Riftbound Radiance Beginner Guide
Learn Riftbound from setup to victory — build a deck, contest battlefields, and reach 8 points before your opponent.

Riftbound Radiance Card Codes
Use the RAD set abbreviation and printed card numbering to identify Radiance cards.
Radiance card references are designed to help players, collectors, stores, and deckbuilders locate a physical card in the set. The set abbreviation, card number, and card name should be read together when cataloging or searching for a card.
RAD references identify printed trading cards. They are not digital game redemption codes, so never enter them as account rewards.
| Identifier | Format | What It Means | How to Use It |
|---|---|---|---|
| Set Abbreviation | RAD | The official short code used to identify the Radiance set in card lists and collection records. | Use RAD when filtering a collection or distinguishing Radiance cards from other Riftbound sets. |
| Card Number | Printed Radiance card number | The number assigned to a card within the Radiance set. | Use the set code together with the card number for physical card lookup. |
| Hero Identification | Radiance hero number and card name | Hero cards are identified through their official Radiance card record, including the assigned number and printed name. | Check both the number and the Champion or Legend name when organizing hero cards. |
| Code Type | Physical card identifier | RAD references identify cards in a printed trading-card set. | Do not enter RAD card numbers as videogame redemption codes or account rewards. |

Riftbound Radiance Booster and Rarity Guide
Understand how Radiance boosters, rarities, Showcase cards, and Ultimate Rares fit together.
Radiance booster products serve different purposes for players and collectors. Regular cards support deck construction, while higher-rarity and special-treatment cards add scarcity and visual appeal. Product contents and availability should be read from the official product information.
A sealed booster product intended for opening multiple Radiance packs. It can be used for a draft-style gathering, collection building, or opening a larger quantity of cards at once.
An individual Radiance booster pack containing a randomized selection of cards from the set. Pack openings can provide playable cards, duplicates, and cards from different rarity levels.
Rarity Levels
Radiance cards are distributed across official rarity levels. Rarity is a collecting and product-distribution attribute and does not by itself determine whether a card fits a particular deck.
Showcase cards are special presentations of selected cards, intended to provide an alternate visual treatment for collectors and players who enjoy premium versions.
Ultimate Rare cards are premium chase cards in the Radiance collecting structure. They are primarily associated with rarity and collection goals rather than a separate game rule.
Riftbound Radiance Preview Calendar
Track Radiance reveals and official updates from announcement sources across the preview season.
The preview calendar separates set-level announcements from individual card reveals. Each record identifies the publication timing available in the official source, the source category, the named card information, and the current publication status.
