Evelynn in Radiance: Pedrovic shows all her cards, now in English too

by Riccardo Emanuele Eustor·Riftbound Zone

Yesterday afternoon Pedrovic, an Italian Riftbound creator and a Riftbound Zone partner, posted a six-slide Instagram carousel with every Evelynn card in Radiance: the Legend, both champion units, the signature spell and their alternate versions, each with the English text and his own Italian translation. The news for spoiler watchers is that the Legend and one of the two Evelynns had so far been seen only in the Chinese print: in Pedrovic’s slides they appear in English, and the names are Agony’s Embrace and In Control. The information is his; here I put it in order, card by card, and explain how the pieces work together. Thanks to Pedrovic for pulling it all together.

First things firstThe words you need

All four cards revolve around one idea: facedown cards. If you haven’t played in a few months, this table is all you need for the rest.

The big pictureFour cards, one idea

Lined up, the cards describe a very specific deck: hide cards on battlefields and flip them at the worst possible moment for your opponent. The Legend draws you a card when you do it, Consuming gets stronger, In Control gives you an extra point if the facedown card sits where you hold, and the signature spell lets a facedown unit appear on any battlefield. I covered the Legend on 30 September, when it was only known in Chinese: that article is here, along with the Bandle Scouts’ Academy battlefield that pushes in the same direction.

The LegendAgony’s Embrace: a draw for every card you flip

The English text: “Once each turn, when you play a card from face down, draw 1. Then, if it’s not your turn, discard 1.” It matches the translation I had worked out from the Chinese on 30 September.

The second sentence is the price: flipping a card on your opponent’s turn, when it surprises the most, leaves you with the same number of cards in hand, just a different one. Flipping it on your own turn is a clean draw. The card shows two domains, Body (orange) and Chaos (purple): those are the deck’s colours.

The 5-dropConsuming: readies and grows

It costs 5 and has 5 might. It has Ambush, so it can show up as a Reaction on a battlefield where you already have units, and one ability: “When you play a card from face down, ready me and give me +1 might this turn.” Every time you play a card from face down, Consuming readies and gets +1 might until end of turn. In practice: she attacks and exhausts, you flip a card and she’s ready to defend again, one point bigger. Its colour is Body, the Legend’s orange.

The 4-dropIn Control: the extra point

It costs 4, has 4 might and is Chaos, the purple. It has Disarm and one ability: “When I hold, if you control a facedown card here, score 1 point.” When you hold her battlefield and also have a facedown card there, you score 1 extra point. A held battlefield is normally worth one point; with In Control and a facedown card next to her it’s worth two. This is the card that turns facedown cards from a trick into a scoring plan.

The name is the most useful correction in the post. This Evelynn had reached the West only in Chinese (掌握全场, roughly “master of the field”), and in the site’s spoiler grid the alt art was listed as Total Control, the name going around on Reddit. The English print shown by Pedrovic says In Control.

There’s a third version too, the K/DA one numbered SP3/005, part of the five alt arts themed on League of Legends’ pop group that showed up on a poster last week. The text is identical.

The signature spell154/167: the unit that shows up anywhere

It’s the only one of the four that stays in Chinese in the post. It costs 2, it’s a Reaction and it reads: the next unit you play this turn, including from face down, can be played to any battlefield; when you play it, buff it. Normally a unit enters a battlefield where you’re already present, or your base: this spell drops it wherever you need it, with a +1 token on top. With Consuming’s Ambush or a facedown card, the combination speaks for itself.

There’s no agreement on the name: Pedrovic titles it Extreme Pleasure, the site’s spoiler grid has it as Last Caress, the literal rendering of the Chinese 最终抚慰 (“final caress”). Neither is official yet: I’ll know when the English print surfaces, and I’ll update this page.

In a gameHow they fit together

A typical turn, as I read it. Hide a card on the battlefield where In Control stands. On your opponent’s turn, when they attack, flip the signature spell or an Ambush unit: the Legend makes you draw and discard, Consuming readies with +1, and your opponent faces more might than they had counted on. At the start of your turn, if you still hold that battlefield and the facedown card is there, In Control gives you the extra point. The weak spot is cost: every facedown card is a rune spent in advance, and if your opponent takes the battlefield before you use it, it’s gone. That’s why Bandle Scouts’ Academy, which refunds that rune, is the battlefield I’d keep an eye on for this deck.

Who he isThanks to Pedrovic

Pedrovic is an Italian Riftbound creator: spoilers, news and tactics on Instagram, TikTok, YouTube and live on Twitch, and one of the site’s partner creators. The Evelynn carousel came out as a collaboration with the Riftbound Zone profile, but the work is his: he gathered the cards, the alternate versions and the Italian translations, slide by slide. I only put it in order and explained it. If you found it useful, go follow him.
