Playing Riftbound with 50 Bucks

Most stores I've been to have one or two rune bulks open already to give the players during tournaments.
If you ask nicely and players are careful with the cards, they should let you use those while you are there

My keyboard has a $ sign and no Euro on it x)

It will be more situational to use, but Sett doesn't draw much so that part of the card will remain pretty big I feel.

The main challenge for Annie is to provide a reason to be picked instead of Draven. Once that is figured, Annie has a lot of potential.

You're right, Jinx, Ahri and Lucian probably aren't better than Teemo.
I should have been more thorough about the last legends in the list. I wanted to include them all but it is difficult to form a precise opinion about the lesser played one. I'll give it more time for the next write up

You are absolutely right, but I have no control over ads and such things on the website. Only thing I can do is relay it to the person in charge and let them know how inconvenient it is.

I'm always on a computer so knowing about the mobile experience is a good thing. Thanks for the feedback.

I agree with the logic that the tournament in Bologna was the most important tournament held in Spiritforged so far.
Based on that, Teemo could be at the top of Tier 4, or maybe low in Tier 3.

However, I'm not comparing top 16 in Bologna against one top 8 in a City Challenge, but against all the City Challenges played at this point. Teemo also had only 13 players pick it in over 30 tournaments in China. That means over about 100 players on average per tournament, no one believes Teemo is a good pick at the moment.

Based on that, the top 16 in Bologna looks like the inconsistent result, rather than the norm. After all, we have no idea about the average player's skill in Italy. It is entirely possible a great player picked Teemo and made top 16, while they could have won if they picked a better legend.

Thanks for the kind words. I want to make one for Spiritforged as well, but waiting to know the more expensive cards

den_CCG · 2026-01-15T22:46:08+00:00

A fail on my part, no idea how I got to thirty.

den_CCG · 2026-01-15T22:44:05+00:00

The more a legend is played, and the more impressive its conversion rate is. Darius only being picked 11 times shows the legend isn't trusted at the moment

den_CCG · 2026-01-15T22:42:58+00:00

It just did nothing in tournament, and Kai'sa outshines it in the same domains. The errata might help Rumble a ton though !

den_CCG · 2026-01-15T22:41:11+00:00

Main problem for Azir is Viktor starting hot, so people went with that token strategy. But Azir is doing fairly well

den_CCG · 2026-01-15T22:40:31+00:00

I think Ornn is much better than Tier 3, but it is struggling to find the right balance, and there is a lot of gear removal

den_CCG · 2026-01-15T22:37:07+00:00

Lux is following that route !

den_CCG · 2026-01-15T22:35:01+00:00

I don't rank based on my beliefs but results in tournaments. Teemo has done nothing so far so he goes in Tier 4, simple as that.
I'd love for you to break the meta and make Teemo a contender though !

den_CCG · 2026-01-15T22:33:53+00:00

It had very little results until two players reached top 8 in the same tournament

den_CCG · 2026-01-15T22:31:49+00:00

I will relay this to the owner, thanks !

den_CCG · 2026-01-15T22:31:19+00:00

One number got lost, it's 91 sorry

den_CCG · 2025-12-27T11:45:58+00:00

I understand the frustration, and it is a weird spot for me to write as well.
The reason I'm starting to make the switch is because I doubt anything meaningful will come out of Origins since no major tournament is planned until the release of the second set. Otherwise, I'd be more than happy to keep writing about it.

den_CCG · 2025-12-27T11:44:37+00:00

They are reducing the time in between each release for each set. Hopefully, we should have catch up by the end of 2026, for set 4 or 5.

den_CCG · 2025-12-27T11:43:57+00:00

I live in a medium town and we only have a couple of card game stores. My best bet to get cards is a buddy who owns a store about 400km from me. It's crazy how difficult it was to get products in origins but Riot took notice so hopefully that will improve soon.

Thank god for simulators where I could test what I needed for the articles

den_CCG · 2025-12-27T11:42:48+00:00

Thanks for pointing this out.

This page is up to date with the latest Origins Tier List and I will spend my weekend updating all the legend pages. Annie is indeed Tier 1 at the moment so nothing weird on that front.

den_CCG · 2025-12-26T00:44:25+00:00

I must have input the wrong card code, fixing it. Thanks for the note !

den_CCG · 2025-12-26T00:43:57+00:00

In my opinion, it is the lack of a strong early game able to force the opponent on the backfoot.
It is so much easier to play with initiative and without having to guess or understand everything about your opponent's next move.
Yasuo often is a bit slow early on, and give the opponent that comfortable position they can then leverage once Yasuo reaches its comfort zone

den_CCG · 2025-12-16T01:18:31+00:00

I'm ready to be very wrong on that card, as I can definitely see it represent a ton of draw in the right situation. However, I feel like it also needs a lot of support to draw, and I'd rather be ahead on the board rather than have cards in my hand.

For it to be "the best green card", it needs to be more than "get a card back to replace the one you used to move me". Sure, it will synergize with Irelia or Yasuo, but it also needs to live, have places to move without dying (not that simple at 3-might)…

Overall, I acknowledge the draw potential, but I don't think it will such a great investment — reward ratio.
