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
RiftCub retweeted
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
decided to play Miss Fortune instead because i expected a LOT of Kai’Sa + it’s my favorite champion
anyways peep the new bio 😉
Astral Heron didn't flinch — $39.48, +0.2% — while everything under it sold off.
The market is holding its breath for Radiance. Until we see if it brings synergy with the cards already revealed, buyers are sitting on their hands.
Which card finds a floor first?👇
LeBlanc's signature spell pumped pre-RQ LA on hype, never delivered, and fell out of the Top 10. Pyke takes its place.
Origins and Spiritforged are spiking on Radiance synergy. Could LeBlanc return with Hook Mordekaiser? What else is the market missing in Unleashed?👇
