For @butwhytho.net: I once again had the pleasure of chatting with Riftbound set design lead Jon Moormann (@riotiamwalrus.bsky.social), this time about Vendetta. We discussed their design philosophy going into the three remaining Domains, errata, and so much more: butwhytho.net/2026/07/rift...

This is a big one folks... I designed a card in #RBVendetta! I go over my time doing contract work for Riot on Unleashed, Vendetta, and Radiance, as well as how Patched Porobot came to be! 📺 youtu.be/cRGvZO0e3Fg 📺 (Would appreciate shares as this one is super near and dear to me 💖)

Finally made it out to a Nexus Night last night and had a great time getting absolutely rolled on Ivern. Really rejuvenating to see people playing Riftbound in the wild! Makes me very proud of what the game has become (and where it's heading)!

Hey Riftbounders! TL;DR (more in the thread - 1/11) 1: We're discussing card bans in the near future based on overly-dominant play patterns, but none to announce today, nor an expected date for bans.

Fun things to do with today's #Riftbound Spiritforged preview card: - go all in for the last point - convert a pile of gold into victory - delete your runes to assert dominance - announce loudly that "I am paying AAAA!" like you just saw a spider.

Power Nexus - When you hold here, you may pay AAAA to score 1 point.

One of today's philosophical questions: can a game be a "Bennett-Foddy-style" game if it is actually made by @foddy.net

The new Bennett Foddy-style flailing simulator is "infuriating," "frustrating," "stupid," and most people seem to love it.

Back again with another #Riftbound card reveal, straight from the bear's paws to your eyes: Sky Splitter! When we were architecting the set for Origins, we knew we wanted a rune-ramp deck. Big Stuff is, after all, Very Cool. But Big Units are often hard to make good, so how do we support that plan?

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)

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!"

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.

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".

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!

Garbage Grabber (Mind) (Gear)

Recycle 3 from your trash, [1], Exhaust: Draw 1.

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.

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.)
