If you’re the kind of player who lives on the edge of chaos and loves flipping the game on its head, Invert Timelines is the spell you’ve been waiting for.
This isn’t a control tool. It’s a reset button disguised as a rush of opportunity. Riftbound already rewards tempo shifts and swing turns, and Invert Timelines fits right into that high-risk, high-reward style.
It’s the kind of card that lets both players gamble—but only one gets to profit.
Gameplay / Cool Mechanics
Here’s the deal: Invert Timelines makes both players discard their hand and then draw four new cards. That’s it. Simple, brutal, effective.
The power here lies in when you play it. If you’re sitting on an empty or nearly empty hand while your opponent’s hand is stacked with threats, this card is devastating.
You get four fresh tools while they dump premium cards they weren’t ready to lose. On the flip side, if you’re behind on board but have a dead hand, this can force a game-altering redraw.
You’ll need to plan your curve carefully and possibly run low-cost enablers to dump your hand fast before firing this off.
It’s a double-edged play, but the edge cuts deeper if you build around it. Aggro decks that burn out fast?
This is your refill. Combo decks with early filters and dead topdecks? This gets you back on plan. It’s not universal, but when it hits, it hits hard.
Visuals
The art for Invert Timelines gives a kinetic sense of reversal. Ekko’s gloved fist cracks straight through the frame, energy spiraling around a glimmering time device.
It’s not flashy for the sake of it—it’s tense, focused, with just enough sci-fi flare to drive home the moment before things rewind or collapse.
The blues and golds echo the Riftbound time domain palette, and the glow off the watch grounds the entire spell’s energy.

Collector Talk: This feels like a sleeper. Early in the season it might go under the radar, but in optimized aggro or tempo shells, Invert Timelines will start showing up. Foil versions, if they drop, could spike.
Invert Timelines isn’t just a tempo swing—it’s a philosophy. Burn your plan, draw a new one, and move fast.
The smart decks will know when to fold—and when to shuffle the whole damn hand.
