Riftbound · Champions
Shen in Riftbound
Shen has 1 Legend, 1 Signature card and 3 champion units in the released Riftbound sets. Here is every one, what it does, and how they fit together in a Shen deck.
Shen's Legend
A Shen deck is led by Shen, Eye of Twilight, which plays Calm 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 |
|---|---|---|---|
| Shen, Eye of Twilight | Vendetta | Calm and Order | [Action][>] [Exhaust]: Give a friendly unit [Tank] this turn. (It must be assigned combat damage first.) |
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 →
Shen's Signature cards
Shen 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 |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Shadow Dash | Vendetta | Signature spell | Calm and Order | 2 | Move an enemy unit to a battlefield where you have units. If you have exactly two units there, they each get +1 [Might] this turn. [Flow] [5][Any Power][Any Power] (You may play this from your trash for its Flow cost. Then banish it.) |
Shen's champion units
Shen has 3 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 Shen deck picks it from. Each has its own name, and the 3-copy limit counts each name apart.

Building aShen 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 Shen's cards each Legend can use.
| Legend | Domains | Chosen Champion options | Signature cards in its domains |
|---|---|---|---|
| Shen, Eye of Twilight | Calm and Order | Shen, Kinkou, Shen, Scourge of Shadows, Shen, Leader of the Kinkou Order | Shadow Dash |
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 →
