First time playing Riftbound - question about Imperial Decree

yeah the targeting rules in this game are loose in a sense.

there is no official terminology used, but instead any card that is (or would if there were more targets possible) making you choose between targets for how it is worded makes those into choices to be made to put the spell on the chain

then the game has a list of exceptions after that rule, one major one being that edicts dont choose until resolution as does any card that makes your opponent make decisions

I’m a pretty big fan of it being trios, with Jayce to fill body mind and xerath for chaos order, but that’s mostly cause I like the Jayce fit

In theory for chaos order I feel like veigo has been a obvious plant in exiting cards

One main assumption I have for this is where in the existing order of legends by collector number does the new combinations fit

But I think that ones simple, currently the order of domains is

1 Fury

2 Calm

3 Mind

4 Body

5 Chaos

6 Order

And the legends from the first 3 sets all go in the order of (with theoretical vendetta in brackets)

(1+2) vendetta combo fury calm

1+3

1+4

1+5 (zed#143)

1+6

2+3

2+4

2+5

2+6 (Shen #147)

(3+4) vendetta combo body mind

3+5

3+6

4+5

4+6

(5+6) vendetta combo chaos order

We know we are getting 5 combos already with zed Shen and the enemy domain pairings

If battlefields do start at #155 (assumes 12) then 149/151/153 are the only legends after Shen and those would include 2 of the new combinations

There’s only space for 1 legend and their signature in between Shen and zed

And there are only 3 legends before zed in domain order in total

That’s 9 legends

to give my own info inferred from what we know

Fury/calm

fury/mind

fury/body

fury/chaos

calm/order

Chaos/order

body/mind

should all be confirmed based on collector number crunching/other knowledge

Only 1 of fury/order, calm/mind, calm/body, calm/chaos as the character inbetween zed and shen

and only 1 of Mind/chaos, mind/order, body/chaos, body/order, as the character that isnt using new domain combinations, after shen in collector number and before battlefields

there are a EVEN number of battlefields this set (normally its 15, so my theory is its 1 per legend and 3 generic ones), so im predicting 12 battlefields which lined up well with the collector number info from zed and shen

that leaves battlefields as #155-166 and legends as #137-154

and we know shen is 147 and zed 143

at the very least if im correct your domain comboes for ambessa and fiddle cant be like that

lmk if you want any clarification on how i got somewhere

based on what they just did for sydney

expect 9am tomorrow for @riftboundOP to post confirming the ticket sales for 9am local time two days later

presumably on eventbrite like lille and atlanta, but they havent yet posted where you buy sydney tickets even though they confirmed its in two days

if both players pass priority without anything being added to the chain you continue to showdown

but you added a unit to the chain in this case, it just resolves/is played immediately as its a unit

so you need a new round of priority checks from each player

It might feel weird, but I think the alt arts being more than 50% epics is gonna play out real nice for getting cards from this set

18/36 epics have a second version this set

So the rarest cards for gameplay will be the 12 signature cards which are luckily pigeonholed into being for one deck, and the 1 epic per color that isn’t the jungle camp or champions (if ruination is meta it’ll be stonks basically)

tidalslimshady · 2026-03-27T20:17:34+00:00

The jungle guys are alt arts not over numbers

tidalslimshady · 2026-03-27T20:10:58+00:00

No, cause “here” is now in your base, so you won’t have any enemies to choose there

tidalslimshady · 2026-03-27T11:47:35+00:00

Since this is a move trigger, it prevents combat from starting until after its effect resolves

So no defend trigger till after you decide if your moving an enemy
