On March 30, 2026, Riot Games announced the first-ever wave of competitive bans for the Riftbound trading card game, effective March 31, 2026.
2026年3月30日,Riot Games宣布了《Riftbound》集換式卡牌遊戲有史以來的首波競技禁用名單,並於2026年3月31日生效。
The bans target seven specific cards and battlefields in the Standard Constructed format, including Draven, Vanquisher, which was targeted to reduce early-game pressure.
此次禁用針對「標準構築」(Standard Constructed)賽制中的七張特定卡牌與戰場,其中包含「征服者達瑞文」(Draven, Vanquisher,ㄉㄚˊㄖㄨㄟˋ),其禁用旨在減輕遊戲前期的壓力。
Other removals include Miracle deck staples like Called Shot and Scrapheap to prevent tournament delays, and battlefields like The Dreaming Tree to balance card draw.
其他被移除的卡牌包括「Called Shot」與「Scrapheap」等奇蹟牌組的核心組件,以防止比賽延宕;而「The Dreaming Tree」等戰場則因平衡抽牌機制而被禁用。
Developers noted that these bans are based on lessons learned from the Origins and Spiritforged sets to nip problems in the bud.
開發者表示,這些禁用決定是汲取「Origins」與「Spiritforged」系列的經驗,以期防微杜漸(ㄈㄤˊㄨㄟㄉㄨˋㄐㄧㄢˋ)。
Notably, these cards remain legal in other formats like Draft, ensuring that the competitive scene remains fair and diverse while preserving card accessibility elsewhere.
