Performance and music are the main themes of Riftbound’s fifth set, Radiance. With cards now in the hands of fans worldwide, we wanted to take a look at which ones are the most sought after. Let’s check out the most valuable cards in Riftbound: Radiance!
10. Riven, The Exile (Overnumbered) – Showcase, 173/167
With a very powerful ability that allows you to play readied units to battlefields, it’s no wonder that Riven, The Exile is a popular Legend. This alt art, Showcase variant of the card doesn’t even have a signature, but is still sought after enough that it’s made to the most valuable Riftbound: Radiance cards list!
9. K’Sante, Pride of Nazumah (Signature) – Showcase, 172*/167
With this Showcase, Signature variant of K’Sante, we have our first autographed card. Each Signature card is the alternate art version with one difference: a stamped signature by the card’s artist. Almost all of the cards on this list from here on out are Signature variants, as you’ll see!
8. Packed Amphitheater (Ultimate) – Showcase, 184/167
Here we have the Radiance set’s only Ultimate Rare card. In fact, this is only the second Ultimate Rare card for Riftbound ever. The first was Baron Nashor, from the Unleashed set. These cards, along with the other cards on this list, look so much more spectacular in hand than they do on a screen. Several, textured layers and foil treatment make them unbelievably eye-catching. Given the scarcity and aesthetics of the Packed Amphitheater’s Ultimate Rare variant, it’s no wonder it appears on this list!
7. Orianna, Lady of Clockwork (Signature) – Showcase, 171*/167
Here’s the next Signature card, this time featuring Orianna. All of these cards feature incredible artwork, and the Signature variants are a very rare find. They’re estimated to be found in just 1 in every 700 packs, so it’s no surprise at all that Signature cards dominate this list.
6. Ekko, Boy Who Shattered Time (Signature) – Showcase, 168*/167
As a standout character from the animated show Arcane, Ekko is an extremely popular Legend. This card art is also used on play mats and other accessories in the Radiance set, so it’s clear that Riot understand the assignment when it comes to Ekko!
5. Ezreal, Dashing (Heartsteel Signature) – Showcase, 180*/167
Riot Games created a virtual boy band for League of Legends, named Heartsteel. The group make their debut in Riftbound thanks to the Radiance set. It’s perfect timing, given that Radiance is all about performance, with an underlying musical theme. This Ezreal card is one of two to make it onto this list!
4. Aphelios, Exalted (Heartsteel Signature) – Showcase, 179*/167
Here’s the second Heartsteel card on the list of the most valuable cards in Riftbound: Radiance. Note that the members of Heartsteel also exist as regular characters in League of Legends; both Aphelios and Ezreal have appeared on numerous cards in Riftbound previously. Just not in their Heartsteel guises!
3. Mordekaiser, Iron Revenant (Signature) – Showcase, 170/167
Radiance also marks the debut of Mordekaiser in Riftbound. He appears on several cards in the set, but unsurprisingly his Showcase, Signature card is the one which fans are most keen to get their hands on!
2. Seraphine, Starry-Eyed Songstress (Signature) – Showcase, 174*/167
This Seraphine card features one of the most iconic pieces of art from the Radiance set overall. Just like Ekko, you can find this art on playmats and other accessories too. It’s a brilliant showcase for the set’s theme of performance, with its beautiful colors and striking art which features the Legend singing with all the power she can muster.
1. Riven, The Exile (Signature) – Showcase, 173*/167
Finally, we’re back to Riven, who bookends the list with the Signature variant of her Showcase card. Given how popular and sought after this variant of the card is, we’re not surprised to see both the Showcase and Signature variants appear. It is worth noting, however, that if you want this card specifically for using in-game, the standard, Rare variant is actually very cheap indeed!
