Mastery Pack Assassin releases in local game stores today, Friday, November 13, 2026, alongside Armory Deck: Dr. Mortimer. Legend Story Studios published its official Mastery Pack Assassin guide on November 12, confirming the set hits shelves worldwide today with a new Assassin hero, Dr. Mortimer, Blight of the Pits, and a new cure mechanic.
It is the first Flesh and Blood release since the World Championship in Paris, where Jamoulle won the Worlds title, and it follows the Paris keynote where Flesh and Blood revealed its 2027 sets. There is no Flesh and Blood hub page on Tap Draw Roll yet, so this post links those two stories directly.

When does Mastery Pack Assassin release?
It releases today, Friday, November 13, 2026, at local game stores across the world. Legend Story Studios timed its official guide for release day, and Skirmish Season 16, the Silver Age in store season the set feeds into, starts tomorrow, Saturday, November 14.
Who is Dr. Mortimer, and what is the cure mechanic?
Dr. Mortimer is a twisted doctor who spreads diseases, then cures them and collects his payment in Silver. As Mortimer, the main line is creating disease tokens, the three diseases in the set are Frailty, Inertia and Bloodrot Pox, which disrupt the opponent and slow them down, then stacking up Silver to fuel powerful, wide turns.
The guide stresses timing: wait until the opponent tries to end their turn before you cure a disease, so you only cure diseases that are no longer hurting them, and do not activate his first ability if you plan to use his second ability next turn, because he stays tapped until the end of your own turn.
What formats does Mastery Pack Assassin support?
It supports four ways to play, from three booster packs with no deckbuilding to the game’s main competitive format. The three featured heroes are Dr. Mortimer, Arakni and Uzuri, and every hero in the set uses Spider’s Bite daggers.
| Format | How it works |
|---|---|
| Crack, Shuffle, Play | Open 3 packs, remove the last 3 cards from each, shuffle the rest into a 30 card deck and play |
| Booster Draft | 4 players draft from 3 packs each, passing left, then right, then left |
| Silver Age | Young heroes using only common, rare and basic cards |
| Classic Constructed | New Legendary and Majestic support plus reprints such as Blacktek Whisperers and Persuasive Prognosis |
How much does it cost, and what does the Armory Deck add?
A 12 pack display carries a $64.90 MSRP, with 13 cards per pack in the slots the product copy lists: 9 commons, 1 rare or Majestic, 1 equipment, 1 token and 1 token or higher, rainbow foil or cold foil slot. One caution on the numbers: that same product copy lists rarity counts that add up to 160 cards, not the stated 157 card total, and Legend Story Studios has not reconciled the two figures in the copy we read, so treat the rarity split as approximate.
Armory Deck: Dr. Mortimer, out the same day, is a ready to play 60 card Classic Constructed deck plus weapon and equipment cards, built around the same new hero. The guide’s advice is direct: pick up the Armory Deck alongside packs from Mastery Pack Assassin and you have everything you need to compete in Armory Events at a local game store, which makes the deck the practical entry point and the packs the upgrade path.
