Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

The Wildest Top 8 in Riftbound History
Q: Should Riot make new signatures for legends from origins like Victor and Ahri, whose signatures fall flat in power and flavor?
The panelists generally support the idea of new signature options but acknowledge it may require a broader design approach, potentially involving expansion slots or new legends to justify additional signatures without diluting existing design space. They expect limited expansion unless rotating or new sets create room for legacy-supportive content.
How to win by turn 5 in Riftbound
Q: How does a mixed format event work?
A mixed format would combine constructed play with limited play (draft or sealed) across multiple rounds, using the results to determine the top eight, with a stronger emphasis on identifying the best all-around Riftbound players.
How an Underdog nearly toppled the Final Boss
Q: How do you guys feel about the state of agro lists?
Aggro decks need to be proactive early on but struggle against the mid-range dominance of Draven.
WELCOME TO THE LEAGUE OF DRAVEN
Q: What's something to learn playing Riftbound that's very different from magic?
The cost of cards and your initial reactions to their costs differ significantly; for example, something costing four is not necessarily as detrimental as it would be in other card games.
These Metal Prize Cards Could Be Worth THOUSANDS 💰
Q: Which legend is the most likely to support birds in the future?
Anivia might have some support for birds given her thematic ties, but Quinn and Valor could also play a role, potentially being a duo legend.
