! This restriction keeps the costs down and levels out the playing field. So if you really start enjoying Flesh and Blood then you can start chasing after the expensive, and harder to find cards so you can be competitive in Classic Constructed or Blitz.
