If you’re building around power in Riftbound, Relentless Storm is your lightning rod.
Sitting in the Legend slot and tied to Volibear, this card rewards Mighty synergies with real rune economy, and it doesn’t blink. You want consistency in a redline midrange stack?
Or a rune-fueled Volibear channel line? This is your backbone. Relentless Storm isn’t splashy. It’s brutal, deliberate, and locked in—exactly what it should be.
Gameplay / Cool Mechanics
Let’s talk numbers. Relentless Storm triggers whenever you play a Mighty unit—defined in Riftbound as anything with 5+ attack—and lets you exhaust it to channel 1 rune, even while exhausted.
That’s a clean value loop for decks that want to curve heavy hitters and stay rune-positive without relying on spells or tempo dips.
This is not ramp. This is efficiency. Exhausting a Legend to fuel runes used to feel like a cost.
Not here. If you’re already sequencing Mighty threats, Volibear’s Relentless Storm flips the table—now you gain tempo and board pressure while your opponent’s stuck clearing 5-power monsters with no rune breathing room.
It’s particularly nasty in decks running Skornsplitter, Berserker packs, or anything else that vomits out 5-power units for cheap.
Toss this into a brute-force rune weapon stack, and suddenly your whole hand has ammo for burst turns.
Visuals
Alex Flores nails the aesthetic here. Relentless Storm shows Volibear mid-roar, mid-blitz, mid–everything. His mane crackles with static.
The shadows around him are shattered by electric blue arcs, and even the metal cuffs on his arms look half-melted from channel overload. You can feel the pressure. It’s not cinematic—it’s physical.
The background’s minimal, because Volibear is the storm. There’s no scene here. No context. Just raw force at the center of the card. And that’s the point.

Relentless Storm is an overnumbered Legend, pushing it into chase territory whether or not it breaks the meta.
As rune-based engines and Mighty builds gain traction, this card has clear synergy value—and if a Volibear deck goes Tier 1, expect this to be part of it.
The channel trigger is unique, efficient, and hard to replace.
Volibear doesn’t ask. Relentless Storm just hits the board and starts printing runes. No fluff. No setup. Just power channeled into pressure.
If your plan is to overwhelm, this card is the fuse.
