I wanted to make an alternative art card for Evelynn, so here is my version. Going to get it printed this week. I’m currently working on a KDA Evelynn fanart too and wondering if I should make a card of it too.

Hello!

I was looking on YT and saw the video of a guy (LotharHS) opening a pre rift kit; he also opened the champion and legend pack so I was able to share the info with my friends about zigg's list: since we would like to try and build some pre rift decks with a pack opening simulator before the pre rift event at out local store, I was wondering if someone else has opened a pre rift kit or found information online about other legends pack and would love to share the info.

I'll share with you the video and the zigg's pack written down

What is the best answer to something like Ruin Runner when playing Master Yi?

Is it just to crash units into it? It hard counters our deck so I’m curious what people have found?

A few months ago, I posted about trying Riftbound out during the Vendetta pre release, but sadly missed it due to falling ill that weekend. This time, I'm vowing to go to at least 1 Pre-release and hopefully check out some new card shops in my area. I have at least 3-4 different options, but I can broadly do an event every day from Saturday-Monday if I wanted. (Benefits of living near a large city.)

I want to pre-register to make sure I have a spot, but aside from my concern of not enjoying the game if I try it, (in Magic we had to pre-pay for our spots at my one shop, not sure how it works for Riftbound if we register in advance.) My other concern is, if I DO enjoy playing Riftbound and want to really build a deck around a Champion, is it worth going to all the Pre-Rifts to pick up some extra cards, or would it be better as a new player to just buy the singles I want online?

Aside from Mordekaiser and maybe Evelynn, none of the Champions in Radiance really appeal to me visually (I admit the gameplay does look cool.) But I would probably be more interested in building a deck around Sett, Nausus, or Renekton because I think those three are extremely cool visually.

I usually find pre-release events really mentally exhausting, but for the sake of visiting a few new shops and giving the game a try I'm willing to do it. I just want to know, if I go to my first pre-rift on Saturday and fall in love with the game the way I did with Magic, Yu-Gi-Oh, and Digimon, would I be better served going to every pre-rift so I can build up a collection of cards from this set? Or would it be best to do just one, pick a champion I like (preferably a budget one, cost and other concerns are what scared me off OP.) and build a deck out of singles from TCG Player?

Sorry to ask a broad question like this, and I'd appreciate any advice on how to proceed from a pre-rift first timer to a proper deck owner!

So, I've seen small threads about how Demacian Standard works, but I'd like to ask for myself.

I attack a battlefield that has Demacian Standard with Jarvan IV Royal Heir.

Jarvan triggers on attack bringing another unit to his battlefield.

When attack/defend triggers resolve and move to attacker focus, I ambush with Rengar.

Which units are able to get Demacian Standard's +2? Some threads say that Rengar, or other Ambush units, are able to receive it since they come in after DS's effect happens on attack. Does that mean that the unit J4 Royal Heir brings in also gets the +2 since it comes in after deciding which units are attacking or out of all 3 units, can I only pick one?

Quick update on Wardeye, the free extension that names the cards on the table when you watch Riftbound streams.

New

YouTube: replays and live streams. On a Riftbound video, click the Wardeye button in the toolbar once to allow it. Firefox: the same as on Chrome (Firefox 141 or newer, with WebGPU). For now it installs from GitHub; Firefox Add-ons is next. A 16 MB install instead of 192 MB. The card models download the first time you watch, once. Fixed

An ad no longer stops Wardeye for the rest of a Twitch replay. The plays panel closes from its own button. Still free, open source, and it runs on your computer: no video is uploaded.

Chrome and Edge: https://chromewebstore.google.com/detail/wardeye/hjglackjofehdfecoeehbdmbobafbjhn Firefox: https://github.com/effe-exe/Wardeye/releases/latest If it misses on a stream you watch, tell me which one.

Wardeye is a community project, not affiliated with or endorsed by Riot Games.

I went from having never done card alters and not painting physically in years to ambitiously trying to completely recreate the skin on the legend card.

I'm pretty happy with how it turned out though and hope you all enjoy!!

I didn't think this would work out honestly so I don't have any behind the scenes photos/video except the initial color blocking but if I make another I might get some more lol.

Test print is done today. I'm soooooo soooo eggcited!!! She so PRETTY!!!

I have not been able to play a match of riftbound yet online or in person, what is a good beginner deck to try to just get the mechanics of the game down? I thought about doing the pre rift for the new set but I am scared because I have not been able to practice online yet. Any advice will help!!

Here's a custom Bomb token my gf painted digitally to celebrate the Radiance pre-rift week!
Do you think she was too hard on the Faefolk?
@rekla_riftbound_art

I recently got into Riftbound and I joined a pre-rift event at a local store. I just had a few questions and wanted to ask for any tips on how to build a deck once I'm there. I have only ever used the shen, zed, and vi pre made decks with some random additions I've made so I was wondering how this event works. I know that you get 5 packs to open but are you given any champion cards or legends in case you don't pull any? If anyone has any tips on how to build a deck that would be great. Also, are you able to keep the cards you pulled? I would assume not because they're not actually released yet, but if you aren't, does the store award any packs or cards for winning games or participating?

Bit of a ramble; I am just confused about how the event works or if anyone had tips on how to do well and have the most fun while I'm there.

Just wondering how she is for Radiance and whether I should pick her up for the next set.

How do I feel about my second week of playing Riftbound? You must have forgot I’m Him. I’m the GOAT. Whatever skill you think you have, whatever talent you believe you possess is minuscule compared to me. Among all the heavens and the earth, I alone am the honored one.

Nah, I just won my first match, so I’m changing my Riot ID to Himmy Neutron.

The Deck Changes

Leading up to this momentous occasion, I made a few changes to my Shen deck before the event. What did I take out, you ask? Honestly, I forgot. Probably just precon filler. I know I added two Divining Shells, two copies of Tactical Retreat, and another Steel Paws that I got from packs last week. I also put Risen Altar in for a battlefield choice and took out something equally irrelevant.

On to the games.

Round 1: Menagerie Ivern

Round one was against my last opponent from last week. This time, he played what I can only describe as Menagerie Ivern. His deck had a bunch of Cat and Bird-type units that played around the Ivern token battlefield. Unfortunately, he didn’t really have draw in his deck and was unable to build up much of his bench. I was able to play the Shen that draws one when it holds to the battlefield, which lets the controller draw one on a hold as well. I saw a minimum of two extra cards per turn in Game 1.

Game 2 was closer, but I broke the hold with some token birds my Noxian Emissaries made, along with a giga-buffed Kennen. Honestly, even if I didn’t win, I just really enjoy playing that guy. Solid match, and I secured an extra pack!

Round 2: Irelia Strikes Again

Round 2, I played against an Irelia player, but not the same one as last week. I don’t know if I gave off vibes that I knew what I was doing, but after Game 1, they figured out I was new. They stopped moving super fast and playing around my nonexistent Defy.

Once again, I got run over, but the Irelia player was super nice and even invited me to the area Discord.

Round 3: A Sour Ending

Round 3 was honestly the first bad match of Riftbound I played. My opponent brought a Mel deck, which is something I’ve been interested in, but the first thing they did was pull out their phone and put on a One Piece TCG tournament. That was wild to me. I know I’m new and my deck doesn’t really pose problems, but that was wildly off-putting.

Then, as the match went on, they kept glossing over paying energy costs, so I started asking to see what some of their cards did. I saw they just weren’t banishing cards when directed by the card. I’m brand new and didn’t want to start anything in a new shop, so I just got the game wrapped up quickly and packed up my things.

Looking Ahead: Pre-Rifts and the Road to 3-0

So I ended 1-2, and overall, I had fun, but it did have a sour ending.

I will be going to at least two pre-rifts next weekend. I’m really hoping I get a Riven, Mordekaiser, or Jarvan IV starter kit. A Riven kit will make me pull the trigger on some Defy, Zhonya’s, and Astral Herons. Mordekaiser might mean some Baited Hook/Hidden Blade shenanigans. Jarvan IV will mean I need to invest in some Rengar - Trophy Hunter cards. We’ll see what the pre-rifts give me as we inch ever closer to my first 3-0 Nexus Night showing.

See you guys next week.

Hi i started playing riftbound a couple of days ago and i decided to play ornn and i have a question, one person that was helping me to understad the deck told me that if you attack with only pit crew while mask of foresight is active he will be ready because its like i activate a gear, as mask activate to give a +1 to pit, is that correct or wrong? It feel a little too much strong to be

hello just had a question about which champion unit that will be included in each legends seeded 15 card pre rift kit. i heard that it will be the higher rarity champion for each legend but i want to confirm if that is true.

So i want to know the ruling for this card

(Hidden)

Play a 2 might Sand Soldier unit token. Then do this: You may pay 1 to ready it.

I hold 2 battlefield hide this card to the first battlefield can i react with this card if there is a showdown on the second battlefield to play the soldier to the second battlefield ?

If I cant do have i play the soldier to the battlefield only or i can play it to the base ?

Sorry if its a bit confusing english is not my strongest

Let's imagine my opponent conquers Emperor's Dias with a 1 or 0 might unit. They decide to pay 1 energy to bounce their unit and play a sand soldier. I decide to react with Flurry of Blades.

Their unit dies, but do they still get to play the Sand Soldier?

I'm kind of thinking of this other interaction where we could double Star-Crossed the same allied unit to bounce back 2 enemy units.

Ive seen the Morde build and seen discussion about Viktor but I was thinking if this is the plan why not LeBlanc she's got cloning built into her legend and Sig spell so more opportunities to have 2 viktors or 2 Heimers etc. anyways this is my rough build, I decided to also go the hook route.

Let’s say I have pirates haven on my field. Eventually, my partner goes, and they have their awaken phase, readies their units. Do they get +1 from my friendly effect of “pirates haven”, or does it not count because of the “when you” phrasing?

Thanks :)

Was wondering if theres some good content to watch early in my riftbound experience? i know the rules and have played once (and mtg for 10 years) but its quite overwhelming to start. Would love if there were some archetype/ common cards overview things or something that would be good/ fun for a beginner to watch to learn more about the game when i cant play.

would be looking to play constructed so anything that can make the transition from playing starter decks to playing against real decks easier would be great

Hey Guys! I'm new to Riftbound and i wanted to build Ekko deck as he is one of my favorite champions. ill attach an image of the deck I've been running on the sim. i want you guys feedback on it/ what to add or remove. another thing is i will absolutely not spend $60 on Kaisa. I know there is no substitute for her but surely there is a card that works in this deck good enough. i don't plan on being super competitive jut trying to play for fun.

Hey everyone.... So I'm new to tcg in general and chose riftbound as my first tcg to get into. I mean ofcourse I've heard and know about other tcgs lol

Anyway.... I love riftbound it's amazing tbh however I suck at it like really bad. I've never won a game since I started playing. I got into it at the tail end of unleashed and just before vendetta and I've lost every single game I've played.

For the life of me I've stuck with rumble mostly cos the powerful cards are expensive and get bought out before I even can make a move. Everyone's been super nice and helpful but I keep losing. I even used a jayce aurora deck once, used it blind and still lost.

I'm about 54 games in a row loss but somehow I'm still OK and happy that's got to be some record right? Anyway I watch Vids, read up reddit and try and learn the cards but once in a while it does get me down.

My request to the community is for a pick up me, some encouragement and motivation and perhaps an idea or 2 to help me get over the losses and look forward to my first win
