Riftbound Radiance: 9 Legends, New Rules and Prices

Riftbound: Radiance, the fifth Riftbound set, went on sale worldwide today, October 23, 2026. On launch day 9 US shops have the 24-pack booster display in stock, up from 1 on October 20, and the lowest US price has dropped to $129.99, 12.8 percent below the $149 asked in early October. In Germany the display starts at €124.95, in Poland at 439 zł in a single shop.

This article first covers what Radiance changes in the game (nine new Legends, five new rules elements). After that come the prices of every Radiance product in the US, Germany and Poland as of October 23, 2026, the price per pack, and a comparison with the previous set, Vendetta. All prices come from CardPulse (in-stock offers only, English edition) unless another source is named.

Radiance at a glance: 234 cards, 9 Legends, released October 23, 2026

Radiance is the fifth Riftbound set, with 234 entries in the TCGplayer list: 167 main-set cards, 61 Showcase cards and 12 Runes. It released on October 23, 2026 in English, French and Simplified Chinese at the same time.

Data: TCGplayer card list collected by CardPulse on October 23, 2026; dates, language editions and pack contents per Riot Games' official "Radiance Overview" (playriftbound.com, updated October 16, 2026).

How many cards are in Radiance? Riot does not give a single number; distributors describe more than 180 cards, over 60 of them Showcase. TCGplayer counts 234 entries because Runes, Alt Arts, Overnumbered and Signature cards are listed separately. For completing the main set, the 167 numbered cards are what count.

The full card list with images, rarities and TCGplayer prices is in the Radiance set guide and on the all Radiance cards page. The Signature cards are the priciest right now: their lowest TCGplayer listings range from a few hundred to a few thousand dollars. For a set this new, those are asking prices, not sales.

Tip: in the collection tracker you can tick off the cards from your packs as you open them and see what is missing for the full set.

What Radiance changes in the game: nine Legends and five new rules elements

Radiance (set code RAD) adds nine new Legends, each also as an Overnumbered variant, plus five new rules elements. Card previews ran from September 25 to October 9, and the updated core rules have applied since October 16, 2026.

Sources: playriftbound.com (The Radiance Overview, Sep 25, 2026, updated Oct 16, 2026; Core Rules: Radiance Patch Notes, Oct 9, 2026), riftbound.gg, Bleeding Cool (Sep 25, 2026).

• Deploy. Gear goes straight onto a battlefield and gives a bonus while it stays there. If your opponent takes that battlefield, the Gear is destroyed.
• Show Off (Reveal). Revealing a matching card from your hand or board while you play a card unlocks an extra effect.
• Disarm. A unit with Disarm lowers an enemy unit's Might on the same battlefield when it attacks; multiple instances stack.
• Equipment Units. Orianna's Legend turns Equipment into units.
• Bomb tokens. A new token type: the more Bombs you have played, the bigger the payoff.

The new Legends are Ekko, Ziggs, Mordekaiser, Orianna, K'Sante, Riven, Seraphine, Evelynn and Jarvan IV. Neeko joins them as the first neutral Champion unit, playable in any deck regardless of domains.

Seraphine and Evelynn front the Showdown Decks. For collectors the headline items are the Ultimate Rare, which Riot says shows up in roughly 0.025 percent of packs, the music-themed Alt Art Runes, and the Heartsteel cards as Overnumbered versions.

We covered the Ultimate Rare odds and the set's card count in detail on October 20: Riftbound Radiance: Ultimate Rare in ~1 of 167 Displays. In short, at 0.025 percent per pack you get on average one Ultimate Rare per about 167 displays, so a display is not a ticket to the rarest card.

The event dates for players: Summoner Skirmish 1 starts November 9, 2026, and Summoner Skirmish 2 on December 14, 2026. The next set, Legacy, is announced for January 29, 2027; upcoming dates are in the Riftbound release calendar.

On launch day 9 US shops have the display in stock instead of 1

The number of shops with a Radiance display in stock rose from 1 on October 20 to 9 on launch day in the US, from 2 to 12 in Germany and from 3 to 14 in Poland. That is the biggest change of the week: for most of the pre-order phase one or two shops set the price, and now the shops compete.

Data: number of in-stock offers for the Radiance display (EN) and lowest shop price according to CardPulse, October 8 to 23, 2026; US in dollars, Germany in euros, Poland in złoty.

In the US the lowest price fell in two steps, from $149 (October 8 to 19, one offer) to $138.95 on October 22 and $129.99 on launch day. In Germany the wider supply barely moved the floor: €125 in pre-order, €124.95 today. In Poland one single offer skews the picture; more on that below.

One caveat up front: in the first pre-order weeks there were often only 1 to 3 offers, so percentage changes from that period look bigger than they are. That is why we list the number of offers next to every price. Offers with a placeholder price are excluded (one US shop shows $9,999,999 as "no price").

In the US the display sits 8.3 percent above the $120 MSRP

The cheapest US Radiance display costs $129.99, 8.3 percent above the $119.99 MSRP for a 24-pack display listed by riftbound.gg (TCGTalk reports the same figure as for Vendetta). The median of the 9 in-stock US offers is $139.99, and the most expensive in-stock listing asks $179.75.

Data: 15 offers for the Radiance display (EN) in 15 US shops, 9 of them in stock, as of October 23, 2026 according to CardPulse; MSRP per riftbound.gg and TCGTalk.

• $129.99 to $139.99. Most of the market: 5 in-stock offers in this band.
• $149 to $154.99. Three in-stock offers, including a shop that still labels the display as pre-order.
• $179.75. One outlier at the top, 38 percent above the cheapest offer.

Six of the 15 US listings are out of stock, among them several of the earliest pre-orders. We cannot tell whether those shops will restock.

In Poland the picture is unusual for a different reason: the 439 zł offer comes from one shop with two listings marked pre-order and sits 17 percent below the next shop at 529.99 zł. Whether it is a launch deal, a small allocation or a price that will be corrected, we do not know, so for country comparisons we use 529.99 zł.

For US buyers the European prices are mostly a reference point, since shipping and import costs make a display import rarely worthwhile. Still, they show that the $120 MSRP is reachable: €124.95 is close to the converted MSRP, and Cardmarket lists the display at €113.99.

Cardmarket lists the display at €113.99, below every German shop

The cheapest Radiance display on Cardmarket costs €113.99, 8.8 percent less than the cheapest German shop at €124.95. The 30-day average is €128.33 and the 7-day average €123.37, so the Cardmarket price has been falling for a week.

Data: Cardmarket, English edition, lowest price and 7- and 30-day averages as of October 23, 2026, collected by CardPulse; 695 copies available.

Cardmarket is a marketplace with shops and private sellers, and each seller adds their own shipping. For European buyers the gap to a shop narrows once shipping is included, so always compare the final price.

The same direction shows up across products: a booster costs €5.39 on Cardmarket (7-day average €5.92), the Showdown Decks €24.90 (7-day average €31.35), the Vault €30.80 (7-day average €33.93). Falling averages in launch week are typical when a large share of ordered stock reaches sellers at the same time. Whether this holds, we will check in two weeks; for now it is a hypothesis, not a trend.

Tip: on the Radiance display price page the Cardmarket offer appears in the same list as the shops, so you can see at a glance where it ranks.

A display works out to $5.42 per pack, single packs start at $5.95

In a $129.99 display each pack costs $5.42, while the cheapest single pack in a US shop is $5.95, so the display saves about 9 percent per pack. In Germany the saving is larger, €5.21 per pack in the display versus €5.95 single, or 12.5 percent.

Data: lowest price of in-stock offers (EN) according to CardPulse, October 23, 2026; price per pack = product price divided by the number of packs inside.

The Vault and the Pre-Rift Kit are not a cheap way to get packs: a $44.95 Vault works out to $7.49 per pack before you count the box. Their value is in the extras.

• Vault. Storage box, 6 Radiance packs, foil tokens and a full set of 36 Runes. Makes sense if you need Runes and a deck box.
• Pre-Rift Kit. Per Riot, five packs plus a seeded Pre-Rift pack, with one version for each of the nine new Legends. Pre-Rift week ran October 16 to 22, so today you buy it for the contents rather than the event.
• Booster pack. The cheapest way to try the set for about $6 without tying up $130.
• Display. Lowest price per pack and a full 24 packs; about 9 percent cheaper per pack than singles in the US.

Single packs are thin on the ground in the US: only 3 in-stock offers, compared with 6 in Germany and 8 in Poland. If you want a few packs to try the set, a local game store may be the easier route this week.

Showdown Decks Evelynn vs. Seraphine: US price matches the $34.99 MSRP

The Evelynn vs. Seraphine Showdown Decks start at $34.99 in the US, exactly the MSRP reported by riftbound.gg and Nerdsnack. In Germany the cheapest shop asks €29.95, Cardmarket €24.90, and in Poland they start at 115.99 zł.

Data: Radiance Showdown Decks (EN), lowest price and median of in-stock offers according to CardPulse, October 23, 2026; US 5 of 10 offers in stock, Germany 11, Poland 17.

The box holds two ready-to-play 56-card decks, two booster packs, two playmats and a rulebook. It is the simplest way into Radiance for two people: one plays Evelynn, the other Seraphine, and you can start right away without building a deck from packs.

The US median is $38.95, and only 5 of 10 listings are in stock, compared with 11 of 13 in Germany. We see no US offer below MSRP today, while Europe has several. It is possible that US shops received fewer units, but that is a hypothesis based on in-stock counts, not distribution data.

Nerdsnack reported early sales averaging about $60.67 before launch. Today's shop prices of $34.99 to $39.95 suggest that buying at those pre-launch prices was not necessary, at least for anyone who could wait until release day.

Radiance launches cheaper than Vendetta costs today

The cheapest in-stock Vendetta display costs $138 in the US today, 5.8 percent more than the $129.99 Radiance display. In Germany the gap is 16.6 percent (€149.90 versus €124.95), in Poland 18.4 percent (649.90 zł versus 529.99 zł).

Data: lowest price of in-stock displays (EN) for Vendetta and Radiance according to CardPulse, October 23, 2026; Vendetta: US 6 of 22 offers in stock, Germany 5 of 12, Poland 2 of 17.

This comparison has a limit: Vendetta has been on sale since July 31, 2026, so we are comparing a price after almost three months with a launch-day price, not two launches. The more interesting column is availability: only 6 of 22 Vendetta display listings in the US are in stock.

Our hypothesis: Vendetta became more expensive because it left the shelves, not because the set suddenly became more wanted. If Radiance follows the same path, its display price may look different in a few months, but one day of data cannot predict that. You can follow Vendetta on the Vendetta display price page.

What to do in launch week: five steps before you buy

In launch week prices change daily and more offers keep arriving, so comparing and setting an alert saves more than grabbing the first listing. These steps are based on the data from October 23, 2026. Riot's own merch store sold the display in Europe and North America only through a draw (sign-up September 25 to 30), so for most buyers the options are shops and Cardmarket.

1. Decide what you are buying for. For playing, the Showdown Decks ($34.99) or a few packs are enough. A display makes sense if you want to open lots of packs or collect the set.
2. Compare the price per pack. A $129.99 display is $5.42 per pack, single packs start at $5.95. Five to ten packs are a reasonable test before you spend $130.
3. Check the full list of offers. The same display ranges from $129.99 to $179.75 in US shops. The Radiance display price page sorts offers by price.
4. Look at the MSRP. With $120 as the reported MSRP, anything far above $140 is a premium you pay for getting it this week.
5. Set a price alert. If you do not need Radiance today, set an alert at your target price and see whether more offers push prices down, as they already did from $149 to $129.99.

Tip: before you buy a display, open a few packs in the pack simulator. It does not replace real packs, but it shows well how rare the best cards are.

Single cards and rarities are in the Radiance set guide, and you can log your cards in the collection tracker. Prices for packs, decks and Vaults have their own pages: booster packs, decks and Vaults and special products.

Bottom line: a well-stocked launch close to MSRP

On launch day Radiance is in stock at 9 US, 12 German and 14 Polish shops, and the display sits 4 to 8 percent above the $120 MSRP in the US and Germany. That is a calmer start than the pre-order phase, with a single offer at $149, suggested.

• What we know. The display costs from $129.99, €124.95 and 529.99 zł today (439 zł at one Polish shop); Cardmarket is the cheapest at €113.99.
• What is a hypothesis. That prices will keep falling once all shops are stocked, and that Vendetta got pricier because of low availability.
• What we will check. Display and Showdown Deck prices in two weeks, on November 6, 2026, in the same three countries.

The simplest next step: open the Radiance display price comparison, see what it costs in your country today, and set an alert if the price is still too high. CardPulse does not sell anything; it compares shop offers, and some links are affiliate links that do not change the order of offers.
