Unleashed just launched and you are looking at a Riftbound Spiritforged booster box wondering if it is already yesterday’s news. It is not. Spiritforged is the second set and every card in it is fully legal in the current constructed format alongside Unleashed cards. Whether a booster box is the right way to access those cards is a different question, and this guide answers it directly.
Page last updated: 3 May 2026. Unleashed is now live. Spiritforged remains the current second set and all cards are legal in constructed play.
What Is in a Spiritforged Booster Box?
Each Riftbound Spiritforged booster box contains 24 packs, and each pack has 14 cards. Here is how those 14 cards break down per pack:
| Cards | What You Get |
|---|---|
| 7 Cards | Commons |
| 3 Cards | Uncommons |
| 2 Cards | Foil Rares or better |
| 1 Card | Foil of any rarity |
| 1 Card | Token card |
Across a full box of 24 packs, Riot confirms you can expect 6 or more Epic rarity cards and 2 or more special alternate-art cards on average. That is the floor, not a guarantee on specific cards.
The set pulls from a pool of 221 cards plus 60 or more alternate-art variants. You will not complete the set from a single box, and you will almost certainly not pull the specific cards you are hoping for. That is just how pack opening works. Going in with that expectation matters.
What Is Spiritforged? A Quick Overview
Spiritforged is the second set for Riftbound, released in February 2026. It introduced Fiora and Rumble as new Legends and added three mechanics that you will see on cards throughout the set:
- Equipment: A card type that attaches to a unit and stays on the board. If an equipped unit is removed, the equipment returns to your base rather than being lost.
- Gold: A single-use token gear that lets you pay a Power cost without recycling a rune. It gives certain strategies extra reach in a turn.
- Repeat: An optional extra cost on some spells. Pay it and the spell fires a second time, sometimes with a new target.
These mechanics sit alongside Unleashed’s XP, Hunt, and Ambush in the current constructed card pool. The two sets are designed to work together, not against each other.
Is the Spiritforged Booster Box Worth Buying Now?
The concern most people have at this point is a reasonable one: Unleashed just launched, so does Spiritforged still matter? It does. All 221 Spiritforged cards are legal in the current constructed format. That is not a temporary reprieve; it is just how Riftbound’s card pool works. Buying Spiritforged product now is buying into the same legal card pool as Unleashed.
That said, the booster box is not the right product for everyone.
The booster box makes sense if you already have a deck and want to expand your collection across a broad range of Spiritforged cards. At $120 MSRP for 24 packs, you are getting 336 cards from a 221-card set, with a guaranteed floor of 6 or more Epics and 2 or more special alternate arts. Check current pricing on TCGPlayer before buying, as market prices shift after a new set releases.
The booster box does not make sense if you have a specific list of Spiritforged cards you want for upgrades. In that case, buying those singles on TCGPlayer gets you exactly what you need without the randomness. A box is a wide net; singles buying is a scalpel.
If you are brand new to Riftbound and have not bought a deck yet, start with an Unleashed Champion Deck. The Vi and Vex preconstructed decks are the current entry point for new players. See our guides on the Vi Champion Deck and the Vex Champion Deck for a full breakdown of each.

Does Spiritforged Still Matter Now Unleashed Is Out?
Yes. The worry that an older set becomes irrelevant when a new one drops is common in TCGs, and it is worth addressing directly. Riftbound is not a rotation format at this stage. Spiritforged cards are not rotating out. They are part of the same constructed pool as Unleashed cards, and that means any card from Spiritforged that is useful is still useful today.
What does change after a new set releases is that the Spiritforged card pool becomes more established. Singles prices have had time to settle. The cards players actually want are identifiable. If you are looking to target specific Spiritforged singles to upgrade your Unleashed deck, right now is a reasonable time to do it on TCGPlayer, because the market is more stable than it was at Spiritforged launch.
A booster box gives you a wide sample of the set rather than targeted access to specific cards. Whether that trade-off suits you depends on how you want to build your collection.

Final Verdict
If you are looking to expand beyond your Unleashed starter deck and want a broad pool of Spiritforged cards to work with, the booster box is worth it. You get 24 packs, a guaranteed floor of Epics and alternate arts, and access to the full Spiritforged card pool in one purchase.
If you are brand new to the game and have not bought an Unleashed deck yet, start there first. The Vi and Vex Champion Decks are the current entry point. Come back to Spiritforged once you know what you want from it.
