Choose your Hero and kit them out with the finest equipment and attacks – but make sure you pack a lot of gold too, as we venture into the world of Rathe and check out the most valuable Flesh and Blood cards!
As a relatively new game – launched in late 2019 – as well as being an entirely new intellectual property, Flesh and Blood doesn’t have the pull of nostalgia that games such as Magic: The Gathering or Pokemon have, which often contributes to the value of many cards in those games.
Yet despite this, publishers Legend Story Studios have done a spectacular job with increasing the audience for their trading card game, thanks not just to its unique mechanics and feel, but also because of an impressively detailed, compelling in-game universe and some genuinely stunning card art.
As such, you may be surprised by the value that some cards have reached in such a short space of time; there are numerous rare, highly sought after cards that have absolutely skyrocketed in value.
Which are the most expensive right now?
Let’s find out, as we check out the most valuable Flesh and Blood cards!
1. Fyendal’s Spring Tunic – Cold Foil Golden ($75,000)
There are 8 variants of Fyendal’s Spring Tunic – each of which is pretty expensive for a single card – but this golden, cold foil treated variant is by far the priciest.
If you’re not aware of cold foil as a card treatment, it highlights certain elements of the card with foil – in Magic: The Gathering, for example, cards that have essentially the same treatment are known as etched foil.
At the time of writing, only one of these specific golden variant cards is on offer via Cardmarket – and it’s priced at an amazing $75,000!
Yet even the cheapest possible variant – a reprint, no less, from the History Pack 1 set – is commanding around $200 at its lowest.
Fyendal’s Spring Tunic is a Generic Equipment card, which – at first glance, at least – doesn’t appear to be as impressive in its function to cause such a high asking price.
It’s a great card, for sure – especially as, being Generic, any Hero can make use of it – and no doubt, at least in its non-reprint version, the fact that Fyendal’s Spring Tunic is card 001 adds to its allure.
Just be prepared to pay a premium if you want to add it into your collection!
2. Mask of Momentum – Cold Foil Golden ($55,000)
Just like Fyendal’s Spring Tunic, the golden, cold foil treated variant of Mask of Momentum is a promo card, which would instantly make it more sought after and valuable than other cards.
However – and another thing it has in common with the number one card on our list of the most valuable Flesh and Blood cards – it’s the astronomical price it’s currently commanding that’s genuinely surprising.
Listed at just under $55,000, this is another card that’ll most likely break the bank for many Flesh and Blood players.
Do note that there are numerous variants of Mask of Momentum, which – in its cheapest English-language variant, another History Pack 1 reprint – will still set fans back at least $70!
Mask of Momentum doesn’t have the luxury of versatility that the Generic Fyendal’s Spring Tunic has, which likely explains why it isn’t valued as highly; it’s an Equipment card that can only be used by Ninja Heroes.
3. Grasp of the Arknight – Cold Foil Golden ($22,000)
Another Equipment card – this one for Runeblade Heroes – Grasp of the Arknight is also another card that’s had the golden, cold foil treatment.
It’s also another Promo card, though it didn’t feature in the first Flesh and Blood set, Welcome to Rathe.
Instead, Grasp of the Arknight made its first set appearance in Arcane Rising – the second Flesh and Blood set to be released.
Incidentally, you can check out our list of all Flesh and Blood sets for more details on what sets have been released and when they came out!
It’s also available in numerous other versions to this standard (as in, not golden) cold foil treatment.
The English language, History Pack 1 reprint is by far the cheapest variant of the Grasp of the Arknight card – though even at its lowest price, it still costs around $60.
4. Storm Striders – Cold Foil Golden ($22,000)
A Wizard Equipment card, Storm Striders is yet another Promo card in the golden, cold foil variant that has clearly proven to add a huge amount of desirability to Flesh and Blood’s most valuable cards.
It’s also another card that made its debut in Arcane Rising and reappeared in reprint set History Pack 1; the reprinted, white bordered edition is the cheapest English language variant of the card.
That’ll still cost you around $65 though – even at its cheapest, Storm Striders is clearly an expensive option for Wizard Hero players!
5. Heart of Fyendal – Cold Foil ($15,000)
At the midpoint of the most valuable Flesh and Blood cards list, we finally get to the first card which – at the time of writing at least – has numerous copies available, giving a range of prices.
The Heart of Fyendal is a Legendary card, meaning that you can only have one in your deck.
It’s also the first card on this list that isn’t a Promo – instead, it’s at the Fabled rarity level.
Fabled rarity cards are said to be found at an incredibly low rate – around 1 card in 60 booster boxes are at the Fabled level!
Check out our Flesh and Blood booster boxes article for a look at the best options when it comes to the game’s different sets.
As a Generic Resource card, it’s more flexible than the last few entries on our list – which perhaps explains why it can still be pretty costly even its reprinted variants.
Though there’s no listing currently for an English language History Pack 1 reprint, its German language variant is listed at $424; note that non-English cards are usually priced significantly below their English counterparts, making it all the more remarkable that Heart of Fyendal has held such a high value!
6. Eye of Ophidia – Cold Foil ($12,000)
Another ‘standard’ cold foil treated card, Eye of Ophidia is also another Fabled rarity card.
It’s also another card with multiple copies for sale at present, with the value rising to $14,000 at its highest.
As a Generic Resource, it’s another flexible and useful card for any Hero – which has no doubt contributed to its value.
Debuting in Arcane Rising First Edition, less expensive variants are available in the Unlimited edition of Arcane Rising, with the cheapest being around $450 for the German, History Pack 1 version of the card.
7. Taylor ($11,000)
Perhaps the biggest surprise is that it’s taken so long on the list of the most valuable Flesh and Blood cards to get to a Hero!
It may also prove surprising that, out of all of the Heroes and their special treatments or alternate art variants, Taylor is the one that makes the cut!
As a Shapeshifter, Taylor is just about as versatile as the Generic cards featured on this list, however.
This card is a Promo too, with no other versions available – so if you want to get your hands on a Taylor card, your options are very limited indeed.
Which explains why it commands such a high price and also why it’s rarely on offer; it wouldn’t be surprising to see this particular card rise in value either.
8. Fyendal’s Spring Tunic – Extended Art Rainbow Foil ($10,500)
Priced between $10,500 to $11,000 at the moment, this alternate version of Fyendal’s Spring Tunic shows that the demand and value of this card, almost regardless of the variant, is incredibly high.
Though the value is significantly lower than the Golden Cold Foil variant, this Extended Art Rainbow Foil edition of the card is, arguably, even more beautiful as a piece of art in its own right.
Especially as the art and picture feels a lot more complete on this version of Fyendal’s Spring Tunic.
As it’s functionally the same card as the one occupying the number one spot of the most valuable Flesh and Blood cards list, if you’re in the market for it, you may want to save yourself at least $60,000 and opt for this one instead.
However, there’s also a third option that also appears on this list – keep reading and you’ll see!
9. Fyendal’s Spring Tunic – Cold Foil ($8,250)
Wow – Flesh and Blood fans really do want to get hold of Fyendal’s Spring Tunic, don’t they?
This third variant of the card is another that seems to sell for a huge price, with current listings around the $8,250 mark.
Unlike the previous two variants of Fyendal’s Spring Tunic, this Cold Foil card isn’t a promo; instead, it’s a Legendary rarity card.
As with the other cards bearing the same name, there’s no difference in this one to the other versions of Fyendal’s Spring Tunic, so if you’re looking to actually use it in your deck, there are cheaper – though still very expensive – options available.
10. Enlightened Strike – Rainbow Foil ($6,300)
As we round off the list of the most valuable Flesh and Blood cards, it’s worth pointing out that different card rarities have been introduced at various stages – and it’s not always immediately clear just how rare they are, due to the names that Legend Story Studios use for the various levels of rarity.
Until Marvel rarity cards were introduced in the Uprising set, Fabled cards were the rarest (if we don’t take into account Promos, of course!).
The Rainbow Foil treated variant of Enlightened Strike is a Fabled rarity card; it’s also another Generic card that any Hero can use, making it a pretty useful one to have in any deck.
Prices start at $6,300 for this Action card – and it does seem to be on offer a lot more than any other card on this list, with prices rising to more than double the lowest figure here.
So there we have it; a surprisingly valuable list of ten cards, for a Trading Card Game that has quickly captured the attention of gamers the world over – as well as their wallets, in some cases!
What Are The Flesh and Blood Card Rarity Levels?
We’ve discussed a few of these, but it’s definitely useful to have a bit of insight as to which levels correspond to the rarest or more sought after cards in Flesh and Blood, so here’s the full list:
- Common (C)
- Token (T)
- Rare (R)
- Super Rare (S)
- Majestic (M)
- Legendary (L)
- Fabled (F)
- Marvel
Note that Marvel cards are special alternate art versions of pre-existing cards, usually made to fit the design or setting of a particular set – the stunning, Renaissance-era medical illustration style cards in the Outsiders set, for example.
It’s also worth noting that Super Rare cards are no longer part of Flesh and Blood; they only appeared in Welcome to Rathe and Arcane Rising before being removed.
