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.
Silver Age Metagame
| Tier | Deck |
| S | A TierDashSilver Age looks to be a format where proactive decks prevail. No deck asks more questions than the original Mechanologist. Dash usually starts with Hyper Driver in play to make the deck as pitchless as possible. The rest of the deck is attacks with Boost to get the win as few turns as possible. There are cards like Crankshaft and Big Bertha to facilitate further Boosts. The main reason that original Dash is the deck of choice, compared to Dash, Database is because of this dynamic. Database requires a critical mass of Item cards in deck to gain value from the hero ability. This can dilute the aggressive output of the deck. Ira, Crimson HazeIn 20 life formats, the consistent value that Ira provides is always powerful, especially with the current format's proactive, aggressive stance. Bittering Thorns offers a second dip of the Ira hero ability, which pushes the maths of her attacks above rate on every single combat chain. The "Tiger" Equipment has been unanimously agreed to be the best in the format for Ninja. Pouncing Paws being able to extend the turn, paired with Tearing Shuko allows the Tiger to attack for a reasonable sum. The biggest difference in Ira deck building is that the number of 2-for-6 disruptive attacks is significantly fewer in Silver Age. The bomb Majestics like Command and Conquer aren't quite the thing in this format. Cards like Humble and Wreck Havoc fill that spot. With Harmonized Kodachi's and the format's inclination towards being proactive, the play pattern of Kodachi, Kodachi, 1-for-5 like Smash Up or Bluster Buff is the more common line. The newest Blue from Compendium of Rathe, Feign Vengeance, is often a card players are loath to block, even if +1 from Ira or +3 from Razor Reflex. KanoThe original remains one of the best decks in the format after Jacob Clements' win during Showdown London, and a great pick up for any player who's got the experience playing a deck as skill intensive as this. Kano still follows the similar reactive, combo gameplan as it always has been. Emeritus Scolding in all colours always offers above rate damage on their turn after a Kano activation. Unyielding Grip has solidified itself as staple arms equipment on defence as it still blocks above rate on an equipment. Like Blazen Yoroi but better. Despite being exceptionally difficult to pilot, Kano is a very rewarding deck for those who can find the right combination of cards through Kayo's Spellvoid in Skera Strapping. B TierBriarDespite 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. The below deck list is from before the bannings. FaiDraconic 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. Valda, BrightaxeGuardian is the naturally defensive archetype of this game. It can have some aggressively motivated play patterns, but it tends towards converting its value with efficient blocks and disruptive attacks. Valda looks to directly oppose Kayo by directly countering the draw-then-discard effects of Kayo. It does this by amassing a large number of Seismic Surges to make cards with Crush gain dominate. By forcing through this damage, and coupling it with Pummel, it can provide an aggressive overlap that even Kayo can struggle to deal with. Considering the overall aggression of the metagame, there are toolbox options in this list for most matchups, and the versatile Crash and Bash can defend even the most annoying break point, giving you ongoing value into your next turn. I'm not much of a Guardian player in CC, but I've learned to enjoy the class in Silver Age, and this would be the deck I'd sleeve up for my next event. Wrap UpThis 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.
