Best Ofs for the European Championship

Organized Play2026-11-11T17:00:00.000Z

Riftbound’s first Regional Championship took place last weekend in Stuttgart, Germany. At the end of it, ASC Evansrhim took it down piloting Kennen through a Top 8 of four Riven, three Kennen, and a Kai’Sa. Riven was the most popular deck of the tournament, occupying more than 40% of the field on Day 1 and increasing nearly to half the field on Day 2.

The Regional Championship format changed to decrease the importance of Best-Of as a motivator for this tournament, putting the competitive integrity into the spotlight for competitors. As such the variety of decks here is far fewer than have been previously seen at Regional Qualifiers. However, we know players are excited to see what the best decks that competed were and we didn’t want to disappoint.

As a final note, for those who missed it: Dave Guskin, Riftbound’s Game Director, shared on Monday that the game team are considering bans to the format, and any decisions they make will be shared on this coming Friday. These bans are targeted to go into effect on November 23. Stay tuned to Riftbound social media and this website for the news on any bans on Friday.

The colored cells below reflect which decks were not competing for Best-Of. Decks which did not qualify for Day 2 were not eligible for a Best-Of prize even if they were from the latest three Riftbound sets.
