This inaugural event kicked off in Queenstown, New Zealand on January 19, 2024 ahead of a $20,000 Calling tournament. The tournament consisted of two days of mixed format play, three rounds of Heavy Hitters Blitz Preconstructed format, three rounds of Heavy Hitters Classic Constructed, and three rounds of Living Legend format play. In the end, Brodie Spurlock (playing Lexi, Livewire) defeated Kelvin Law (playing Bravo, Star of the Show) to capture the title.
“Everyone in the Flesh and Blood community brings something different to the table," said James White, Legend Story Studios Founder and CEO. "To show how proud we are of our community and to acknowledge Flesh and Blood entering its fifth year, the Celebrational brought together a truly exceptional guest list of esteemed FAB celebrities and local community superstars to Queenstown in honor of the countless ways people contribute and bring amazing energy to the international Flesh and Blood family."
Heavy Hitters will hit stores on February 2, 2024 and will feature the brand-new Gauntlets of Iron Will card (see "Card Spoiler").
