Avoid This Mistake (Start Here Instead)

Описание: Don’t buy Riftbound wrong. With Origins sold out everywhere and booster boxes hitting scalper prices, new players are getting ripped off before they even play their first game. In this Riftbound Beginner Guide, I’ll show you exactly how to start playing without overpaying, which starter deck you should buy first, and how to upgrade it into a real, playable deck using singles instead of gambling on boosters.

🔥 Top Meta Deck Prices (right now):

Kai’Sa — $663
Master Yi (Midrange) — $550
Master Yi (Aurora) — $776
Sett — $400
Annie — $427

If you’re new or casual, you do not need to spend this much.
The Viktor, Jinx, and Lee Sin Starter Decks are $20 MSRP—and they’re still the best way to learn Riftbound and start building your collection.

🛑 Avoid Overpaying for Riftbound

Most online listings show starters at $40 or more. Don’t buy at scalper prices.
