How much guts do I need before I can start earning glory

I feel like it's probably TF:

- esoteric use
- resonance so on the nose it's kind of silly
- doesn't fully work with the current cards, so you gotta dream big

I think I need to save info on calling back to older sets until at least set 2!

Swarm has been interesting in Riftbound - there's obviously a lot of advantage to splitting up and going wide, but the cap on points per turn means aggressive decks still have to play at a measured pace.

I definitely want to see Garen again post-Proving Grounds, whenever and however that is!

So for the Elite tag, that actually lead to a lot of discussion about what is an Elite vs. a Demacian, and if we need both (same with Trifarian and Noxus). We only have a couple cards that care about tags in Origins but I'm excited to do more with them in future sets

Ride the Wind is definitely not a card to sleep on. We made it with Yasuo, Windrider in mind but I don't think we realized how close the names were at first. Sometimes things just work out!

Sorry I can't really comment/look at designs, company policy!

We knew going in TF wanted to have some kind of effect keying off drawing or revealing a card from your deck, because of his affinity for cards. We landed on the Domain colors pretty late, and while I can't promise anything specific, we do seed ideas in that may not fully land until the future!

I'm glad to hear it! We spent a lot of time ( especially @gearhook.goblin.horse ) getting Sett to feel bruiser-y and I really like where he ended up

Sure! Sett, Brawler is one of my favorite units, partly because his get buff/spend buff pattern combines well with things like Mistfall to have tremendous solo carry turns. Kingpin can also be an absolute stat monster, but he's less fancy and more of a team player

Congrats!!!

This is a lot of the story behind set development. We'll usually land on a core idea for a Legend's archetype early on, polish up those elements, and then try to find the role player cards that make the whole composition sing once we know how the deck plays.

In testing, this also meant that the Volibear deck felt very fair - you knew what he was doing, when it was probably happening, and it was up to the other player to make the game interesting.

But Sky Splitter lets Volibear turn a Big Unit into a Big Turn, with a huge jolt of removal tempo!

If you've seen the Volibear demo deck, you know that Voli has a lot of big units, some nice ways to gain runes, and some removal for the early game. But one problem Big Stuff decks often have is that going all in on one angry Bear means you're one removal spell away from turning into a rug.
