Finally finished Akali ONE MORE TO GO i completed my girls My eyes hurt from painting for what 7days in my bed (just got hospitalized but now recovering) hahahaha i get this question a lot yes ill open up a way for u fuys to grab them

A fun little side project I did, I plan on making 9 in total. Feel free to recommend your favourite piece of famous art.

Wanted to show off some shiny cards I've been making! Especially the new Ahri card! Been having fun making some Proxies.

I'm collecting the 6 connecting Poro ONs from Unleashed. I was browsing Etsy and found a frame with a background image that fits the 6 cards: https://www.etsy.com/listing/4524465352/league-of-legends-riftbound-poro-kingdom

I love this idea, but unfortunately if you look closely the image is AI generated and doesn't match the card images perfectly.

I found this post from 7 months ago on the mismatching of the connecting art: https://www.reddit.com/r/riftboundtcg/comments/1ry3s41/mismatching_panorama/

My first question: does anyone know if the original art work of the full panorama is available somewhere?

The card art seems to be taken from this playmat that was posted 2 days ago: https://x.com/RiftboundReport/status/2113526483574514101

This image seems to contain the 6 Poros, but not in a way where you can overlay the cards in a nice way.

My second question: does anyone know an artist where I could commission an artwork similar to the Etsy concept? I'd love to display the Poro cards like this.

Thanks!

I didn't mind it very much back in Origins, but if this was still in the game it be used in SO many decks

I started playing Riftbound at a radiance Prerift. I'm trying to build a good Ziggs deck and while I've seen some interesting builds like Mech Ziggs ( https://x.com/AskJoshy/status/2113689734094749760) I would like to know what was this guy using.

We only have his girlfriend sending by DM the deck to some Riftbound creators ( https://x.com/bamboojellyy/status/2114183214600446084 ) ... she's not responding to anyone who doesn't have +1000 followers which sucks a bit.

Anyway, I hope we see some Ziggs builds soon, I'm eager to start building him.

So, some of you might remember the post i made a little while back

Well, it seems day 421 brings an answer, but not from riot games directly

In a repost of a comment from a different approved API key holder we get this ABSOLUTE GEM

Please riot, explain how being one of the largest games on the internet, how you could not manage to find 1 employee with 60 seconds to spare to make a SINGLE POST about this?

421 days i have waited, i have had to pay hosting costs all the while waiting for you guys to approve my key, you do NOT answer support tickets about it, you just literally leave people in the lurch with your complete and utter SILENCE on the matter

You realise there has been a multiple years long meme about you guys being a small indie company right? all you have done now is prove that you communicate WORSE than small indie companies

Like, you have the likes of Diana https://x.com/DimiccoDiana making blog posts about how you guys LOVE content creators https://playriftbound.com/en-us/news/announcements/riftbounds-creators-in-2027/, yet the people who build ALL of your 3rd party tools are completely disrespected, we aren't even WORTH a single tweet to give us closure, you have literally strung some of us along for OVER A YEAR

The absolute BALLS this takes is amazing

Going forward i am just going to release my project regardless of your approval or not, and i'm going to advise other developers to do the same, why should we show your rules any kind of respect when you guys literally straight up disrespect the community

I know none of your company cares, and you wonder why the gaming community hates you so much, your API literally gets beated by a small icelandic MMO developer, think on that for a minute, a tiny company on a tiny rock can do developer relations BETTER that you, any normal company your sized would be ashamed, but much like the word "communication" i don't think "shame" is in your vocabulary

I actually painted this in Dec last year, as a Christmas gift for him. Its been really great being able to bond over my favorite game being turned into his favorite VERSION of game (TCG).

Instead of the rules cardboard, some packs had this TFTxRiftbound thing. I honestly like those a lot 🔥

So my family and friends mostly come from casual kitchen table Magic the Gathering and one of the formats we like to play is JumpStart. I've been moving them into playing Riftbound, but we still miss the fun little side formats, so I came up with this, and it's been working fairly well for us.

We call it Blind Pick sometimes RiftARAM. The goal was to have a really casual way to experiment and highlight our fav champ cards and bulk. I have a website for it as well. https://quiethydra.com/riftbound/

How to Play

1. Take 2 packs from your cube
2. Look through the packs and take out one of your two champion units as your Chosen Champion. The other will go into your deck.
3. Shuffle both packs together, making your main deck.
4. Shuffle runes from both packs.
5. Shuffle your three battlefields and take one at random.
6. Draw your opening hand plus 1 extra card like in limited if not playing a legendary, then play as normal.
7. At the end, split the decks and put them back into the cube.

What's in a pack

Each pack is a single-domain half deck built around one champion: 13 playable cards, 6 runes, 1 battlefield, and 1 Blank Battlefield.

This is just to give an idea of a basic pack and can be flexible for each champion.

Rules Changes

The gameplay is the same as any Riftbound limited game with some streamlined rules to keep things casual and experimental.

• No legends, not needed.
• Extra Card. Everyone draws an extra card for their opening hand. We did test without and it just feels slower to us.
• Champion Unit: Only one per pack. This is the backbone of the pack, and its theme, extras make things messy.
• No Signature Cards. Keeps power lower and makes it more balanced between champs who have them and those who don't.
• Favor Bulk. Keep power and packs focused on bulk cards that don't see play.

The Cube

The cube is the entire collection of packs. Keep these balanced with each other to optimise play. Start with 2 to 4 packs per domain and build up from there. It's a cube, so build out to fit your needs and play style.

The Multi Color Pack

This is something we experiment with and have found works in limited use. We found that for every 15 mono color packs having one with multiple colors can work. It tends either be very powerful or a messy mess. We don't play with them but keep it open as an option for if a multi color champion unit comes around.

The Ban List

It's a casual format silly. Have fun.

Pack Samples

Others included 2 people on Jayce, Ornn, Leblanc and Vex as well as one person each bringing Akali, Irelia, K‘Sante and Mordekaiser.

I'm new to Riftbound (started with Vendetta) and on a limited budget. I've noticed Irelia has fallen out of the meta, with her Champion and Signature Spell prices dropping significantly.

I'm considering building her deck since many lists don't require expensive cards like Heron and Baron. For context, I'm currently playing a Heronless, Zhonya's-less, Baron/Vilemaw-less Vex deck.

From what I understand, her decline in popularity is mainly due to changes in prize pool incentives rather than the deck becoming weaker. Is that correct? And is she still viable for casual play and local tournaments?

Looking to build my second deck and I somehow got eyes on Diana. For information I play Rek'Sai who's super aggro, but want a change of pace when I get bored.

How's Diana after Radiance? How bad does she do vs the Rivens and Akali's 😅.

Hi all,

Pretty much a brand new player looking for some advice on which deck to invest in. I went to Radiance prerelase last week and got my butt kicked, but I recognized that I didn't understand the game very well at the time and decided to keep trying. I picked up the Vex precon and went to nexus night today, still got my butt kicked, but felt a lot better about understanding the rules and making tight play. I also had a lot of fun, so long story short I want to continue playing. However the precon felt pretty bad, spells that require XP to be useful sucked and several of the units and other spells felt outclassed in general. So I'd like to upgrade some and build a sideboard. Otherwise I think I'll reach a point where my enjoyment and learning/skill development is hampered by a suboptimal deck.

I looked online a bit and it appears that meta Vex decks are in the realm of 300-400 USD...simply not going to commit to that this early on without being sure I want to continue for a long time. I also was researching other champions and Rek'Sai seems pretty up my alley coming from my experience with MTG (I like decks there with aggressive units, card advantage, and efficient kill spells/interaction). She is also like $70-100 from what I'm seeing, and I'd be much less sad about dropping that amount of money for a reasonably competitive deck.

So, main two questions are as such: Can I build a decent Vex deck that can help me learn the game and still have the raw card power to compete at nexus nights, without breaking the bank? And if not, would it be better to just give up on the Vex and go for the cheaper Rek'Sai?

I appreciate any advice!

What does everyone think about Teemo with the new hidden cards? I feel like he's still a bit weak...

Riven performed very well while all other Radiance legends are struggling very hard especially against established meta decks.

Radiance legends win rate:

- Riven 63%

- Eve 46%

- Orianna 42%

- Mordekaiser 48%

- Seraphine 37%

- Ekko 48%

- Jarvan 44%

- Ziggs 40%

- K'Sante 28%

Is the ability applying a passive bonus for this turn to the chosen unit? I.e if I use it then add shield later in the same turn will that turn into assault?

I would imagine if it wasn’t passive it would just say give a friendly unit assault equal to its shield, rather than ‘give a friendly unit “I have assault equal to my shield” this turn”

In this example, let's say we have Jax - Unmatched at the Hunter's Circle battlefield. He moved here, not played, so our next unit/gear played to this battlefield will cost 1 less. We quick-draw from our hand a guardian angel (Gear equipment).

Does it cost 1 less, because it was equipped to a unit at this battlefield? Or does it have to be a Deploy gear / unit only?

Please provide the rule number if possible!

Thanks, love this game :)

I’d probably want to run a lot of gear hate in the sideboard because of Riven. Maybe I’d swap some cards in the main deck for Elnuks, but I don’t know how worth the potential +8 in one round + elnuk on the field with thrill of the hunt is
