Treasure Trove is that kind of card that looks innocent, even goofy—until it starts dictating tempo.
Sitting at a 2-cost slot in the Gear lineup, it doesn’t scream power, but make no mistake: this is one of the cleanest value engines we’ve seen in Riftbound so far.
It slots right into decks that like to grind out incremental advantage, especially rune strategies and control builds that want cards to trade up or loop through the board.
Gameplay / Cool Mechanics
Here’s the play: Treasure Trove dies, you draw a card, and you channel 1 rune—exhausted, sure, but still triggered.
You can pop it manually too, thanks to the [Rune + Tap]: Kill this clause. That part matters. You’re not waiting on an opponent to clear it.
You decide when it goes. That makes it less of a gamble and more of a delayed burst.
Control players are going to love it. Aggro decks? Not so much—this thing’s too slow and too passive to swing board states by itself.
But in anything that values rune synergy or death triggers (or just needs a low-commitment draw piece), Treasure Trove is serious glue.
It doesn’t demand your deck revolve around it. It just makes your engine smoother.
Visuals
There’s something comic-tragic about the way Treasure Trove looks.
A golden glow bursts out of the chest like it’s about to blow, while jagged shards and stylized metal details hint that someone probably didn’t live to enjoy it.
The glow bleeds into cyan and pink shadows—like it’s valuable, but not safe. It’s a vibe. The art tells you exactly why the flavor text is “We’re gonna be rich! — Common last words.”
Pull Rate & Value Speculation
Treasure Trove is card #186/298. No alt version spotted yet, and it hasn’t shown up in overnumbered listings.
Still, with rune-channel decks looking to be one of the most modular sub-archetypes in Riftbound, this might sneak its way into early collector playsets.
If a major meta deck picks it up, its price will follow.
If you’re hunting for functional foils or cards that age well with a slow-burn value meta, Treasure Trove is worth keeping tabs on. It’s not flashy. But it’s a workhorse.
