Windswept Hillock is the kind of Battlefield that doesn’t just sit there—it breathes flexibility into your board.
Revealed during the home stretch of Riftbound’s Preview Season, this card quietly introduces one of the game’s most strategically bendable mechanics.
It’s not splashy, but in control and midrange lists that thrive on tight positioning and layered plays, Windswept Hillock could be a staple.
Gameplay / Cool Mechanics
The rules text is as follows:
“Units here have Gaming (They can move from battlefield to battlefield.)”
Simple, but deceptively deep. Windswept Hillock gives every unit stationed on it the ability to reposition across battlefields—a feature otherwise limited to rare units or specific gear.
That means you can station a support unit here, buff something elsewhere next turn, or bring a bruiser in when the moment’s right. It’s a playground for movement-based decks and tempo disruptors.
In Riftbound’s turn-based structure, where timing and placement matter as much as stats, Gaming isn’t just a nice-to-have—it’s a pressure valve. You bait. You pivot. You retreat. Then you swing. And the best part? You don’t need to build around it. It just works.
One hot angle: combo this with on-enter or on-leave triggers for loopable value.
Move out, cast, move back in. You start to see how Windswept Hillock opens lanes of play that other Battlefields can’t match.
Visuals
This one’s a serene, sky-brushed cliffside with floating wind bridges and glints of soft sunlight. The perspective pans wide, making the whole thing feel open and mobile—like anything could blow in or out at any moment.
The cherry blossom trees add just enough color to break the calm, hinting that yeah, there’s beauty here—but also change. It’s a peaceful place with momentum under the surface.

At 297/298, Windswept Hillock is near the tail end of the main set, just shy of the overnumbered collector slots.
If a foil version exists, it’s likely to land well with players chasing Battlefield aesthetics or building signature decks around mobility.
It may not be a meta-breaking card, but it is a meta-shifting tool—exactly the kind of tech that becomes quietly vital.
Windswept Hillock is what you play when you want options. You don’t lock yourself into a lane.
You don’t overcommit. You dance. It’s smart card design—and one that’ll reward patient players who know when to pivot.
