Hey all! Today preorders for Riftbound product go up on our website, and I wanted to make sure folks had the Proving Grounds decklists before you decided to order (if that mattered to you). We'll get these up on our How to Play article soon!

Today I get to share with you all these #riftboundreveals! As many of you know, I've been fortunate enough to consult on the game since very early on, so I've seen a bunch of iterations of a lot of cards. Let me just say that "Blizzard your team" Anivia is a lot more fun than "Never dies" Anivia was

A Riftbound card named Gemcraft Seer. It is a Calm Card that costs 3 energy and 1 power. It has 3 Might. It is a Mount Targon Unit. It has Vision, and gives your Other friendly units Vision. Vision is a keyword that says "When you play me, look at the top card of your main deck. You may recycle it". The flavor text reads: The light changes with every reflection.

Things are now crystal clear. Whether you need a little bit of filtering or a backline advantage engine, Gemcraft Seer has you covered!

A Riftbound card named Eclipse Herald. It is a Calm Unit that Costs 7 Energy and 1 Power. It is a Mount Targon and Bird Typed unit. It has the ability "When you stun a Unit, ready me and give me +1 Might this turn". The flavor text is "An Omen as terrifying as that which follows".

Early in working on Stun as a mechanic for Riftbound we found it to be really interesting as a combat trick. It was a lot like a localized "Fog" effect- it could stop an Enemy Unit from dealing Damage, really tilting complex fights in your favor.

Image of the Riftbound card Eager Apprentice. It is a 3-cost 3-Might unit in the blue Mind domain.

Its rules text reads "While I'm at a battlefield, the Energy costs for spells you play is reduced by 1 Energy, to a minimum of 1."

Its flavor text reads, "As long as these thirty-seven things go right, it'll work every time!"

My second and final Riftbound preview card is Eager Apprentice!

This card's flavor text is a perfect encapsulation of me trying to pilot my Kai'Sa spells deck. Also, this card is quite good in a Kai'Sa spells deck!

(Maybe it's a coincidence... maybe it's narrative design)

Hey, I get to finally talk about a card from #Riftbound Origins and... it's Garbage! But like, in a good way.

Garbage Grabber is an odd card since it isn't tightly tied to any Legend. Origins has cards that aren't shy about which deck they belong in - but we also want some puzzles for you to solve!

Banner image with the new card Block for the Riftbound TCG. It is a green Calm spell that costs 2 and reads:
Hidden (Hide now for any Power to react with later for 0 Energy.)
Action (Play on your turn or in showdowns.)
Give a unit Shield 3 and Tank this turn. (+3 Might while it's a defender. It must be assigned combat damage first.)

For my first Riftbound Origins preview card, a little rules talk! Although my main job on the team is narrative, I have TCG editing experience as well, so I've been moonlighting as an editor. There's no blocking in our game, but we do have Block, a combat trick.

We should have you play it! If youโ€™re in LA anytime soon Iโ€™d be happy to teach you

Thank you for bringing this to our attention, and for your patience. Weโ€™re genuinely excited for you to get your hands on the game soon. (And again, this is NOT an April Foolโ€™s joke!) (6/6)

Together with our partner UVS Games, weโ€™ll make sure this corrected information reaches our distributors and retailers as well. But we also wanted to keep players in the loop! (5/6)

When it comes to the alt art cards, on average, there are more than 2 special alt art cards appearing in every box, instead of once per case. (4/6)

When it comes to booster packs, there are actually 2 foil Rares or better, 1 foil of any rarity, and 1 token slot in each deck. The previous information was ambiguous and just said 3 foils, so we wanted to give more specifics there. (3/6)

01.04.2025 20:53 โ€” ๐Ÿ‘ 8    ๐Ÿ” 1    ๐Ÿ’ฌ 1    ๐Ÿ“Œ 0

Weโ€™ve realized there were some errors in the information we shared (apologies!), specifically regarding the spread within a booster pack. (2/6)

Hi friends! We saw the discussions yesterday about the cost of the game based on the booster content in Riftbound, and we want to take a moment to set the record straight. NOT AN APRIL FOOLS JOKE (1/6)

Weโ€™ll be a bit heads down now while we work on getting our first set, Origins ready. Weโ€™ll be back soon with more news, card reveals, and fun surprises. Weโ€™ll also be at Riot and tabletop events this year, so come find us for a chance to play Riftbound! Thanks, and see you soon! (3/4)
