With Pro Tour Yokohama revealing World Tour stops and the 2026 World Championship in Paris, Flesh and Blood collectors are preparing for the busiest competitive season yet.

Flesh and Blood's 19th expansion, Omens of the Third Age, released June 5, 2026. The set introduces Lightning Flow tokens and a new draft macro, featuring three Lightning-infused heroes and two returning heroes in new forms. Silver Age Chapter 3 preconstructed decks released alongside the set, and future Silver Age decks will now tie more closely to each set release. The next set, Usurp the Shadow Throne, is scheduled for September 25, 2026, with the world premiere in Seoul on September 11-13.

Upcoming FAB World Tour and Championship

The 2026 World Championship will be held in Paris, France on November 5-8. Mastery Pack Warrior and the Olympia Armory Deck release August 7, 2026, with early access at Gen Con.

Top FAB Cards to Grade in 2026

• Fabled cards from Omens of the Third Age — The rarest collectibles in the set.
• Cold Foil tournament prizes — Gold Foil and Cold Foil prize cards command strong premiums.
• 1st Edition Marvel cards — Alternate-art extended-border treatments.
• National Championship promo cards — Limited distribution across 45+ regions.
• World Championship qualification cards — Invites and prizes for top competitive finishers.

Centering and Foil Quality

Flesh and Blood cards have bold borders and full-art designs that make centering critical. Cold Foil and Rainbow Foil treatments are prone to surface scratches and print lines. Before grading, measure centering ratios and inspect under magnification. The 1st Edition marker is essential for long-term value.

Conclusion

Flesh and Blood's competitive season is creating fresh collector demand. Boston, Seattle and Portland collectors should pre-grade Omens of the Third Age chase cards, 1st Edition Marvels and tournament prizes before the Paris World Championship.
