Poppy in Riftbound
Poppy 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 Poppy deck.
Poppy's Legend
A Poppy deck is led by Poppy, Keeper of the Hammer, which plays Body 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 |
|---|---|---|---|
| Poppy, Keeper of the Hammer | Unleashed | Body and Order | When you hold, gain 1 XP. Spend 3 XP, [Exhaust]: Draw 1. |
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 →
Poppy's Signature cards
Poppy 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 |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Keeper's Verdict | Unleashed | Signature spell | Body and Order | 2 | [Action] (Play on your turn or in showdowns.) Choose an enemy unit at a battlefield. Its owner places it on the top or bottom of their Main Deck. |
Poppy's champion units
Poppy 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 Poppy deck picks it from. Each has its own name, and the 3-copy limit counts each name apart.

| Poppy, Defender of the Meek | Unleashed | Order | Epic | 6 | 5 | You may spend 3 XP as an additional cost to play me. If you do, I cost [3] less. [Ambush] (You may play me as a [Reaction] to a battlefield where you have units.) [Tank] (I must be assigned combat damage first.) |
Building aPoppy 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 Poppy's cards each Legend can use.
| Legend | Domains | Chosen Champion options | Signature cards in its domains |
|---|---|---|---|
| Poppy, Keeper of the Hammer | Body and Order | Poppy, Paragon, Poppy, Defender of the Meek | Keeper's Verdict |
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 →
