Silver Age is the newest format in Flesh and Blood TCG. The initial onboarding hurdle for newer players is the cost of Flesh and Blood, in both time sunk into the 50~ minutes of Classic Constructed, and the price tag of staple cards on the secondary market.
Legend Story Studios spent much of their development time in 2025 addressing this issue with a new take on the 20 life, young hero formats. Commoner is a thing of the past. Blitz, with its card pool not designed for 20 life, faster games, all gave way to Silver Age.
Decks in this new Silver Age format are hero, plus 55 cards, with players presenting exactly 40 cards in deck to their opponent. With 20 life, the games are fast and dynamic. Let's take a look at the best decks in this emerging format.
A note from us here at DotGG! This is an ongoing article with sources pulled from across numerous online platforms. We're going to keep updating this article with spotlights on each of the best decks in the format to get a rolling perspective of this games continuously shifting meta.

There have been a significant number of surprising bans to the Silver Age format, and a marked lack of bans to certain other decks, so as not to invalidate the Silver Age preconstructed decks which are still on shelves at many local game stores.
As we go into the Omens of the Third Age season, we've seen significant bans, and most importantly, the benching of several top tier decks from competitive play.
S Tier
Briar
Despite catching the vast majority of the bannings, Briar still looks to be one of the better decks in this emerging Silver Age format.
The proactive approach of Lightning that emerged since Briar hit Living Legend in CC, thanks to Aurora, is something that the deck deeply benefits from. The ability to send multiple 0-for-4 attacks, all backed up with a respectable defensive on hit effect is what gives the deck its versatility. The added benefit of consistent Go Again on an attack that goes tall makes the deck so unpredictable to play against.
While this deck has hit the metagame obscurity after the bannings, I imagine it'll return to prominence when the new precon is released and when certain decks are put on the bench once Omens releases.
Recent innovation has lead to the deck centering around face up damage and incidental arcane in the form of Harnessed Lightning.
After the recent update in the ban list and the release of supporting cards in Omens of the Third Age, Briar is poised to take over the metagame.
A Tier
Blaze, Firemind
The newest Wizard in the format is going to make similar splashes as she once did in Blitz with the departure of Kano.
Blaze operates in a pure tempo standpoint, whilst caring about the Opt keyword. As long as you stack the counters on your hero, you get to play one Arcane spell on your opponent's turn, at instant speed.
Cindering Foresight is at its best in this deck, as it both "amps" and Opts on the opponent's turn.
Since Blaze doesn't play from the top of the deck like Kano does, she's able to utilise Absorb in Aether better than other Wizards.
During her own turn, cards like Whispers of the Oracle gain extra utility to sculpt the draws and get the counters you need. There's also the incentive to play attack action cards like Fyendal's Fighting Spirit or Wounded Bull to encourage even more blocks.
I can't include a sample deck at this time because new versions of Chane are speculative. Despite this, I would be astounded if Chane is not a relevant contender in the Omens season.
Iyslander
The Ice Wizard and one true love of commentator Pankaj Bhojwani has finally started making splashes in this end of Compendium season.
Iyslander plays a tempo, control game by playing blue non attack actions during the opponent's turn. While they might have the lowest rate on conversions, they do have the added benefit of conferring frostbite tokens if they're Ice blues.
Because she doesn't play off the top of the deck like Kano or Blaze, she gets to run above rate attack actions like Fyendal's Fighting Spirit and Wounded Bull as a way of drawing cards from your opponent's hands. These cards are always online thanks to her starting at a lower life.
By coupling these frostbites with Ice Eternal, we get a strong combo finish that can delay the early game of aggressive opponents and then get a definitive kill at the end of the game.
Oldhim
The definition of a defensive deck, Oldhim is positioned in this metagame to block efficiently and handle the physical damage of any opponent, whilst covering even more damage and protection thanks to the hero ability.
Oldhim is the best user of the yellow Guardian Block cards from Mastery Pack Guardian, such as Clash of Legs. It's not likely for the effect to trigger, but a deck comprised of numerous 4-block cards is absurdly powerful. Couple that with the Guardian defensive package such as Steadfast and Staunch Response and the deck is very, very resilient to physical damage.
This uber defensive play style leads to fatigue, removing all cards from your opponent's deck, being the prevailing strategy for Oldhim. The developers were aware of how potent this deck was in their testing of Silver Age. This is why the preconstructed decks are all built with aggressive stances. Despite this, the defensive posture of Oldhim is very well established.
The block heavy Guardian may be favoured into anything that can present physical damage, but the deck struggles to the point of it being unwinnable, into pure arcane damage. Decks like Wizard or Florian all deal damage in ways that Oldhim can scarcely block or interact with.
B Tier
Bravo, Flattering Showman
This proactive version of Guardian in Silver Age has been a presence since the format's inception. The closest version of Bravo, Star of the Show the format will ever get.
Bravo is able to reliably, consistently send Dominated threatening attacks every single turn. We get to see the deck pressure the aggressive decks with cards like Debilitate and Crush the Weak for the aggressive decks, and then certain tech cards like Renounce Grandeur for key tokens or even Disable to pressure the arsenal.
With so few strong Defense Reaction cards, Dominate is such a strong keyword, especially when it's on your hero card. Get your copies of Unflinching Foothold now!
Dromai
With the presence of Guardian growing to combat the aggresive decks, decks that set up a board state are there to prey on the Guardians.
Dromai is a deck that plays pitches Red cards to create the tokens to turn into powerful Dragons. The Dragons all require opponents to commit at least 1 real attack to clear it on their turn, which is incredibly taxing for the slower decks in this budding format.
The unbanned card Rake the Embers is what I like to call a "boardstate in a box". Being able to make 3 Harmonized Kodachi that don't need to be pitched for, and that need multiple attacks to clear.
The overall suite of Dragons is another factor that helps the versatility of the hero in this format. We get to see Azvolai to ping other 1-health Dragons or Gravy Bones zombies, Ouvia to continue to spread around the boardstate or even Themai to take over the Wizard matchup.
The deck struggles immensely into aggro. For any deck that can send multiple chain links which can clear the board then still pressure face is a struggle for the Draconic Illusionist.
Fai
Draconic Aggro was on the radar of everyone in the format after the Silver Age Precon made Top 16 during Calling London.
Fai has always presented repeatable, consistent, aggressively wide combat chains. Recurring Phoenix Flame over and over, turning in into card advantage with Fire That Burns Within, and other chain finishers like Lava Burst and Art of the Dragon: Fire which is enabled by Enflame the Firebrand.
If Fai is ever put in the blocking state, it's a deck that's likely to lose value. We can be sure that if it races Kayo, it is well positioned, but until then it's a weaker aggressive choice.
Wrap Up
This Silver Age Tier List, much like the Silver Age Metagame, is always evolving and changing. No format in any TCG is static. Legend Story Studios is committed to keeping Silver Age feeling fresh, with regular bans and the proactive approach to "bench" certain heroes based on community engagement.
As long as LSS is committed to the churn of this format, we here at DotGG are committed to keeping this article up to date with the latest scope of the Silver Age metagame.
