Teemo finally shows up to Riftbound, and Swift Scout is exactly the kind of off-tempo, mind-games engine you’d expect from the game’s most smug saboteur.
It’s not your typical aggro tool or control staple—it’s a tech card.
One that slows the game down just enough to make your opponent question every face-down card, every move, and every mushroom-free turn.
Gameplay / Cool Mechanics
Swift Scout is a Legend Teemo card that unlocks two deceptively powerful tricks. First, it changes the cost of hiding a card: you can pay 1 generic mana instead of spending a prep action.
That alone opens up some seriously sneaky lines, especially for decks that want to bait a reaction, fake tempo loss, or bluff a bigger unit coming next.
But the second ability is where Swift Scout really earns its name. For 1 mana and a tap, you can pull a Teemo unit back into your hand from the board or Champion Zone.
That’s a clean escape hatch for Teemo-centric strategies, giving you options to dodge targeted removal or re-trigger play effects.
It also plays beautifully with cards that reward repeated hiding or repositioning.
There’s some niche synergy here too—with Mushroom mechanics or trick-heavy stall decks that want to keep re-using Hidden triggers.
It’s not a power card on its own, but in the right build, it becomes a pivot piece.
Visuals
It’s peak Teemo. Standing tall (well, short) and proud, saluting with that smug “I know something you don’t” grin.
The colors are rich and cartoony—deep greens, teal hair, pink scarf—and the giant blowgun strapped across his back reminds you this cuteness comes with consequences.
It fits the gameplay perfectly: upbeat, unassuming, and quietly dangerous.
Pull Rate & Value Speculation
Swift Scout is card 263/298, a Legend-tier Teemo card in the Riftbound base set. As a named card tied to a major League personality, it’s got casual draw baked in.
If there’s a foil or alt-art version (none confirmed yet), it’s bound to be a chase—especially among Teemo mains and collectors who appreciate cards with flavor-rich utility.
Whether it becomes a meta staple depends on how dominant Hidden mechanics get in the early season, but from a collector and deckbuilding angle, Swift Scout offers a lot of ceiling.
There’s just too much mischief potential not to pay attention.
Swift Scout isn’t here to win on raw stats. It wins by being the smartest card on the table.
If you like playing mind games, ducking out of danger, or just watching opponents squirm—you’re going to want a playset.
