Riftbound World Showcase runs January 22-23, 2027 in Shanghai

The first Riftbound World Champion will be crowned at the World Showcase on Friday January 22 – Saturday January 23, 2027, in Shanghai, China, where 24 competitors share a $100k USD prize pool. Each player registers three constructed decks with no overlapping Domains, and one is named the Playoff Deck for the best-of-3 Top 4. The event uses the Legacy set a week before its January 29 release and streams on Twitch and YouTube. The World Showcase concludes the inaugural competitive season of Riftbound. Competitors get early access to the complete Legacy card list two weeks before the event. Day 1 is Swiss, and Day 2 is Swiss followed by the Top 4. There are 9 Swiss rounds before the Top 4, with Deck A played in rounds 1-3, Deck B in rounds 4-6 and Deck C in rounds 7-9. The Top 4 is single elimination with best-of-3 matches using the Playoff Deck. With Deck A, competitors will not be paired against the same opponent more than once, while with Deck B or Deck C they may face an opponent they have already played. Prizing includes an all-expenses-paid trip to China, a premium competitor goodie bag and a World Champion trophy. An exclusive serialized English promo numbered 1-24 is distributed based on final standings, and competitors draft OVN Foil Plated Legends by final standing, with all Legends including those from Legacy available to draft.
