The Flesh and Blood World Tour is the best TCG organised play circuit on the market! With $1,500,000 USD up for grabs in hundreds of events across the globe, we urge players to travel the world, make new friends, and play great games for huge cash prizes! Scott Mines breaks down what happened in June, and what's coming up in July...
Psssst.
Yeah, you. You wanna play some card games?
Thankfully, I’ve got just the thing for that. Flesh and Blood is positively booming in the wake of High Seas and its robust season of National Championship events, yet somehow the best is still yet to come. Tommaso Viscido sending Nuu, Alluring Desire to Living Legend? Majin Bae as the face of the United States? Nah, you ain’t seen nothing yet.
The World Tour marches into July with the promise of nailbiters, prize fighters, and a... beach party? It’s sun, sights, and sandy sleeves that await every member of the community duking it out for their share of $1,500,000 USD. The price we pay to earn World Tour Points, right? Unbelievable.
If you want a slice of everything nice, you’ll need the what and when. Shall we catch up with what’s going on across the Flesh and Blood World Tour?
What Happened in June?
The 2025 National Championship season dominated the headlines in June as 47 countries broke out in competition to crown a new champion. The festivities began with Majin Bae putting the world on tree watch in the United States as he toppled the opposition with Verdance, Thorn of the Rose—but the story began to ebb and flow as our other champions stepped up.
Calling: Bologna would play a role in reshaping the format forever. Gabe Sher and I had the pleasure of calling the action as Italy’s own Tommaso Viscido put the nail in the coffin of the most mysterious Assassin in Rathe. Nuu, Alluring Desire would no longer play a part in the story of Singapore, and she wouldn’t be warping further National Championships either.
Thus began the dance of the dead and the Draconic urge to smite it. New challenger Gravy Bones, Shipwrecked Looter looks to continue his impressive showing immediately following their release, but Cindra, Dracai of Retribution would prefer to burn those dreams down to ash. The Hunted’s Draconic Ninja currently leads the charge for number of National Championships won with just one week to go. Will she remain top dog when the smoke finally clears?
World Tour Leaderboard
July marks the halfway point of our journey towards the first ever Player of the Year. $100,000 will be shared between top placing competitors from each region at the conclusion of the 2025 World Championship. The eventual winner will secure $25,000, while the two highest placing competitors from each other regions will take home a cool $15,000.
Even better, every player who manages a podium finish in their respective region will be walking away with a stack of cash. A silver medal is worth $10,000 and a bronze nets you $5,000. So, who is still in the running for all this prize money?

In Europe, Alex Chițu and our newfound Assassin-slayer Tommaso Viscido are the main players making moves. While Pablo Pintor and Jacob Trossing are holding firm, Chițu is now one strong finish from stealing the lead from resident countryman Jacob Clements. If only there was a National Championship for them to fight each other at or something.
There’s a battle of the titans taking place in the Asia-Pacific region. Nick Butcher hasn’t been able to grow his lead this month, allowing former Hong Kong Regional Champion Pudding Tam to close the gap to a single point! Just behind them stands formidable Illusionist Thanthawat “Vespa” Chujitngamsuwong, who will no doubt be looking to stake his claim to fame at Pro Tour: Singapore.
Brodie Spurlock still controls the throne stateside, but the Canadian contingent has something to say about it. Newfound National Champion Jordan Jalbert-Ross has entered the fray alongside notable Stroopwafel enjoyer Yuki Lee Bender, Shawn Dhaliwal, and Jimmy Niro Demers to cement the country as a force to be reckoned with. Make no mistake, the race is more than alive.
All of this adds up to a global leaderboard that tells quite the story. Spurlock, Hamilton, and Clements are comfortably the names to beat, but the chasing pack is growing day by day. With two of the biggest events of the year yet to come, anybody in the top 50 could realistically have a shot at being immortalized in Flesh and Blood history.
Events in July
If you’re looking for World Tour Points, Gold Foil promos, or a taste of tropical paradise, the Flesh and Blood World Tour is the place to be this July. Battle Hardened events in Bucharest and Kuala Lumpur serve as a warmup down the road to the biggest party of the summer—World Tour: Singapore.
Pro Tour: Singapore
Set sail to Southeast Asia! The seventh Flesh and Blood Pro Tour features the tropical delights of Resorts World, Sentosa as an idyllic backdrop to the most competitive games in the world. A comforting bowl of Bak Kut Teh after competing for $175,000 in prize money? There’s just no better way to do it.
The biggest names in the game will wrestle with the intricacies of High Seas Booster Draft and the wave of changes in Classic Constructed as they look to become our next Pro Tour Champion. Will Pablo Pintor manage the three-peat? Will a hometown hero dominate the headlines? You’ll have to tune in if you want to find out.
Pro Tour: Singapore takes place between July 17-20. Just to double down, it’s being hosted in a luxury resort right next to Universal Studios. It’s a very literal Treasure Island and I’m so irrationally jealous.
Calling: Singapore
If you can be swayed away from the towering shopping metropolis for long enough, World Tour: Singapore also features an open entry Calling and Battle Hardened. Between them, we’ll see players competing for over $30,000 in prize money, highly coveted PTIs, and fresh Gold Foil envelopes.
Calling: Singapore features a taste of Classic Constructed, while the Battle Hardened will allow World Championship competitors to begin their Living Legend grind against those who prefer a finer vintage.
Fifty internet points if you take a winner’s photo heading down one of the giant slides at Adventure Cove Waterpark.
Singapore Beach Party
A special call out for this one. If you’re attending World Tour: Singapore, you’ll also have the unique opportunity to roll up to a beach club with Legend Story Studios staff and crush drinks like opponents until two in the morning.
Food, drink, and entertainment are all provided for partygoers, so grab your bikinis and beach shorts, and make a proper holiday of your trip. You’ll even be gifted a commemorative beach towel and a High Seas Treasure Pack upon your arrival. You’re practically guaranteed to find lost treasure. Probably.
Battle Hardened: Bucharest
The Rumble in Romania is almost upon us! Battle Hardened: Bucharest offers Pro Tour players a vital chance to stress-test their Classic Constructed decks against the diehard fans of Eastern Europe on July 12; less than one week before the big dance begins.
With $2,000 USD and a pair of PTIs on the line, it’s almost too easy to overlook the vibrant boulevards of “Little Paris”. Bucharest is Romania’s primary cultural and commercial hotspot, offering a scenic retreat amongst historical monuments if the tournament doesn’t break your way. Make time in your schedule to visit Bram Castle. It’s not every day you get to meet Dracula!
Battle Hardened: Kuala Lumpur
The World Tour returns to the ravenous player base of Malaysia for another opportunity at international glory. Much like Bucharest, $2,000 USD and a pair of PTIs await those brave enough to challenge local powerhouses like Mikko Penna and Carlo Ople. Classic Constructed will be the name of the game here on July 12—one more chance to figure out your hero for World Tour: Singapore.
Malaysia has long been on my list of places to visit but I’ve not yet managed it. Between the Batu Caves, Petronas Twin Towers, and a bustling shopping district, there’s no end of things to do. I’m desperate to explore Kopitiam coffee shop culture and the vast variety of street foods. If you’re lucky enough to do so, send me some pictures so I can live vicariously through you!
