Stacked Deck is what consistency looks like when it throws on a velvet blazer and saunters into a high-stakes brawl.
For 1 mana, this spell is one of the cleanest pieces of dig-and-filter Riftbound’s revealed so far.
Whether you’re smoothing out your opener or hunting down a game-ending play mid-combat, Stacked Deck doesn’t waste your time or tempo.
It’s flexible, lean, and fits into nearly every strategy that doesn’t want to risk topdeck RNG when the stakes are high.
Gameplay / Cool Mechanics
The text is simple: “Look at the top 3 cards of your Main Deck. Put 1 into your hand and recycle the rest.”
That “recycle” isn’t just aesthetic—it means those two other cards go back into circulation without clogging your draws.
The keyword “Action” means you can play it during your turn or in a showdown, so whether you’re digging for removal, a finisher, or just smoothing out a risky board state, Stacked Deck gives you options.
This isn’t just a cantrip. It’s a miniature sculptor. Control builds, combo cores, tempo decks—they all love this kind of tool.
The fact that it’s only 1 mana makes it practically frictionless in lists that run lean on curve.
Visuals
The art flexes subtle tension. Hands flash lotus-stamped cards across golden coins, while one fingers a single choice—maybe the winner, maybe the bluff.
There’s elegance and swagger here, but also precision. This isn’t luck. This is manipulation dressed as fate. The light glows warm, but the mood is cold-blooded.
Pull Rate & Value Speculation
Stacked Deck is card 183/298, and it’s probably a rare or uncommon depending on how powerful card filtering ends up in Riftbound’s economy.
It’s one of those staples that feels modest on paper but becomes essential across metas.
If it drops in foil, expect it to be a quiet hit with competitive grinders and aesthetic collectors alike—especially if the card back or tokens echo that gold-and-purple colorway.
An overnumbered version with a transparent card overlay or casino-themed alt art? Instant collectible.
