With the second set, Spiritforged, not due out in English until February 2026, now's the perfect time to bolster your decks with the current card pool. So, let's dive into the top Riftbound cards I recommend picking up during this sale, ranked from least to most expensive. Consider this my holiday gift to you, fellow card slingers.

Riftbound Black Friday: 10 Cards You CAN'T Miss!

First up is a card that's a staple in most Chaos (purple) decks: a draw spell that's, frankly, just good value. For a single Energy, and without needing to recycle Runes, you get exceptional value both early and late game. This is a no-brainer three-of in any purple deck. Priced around $5-$6, it's a tad expensive for an uncommon, but the utility is undeniable.

Next, we have Tasty Faefolk, a common sight in Calm (green) decks. This card is a strong, budget-friendly option, especially as a late-game finisher. Currently, it's priced at around $7, making it accessible for most players. While its cost might make you think twice about running three copies, it’s definitely worth considering depending on your deck build.

Now, let's talk about some of the big hitters. Master Yi, Wuju Bladesman, one of the strongest Legends in the game, commands a hefty $38 price tag. This is due to his popularity and, let's be honest, his scarcity. He's exclusively available in the Proving Grounds box (along with three other exclusive Legends), making him a bit harder to obtain. Still, singles are readily available, and if you're looking to build the second-best meta deck, he's a key component.

Then there's Thousand-Tailed Watcher. Every Mind (blue) deck should be considering including three copies, despite its $40 price tag. This card is an incredible late-game finisher, crucial for securing those final points. The synergy between your Battlefields, units, and this card can be the difference between victory and defeat.

And finally, we arrive at Kai'Sa, Daughter of the Void, a cornerstone of the definitive tier-one meta deck in Riftbound Origins. Her aggressive cost and potent effect mean she's a must-have in most red decks. If Kai'Sa is your chosen Legend, playing three copies of this card is a no-brainer… if you can afford it. At around $73 a pop, budget replacements might be more appealing for some players. But honestly, if you're serious about red, you'll want her.

Remember, these are just a few of the format staples and expensive cards within Riftbound's expansive set. And while sealed products can be tough to find right now, and prices can fluctuate, knowing what's valuable can help you make informed decisions during this Black Friday sale. Happy shopping, and may your pulls be ever in your favor!
