Calm and Body in Riftbound
Calm and Body puts Body's big units behind Calm's defensive tricks. It takes battlefields with units that are hard to remove and keeps them. As of October 2026 it has five Legends, two of them Master Yi.
Calm and Body is Calm (green) with Body (orange). Big units that hold battlefields, with Master Yi's two Legends and Lee Sin. As of October 2026 it has 5 Legends: Master Yi, Wuju Bladesman, Lee Sin, Blind Monk, Jax, Grandmaster at Arms, Master Yi, Wuju Master and K'Sante, Pride of Nazumah.
How Calm and Body plays
Body supplies efficient units with high Might and the extra runes to play them early. Calm keeps them alive with Shield, Tank and combat tricks, and moves enemy units out of the way. The deck wins combats, holds the battlefields it takes, and is hard to push off them.
Master Yi has two Legends here. Wuju Bladesman, from Proving Grounds, gives a unit +2 Might while it defends alone; Wuju Master, from Unleashed, gives your units +1 Might at 6 XP and lets them enter ready at 11. Lee Sin, Blind Monk buffs a unit, Jax, Grandmaster at Arms moves Equipment between units, and Radiance's K'Sante, Pride of Nazumah gives a unit Assault equal to its Shield.
What it does well, and what it doesn't
Strengths
- Big, efficient units with protection: they win combats and survive removal.
- Holds battlefields well, which suits Riftbound's points for holding.
- Combat tricks from both domains.
Weaknesses
- Little card draw. Body lists it as a weakness, and Calm's strengths are elsewhere.
- Few spells that work outside combat, so it has trouble with an opponent who won't fight.
- Calm is not built to attack, so the deck can be slow to take battlefields it doesn't start on.
These start from what Riot's Deckbuilding Primer says each domain is good and bad at, which the guide to Riftbound's domains covers in full. A pair's Legend can shift them: a Legend that draws cards helps a pair whose domains don't.

Calm and Body Signature cards
Every two-domain Calm and Body card printed so far is a Signature card. Each carries one champion's tag, so it only goes in a deck whose Legend has that tag, and a deck can hold at most 3 Signature cards in total. Riftbound Signature cards explains the rule.

Cards from each domain
Most of a Calm and Body deck is single-domain cards, from either half. These show what each half brings: the first two are Calm, the last two Body.
Building a Calm and Body deck
Start with the Legend, since it decides the plan, then fill the main deck from both domains and split your 12 runes between Calm and Body. A reasonable starting point is to count the Calm and Body symbols in your costs and give more runes to the domain with more of them.
The guide to building a Riftbound deck covers the full rules. TurnZero HQ's Deck Lab marks a deck Not legal if a card or rune is outside your Legend's domains, and the decks players have published are at Riftbound decks, searchable by deck name or by a card in the deck.
Frequently Asked Questions
Which Riftbound Legends are Calm and Body?
As of October 2026, 5: Master Yi, Wuju Bladesman, Lee Sin, Blind Monk, Jax, Grandmaster at Arms, Master Yi, Wuju Master and K'Sante, Pride of Nazumah. A Legend sets your deck's two domains, so these are the only Legends that can lead a Calm and Body deck.
What cards can go in a Calm and Body deck?
Any card whose domains are all Calm or Body: cards with only Calm, only Body or both, plus cards with no domain, such as battlefields. Every two-domain Calm and Body card printed so far is a Signature card, which also needs your Legend's champion tag, and all 12 of your runes must be Calm or Body.
Is Master Yi, Wuju Bladesman banned in Riftbound?
In 2v2 only. Riot banned Master Yi's Proving Grounds Legend in 2v2 Constructed from July 24, 2026, and it is still legal in 1v1 Standard as of October 2026. His Unleashed Legend, Wuju Master, is not on the ban list.
