Barkbone Strapping

Description

Released in 2019 as part of the WTR (War of the Realms) expansion, the Barkbone Strapping card holds a specific place within the Flesh and Blood trading card game ecosystem. This card is identified by the catalog number WTR005 and is categorized as a Common rarity item. However, the version presented here features the Unlimited Rainbow parallel treatment, a distinctive finish that sets it apart from standard printings and appeals to collectors seeking visually unique variants. Designed by artist Ksenia Belova, this piece represents the aesthetic direction of the early WTR era. From a gameplay perspective, Barkbone Strapping functions as Brute Equipment - Chest with a Defense value of 1. The card’s ability allows players to roll a six-sided die, gaining red mana equal to half the number rolled, rounded down. This mechanic introduces an element of chance to resource management, making the card a functional tool for Brute decks while also serving as a collectible artifact for enthusiasts of the game’s early history. The Rainbow parallel finish adds a layer of visual interest, transforming a functional game piece into a display-worthy item for serious hobbyists. Collectors often target this parallel to complete their WTR Rainbow sets or to acquire high-quality examples of early Flesh and Blood cards. The combination of the iconic WTR set, the specific card number, and the rare rainbow treatment makes this a notable entry for those tracking the evolution of the game’s design and mechanics. Whether used in play or preserved as part of a curated collection, the Barkbone Strapping Rainbow parallel stands as a tangible piece of Flesh and Blood history.
