Riftbound Secret Garden: inside the exclusive gift box with the Ivern, Lillia and Ultrasoft Poro promos
A gift box born exclusively for China — and one that now has an official English name, Secret Garden, and a debut date: Gen Con 2026 in Indianapolis. Riftbound has unveiled a new gift box exclusive to the Chinese market, built around a «secret garden» theme, featuring three promo cards dedicated to Ivern, Lillia and a brand-new Ultrasoft Poro, plus a set of alternate-art tokens. It's the first product clearly tied to the Unleashed expansion to surface like this, and for collectors it's already a small obsession.
Original preview shared by the fan account Riftbound Report on X; the English version's name, contents and debut are now official, announced by Riot Games on the dedicated Gen Con 2026 page. Price, print run and any later events are still to be announced.
The productWhat the «Secret Garden» gift box is
It's a collectible gift box (in Chinese 秘境花园, «secret garden») conceived as a premium product for the Asian market: not just a box of packs, but a carefully designed case, with full-page illustrations, postcards and art prints. The theme is openly botanical and fairy-tale — woods, flowers, little forest creatures — a perfect fit for its star heroes, both nature-bound creatures from the world of League of Legends.
The images make the case's main elements easy to spot:
| Component | Detail |
|---|---|
| Unleashed packs | 3 sealed booster packs from the expansion |
| Alt Art cards | Bashful Bloom (Lillia), Green Father (Ivern) and Ultrasoft Poro |
| Alternate-art tokens | 5 tokens in garden-themed alt art |
| Collectible extras | Garden-themed postcards and art prints («and more» in the announcement) |
The promosIvern, Lillia and that «Ultrasoft» Poro
The heart of the case is the three promotional cards. Two are Legends — the card that in Riftbound represents the champion you build your deck around — dedicated to Ivern, the Green Father and to Lillia, the fae fawn of dreams. They're two thematically spot-on picks: Ivern has always been the hero of the woods and the brush, and Lillia lives among the forest's flowers. Together they give the case its «enchanted garden» soul.
The tokensEven the markers become art
Beyond the promos, the box includes alternate-art tokens: the marker cards used in play to represent the effects generated by abilities. The official announcement of the English version confirms five; in the Chinese images you could spot the Bird token, the Brush token (a direct nod to Ivern's signature mechanic) and the Gold token. These are details the casual player ignores, but that matter to collectors: having an illustrated, «on-theme» version even of the simple tokens is what turns a playing deck into a display deck.
The photos also offer glimpses of the art prints (one with a green frame, one orange) and the postcards, all built on the same woodland landscape as the lid. It's the same logic behind the deluxe products of the other major TCGs: the value isn't only in the cards, but in the whole opening experience.
The contextWhy China got it first
It's no surprise that Riftbound debuts a product like this on the Chinese market: China is one of the most important territories for Riot Games, and local TCGs have a long tradition of seasonal gift boxes and presentation cases, often richer than the Western editions. For the international community, the first reaction was a rush to import — at least until Riot confirmed an English version (see the update at the top). We've already seen with the tournament promo cards how quickly Riftbound's rare pieces became market objects — we covered it in the case of the $250,000 deal in London and the Miss Fortune 1/1 sold for $100,000.
UnleashedThe new expansion's first «collectible» taste
The hashtag accompanying the preview — #RBUnleashed — ties the case to the new Unleashed expansion, Riftbound's second big wave after Origins. The three included packs are from this very set, and the fact that the first deluxe product associated with Unleashed is a nature-themed edition suggests Ivern and Lillia will have a starring role in the new card pool. For those who want to get ready, it's worth following how the competitive scene is moving in the Meta & Tier List section and keeping an eye on the community's tournaments over on Tournaments.
Q&AWhat the community is asking
Is the Secret Garden box available in English, and will it come to Europe?
The English version exists and it's called Secret Garden, but for now the only announced appointment is Gen Con 2026 in Indianapolis (July 30 – August 2): no European event has been communicated yet. Since it's an event-linked product, for those staying in Europe the most likely routes remain imports and the secondary market: if you're after the box or the single promos, the right place to trade safely among enthusiasts is the community Marketplace.
What’s inside the Secret Garden gift box?
Three sealed Unleashed booster packs, the three Alt Art promo cards — Bashful Bloom (Lillia), Green Father (Ivern) and the Ultrasoft Poro — 5 garden-themed alternate-art tokens, plus collectible postcards and art prints.
Are the promo cards playable in tournaments?
The promos reproduce functionally legal cards (the Ivern and Lillia Legends and the tokens), so on the rules side they can be used like the standard versions. Legality at individual tournaments always depends on the event's ruleset: check with the organizer before signing up.
How much is the gift box worth?
There's no official price for the West yet. The market value will form around imports and demand for the single promos: to get your bearings, check how Riftbound's cards are trending in the Card Prices section.
