Jax in Riftbound
Jax 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 Jax deck.
Jax's Legend
A Jax deck is led by Jax, Grandmaster at Arms, which plays Calm and Body. 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 |
|---|---|---|---|
| Jax, Grandmaster at Arms | Spiritforged | Calm and Body | [1], [Exhaust]: Attach a detached Equipment you control to a unit you control. [Exhaust]: Attach an attached Equipment you control to a unit you control. |
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 →
Jax's Signature cards
Jax 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 |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Counter Strike | Spiritforged | Signature spell | Calm and Body | 2 | [Reaction] (Play any time, even before spells and abilities resolve.) Choose a unit. The next time that unit would be dealt damage this turn, prevent it. Draw 1. |
Jax's champion units
Jax 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 Jax 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 |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Jax, Unmatched | Spiritforged | Calm | Rare | 5 | 5 | [Deflect] (Opponents must pay [Any Power] to choose me with a spell or ability.) Each Equipment in your hand has [Quick-Draw]. (It gains [Reaction]. When you play it, attach it to a unit you control.) |
| Jax, Unrelenting | Spiritforged | Body | Epic | 4 | 3 | [Weaponmaster] (When you play me, you may [Equip] one of your Equipment to me for [Any Power] less, even if it's already attached.) When you attach an Equipment to me, you may pay [1] to draw 1. |
Building aJax 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 Jax's cards each Legend can use.
| Legend | Domains | Chosen Champion options | Signature cards in its domains |
|---|---|---|---|
| Jax, Grandmaster at Arms | Calm and Body | Jax, Unmatched, Jax, Unrelenting | Counter Strike |
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 →
