The 10 Best Riftbound Cards to Consider Buying During TCGplayer’s Black Friday Sale

This is one of the few draw spells in the game so far, and it's an easy three-in-a-row in any Chaos (Purple) deck. Its single energy cost requires no runes to be recycled, making it extremely valuable both on turn one and later in the game.

It costs about $5-6, so for something that's not commonly available, it's a bit pricey.

delicious shepherd

1

Delicious Faefolk can be used in most Calm (green) decks. It's a great late-game finisher that's currently selling for about $7.

I probably won't play three of these due to the high cost, but it depends on the deck it's in.

Darius Trifarian

1

Darius is a pretty good mid-game drop in Fury (red) decks. A mid-range strategy like Sett the Boss will usually play a copy or two, and you'll likely see him taking up space in the top tier Kai'Sa, Daughter of the Void The same goes for the deck.

At $10, it's affordable and powerful.

meteor

1

Speaking of Kai'Sa, Meteor is another card that this deck usually considers including three copies of.

Two energy, two energy costs will disrupt your rhythm a bit, but in a pinch it can be a very effective wiper. I would also consider playing this in any other red deck, e.g. Jinx, loose cannonespecially at a reasonable price of $13.

bait hook

1

Veteran Magic players will think this is the answer to Riftbound delivery cabin. This is a great combo card that pairs perfectly with cards like Machine gospel.

In a full-scope strategy, e.g. Victor, Herald of the ArcaneIf you can stomach the $37 price tag, the Bait Hook could be a great finisher.

Master Yi

1

One of the strongest legendaries in the game to date, Master Yi, the Infinite Swordsman, sells for $38, both due to his popularity and rarity.

You can only let him in Proving ground box (along with three other exclusive legendaries), it's a bit of a hassle to get it at the moment. But if you want to quickly build the second best meta deck, solos are easy to get.

Thousand Tails Watcher

1

As one of the best cards in the entire game, every Psychic (blue) deck will consider automatically including three of these, even if it costs a lot.

The Thousand-Tailed Warden is an incredible late-game finisher that can help you get that final score, and combining it with strategizing your battlefield and units will mean the difference between victory and defeat. So the current price is about $40.

dazzling aurora

1

Dazzling Light is one of the only cards in Riftbound Origins that I think is borderline unfair and actually broken, and in a deck like Master Yi's Ramp, Dazzling Light is an incredibly powerful finisher.

Its energy cost of nine is worth considering, but will spit out a lot of units, e.g. dead flower predator Free will win games quickly, especially since not many decks will do too much gear removal.

isa survivor

1

The ultimate level one meta deck in Riftbound Origins. Her aggressive cost combined with extremely powerful effects ensures she'll be useful in most red decks.

If you have Kai'Sa, Daughter of the Void, as your legend, then playing as three Kai'Sa survivors is a no-brainer. That's of course, assuming you can get your hands on three copies. She currently costs around $73, so I wouldn't blame you if you find some budget alternatives.

time warp

3

Personally, I'm not the biggest fan of extra turn effects in the TCG, as they often give an unfair advantage when used. Regardless, Riftbound's Time Warp is an extremely powerful and costly effect, currently the most expensive major effect in the metagame at around $86-$90.

Most blue decks run at least one of these, so it might be worth buying a copy to build up store credit.

More Riftbound Cards to Watch

Of course, these aren't the only format staples or expensive cards Riftbound offers in its 300-plus card Origins set.

There are dozens of more expensive alternative versions of many legends and champions, as well as more metagame staples that will break the bank.
