Flesh and Blood

• Unlimited editions are being discontinued after Everfest. Starting with the next booster set (Uprising), there will only be one printing, with additional waves added if there's demand for it. Both cold foils and rainbow foils will be available in these future printings, but cold foils will be rarer than they are in current 1st ed products. Also, they're adding a new rarity called "marvel" for unique alterations of other cards in the set, with varying rarity (some will be slightly rarer than a foil version of a normal card, some will be rarer than extended art foils of normal cards).
• New products called "Histories" will be released every three sets or so, that include the most popular cards from the three most recent out-of-print sets. The cards featured in these products will be non-foil only and have white borders instead of black borders. Histories 1 is scheduled for US release on May 6, and will feature the greatest hits from Welcome to Rathe, Arcane Rising, and Crucible of War. This product is intended for new players who just want playable cards - since all of the cards in here are white border non-foils, they will be of no interest to collectors.
• PvE has been confirmed. No ETA on when it will drop or details on how it will play, but James White has officially confirmed that it is being worked on and that it's going to receive a lot of support.
• Ultimate Pit Fighter rules have been updated.
• Commoner is now an officially supported format with official rules.
• When a hero achieves living legend, their "signature weapon" will go with them. For example, if Prism achieves Living Legend, then Luminaris will also become LL and no longer be playable in the corresponding format. Some heroes (like Starvo and Data Doll) do not have signature weapons.
• In the distant future of the game, there will be a "living legend" format, where only heroes who have achieved living legend can be played.
• Everfest Unlimited is scheduled for September 2022 however, this is not a real date: James White just put this on the website so that the customer support team would stop getting floods of "when is Everfest unlimited coming out" questions. If the market doesn't need Everfest Unlimited because there's still a ton of 1st ed floating around, they'll either delay Everfest Unlimited or cancel it all together. (This wasn't in the article but in a video by Alpha Investments about a conversation between Rudy and James White following the release of this article.)

I think the old system wasn't working for either group, collectors or players. The new set up should make the bling the hard thing to chase, not the actual product, which is better for card collectors, worse for sealed product collectors. The Chronicles set is suitably hideous, so there should still be demand for the non eye bleach versions of cards.

They still need to actually ship three new sets in a year tho, people get grumbly when metas last six months.

With only paper cards there's no way to learn how to play this game if you don't live near any gaming stores, and the past few years has not been kind to B&Ms.

We'll see how long this game is for this world. Both Louie and Rudy came out with videos on how Channel Fireball has been completely fucking with releases, product values, etc and essentially causing LGSs to stop carrying the game. Basically getting substantial amounts of the released product, dripping it out slowly for massive profits (making people think product is far more scare than it really is), and then mass dumping it in fire sales at below distributor prices, which LGS obviously can't complete with. CFB seems to be a really, really horrible outfit.
