Push Forward

Push Forward was released in 2020 as part of the Crucible of War expansion for the Flesh and Blood trading card game, developed by Legend Story Studios. As the game's first supplemental set, Crucible of War was designed to expand the depth of existing classes and introduce new tactical options, specifically focusing on the warrior and ninja archetypes that utilize combat chain mechanics. The card acts as a generic action, allowing players to build efficiency in their attack strings, reflecting the set's intent to refine the foundational combat loop of the game.

The card features the clean, functional aesthetic characteristic of Flesh and Blood's early design language, prioritizing legibility and thematic coherence within the game's high-fantasy setting. The illustration serves to emphasize the aggressive, forward-momentum nature of the game’s combat system. Upon its release, it was received as a versatile common, valued by players for its ability to extend turn sequences and maintain pressure on opponents in competitive play.
