If there’s one card that screams “board wipe with teeth,” it’s Tibbers from Riftbound TCG.
Clocking in at a beefy 8-cost and punching with 7 power, this is Annie’s Signature Unit—and it doesn’t arrive quietly.
In a game where controlling the board is half the battle, Tibbers is your front-row seat to total field domination.
What makes this card immediately stand out isn’t just its raw statline or high cost—it’s the sheer presence it brings.
Riftbound has no shortage of flashy units and explosive effects, but Tibbers represents one of the first true red sweepers that doesn’t ask for setup. You don’t need combo pieces or conditions.
You drop Tibbers, and the battlefield burns. That alone makes it worth building around.
Gameplay / Cool Mechanics
Mechanically, Tibbers enters play and deals 3 damage to every unit at every battlefield. No targeting. No allies spared. Just straight-up area-of-effect mayhem.
That makes this not just a control tool, but a tempo-resetting play that punishes wide boards and punishes greedy tempo stacks on both sides.
This isn’t a “win more” bomb—it’s a “pull the emergency lever” bomb. And the fact that it leaves behind a 7-power body? That’s not just overkill—it’s insurance.
Post-wipe, you still control tempo going forward. If Annie’s already on board or feeding you rune acceleration, this drops much earlier than your opponent expects. And they will not be ready.
The synergy with red’s rune-play identity makes Tibbers from Riftbound TCG a standout in burn decks, midrange reset lists, or even greedy control piles that need a big panic button.
Visuals
The art on Tibbers is everything you want from a card like this: kinetic, full of heat, and slightly terrifying. The flaming teddy bear looms large, mouth open in a feral roar, eyes glowing like molten runes.
His stitched limbs blur into arcs of fire, creating a cyclone of rage. It’s playful, but not soft—this is the kind of toy that ends games, not comforts you after them.
The swirling flames completely dominate the frame, and the angle of the shot gives Tibbers a weight that sells his role as a battlefield-clearing force.
There’s nothing still or subtle here—it’s all aggression, fire, and forward motion.
Pull Rate & Value Speculation
Tibbers from Riftbound TCG is card 018/024 in the OGS subset. While we don’t have an official rarity yet, it’s clearly being treated as a premier red Signature Unit, which suggests it’ll land in the upper tier—either rare or potentially a mythic-equivalent.
The explosive impact of its effect plus its connection to the already-revealed Dark Child Annie makes it a likely chase for collectors building around red synergies.
Expect a foil version that really emphasizes the flame effects—possibly with shimmer effects on the background swirls and Tibbers’ eyes.
If any card from this set ends up getting a horizontal alt-art treatment, this one’s a top contender.
Tibbers doesn’t mess around. If you’re playing red and want a closer that clears the trash and stays on board to finish the job, this card’s already in your future list. Burn the board, then bear hug what’s left.
