Hallowed Tomb is shaping up to be one of the most strategic Battlefield cards in Riftbound TCG so far.
While many Battlefields lean into tempo or passive value, this one flips the script—it’s a second chance.
For any deck built around a pivotal Champion, Hallowed Tomb is less of a location and more of a reset button.
It’s especially crucial in late-game grind matchups where losing your wincon isn’t just bad—it’s fatal.
Gameplay / Cool Mechanics
The mechanic is simple but brutal in its impact:
“When you hold here, you may return your Chosen Champion from your trash to your Champion Zone if it is empty.”
That’s not a “maybe useful” ability. That’s game-swinging. You’re not getting some random creature or a filler spell—you’re retrieving your Chosen Champion.
In a system where Champions are linchpins for board presence, synergy, and alt win conditions, Hallowed Tomb can be the lifeline that turns your L into a grindy W.
The condition that your Champion Zone must be empty prevents abuse, but smart sequencing—especially in mirror control matchups or longer attrition fights—makes this Battlefield a must-answer location.
Expect it to become a sideboard staple or even a mainstay for slower metas.
Visuals
The art on Hallowed Tomb lands hard. It’s solemn, cold, and lit like an underwater cathedral.
The tomb is sunken into the rock, surrounded by dark roots and lingering spirits.
What hits hardest, though, is the light—soft blue, trailing up from the sarcophagus like it’s waiting for something. It fits perfectly with the card’s effect. This is resurrection, not revival. Heavy, but still full of purpose.
Pull Rate & Value Speculation
Hallowed Tomb is card 289/298, placing it deep into the Battlefield pool of the Riftbound base set.
Based on card function and placement, it likely slots in at uncommon or rare, but we wouldn’t be surprised to see this get a foil treatment—especially if it becomes a go-to for Champion-heavy decks.
There’s no word yet on alt-art or overnumbered versions, but if this gets a special frame or animated foil, expect high demand from both collectors and competitive players.
Hallowed Tomb has sleeper-hit energy.
