Holy moly, fellow riftwalkers! As a hardcore Riftbound player since day one, I'm absolutely buzzing about Spiritforged dropping globally in February 2026. Remember grinding Origins with its classic LoL champs? Well, brace yourselves—this new set is about to flip the meta upside down! Today, I've got an exclusive sneak peek at the Buhru Captain card AND a breakdown of the game-changing mechanics that'll make your deck-building brain explode. Trust me, you won't find this intel anywhere else!

Let's unpack this beauty first! Our exclusive reveal, Buhru Captain, is a 3-cost Unit (one Body rune) packing 3 Might straight outta Bilgewater. But here's the genius part: when played, you choose EITHER to draw a card OR buff it with a +1 Might token. 🤯 People also ask: "Is this an auto-include in aggro decks?" Heck yes! That flexibility means it slots into:

• Early board control builds needing beefy units

• Combo decks craving card draw

• Buff archetypes (more on that soon!)

Now, the REAL magic – Spiritforged introduces 4 revolutionary keywords that'll redefine gameplay:

🔥 Equipment: FINALLY! Gear that attaches directly to units instead of just buffing your Champion. Think MTG vibes but with that spicy Runeterra flavor.

⚡ Quickdraw: Instantly attach Equipment if conditions are met. No more wasting turns!

🗡️ Weaponmaster: Discounted Equipment attachment when played. Value town population: YOU!

🌀 Repeat: Pay extra to cast a spell effect TWICE (once only). Imagine double stuns or heals! People also ask: "Will Repeat break control metas?" Low-key terrified of the possibilities...

Now let's talk Buhru Captain's secret sauce: synergy with buff mechanics. Remember Lee Sin? That Centered Legend grants +2 Might to OTHER buffed units on his battlefield! Play Buhru Captain near him, take the buff option, and suddenly you've got a 4-Might monster on turn 3. 🤯 Plus, units can now "spend buffs" for special effects. This interaction opens wild combo potential we've never seen before!

Confirmed Champions for Spiritforged got me hyped:

Champion	Region	Speculated Playstyle
Azir	Shurima	Token swarm + Equipment
Irelia	Ionia	Weaponmaster synergy
Draven	Noxus	Aggro/Quickdraw focus
Renata Glasc	Zaun	Buff/debuff control
Sivir	Shurima	Spell shield + Repeat shenanigans

With daily reveals on the official gallery, I'm losing sleep wondering:

• Will Equipment make tanks viable again?

• How broken would Repeat be on board-wipes?

• Could Buhru Captain enable new Bilgewater tribal decks?

What about y'all? Think Quickdraw will make aggro unstoppable... or will Repeat control decks counter everything? Drop your wildest theorycrafts below!
