Darius in Riftbound
Darius has 1 Legend, 1 Signature card and 2 champion units in the released Riftbound sets. Here is every one, what it does, and how they fit together in a Darius deck.
Darius's Legend
A Darius deck is led by Darius, Hand of Noxus, which plays Fury and Order. The Legend is the card that leads your deck: its tag names your champion and its two domains are the only ones your other cards can come from.
| Card | Set | Domain | Rules text |
|---|---|---|---|
| Darius, Hand of Noxus | Origins | Fury and Order | [Exhaust]: [Reaction], [Legion] — [Add] [1]. (Abilities that add resources can't be reacted to. Get the effect if you've played a card this turn.) |
Text is as Riot's card gallery gives it, with icons in brackets: [1] is 1 Energy, [Any Power] is 1 Power of any domain and [Exhaust] means turn the card sideways. Every Riftbound Legend →
Darius's Signature cards
Darius has 1 Signature card. A Signature card carries one champion's tag, and only a deck whose Legend names that champion can play it. Your deck can hold at most 3 Signature cards in total, counting copies.
| Card | Set | Type | Domain | Cost | Rules text |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Noxian Guillotine | Origins | Signature spell | Fury and Order | 4 | [Action] (Play on your turn or in showdowns.) Choose a unit. Kill it the next time it takes damage this turn. [Legion] — Kill it now instead. (Get the effect if you've played another card this turn.) |
Darius's champion units
Darius has 2 champion units across 1 set. One copy of a champion unit sits out as your Chosen Champion, which must carry your Legend's tag, so these are the cards a Darius deck picks it from. Each has its own name, and the 3-copy limit counts each name apart.
| Card | Set | Domain | Rarity | Cost | Might | Rules text |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Darius, Trifarian | Origins | Fury | Rare | 5 | 5 | When you play your second card in a turn, give me +2 [Might] this turn and ready me. |
| Darius, Executioner | Origins | Order | Epic | 6 | 6 | [Legion] — When you play me, ready me. (Get the effect if you've played another card this turn) Other friendly units have +1 [Might] here. |
Building aDarius deck
A Riftbound deck has 1 Legend, a main deck of at least 40 cards, 12 runes and 3 battlefields. Every card in the main deck has to come from your Legend's two domains, which decides which of Darius's cards each Legend can use.
| Legend | Domains | Chosen Champion options | Signature cards in its domains |
|---|---|---|---|
| Darius, Hand of Noxus | Fury and Order | Darius, Trifarian, Darius, Executioner | Noxian Guillotine |
A champion unit can be your Chosen Champion only if every domain it has is one of your Legend's two. Units of other champions can still go in your main deck as ordinary cards if their domains fit. The full deck-building rules → Published Riftbound decks →
