Kennen stormed Sacramento: 56.9% win rate on 7.8% of the field, 7 in the Top 32.
Astral Heron sits at $52.91, 8x the next card. It’s a green staple and was in 24% of Sacramento decks. The winner Riven ran 3 copies in a 755-player tournament.
Is anything catching Heron?👇

TCGPlayer has put Riftbound on its homepage navigation bar now, replacing Star Wars: Unlimited.
One of seven TCGs on there (which makes sense because Riftbound has broken into Top 5 in volume despite it only being a year old).
Baron Nashor’s Pit is open for business, +91.8% this week. Alt Art follows at +36.2%.
Sacramento: 76% of Riven decks ran Baron, 9 of those made Top 32 (2 non-Baron Rivens did too). Riven was 13.3% of the field at a 63.6% win rate.
Riven is the new meta, is Baron here to stay?👇
Defiant Dance is out of step: -38.5% this week, Ireila was 1% of the Sacramento field with a 37.1% win rate.
Last Rites and Ezreal, Prodigy fell the least, both staples in Kennen who won 61.8% of the games at Scaramento.
SFD is free falling. Is this set not meta relevant?👇
Time Warp is up 50% this week to $59.63.
Zhonya’s Hourglass debuts at No.6 (+55.7%) after showing up in 33% of Sacramento lists. Time Warp is in 12.6%, with Kai’Sa its best performer (57% win rate). Riven won, but staples are moving prices.
Which spike surprises you most? 👇
Astral Heron took flight again: +24.5% this week to $52.16. Biggest mover in the Top 10.
With Riven seeing huge testing, Heron beenfits. Play your first card each turn while Heron holds a battlefield and your next card costs 2 less. A discount every turn.
Is $52 the ceiling?👇
Baron Nashor woke up and ate the leaderboard: +40.8% this week, taking 1st.
Riven took 5 of the top 8 at Runes & Rift Open 25 and won NovaRiftbound’s $2,000 Showdown 5. Baron is a staple, with Hunter’s Circle and Astral Heron as the combo.
One-week spike or the new king?👇
The board got buried. Last Rites is the only green on it.
It’s essential in Kennen, who has a high play rate even with Stacked Deck banned. Trifarian Captain replaces it, and Kennen beat Riven at Runes & Rift Open. I expect it to do well in the new meta.
Who stops him?👇
Seal of Rage lost its seal of approval: -18.4% this week, with Dazzling Aurora -14.2%.
At NovaRiftbound’s $2,000 Online Showdown 5, 74 players showed up and the best Ziggs finished 69th. The deck ran no red seals. Is Ziggs really unplayable?
Pre Radiance pump over?👇

Buying up every copy of Dazzling Aurora I see so Jayce players can’t terrorize locals with it
You’re welcome

okay i totally get that this announcement sucks for everyone who wanted to rep their fav Legend but i have ONE single thing that i want from this
can we televise the top 58 OVN Foil Plated Legend draft on stream please

I am so immensely disappointed by the timeline on this decision @riftboundop.
I have played hundreds/over a thousand hours of Leblanc for the sole intention of winning every best of I can. I have never once registered with the intention of winning an event. Every event I have ever won/done well has been a byproduct of my ambition to secure a best-of status for my girl.
I understand the anti-collusion efforts, and I even agree with some of the decision. The timeline is unreal. I have 3 weeks before Stuttgart to figure out what I’m doing.
I want this to be the pinnacle of competitive Riftbound and now I question if it will be. There is such a distinct advantage given to those who have been playing S tier legends for months and months. People have spent so many hours working on Set 1 legends again. We were looking at what could potentially be one of the most diverse and interesting formats ever. Now it’s going to be 4 decks.
I’m actually speechless.

생애 처음으로 Riftbound 오프라인 모임에 참가했는데, 1라운드 상대가 저를 너무나 빠르게 꺾어버리더니 이걸 건네주며 "여기서 게임하려면 이거부터 공부 좀 해와"라고 하더군요.
말할 것도 없이 그 자리에서 바로 나왔고, 안타깝게도 앞으로 이 게임은 더 이상 하지 않을 생각입니다. 🥲
Helm of Suppression is taxing the market, +12.6% this week.
Helm taxes opposing spells 1 energy, and 1 power more if Empowered. Orianna pays 1 energy to turn a gear into a unit with might equal to its cost, suddenly Helm becomes a 4 might attacker too.
Which gear is next?👇
Baron Nashor is rising out of the Pit, +7.7% this week.
Heron is at Hunting Circle, you trigger its ability to cut Baron’s cost. Play Baron onto Hunting Circle for another cut. Finally Baron enters Baron Pit for a conquer point.
Baron for 7 energy and 1 power, is it a sin?👇
Last Rites isn’t going quietly +2.0%, Ezreal, Prodigy Alt Art is the only other green at +0.2%.
The other 8 cooled, led by Irelia Alt Art (-16.1%). Corina Veraza (-36%) fell out. Is the Seraphine synergy not working, or is she not living up to expectations?
Who's playing her?👇
Radiance is 11 days out and the market is holding its breath. Seal of Rage already cashed the pre-Radiance reveal pump: +91.2% in 30D.
Reveal hype looks priced in, and 9 of the Top 10 slipped this week. Time Warp led the dip at -11%.
Do prices settle before the new meta forms?👇

I CALLED IT HAHAHAHAHAHA

went into RQ Macau (Set 1 meta) really frustrated with Annie because it wasn’t very consistent post-Stacked Deck
