Ice Bolt

Ice Bolt (UPR134) was released in 2022 as part of the Uprising set for the Flesh and Blood trading card game, developed by Legend Story Studios. The set centers on the conflict between the rebel uprising in the city of Rathe and the oppressive forces of the Dracai, introducing new mechanics that emphasize elemental affinities, specifically Ice and Fire. The card design follows the game's signature aesthetic, balancing functional gameplay information with thematic illustrations that convey the high-stakes, tactical nature of the game’s combat system.

As a common card within the Uprising collection, Ice Bolt was designed primarily to support the fundamental strategies of the Iyslander hero, an Elemental Wizard who utilizes ice-based abilities to control the game state. The illustration team at Legend Story Studios sought to capture the sharp, ethereal qualities of frost magic, ensuring that the card's visual identity aligned with the cold, disruptive gameplay it provides. The card was well-received by the player base for its role in enabling consistent resource management and defensive play, becoming a staple of the Iyslander archetype.
