Awakening Bellow

Description

The 2019 WTR base set for Flesh and Blood includes Awakening Bellow as card number WTR034, a common Brute action card designed with a distinctive Rainbow Unlimited finish. This iridescent treatment sets the card apart visually from standard prints, making it a notable variant for collectors who appreciate the aesthetic diversity within the early print runs of the game. The card was illustrated by Raphael Masalimov, whose artwork complements the vibrant parallel treatment. From a gameplay perspective, Awakening Bellow is a cost-efficient option for players building Brute decks. For just one resource, players can pitch three cards to deal three defense damage while applying an intimidate effect. This effect boosts the power of the next Brute attack action played in the same turn, allowing for strategic sequencing of attacks. The "go again" ability further enhances its utility by giving the player an extra action, a key mechanic for maintaining board pressure. Collectors often seek out the Rainbow Unlimited version of this card to add a splash of color to their binder or display case. While it remains a common rarity in terms of print availability, the parallel finish elevates its visual appeal without changing its fundamental in-game role. It serves as an excellent entry point for new Flesh and Blood enthusiasts looking to understand the Brute class's aggressive playstyle. For veteran players, completing a set with the Rainbow parallel offers a satisfying visual milestone. The card's straightforward mechanics and low cost make it a staple in many offensive strategies, proving that even common cards can have significant impact.
