Join the Gnomes each Friday at 6:30pm for Riftbound’s Nexus Nights!
We’re inviting players out to play Riftbound in a variety of formats with a simple cost of purchasing a pack of Riftbound! Promos will go out based on attendance.
There are a multitude of formats available to play: 1 v 1, 2 v 2, or 3-4 player free for all! You’ll want to stay up to date with the most current errata or rules changes, some of which is available here: https://riftbound.leagueoflegends.com/en-us/news/rules-and-releases/riftbound-origins-card-errata/
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.

What do I need to know for Deckbuilding?
Because of the nature of sealed events, decks can contain more than four cards with the same card number. It can also contain more than four of each of the Special, Color, and Final trigger types. 5 booster packs contribute to creating as close to a 60 card deck as possible. A deck needs 3 Action Point cards, Raids can be performed using cards with two different colors, and five Special triggers can be in a deck. Bring your own sleeves from home or purchase some before the event!
