Some Champion cards show up to flex. Anivia from Riftbound TCG shows up to erase your opponent’s board and freeze what’s left of their spirit.
Sitting at a hefty 7 Energy cost with a dominant 8 Power, this Freljordian juggernaut isn’t just another big finisher—she’s a primal force that tilts the table as soon as she attacks.
Gameplay / Cool Mechanics
Anivia has one job, and she does it with brutal efficiency: “When I attack, deal 3 to all enemy units here.”
That’s a wide, no-nonsense AoE that triggers on swing, not resolution. You don’t have to wait for her to survive combat.
You don’t even need to kill her for value. You drop her, attack, and sweep a lane clean—possibly the entire board if your opponent stacked it.
This makes her a brutal anti-swarm answer, a tempo-shattering bomb, and possibly one of the nastiest mid-to-late game stabilizers we’ve seen in the set so far.
She doesn’t just trade well—she often trades for free, wiping multiple threats while remaining an 8-power body that must be dealt with immediately.
She’s a control player’s dream and a token player’s nightmare.
This kind of effect forces your opponent to either hold back on development or risk getting snowplowed. If she ever gets to swing twice, it’s probably already over.
Visuals
The art on Anivia is ice-cold perfection. Her wingspan cuts across the entire card in a diagonal cascade of glacial blues, framed by a crackling twilight sky.
Below her, a blizzard drowns a battlefield in chaos—tiny figures scattered like ants under a storm they can’t outrun.
There’s a sense of divine punishment here, not just nature’s wrath.
The orange flare in her chest adds that perfect contrast: cold power, burning with resolve. It’s not flashy. It’s final.
Pull Rate & Value Speculation
Anivia from Riftbound TCG is card #148/298 and clearly a Champion Unit, likely Rare or higher.
No foil status or alt arts confirmed yet, but this is the type of card that screams showcase treatment.
If Riftbound introduces full-art Champion variants or overnumbered foils, Anivia is an obvious candidate.
Not just for power level—but because that full wingspan deserves room to breathe.
Collectors are going to want her just for the art. Competitive players will want her for control decks, board wipes, or Primal builds that can ramp to 7 reliably.
Expect this to be one of the chase Champion cards from the Freljord suite, especially if the meta leans wide.
Anivia doesn’t just clean up the board—she warns you first. And then she does it again.
If you’re playing around her, you’re already behind. If you’re playing her, it’s just a matter of time.
