Withstand

Withstand was released in 2022 as part of the Dynasty expansion for the Flesh and Blood trading card game, designed by Legend Story Studios. As a common rarity instant, the card was integrated into the set to provide players with a defensive utility tool that functions outside the traditional action phase. The Dynasty set was crafted to celebrate the game's cultural influences and mechanical depth, aiming to expand the options for players in a competitive environment where timing and resource management are paramount.

The aesthetic of the card aligns with the high-fantasy, martial arts-inspired art direction synonymous with the Flesh and Blood brand. Illustrators for the series work to evoke a sense of physical struggle and tactical endurance, with the artwork for Withstand intended to visually represent the card's mechanical function of shrugging off incoming damage. Upon its release, the card became a staple within the card pool for limited play formats, noted by the community for its straightforward utility and effective design.
