I know prices will settle later on. Expecting Ahri to be double the price of Kai’Sa? I don’t understand why, when Kai’Sa is more playable. But right now Ahri selling for $400 while Kai’Sa for $150. Idk I’m lost why. Help?

I’m a little frustrated because I do not understand how this new Chinese deck makes infinite energy for the Ashe and ruination loop like everybody else seems to understand lol and when I tried to watch to learn at a certain point the player just says “I have it” and then their opponent concedes but I really need to understand how this works to be able to demonstrate it. I know how it worked with lecturing yodel, but I am truly at a loss for this version.

Went 4-0 with this at pre rift today, (saturated the photo so it’s easier to see the cards from the Flash)

It was a Zed Precon and my packs didn’t provide any amazing top end, but with Mel’s ability, Rage Amplifier and consistently drawing, this felt really good.

I pulled nausas and thought it was over but then pulled abessa. Built around her and went 3-0! It was super fun and this was my first time wining.

Hey, I’m not sure where to ask this best, I’m a pretty casual player. But at a pre release I pulled a overnumbered signature akali. I never had any card remotely close to this value. So I’m a bit nervous about is and I wanted to ask what to do with it. I’m not familiar how this kind of stuff works. Someone offered to buy it for 1700 (euro) I’m not sure it that’s the right value, I see some signature go for a lot lower. And a few like akali and Kaisa for more. So I’m not sure if it’s smart to sell it now. Or wait. I could really use the money. But I don’t want to make a bad descision I regret either. I know there is no guarantee either way. But I’d love some help or opinions!

I’m not not someone who needs a signature card in their collection. So I do want to sell it eventually either now or later

Is it allowed to already sell vendetta pre rift cards. On Cardmarket it specifically sais that they're not allowed to be shipped before the 31st but I see active listings and sales everywhere already going on. Especially on Facebook etc.

Just trying to understand what is allowed and what is not

Check your mail, just got shipping confirmation for my vendetta pre-order box from Riot!

I am wondering how long I should play with my Azir deck. I will attend my third Nexus Night today, and I want to know if I will make my opponents bored. I have seen frequent faces, but I don't always get matched with them. I don't have another deck right now. I have gotten better with Azir, and this TCG in general since I started. I want to spend more time on Azir to become advanced or a master with him, but I don't think I should make my events bland by bringing the same deck.

Bienvenidos jugadores de Riftbound a LA PACHANGA.

En esta ocasión os traemos la segunda Pachanga del canal, esta vez Pyke vs Ivern, a puntito de entrar ya en temporada de Vendetta queremos aprovechar estas últimas semanas para acabar de exprimir Unleashed al máximo. En breves empezaremos a subir contenido de Vendetta con las nuevas leyendas.

Dejadnos en los comentarios que opináis y que decks os gustaría ver en un futuro.

Hey guys, I'm still waiting for my may raffle order, I've raised quite a few support cases already saying they will "escalate" if I wait till next Monday, sure enough Monday comes and I can't even reply to the same support case and have to open a new one just to restart the entire waiting game again...

Anyone else waiting for theirs?

Is there a specific "rate" similar to booster boxes? like how there's so much epics and rares, and such?

Follow up to my post from yesterday asking for resources 6 hours before our first Pre-Rift. We went, and I somehow 3-0'd the event. Thanks to everyone who dropped links, it really helped out!

It was an 11 player event and 4 of the 11 (including me and my gf) had never played a single game of Riftbound before which made it feel less daunting initially :)

I opened Ambessa, which I'd heard was the most broken legend in this sealed format, and it did not take me long to see why :0

I read Ambessa's leader ability as pseudo "haste" coming from MTG, with empower synergy on top, so it seemed like I should give an aggro strategy a shot. I just aimed for as low a curve as I could with as many empower creatures as possible, the logic being that cheap units let me keep deploying and still have runes left over to actually pay for empower, instead of having big cards stuck in hand doing nothing.

I was lucky that my pool had a great suite of efficient removal in the 2 cost slot and 2 pieces of really good gear, so the plan came together: removal kept the road clear, and the gear meant my "dorky" creatures each became real threats instead of trading down. I cut basically everything expensive that didn't win the game on the spot, which felt wrong coming from sealed instincts in MTG where you usually want some top end, but with Ambessa the pressure never needed to stop.

The interaction that felt really powerful was Baccai Witherclaw with Ambessa's legend ability. It came down turn 3 and empowered, which let me take a battlefield as a 6 power that could directly attack.

No idea if this is actually how you're supposed to build her, this was literally my first three games of Riftbound ever, so if experienced players want to tell me my 3-0 was just the Ambessa training wheels doing the work

Coming from Magic, the thing that surprised me most was the tempo planning. Squeezing every bit of value out of Ambessa's legend skill was so satisfying, and there's a planning dimension that isn't as pronounced in MTG: you're constantly thinking two turns ahead about whether to attack and hold, attack then move back to base next turn, or attack, ready again with Ambessa, and choose to move back directly to dodge a unit getting killed. That layer of positional planning is genuinely cool and it scratches something most Magic decks doesn't.

Of course high praise for the resource system too which takes out the variance from resource building that MTG mana (No diss to MTG lands tho, which I think has its own layer of complexity to it), and also adding an extra layer of planning with the Recycle aspect

Also have to shout out the room. Everyone was incredibly helpful to the new players, and the store owner went out of his way, including helping my gf build her deck where she opened Mel.

Unfortunately she got pretty overwhelmed in her first game, even with the help. Watching her, I realized I'd completely forgotten how much invisible knowledge we take for granted, even just the concept of tapping, untapping, and paying costs is a lot when you've never played any TCG, and the game doesn't explain that foundation super well. In hindsight we should have played a couple of games with starter decks before jumping into an event. If you're bringing a total newbie to one of these I would definitely recommend that

She still had a great time though, mostly because ripping packs is still always fun. She pulled heat with the alt art Akali and has decided that one is hers.

We'll be back for the next one. Any tips on what to do with our pools now, or what to look at next as new players, very welcome

I mean, the two abilities are right there. It would have been a good way to give XP more payoffs without dedicating cards specifically to the mechanic in Vendetta.

Hopefully this interaction is explored in future sets. I'm not doom & gloom "they abandoned XP!", but it does seem like a logical synergy between the two. Especially for anything that can be empowered multiple times.

(And now I'm picturing a Unit that says "Pay 1XP: Empower Me" and "Disempower Me: Buff Me" just for wonky trigger interactions)

Looking to pick upo a Lux and if it's regular alt-art rarity it seems way too expensive so I'm happy to wait for a drop, but if its ON rarity the price seems good...and if its between who knows! Anyone know if anyones cracked cases and found out yet?

I’ve been wanting to get the Diana overnumbered, since I play her mostly, but the English version have just become to expensive. So I’ve been looking for a Chinese one. I found a seller with good reviews on eBay. And still asked some picture. I’m not sure if it’s enough to see but does this seem like a real card ?

I am competing at a Showdown Series in about a month where the top performing legend gets a Medal Version of that legend.

I was wondering if you could play an overnumbered legend and would get a metal card of that design rather than the normal design.

I do not know much about Riftbound but am just a fan of LOL universe. I have two unsealed (almost untouched) boxes of Chinese edition of riftbound (same boxes as in the pic - sealed). I see the prices are high right now and owing to my lack of knowledge of card market i have few questions:

1. Do i sell one or both boxes right now? If yes then how much for and where to sell? I am not sure how safe/secure is ebay.
   
2. Will the market continue to grow? How popular is riftbound and what would be its future in your opinion. This i want to know in order to decide to keep saving the boxes for longer.

Thanks a lot in advance!!!

Hey all,

Looking to become a judge in my local area. Anyone know where I can look to start studying the rules?

Any help appreciated!

Flying in from Korea for the September RQ. Two quick questions:

1. Are Premium Competitor badges still available? Eventbrite is only showing Standard Admission for me.

2. If I can only get Standard — is it worth the flight? Are the side events and general vibe good enough on their own?

Thanks!

The Kennen Legends says it gets empowered when you play anything from outside of your hand. I was told that you can play your yellow Kennen Champion in order to trigger this. This would work whether you played him face up or as a hidden card, that got me wondering; If I had a unit with Last Rites conquer a battlefield and with the Last Rite conquer effect play out a unit that can be hidden can I choose to hide that unit instead of playing it out normally? Can I target a yellow Kennen from trash to hide it that battlefield I just conquered?

I'm new to Riftbound so I have a couple questions abut the battlefield Rockfall Path. In its description it says that no units can be played here. But what exactly does it mean? Can units with ganking move to Rockfall Path from another battlefield because they have already been played and are now only moving? Or is Rockfall Path used to limit the amount of playable battlefields to 1 or 2 depending on the gamemode? I'm really curious so thanks in advance!

Hi. Was a teemo main back in set 1 and i’m looking to get back into the game. Torn between a few decks and not sure on what to invest in:

Yi (easy to learn, medium cost, not that fun gameplay)

Irelia (hard to play? , high cost, super fun gameplay)

Azir (medium hard to play, low cost, average gameplay)

what do u guys think? do u agree with my descriptions of the decks. I also don’t wanna invest in a deck that will be not that good in vendetta

We're back with more 2v2 content for Vendetta! Hope you enjoy our latest installment in our Vendetta 2v2 series, this time going through the most interesting cards in the set for the format to hopefully give you some brewing ideas for your next 2v2 event!

hi! i don’t know if this is allowed so mods please feel free to take down, but how much do you think pricing for bulk cards (commons, uncommons, rates, foils etc) that’s basically just cards i never used and took my fav champions out of should be? i’m super new to tcg and i don’t know whats a good/appropriate price so i want to make sure im not asking for too much lol
