Riftbound: Spiritforged Complete Set and Deckbuilding Guide — Riftarc.gg

Spiritforged was Riftbound's first expansion after Origins and the first real test of how much a new set could widen the game. It launched in China on December 12, 2025 and globally on February 13, 2026 with 221 cards, 12 Champion Legends, new Gear interactions, and two Champion Decks.

Official information defines the mechanics and product. Riftarc analysis below focuses on which packages became useful once players stopped evaluating cards in isolation.

What Spiritforged added

The set introduced Gold, Repeat, Equipment, Quick-Draw, and Weaponmaster. Equipment gave multiple Domains a reason to care about Gear, while Gold created temporary resource lines and Repeat rewarded carefully sequenced spells. Thirty Overnumbered cards expanded premium treatments beyond Legends to Champion Units and Gear.

The announced Champion roster included Azir, Draven, Ezreal, Fiora, Irelia, Jax, Lucian, Ornn, Rek'Sai, Renata Glasc, Rumble, and Sivir. Rumble and Fiora received preconstructed Champion Decks: Rumble builds cumulative Mech value, while Fiora turns ordinary units into combat threats through spells and equipment.

The domain picture

Riftarc's preview series was most useful as a set of hypotheses—and tournament play showed which held up.

Chaos gained the deepest immediately playable package. Doran's Ring, Hand Bargain, Fizz, Edge of Night, Ezreal, and Treasure Hunter supported both equipment plans and existing efficient shells.
Calm kept its hold identity while adding cheap equipment and proactive options. Lonely Poro, Janna, Doran's Shield, and Aphelios gave the Domain more angles.
Mind explored energy cheats and unusual engines around cards such as Plundering Poro and Hextech Anomaly.
Fury received more synergy and sideboard tools, but the early prediction that it would be less dominant than Origins did not fully survive: Draven became the season's defining Legend.
Order supplied useful support cards but struggled to form one broad proactive package. Its strongest contributions often completed another Domain's plan.
Body gained situational buffs and tempo pieces, yet the concern about insufficient proactive power remained relevant for many of its Legends.

Synergies worth learning

Early events surfaced Mech recursion, cheap equipment starts, Vanguard Armory pressure, move-based Chaos value, Ornn top-end lines, and Annie-adjacent battlefield plans. The lesson is more durable than any opening-week list: Spiritforged rewards packages whose pieces still function alone.

Equipment decks need a real payoff and a plan when the Gear is removed. Gold decks need turns that convert temporary resources into battlefield control. Repeat cards need enough legal, useful targets that they are not stranded. Mech lists must decide whether they are synergy engines or simply efficient midrange decks.

Choosing a Spiritforged entry point

Pick Rumble's Champion Deck if building a board of cooperating Mechs sounds satisfying. Pick Fiora if you prefer combat tricks, equipment, and flexible unit upgrades. For budget competitive play, the original survey found Viktor, Master Yi, Jax, and Leona closest to their full-strength versions; that is a structural observation, not a current price list.

The set's competitive history is covered in the Spiritforged season retrospective. Individual strategies are easier to compare in the engine and combo and ramp and equipment guides.

Final assessment

Spiritforged succeeded less by replacing Origins than by attaching new engines to it. The best decks used equipment, Gold, Repeat, or tribal pieces to sharpen an already coherent plan. Start with the win condition, then choose the Spiritforged package that reaches it more reliably.
