Yasuo Remorseful slots right into midrange control decks as a reliable six-mana finisher with built-in removal.
In a set packed with tempo swings, this Ionia champion stands out by combining raw stats with targeted removal—exactly the kind of flexible tool green decks crave.
Riftbound’s emphasis on resource-driven effects plays perfectly into Yasuo Remorseful’s Might synergy, making him feel both classic and fresh.
Gameplay / Cool Mechanics
At six mana for a 6 power, 6 health Champion Unit, Yasuo Remorseful hits the board hard. His attack trigger—“When I attack, deal damage equal to my Might to an enemy unit here”—lets him clear blockers or soften down larger threats as he swings.
Decks that ramp early into Might-boosting cards (like Calm Rune or Meditation) will push Yasuo’s damage ceiling well beyond six, turning him into a true game-ender.
Unlike one-and-done board wipes, Yasuo can reliably chip away at key units over multiple turns, all while serving as a beefy attacker.
His synergy with Ionia’s resource toolbox—runic counterspells and bounce effects—ensures he not only sticks around but also strikes with maximum impact.
Visuals
Greg Ghiemletti & Leah Chen’s artwork captures a weathered Yasuo in mid-stride, his torn blue cloak rippling in a sunlit grove.
The framing pulls your eye from the determined glare in his eyes down to the gleaming, serrated wind-forged blade strapped to his back.
Warm golds and cool greens collide in the background foliage, evoking both the serenity and the tension of an Ionia battlefield.
Every brushstroke on his scarred chest and wrapped gauntlet hints at a warrior burdened by regret, perfectly echoing the “Remorseful” epithet.

Collector Insight: Early buzz pegs the regular foil around $15–$18 as control archetypes form. Alt-art copies could fetch $30–$40 among collectors chasing the more dramatic palette. If Might ramp spikes in popularity, Yasuo Remorseful’s value is set to climb sharply in secondary markets.
Yasuo Remorseful delivers on both form and function, marrying evocative art with a versatile mechanic that rewards strategic deckbuilding.
He’s the kind of champion you’ll draft, trade for, and never forget—just as in Ionia, every blade leaves a mark.
