Master Yi in Riftbound
Master Yi has 2 Legends, 2 Signature cards and 5 champion units in the released Riftbound sets. Here is every one, what it does, and how they fit together in a Master Yi deck.
Master Yi's Legends
Master Yi has 2 Legends, so a Master Yi deck can play 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.
Master Yi, Wuju Bladesman
OGS-019/024
Calm and Body · Proving Grounds
Master Yi, Wuju Master
UNL-191/219
Calm and Body · Unleashed
| Card | Set | Domain | Rules text |
|---|---|---|---|
| Master Yi, Wuju Bladesman | Proving Grounds | Calm and Body | While a friendly unit defends alone, it gets +2 [Might]. |
| Master Yi, Wuju Master | Unleashed | Calm and Body | [Level 6][>] Your units have +1 [Might]. (While you have 6+ XP, get the effect.) [Level 11][>] Your units enter ready. |
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 →
Master Yi's Signature cards
Master Yi has 2 Signature cards. 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.

UNL-192/219
Signature spell · Unleashed
| Card | Set | Type | Domain | Cost | Rules text |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Highlander | Proving Grounds | Signature spell | Calm and Body | 4 | [Reaction] (Play any time, even before spells and abilities resolve.) Choose a friendly unit. The next time it dies this turn, recall it exhausted instead. (Send it to base. This isn't a move.) |
| Alpha Strike | Unleashed | Signature spell | Calm and Body | 3 | [Action] (Play on your turn or in showdowns.) Choose a friendly unit. It deals damage equal to its Might split among enemy units at battlefields. Then for each unit this kills, do this: Gain 1 XP. |
Master Yi's champion units
Master Yi has 5 champion units across 2 sets. 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 Master Yi deck picks it from. Each has its own name, and the 3-copy limit counts each name apart.

Building aMaster Yi 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 Master Yi's cards each Legend can use.
| Legend | Domains | Chosen Champion options | Signature cards in its domains |
|---|---|---|---|
| Master Yi, Wuju Bladesman | Calm and Body | Master Yi, Meditative, Master Yi, Honed, Master Yi, Wuju Bladesman, Master Yi, Unstoppable, Master Yi, Tempered | Highlander, Alpha Strike |
| Master Yi, Wuju Master | Calm and Body | Master Yi, Meditative, Master Yi, Honed, Master Yi, Wuju Bladesman, Master Yi, Unstoppable, Master Yi, Tempered | Highlander, Alpha 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 →
