Rake the Embers

Rake the Embers is a common-rarity action card featured in the Uprising expansion set for the Flesh and Blood trading card game, released by Legend Story Studios in June 2022. The set was designed to explore the volatile political and social climate of the city of Rathe, specifically focusing on the conflict between the oppressed denizens of the Arsenia region and the oppressive Draconic regime. As a mechanical component, this card supports the Draconic Ninja class, leaning into the set's signature 'Draconic' mechanic which rewards players for playing multiple red-colored cards in a single turn.

The visual identity of the Uprising set was curated by the artistic team at Legend Story Studios, who leaned into a vibrant, fiery aesthetic to match the pyromaniac themes of the Dromai character and her draconic allies. Rake the Embers utilizes the stylized, high-fantasy illustration style consistent with the game's overall brand identity, emphasizing dynamic movement and the elemental forces of heat and ash. Upon release, the card was well-received by players for its efficiency in Limited formats, serving as a functional staple that exemplified the game's design philosophy of fast-paced, resource-sensitive combat.
