Decisive Strike is Garen’s Signature Spell—and it hits like one.
Riftbound’s design philosophy leans hard into role clarity, and this card makes it brutally obvious what Demacia’s old guard is here to do: lead, buff, and crush lane matchups.
In wide-board midrange decks, Decisive Strike is the rallying cry that turns a winning board into a sealed deal.
Gameplay / Cool Mechanics
At 5 mana, Decisive Strike gives all friendly units +2 power for the turn.
It’s not flashy. It’s not tricky. But it is lethal. Especially in a game where lane-based combat rewards dominance through tempo and numbers.
Play it during your turn for a push, or drop it mid-showdown to suddenly flip the board and wreck your opponent’s calculations.
That +2 hits every unit, so even a modest field turns dangerous fast. It’s especially potent when paired with tokens or low-cost swarms—turning fodder into threats, and threats into finishers.
It’s also a clean follow-up to a successful Might of Demacia turn—draw off conquest, reload, and then slam Decisive Strike to force a second crack at lethal.
Very few decks will be able to bounce back from a clean double-lane takedown like that.
Visuals
Garen looks older here—grizzled, stoic, and more knight than general.
The muted lighting and falling leaves frame him like a final boss in a tactical RPG.
He’s not yelling. He’s not rushing. He’s just ready. That controlled posture adds weight to the card’s function.
This isn’t an emotional spell—it’s a decision. It’s calm violence.
The gold armor pops, and the framing centers that massive sword like it’s a divine weapon.
Demacia’s symbol glows faintly in the background, reinforcing the card’s national pride vibe.
