Riftbound’s discard archetype just locked in its queen—Jinx.
And this alternate version isn’t just a cosmetic flex—it’s a full-color declaration that aggro-tempo decks can pack punch and personality.
Sitting at 5 cost with 5 attack and health, Jinx doesn’t aim for board presence—she aims for momentum, and she gets it the second you start pitching cards.
This version is part of Riftbound’s growing visual identity for champion alternates—same mechanics, different splash feel—and Jinx wears it like a badge of honor.
Gameplay / Cool Mechanics
Mechanically, Jinx from Riftbound TCG is one of the most aggressive payoff pieces for discard-focused lists. Her text is simple and brutal: “When you discard one or more cards, ready me and give me +1 power this turn.”
That’s big. Ready effects are rare in Riftbound’s current pool, especially on champions.
It means Jinx can attack twice, combo with discard spells, or just stay open for defense after bursting forward.
And because she doesn’t cap at once per turn, you can go off—looping value with each discard event. In the right build, she’s not just a threat—she’s a finisher.
The discard synergy opens doors for pairing with fast-cycle cards, unstable spells, and low-cost tempo options. It’s not just aggro—it’s chaos with a gameplan.
Visuals
This variant turns down the menace and cranks up the speed.
Hair swept back by momentum, wide grin stretching across her face, Jinx is practically mid-air.
The clouds are bruised with twilight, the wind trails off her coat, and the lighting hits like she just leapt into the next big mistake.
There’s joy here—not just destruction.
It’s the kind of art that reframes her as more thrill-seeker than saboteur. Still dangerous. Still untethered. Just in motion.
Pull Rate & Value Speculation
-
Set Number: OGN 202a/298
-
Alt Art Variant: Confirmed. This is a parallel print of the base Jinx card, marked with an ‘a’ suffix in collector numbering.
-
Foil Status: Not officially revealed, but high probability. Cards with alternate artwork typically receive foil prints in Riftbound’s structure.
-
Chase Potential: Very high. Jinx is a known character, strong synergy engine, and now has a collector variant. If discard builds find meta relevance, this version spikes in desirability.
Alt Jinx has the trifecta—playability, aesthetics, and franchise recognition. Even if you’re not running discard, you’ll want her in a sleeve.
This version of Jinx from Riftbound TCG trades tension for style—and it works.
If you’re hunting cards that feel good to both draw and play, this one’s worth the pull. And if discard builds explode? You’ll wish you grabbed her early
