Riftbound product types and card variants explained

Riftbound: League of Legends Trading Card Game, published by Riot Games with UVS Games as its distributor, launched in English on October 31, 2025 with Origins. A new main set has followed roughly every three months since: Spiritforged, Unleashed, Vendetta, and Radiance on October 23, 2026.

This guide explains the two things a new buyer meets first: the products the cards come in, and the versions a card can come in, which can change its price by thousands of dollars. Product and card facts here are from Riot's articles and UVS's sell sheets; prices and product listings are from TCGplayer.

The products

Booster pack. The basic unit: 14 cards, made up of "7 Commons, 3 Uncommons, 2 foil Rares or better, 1 foil of any rarity, and 1 token slot" in every set from Origins to Radiance (the UVS sell sheets). Legacy, due January 29, 2027, changes the make-up.

Sleeved booster pack. The same booster pack in a sleeve, MSRP $4.99. Radiance's sell sheet: "Each Sleeved Booster contains 1 Riftbound: Radiance booster pack."

Booster display. What most people call a booster box: "Each booster display contains 24 booster packs", MSRP $120. A case holds 6 displays.

Sleeved booster art bundle. Three sleeved packs in one product, as the product name says.

Vault. From Unleashed on: 6 booster packs, 36 basic runes and 3 tokens, MSRP $34.99.

Champion deck. Origins, Spiritforged and Unleashed: a preconstructed 56-card deck plus 1 booster pack, MSRP $19.99. Legacy brings champion decks back.

Showdown decks. Vendetta and Radiance: two 56-card preconstructed decks, 2 booster packs and 2 playmats in one box, MSRP $34.99.

Proving Grounds. A starter box of four ready-to-play decks (Annie, Master Yi, Lux and Garen), MSRP $29.99.

Pre-Rift kit. Each set's prerelease kit, from the events Riot calls Pre-Rift. Stores buy event kits that hold the player kits, and each player kit holds 5 booster packs (Unleashed sell sheet).

Nexus Night promo pack. A pack of promo cards that stores give players as a participation prize at Nexus Night events. The site treats it as a promo product, not a booster.

The site keeps each of these apart: a loose pack and a sleeved pack are different products with different prices, and a deck is never counted as a booster. The sleeved vs loose vs booster box guide compares what each costs per pack.

Rarities

Riot's collectability article names four rarities: Common, Uncommon, Rare and Epic. "Every Rare and Epic will always be foil." TCGplayer files the special versions below under a fifth label, Showcase.

Versions of a card

One card can come in several versions that share its art or its name, and they sell for very different amounts. The site gives each version its own page.

• Base card. Numbered within the set, such as 061/298 for an Origins card.
• Alternate art. "Cards with alternate art treatments contain an 'a' at the end of their collector number." Riot gave Origins "a rough rate of ~2 per box".
• Overnumbered. Numbered above the set's total, such as 303/298 in Origins. Riot: "roughly one per three boxes" in Origins, and "Rares, Epics, and Overnumbered cards are all foil to begin with."
• Signature. A rarer form of the Overnumbered card, marked with a star after the number: 303*/298 is the Signature version of the Overnumbered 303/298. In Origins, "roughly one in ten Overnumbers will be a Signature Overnumber."
• Ultimate. Introduced in Unleashed, which has one; Radiance has the second. Riot said Unleashed's would "appear in < 0.1% of packs" and Radiance's in "approximately 0.025% of booster packs."
• Promos. Prize and event versions are promo cards, not part of a set's booster list.

On October 17, 2026 the difference showed in Origins' prices: Ahri, Nine-Tailed Fox was $364 as the Overnumbered 303/298 and $3,711 as the Signature 303*/298, though the lowest listing that day was $6,500, well above that market price.

Pull rates

Riot has published no complete pull-rate table for any set: only the statements quoted above, for a few versions of a few sets, and it adds that its rates "are not guarantees of appearance in booster packs or booster displays." The site therefore gives no odds for Riftbound and computes no expected value for its products.

English and Chinese

Chinese-language Riftbound is published on its own schedule, which matched English from Vendetta on. The site's prices are for English cards and products only; it has no Chinese prices and never compares them with English ones.

Where to look next

The Riftbound hub lists every set, with its pack prices; each set page lists its cards with every version and its chase cards. The where to buy guide covers stores, retailers and marketplaces, and Riot's event search finds local stores that run Riftbound events.

How we got these numbers

Product contents and MSRPs come from the UVS Games sell sheets and card facts from Riot's own articles, all read on October 17, 2026; the Ahri prices are TCGplayer market prices from the site's catalog the same day. The methodology page explains where market prices come from.

What changes and what stays

Dated figures: the Ahri prices are as of October 17, 2026; its card pages show them live.

Lasting facts: what each product holds, the MSRPs, the rarities and how each version is numbered. A new product line, a new set's changes (Legacy's new pack make-up from January 2027) or a revised MSRP would change them.

Bottom line

Riftbound cards come in 14-card booster packs, sold loose, sleeved, in 24-pack displays, in 3-pack art bundles and 6-pack Vaults, and inside decks that add one or two packs to a fixed decklist. A card's versions can differ in price by thousands of dollars: alternate arts end in "a", Overnumbered cards are numbered above the set's total, and Signatures carry a star. Riot publishes no full pull rates, so the site gives no odds.
