Kayn Unleashed drops in with all the aggression you’d expect from a Champion Unit and none of the restraint.
This is Riftbound’s first Ionia-based high-cost ganker, and it doesn’t show up to trade blows—it shows up to dominate.
With a clean 6/6 body and one of the most lethal movement-based triggers we’ve seen so far, Kayn Unleashed isn’t just another big-body card. It’s a statement.
This fits squarely into any mid-to-late tempo deck that thrives on battlefield rotation.
If your Riftbound strategy leans aggressive but you don’t want to fold late game, Kayn Unleashed gives you a win condition that keeps swinging.
Gameplay / Cool Mechanics
Kayn Unleashed brings the Ganking keyword—“I can move from battlefield to battlefield.”
That’s already a headache for opponents trying to read your tempo shifts. But the real spice? “If I have moved twice this turn, I don’t take damage.”
This flips the usual risk-reward of combat. With two gank-triggered moves in a turn, Kayn becomes untouchable during battle.
That means he can face-check any board threat without blinking. If your deck runs bounce mechanics, gear buffs, or anything that grants extra moves, Kayn Unleashed turns into a near-immortal assassin.
It’s not just strong—it’s warping. Kayn is going to force people to play around the possibility of him going invulnerable, which shifts how your opponent sets up turns even if you’re not planning to abuse it. That psychological pressure is gameplay value on its own.
Visuals
Kayn’s artwork sells the aggression. It’s mid-lunge, face twisted into that classic highborn rage. Cloak swept back, scythe arm extended, the motion in the piece feels almost cinematic.
The lighting’s moody, with a blood-red blur behind him that bleeds into his energy trail. You can practically feel him cutting through the scene—and the game board.
It’s not just a cool action pose. It’s tailored to his mechanics. He’s not standing and swinging—he’s moving. Constantly.
Pull Rate & Value Speculation
Kayn Unleashed is card 189 out of 298 in Riftbound’s base set. As a named Champion Unit with a strong mechanical identity, it’s highly likely this comes in rare or higher.
If this hits foil, that red-purple effect trail is going to gleam hard in-hand. So far, no alt-art or overnumbered variant is confirmed, but if he gets one, it’s going to be a collector chase without question.
From a meta perspective, Kayn Unleashed is a problem solver. You drop this when your opponent thinks the board’s locked, and you just start slashing lanes open.
Kayn Unleashed is a brawler’s dream—high ceiling, high pressure, and a threat that moves as fast as it hits.
Expect to see him in every serious Ionia deck and possibly as a splash in multi-region builds built around battlefield dominance.
If you’re drafting or cracking packs, he’s a must-watch pull.
