If Teemo’s Swift Scout is the setup, then Guerilla Warfare is the punchline.
Revealed as part of Riftbound TCG’s expanding Hidden toolkit, this Signature Spell is pure recursion with a side of cost-breaking abuse.
And at just 2 mana, it’s shaping up to be one of the most efficient Hidden enablers we’ve seen so far.
Gameplay / Cool Mechanics
Guerilla Warfare brings back two Hidden cards from your trash to your hand and lets you ignore their hiding costs for the turn.
That means you’re not just reloading—you’re deploying immediately, and you’re doing it fast.
This breaks tempo expectations hard. Most recursion cards in Riftbound lean toward grindy value, but Guerilla Warfare accelerates the game instead of slowing it.
It’s a mid-game slingshot that pushes Hidden decks from trickle to avalanche.
And because Hidden cards tend to reward mind games and delayed pressure, being able to suddenly flood two back-to-back is a nightmare for control decks and a dream for tempo builds.
Combine this with anything that benefits from Hidden reveals or enters-play triggers, and it starts to feel a little busted.
Visuals
Teemo’s mushroom bomb is mid-detonation here—swirling with a violently cheerful splash of purples and greens.
The bright pink shockwave rips out from the center in jagged arcs, drawing your eye straight to the fist-sized explosion.
It’s a stylized take on what should be chaotic, and that contrast gives it punch.
It doesn’t feel like destruction for destruction’s sake. It’s sabotage—controlled, intentional, and cheekily overdone. Just like the spell effect itself.
Pull Rate & Value Speculation
Guerilla Warfare is card 264/298, tagged as a Signature Spell for Teemo.
While rarity isn’t marked directly, it’s a utility card that looks to be part of the core Hidden archetype—so expect demand from multiple directions.
There’s no word on alt art or foil status yet, but this is the kind of card that could carry a lot of weight in meta-defining lists, especially if Hidden decks prove tournament-viable.
Casual Teemo fans will want it regardless.
If you’re speccing on Riftbound sleeper staples, this is one to flag.
Guerilla Warfare doesn’t just bring Hidden cards back—it makes sure they matter right now.
It’s fast, disruptive, and absurdly efficient in the right hands. Expect it to show up early, often, and with way more impact than its cost suggests.
