Riftbound List: Cards So Far, Packs and Release Dates

The Riftbound card list so far comes from the official announcements: Riftbound: Origins has 298 cards, Radiance released on October 23, 2026, Legacy launches January 29, 2027 and The Reckoning launches June 30, 2027. This guide covers pack slots, rarities, named cards, products and dates, all from the official Riftbound pages.

Updated November 11, 2026

Available now while you wait: if you collect Japanese cards in the meantime, we have the Unsealed MEGA Booster Box “30th CELEBRATION” (Japanese) in stock, plus the PSA10 MEGA Rayquaza ex SAR [M6 110/076] from Storm Emeralda. These are Pokémon sets. The full set of related rows is in the section near the end, and our Pokemon Card Box collection shows the wider range.

What does the Riftbound card list cover, and where does it come from?

The Riftbound card list is the official pool of cards Riot publishes through its set announcements, and what is public today is set sizes, pack structure, rarity rules and named example cards. This guide reports that structure clearly and does not invent a numbered gallery.

Five official posts are used. The collectability post explains how Riftbound: Origins is built. The launch post lists the Origins products and the English launch date. The Unleashed overview describes Set 3. The Nexus Night packs post names 25 cards. The 2026 roadmap gives the dates through 2027.

Because the sources are separate posts, the picture is uneven. Origins has the deepest explanation, down to frame colours and gem shapes. Unleashed has a pack recipe, new mechanics and tokens. The later sets (Radiance, Legacy and The Reckoning) appear in the roadmap with dates, and that is where this guide stops for them. Where a figure is not in a source, it is not given here.

One practical way to use this page: if you are trying to identify a card, start with the numbering and rarity sections. If you are trying to plan around launches, jump to the timeline table. If you are comparing pack contents, use the pack table.

How many cards are in Riftbound: Origins and how are they numbered?

Riftbound: Origins has 298 cards, and cards are numbered out of 298. The official example is Poro Herder, which is 061/298.

Overnumbers sit outside that count. They are numbered 299 and up, and they do not count toward a set’s tournament legality. In practice a card marked with a number above 298 is an Overnumber, and a card with a number inside the 298 range is part of the base set. The official post states this rule directly, so it is a reliable way to read a card number.

The Overnumber versions the post describes are for the Champion Legends of the 12 core champions. They are by Riot artists. A smaller group among them is called a Signature Overnumber and carries a foil artist signature. The post also makes a promise about design: Riot will never reprint an Overnumber with the same art and frame.

A second variant type sits inside the numbering conversation. The 12 core champions’ Champion Units have alt-art versions, and these are marked by a hexagonal gem. So the gem shape is a quick visual cue for variants, which the next sections explain.

The same post adds a note about the trial decks: it states that cardstock, varnish and inking on those decks are not final.

How is a Riftbound booster pack built?

An Origins booster pack holds 14 cards, built from 7 Common slots, 3 Uncommon slots, 2 Rare-or-better slots, 1 Foil slot and 1 Token or Rune slot, plus 1 informational insert. The launch post confirms the pack as 14 cards with a mix of rarities, and the booster box as 24 packs.

Adding the card slots gives 7 + 3 + 2 + 1 + 1 = 14. A full booster box therefore holds 24 packs of 14 cards, which is 336 cards in its card slots, not counting inserts. That multiplication is ours; the pack and box figures come from the official posts.

The foil slot is usually a foil Common or Uncommon, but it can upgrade to a Rare or Epic. All Rares and Epics are foil, so any Rare or Epic you open is foil by definition. The two Rare-or-better slots can hold Epics, and an Epic replaces a Rare slot, which means a single pack can contain two Epics. Most Epics are Champion Units and Signature Spells.

The same post describes the variant cards in a pack or box: alt-art versions of the 12 core champions’ Champion Units, and Overnumber versions of their Champion Legends, one of which type is the Signature Overnumber with a foil artist signature.

Unleashed, the third set, keeps the same 14-card count with a slightly different description. Its pack lists 7 Common cards, 3 Uncommon cards, 1 Foil slot that can be Common, Uncommon, Rare or Epic, 2 slots for Rare, Epic, Alt, Overnumber or Ultimate cards, 1 Token, Rune or Alt Rune slot, and 1 informational insert.

The Unleashed overview adds a limit on its top rarity: a pack contains at most one Ultimate Rare. This article makes no prediction about value.

What do the Riftbound rarities and frames look like?

Riftbound has four functional rarities, Common, Uncommon, Rare and Epic, and each has its own frame and gem shape. The collectability post lists them, which lets you identify a card’s rarity by sight.

Two rules in that table help with quick sorting. First, if the card is a Battlefield, it is Uncommon, whatever its art. Second, if it is a Champion Legend, it is Rare. Those category rules are more reliable than guessing from the art alone.

Foil status follows rarity at the top end: all Rares and Epics are foil. The foil slot in a pack is usually a foil Common or Uncommon.

The Ultimate rarity was introduced in Unleashed. The overview says the only Ultimate is a unique overnumbered Baron Nashor, revealed during the China Major on March 21-22, 2026. A pack contains at most one Ultimate Rare.

Which Riftbound cards are named in the official sources?

The official sources name 25 cards in the Nexus Night post, plus a handful of Origins and Unleashed examples, so there is a named sample but not a complete gallery. The named cards come from the Origins post, the Unleashed overview and the Nexus Night packs post.

From Origins, Poro Herder is the numbering example at 061/298. From Unleashed, the overview names Master Yi, Unstoppable; Mosstompter; Inferna, which has Assault 2; and Kha’Zix, Voidreaver as example cards. They illustrate three new mechanics: XP, Hunt and Ambush. The Unleashed tokens are Baron Pit, Bird, Brush, Buff, Gold, Reflection, Sprite and XP Tracker.

The Nexus Night packs post (dated April 8, 2026) gives a full named list. Those cards keep their original set numbers but get the Nexus Night foil treatment, and the chase card is a new Lee Sin with alternate templating.

Counting that table gives 19 main cards and 6 alternate-art runes, which is 25 named cards in the post.

The Unleashed overview also mentions promos: a Pre-Rift Ashe promo, available while supplies last, and Nexus Nights promo packs updated with Unleashed cards. The Origins launch post says local stores host launch events from October 31 where players can get a promo booster pack.

The sources do not include a numbered, card-by-card gallery for any set, so this guide reports names and structure and does not reproduce full rows of cards.

Which Riftbound products carry the cards?

Riftbound cards come in booster packs, booster boxes and displays, starter and champion decks, a storage product called the Vault, and event bundles. The official posts name each of these, and the table below lists them with the details and dates the sources give.

Each product has a different purpose. Booster packs and boxes are for opening cards. Proving Grounds is described as a starter boxed set for 2-4 players, and the Champion Decks are described as ready-to-play pre-constructed decks. The Vault is storage that also includes six Unleashed packs, so it is both an organizer and a source of cards.

For a quick sense of scale, the Origins box holds 24 packs of 14 cards, while the Vault holds 6 Unleashed packs, which is 84 cards in its pack slots. That total is our multiplication of the two official figures, and it does not include the runes or tokens, which the post lists separately.

The official posts also give purchase limits for the Origins preorder on the Riot Games Merch Store, which started August 4 at 9AM PT and required a Riot ID: 2 Booster Boxes, 3 Proving Grounds and 3 each of the Jinx, Viktor and Lee Sin Champion Decks per Riot ID. For Unleashed, the Merch Store drawing for Booster Displays and Precon Decks ran from April 13 (9am Pacific) to April 15 (9am Pacific).

What is the Riftbound release timeline through 2027?

Radiance released on October 23, 2026, Legacy launches January 29, 2027, Proving Grounds, 2nd Edition follows on February 19, 2027, and The Reckoning launches June 30, 2027. The 2026 roadmap gives those dates, together with Pre-Rift windows and two Continental events.

Two gaps are worth noting, and both are plain arithmetic on the roadmap dates. Radiance to Legacy is 98 days (October 23, 2026 to January 29, 2027). Legacy to The Reckoning is 152 days (January 29 to June 30, 2027). So the longer interval falls between Legacy and The Reckoning.

The sources give these Pre-Rift dates: Unleashed English Pre-Rift began May 1 ahead of the May 8 release, Legacy Pre-Rift events run January 22-28 ahead of the January 29 launch, and The Reckoning Pre-Rift events run June 23-29 ahead of the June 30 launch. Separately, the Unleashed overview lists a Pre-Rift Ashe promo, available while supplies last.

The roadmap says Radiance Summoner Skirmish windows open on November 9 and December 14, 2026. For collectors, the next set launch on the roadmap is Legacy on January 29, 2027.

How should you read Riftbound card information for a collection?

Read a Riftbound card by number, frame and gem shape: the number tells you whether it is base set or Overnumber, and the frame and gem tell you the rarity. Those three cues come straight from the official collectability post.

A short routine works for any card. Check the number: a value of 299 or higher means an Overnumber that does not count toward tournament legality. Check the gem: round is Common, triangular is Uncommon, square is Rare, pentagonal is Epic, and hexagonal is an alt-art Champion Unit. Check the foil: all Rares and Epics are foil, so a non-foil Rare or Epic would not match the rule.

For Nexus Night cards the number does not change. The post says the cards keep their original set numbers and add the Nexus Night foil treatment. So a Nexus Night card is identified by its treatment and its original number together.

For sealed product, the pack count is the useful figure. Origins boxes hold 24 packs, the Vault holds 6 Unleashed packs, and every pack described in the sources holds 14 cards. When you compare two products, multiply the pack count by 14 to compare card slots, and remember that inserts, tokens and runes are listed separately.

One more point on reprints: Riot will not reprint an Overnumber with the same art and frame. For anyone tracking Overnumbers, the design of an Overnumber stays tied to its first printing, as the official post states.

Category rules also help when a card is in your hand without its pack. A Battlefield is always Uncommon, so it carries the silver frame and triangular gem. A Champion Legend is always Rare, so it carries the gold full-art frame and square gem. A side champ is Rare as well. If a card breaks one of these rules, re-check the frame and the gem before assuming it is a variant.

Finally, keep the set in view. A card number such as 061/298 belongs to Origins, while Unleashed cards such as Master Yi, Unstoppable or Kha’Zix, Voidreaver belong to Set 3. The Nexus Night versions of Unleashed cards keep their original set numbers, so the number alone does not tell you which treatment you hold.
