The official card gallery has wrong data on 41 Radiance cards
A player went through Riftbound's official card gallery line by line and counted 41 Radiance cards with at least one wrong value in the data panel next to the artwork: ten have the wrong colour, ten the wrong card type, one the wrong Might. We checked Riot's site ourselves, card by card: the errors are real. Until they are fixed, one rule applies — trust the card image, not the text beside it.
The reportA tally that started while filling a database
The list was posted by u/yxs on r/riftboundtcg on Wednesday evening, while adding Radiance cards to OpenRift, a community-run card archive. "Radiance is the worst set quality wise," they write. The post lists the problems set by set in a very simple format — what the gallery says, then what is printed on the card — and runs all the way through Vendetta, where six cards have common and uncommon swapped.
The official gallery is the catalogue Riot publishes on playriftbound.com: for every card it shows the artwork and, beside it, a panel with cost, colour, type, Might, rarity and artist. The artwork is the part that is right: it is the panel next to it that is wrong.
GlossaryThe four values that go wrong most often
| Value | What it means | Why it matters |
|---|---|---|
| Domain | The card's colour: Fury red, Calm green, Mind blue, Body orange, Order yellow, Chaos purple. | It decides which runes pay for it and which deck it can go in. |
| Card type | Unit (a body that fights), Spell (a one-off effect), Gear (equipment that stays on the board), Battlefield (the location you fight over). | It changes when you can play it and what can answer it. |
| Might | A unit's strength, the number in the top right corner. | It is the maths you do to work out who wins a fight. |
| Tags | The labels printed above the name: the region (Ionia, Noxus, Shurima…) or the family (Yordle, Demon, Mech). | Some cards look for tags: if the tag is missing, the search will not find the card. |
The numbersTen cards listed in the wrong colour
| Card | The gallery says | The printed card says |
|---|---|---|
| RAD-001 Amateur Demolitionist | Chaos (purple) | Fury (red) |
| RAD-003 Bilgewater Tracker | Body (orange) | Fury (red) |
| RAD-012 Runeblade Anvil | Chaos (purple) | Fury (red) |
| RAD-024 Blossoming Dreamroot | Chaos (purple) | Calm (green) |
| RAD-059 Supernova | Order (yellow) | Mind (blue) |
| RAD-067 Clocktower Guardian | Fury (red) | Mind (blue) |
| RAD-073 Pillaged Armory | Calm (green) | Body (orange) |
| RAD-081 Elnuk Herd | Fury (red) | Body (orange) |
| RAD-093 Disposal Expert | Fury (red) | Chaos (purple) |
| RAD-106 The Good Stuff | Body (orange) | Chaos (purple) |
On top of those ten sit ten cards with the wrong type. Supernova is filed as a 9-cost unit while carrying no Might at all, when the card itself reads Spell. Resplendent Rostrum and Zero Point Inflection get the opposite treatment, listed as spells when they are Gear.
Worst caseRuneblade Anvil is wrong three times out of three
One card carries three separate errors. In print, Runeblade Anvil is a Gear — the cog icon top right, the word GEAR above the name — it is red, so Fury, and its kill cost asks for two Fury runes. The gallery panel calls it a unit, gives it the Chaos domain, and writes Chaos into the kill cost as well. Three values, three mistakes.
Kai'Sa, Rebel
The Showcase printing (RAD-SP4/005) has 5 Might on the card, but the panel claims 4 — one point of difference, and that is the point that decides who walks away from a fight.
17 cards with no artist
We counted the 84 Radiance cards in the gallery today: 17 have no name at all in the Artist field, nearly all of them alt arts. Concert Poster and the alternate Calm and Mind runes are among them.
Why it matters to us. Radiance is weeks away, and in Italy the first lists will be built straight off the official gallery — the only place that holds every card in one spot, in Italian as well as English. A wrong colour is not a collector's quibble: register a card believing it is Fury when it is Chaos and your decklist will not survive a Regional Qualifier check-in. The same goes for the type, since a Gear mistaken for a unit changes which answers you need to pack. Until this is fixed, the artwork is the only number you can trust.
The short version
- 41 Radiance cards have at least one wrong value in the official gallery panel: 10 the colour, 10 the type, 1 the Might.
- We verified the ten wrong domains, the ten wrong types and Kai'Sa's Might: all of them match the report.
- Runeblade Anvil is the worst case, with type, colour and rules text all wrong at once.
- Vendetta is affected too, with six cards showing common and uncommon the wrong way round.
- Riot has announced no fix yet: until one lands, go by the card image.
