Bloodspill Invocation

Description

The Bloodspill Invocation, designated as ARC107, is a foundational common card from the initial ARC set released in 2020 for the Flesh and Blood trading card game. Designed by Wirawan Pranoto, this Runeblade Action serves as a critical resource engine for players seeking to accelerate their board presence. As a first-edition print, it holds specific appeal among collectors who focus on the genesis of the ARC set's diverse character roster and mechanical innovations. In gameplay, Bloodspill Invocation is highly regarded for its efficiency. Priced at a single mana, the card allows the Runeblade player to pitch two cards and gain the Go again ability, enabling them to execute another action during the same turn. This flexibility is particularly potent when paired with attack actions that hit, as the card's secondary effect creates two Runechant tokens upon its destruction. These tokens provide significant mana acceleration, a core resource mechanic in Flesh and Blood. Conversely, the card must be destroyed if the player takes damage, adding a layer of strategic risk that defines its tactical niche. Collectors of Flesh and Blood often seek out first-edition cards like Bloodspill Invocation to complete set milestones or to appreciate the early design philosophy of the ARC expansion. Owning a first-edition copy connects the holder to the historical context of the game's launch, distinguishing it from later printings. For those building a comprehensive collection of ARC parallels and base set cards, this 1st Edition variant represents an essential component of the Runeblade class's early identity.
