Irelia in Riftbound
Irelia 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 an Irelia deck.
Irelia's Legend
An Irelia deck is led by Irelia, Blade Dancer, which plays Calm and Chaos. 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 |
|---|---|---|---|
| Irelia, Blade Dancer | Spiritforged | Calm and Chaos | When you choose a friendly unit, you may exhaust me and pay [Any Power] to ready it. When you conquer, you may pay [1] to ready me. |
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 →
Irelia's Signature cards
Irelia 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 |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Defiant Dance | Spiritforged | Signature spell | Calm and Chaos | 1 | [Reaction] (Play any time, even before spells and abilities resolve.) Give a unit +2 [Might] this turn and another unit -2 [Might] this turn. |
Irelia's champion units
Irelia 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 an Irelia 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 |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Irelia, Fervent | Spiritforged | Calm | Epic | 5 | 4 | [Deflect] (Opponents must pay [Any Power] to choose me with a spell or ability.) When you choose or ready me, give me +1 [Might] this turn. |
| Irelia, Graceful | Spiritforged | Chaos | Rare | 4 | 4 | Your spells that choose me cost [1] or [Any Power] less. |
Building anIrelia 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 Irelia's cards each Legend can use.
| Legend | Domains | Chosen Champion options | Signature cards in its domains |
|---|---|---|---|
| Irelia, Blade Dancer | Calm and Chaos | Irelia, Fervent, Irelia, Graceful | Defiant Dance |
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 →
