Introduction

From March 21st to March 23rd, Brazil hosted its first competitive Flesh and Blood event, the World Tour Sao Paulo or Calling: Sao Paulo, and I was there to see everything up close!

Today, I'll share this experience with you all, so we all know what to expect from the upcoming events and competitive seasons.

What is a Calling?

There are many competitive Flesh and Blood events. Some are more competitive, and some less. They can range from the weekly Armory at a local game store (the most casual events) to the World Championship (the most competitive event of the year).

The Battle Hardened Top 8
The Battle Hardened Top 8

This Top 8 was identical to the Calling Top 8, but some heroes stand out, namely Vynnset, Dash I/O, Jarl, and Dorinthea.

The Finals were between Jarl (piloted by João Foltran) and Aurora (piloted by João Zeni). Jarl ended up winning, so congratulations João Foltran for the win and the excellent deck choice. This hero was a true counter for this Aurora meta.

What We Can Expect for the Pro Quest and Pro Tour

The Calling: Sao Paulo wasn't the only competitive event of the season, but its highly competitive level is a great example of how the metagame is progressing and what we can expect for the next events. Namely, Pro Tour London, and the Singapore Pro Quest season.

Aurora In the Spotlight

After Viserai, Rune Blood reached Living Legend status, many players believed Aurora, Shooting Star would fill in his shoes. And they were right.

Her consistent hands and attacks that are incredibly annoying to block are not her only strengths. This list has everything an aggressive deck wants: ways to deal damage easily, consistent ways to get Go Again, anti-fatigue tools, and excellent blocks whenever you do need to block.

With strong interactions, like Sigil of Suffering (1) and Channel Lightning Valley, her specialization, Arc Lightning, and her Armory Deck support, Aurora has everything to remain the best deck in Classic Constructed. However, with great powers, come many Living Legend points, and we can all see how she is rapidly ascending to this status. She might even hit it before Nationals.

Aggressive Decks Try To Keep Up

Aurora is clearly the best aggressive deck in the format, but a few other aggro lists are trying to find some space in the meta. Cindra, Dracai of Retribution was promising as the ) || 1 Codex of Frailty">Loading icon

Nuu is one of the most disruptive heroes in the format, and can present real threats to more aggressive decks, as it can remove cards from your opponent's hand and deck. Bonds of Agony, Persuasive Prognosis, Just a Nick, and Siren's Call are just a few of the many options this Assassin has to beat this meta.
