What Is Pokémon Day?

If you’re looking for help building decks you might like information from the designers: https://riftbound.leagueoflegends.com/en-us/news/rules-and-releases/deckbuilding-primer/
The domains are:
- Fury (Red) –
- Fury is about aggression, passion, and the thrill of conquering.
- Fury decks often use damage-based removal, Accelerate (and other ways to enter ready), and rewards for conquering to achieve victory.
- Generally, Fury cards have a harder time drawing lots of cards or killing units directly, especially units that stay out of combat in their base.
- Examples of Fury from popular fiction are Conan the Barbarian, Blade, and Anakin Skywalker.
- Calm (Green) –
- Calm is about balance, meditation, and the peace of holding.
- Calm decks often use defensive tricks, moving enemies, and negating interaction (like counterspells and stuns) to defend their holds and achieve victory.
- Generally, Calm cards have a harder time being very aggressive or interacting without using their units.
- Examples of Calm from popular fiction are Gandalf, Baloo, and Obi Wan Kenobi.
- Mind (Blue) –
- Mind is about innovation, outsmarting opponents, and the benefits of intelligence and curiosity.
- Mind decks often use long-term planning, shrinking tricks, card draw, hidden and gear synergy to gain an advantage and achieve victory.
- Generally, Mind cards have a harder time with moving units or having efficient units.
- Examples of Mind from popular fiction are Sherlock Holmes, Curious George, and Yoda.
- Body (Orange) –
- Body is about physical superiority, agility, and connection to the wilds.
- Body decks often ramp their resources, play efficient and high impact units, and dominate combats to achieve victory.
- Generally, Body cards have a harder time with finding efficient card draw or noncombat spells.
- Examples of Body from popular fiction are The Terminator, Juggernaut, and Chewbacca.
- Chaos (Purple) –
- Chaos is about unpredictability, rebellion, and trickiness.
- Chaos decks often manipulate position and the trash, use hidden tricks, and filter toward the right cards to achieve victory.
- Generally, Chaos cards have a harder time permanently eliminating a threat or giving permanent advantages to its units.
- Examples of Chaos from popular fiction are V (for Vendetta), Spiderman, and Han Solo.
- Order (Yellow) –
- Order is about unity, community, and sacrifice for the greater good.
- Order decks often generate many small units, gain effects on unit death, and kill units directly to achieve victory.
- Generally, Order cards have a harder time dealing with smaller units and moving units.
- Examples of Order from popular fiction are Superman, Cobra Commander, and Leia Organa.
One way to start building a deck is to start with a domain you think fits your playstyle (or just style, generally) and search for cool cards you might want to fit into a deck.
