Maddened Marauder is chaos in card form—and sometimes, that’s exactly what your Bilgewater line-up needs.
At five cost and four power, it’s not here to finesse anything. This unit is a bruiser with disruptive upside, perfect for players who love slamming cards and watching opponents scatter.
It’s not flashy tempo. It’s a crowbar to the rhythm of the game.
Gameplay / Cool Mechanics
This is a TANK unit, which means it must eat combat damage first, soaking up pressure and buying time. But the real tech is on entry: When you play me, move a unit from a battlefield to its base.
That’s board disruption—hard stop. No damage, no counterplay. If your opponent just locked in a setup or planted a fragile carry behind a frontline, Maddened Marauder makes them start over.
This plays especially well when you’re behind. Pull their best piece off tempo and force inefficient redeployment.
Pair it with units that punish battlefield re-entry or with delay tactics like traps and removal. It’s not “kill” energy—it’s “sit down, start again” energy.
Five mana is a chunky ask, but in any midrange Bilgewater build, you’ll welcome a body that messes with your opponent’s game plan and survives a few hits.
Visuals
The art nails the name. Maddened Marauder is mid-bite—eyes wide, posture manic, and jaw unhinged as it devours a sailor’s leg like it’s lunch.
There’s no elegance here. No honor. Just the raw hunger of a pirate beast that probably shouldn’t be allowed to touch shore.
In the background, chaos reigns—wood splintering, crew panicking, the sea churning just out of frame.
This card doesn’t look like it plans anything. But it sure as hell ends things.
Pull Rate & Value Speculation
Maddened Marauder is card 191 of 298 in the main Riftbound set. No rarity icon confirmed yet, but the disruptive nature plus Bilgewater flavor screams uncommon—maybe rare in foil.
If it gets an alt art, expect full chaos: probably teeth-first. It’s unlikely to be a chase card on power level alone, but in the right deck, it becomes meta glue.
Keep an eye out during the first few tournaments—it could spike in value if tempo bounces dominate.
Maddened Marauder isn’t graceful, but it doesn’t need to be.
It punches your board state out of alignment, tanks hits, and chews scenery the whole way through. Exactly what Bilgewater deserves.
