Riot sent me a fantastic box, and one of the things I’ve been enjoying most about Riftbound: Radiance isn’t necessarily the new mechanics or the cards themselves. It’s how well Riot has managed to capture the champions and their playstyles from League of Legends.

You’re tossing bombs onto battlefields, setting up explosions, and making life miserable for anyone trying to take control of them. It’s chaotic, it’s destructive, and it feels exactly like playing Ziggs should.
