Some Battlefields in Riftbound scream tempo or control. Startripped Peak whispers value—but that whisper could echo through your whole deck.
Quietly one of the smartest resource enablers revealed so far, Startripped Peak gives you access to exhausted rune-channeling, pushing it firmly into combo support or long-game decks that need to squeeze more out of every zone.
Gameplay / Cool Mechanics
The text is clean: “When you hold here, you may channel 1 rune exhausted.”
That’s the kind of line that’ll fly under radar for newer players, but it has massive implications.
In Riftbound, channeling a rune is usually a once-per-turn effect tied to tempo. Exhausted runes? That’s an untapped well—if you can find a way to convert those into fuel.
Startripped Peak turns holding a position into mana recursion. This battlefield lets slower decks re-channel resources and stretch advantage turns long after the usual limit.
It’s not flashy, but this is the kind of card control or combo players drool over. Hold it long enough, and you outpace.
Pair it with cards that manipulate rune states or bank rune energy? Suddenly you’re two steps ahead every cycle.
Niche? Maybe. But in the right list, it becomes a linchpin.
Visuals
Startripped Peak shows exactly what it promises—a divine summit erupting into the heavens, seemingly tearing through the atmosphere with frozen, ancient energy.
The icy architecture swirls upward like magic frozen mid-cast, with a mirrored reflection in the skies below. The framing suggests it’s almost above reality, as if the battlefield floats at the edge of a new dimension.
The mood is meditative, surreal, and ancient—perfect for a card that reshapes how your deck connects with fundamental energy.
