There are cards that deal damage. Cards that stall. Cards that draw. And then there’s Convergent Mutation—a bizarre little two-cost spell that doesn’t do any of those directly but might just flip the board anyway.
It’s one of the weirder tech tools revealed so far in Riftbound’s Preview Season, and exactly the kind of card that’ll have skilled players rubbing their hands and brewing like mad.
Gameplay / Cool Mechanics
Convergent Mutation is a reaction-speed spell that lets you choose a friendly unit and bump its Might to match another friendly unit’s Might. That’s it—but don’t let the simplicity fool you.
This is pure value transfer. You can set up low-cost utility or tempo bodies—then use Convergent Mutation to turn one of them into a sudden threat.
It doesn’t buff permanently across turns, but in Riftbound’s tempo-based scoring and combat phases, one turn is often all you need.
It’s also reaction-speed, meaning you can sneak it in mid-combat or after a trade to punish overextensions.
The real spice here is the flexibility. Pair it with units that scale or receive buffs over time, or double down on units with Might-triggered effects (assuming there are more in the set).
In draft, this is a sneaky finisher. In constructed, it’s a build-around enabler.
Visuals
Let’s talk about that art. You’re looking at a creature mid-mutation—an oozing, asymmetrical bat-goblin with big curious eyes and limbs that don’t quite know what shape they’re supposed to be yet. It’s grotesque but also weirdly adorable.
The translucent greens and goopy highlights make it feel alive in motion, like it’s still forming itself. The art sells the idea of a body being rewritten by external forces—unpredictable, unnatural, and slightly hilarious.
Pull Rate & Value Speculation
Convergent Mutation is card 108/298, so part of the core Riftbound TCG lineup. No confirmed rarity yet, but it feels like a rare or high-tier uncommon based on its tactical nuance.
No sign of foil or alt-art yet, but if any card could use a grotesque-adorable variant, it’s this one.
Collectors who lean toward weird, meme-worthy art or playable sleeper hits should keep an eye on this.
It’s the kind of card that sneaks into tier decks once someone breaks the right combo—and its art will definitely attract the off-meta crowd.
