Riftbound Unleashed Vi Champion Deck Upgrade Guide: Best Cards to Add

The Riftbound TCG's Unleashed Vi Champion Deck comes with a ready-to-play deck built around Vi. While the deck is functional out of the box, there are several cards that can improve its consistency, power, and overall performance. So, what are the best upgrades for the Unleashed Vi Champion Deck, and which cards are worth adding?

What Is the Vi Champion Deck's Strategy?

Vi - Piltover Enforcer is a Riftbound Legend from the Unleashed set with the Fury and Order domain. Its ability lets you exhaust it to ready a unit if you assigned 3 or more excess damage when you conquer.

Vi's legend ability gives it a straightforward deckbuilding plan focused on conquering battlefields. These decks want to buff its units might to deal enough excess damage to ready and move them to safety. Cards that buff might on attack are useful for accomplishing this goal.

Best Upgrades for the Vi Champion Deck

The following are some of the best cards to consider adding to the Unleashed Vi Champion Deck.

Battlefields

Altar of Blood is a good battlefield to include in Vi decks because it gives you a way to protect your units should they die in combat. It has a steep three power cost, but saving your important units can be worth the tempo you'd lose.

Meanwhile, Emperor's Dais let's you pay one energy when you conquer it to return a unit you control to its owner's hand. It's great from protecting your units from potential removal and also rewards you with a 2 Might Sand Soldier unit token.

Units

Inferna is a great early unit with Ambush. This can catch opponent's off guard if they aren't careful and help you meet the Vi legend's condition. Sharkling plays a similar role in this deck and it has Assault 4, which gives it +4 might while it's an attacker.

Meanwhile, Tryndamere - Barbarian acts as a late game win condition for this deck since he can score you a point if you've dealt excess damage this turn.

Spells and Gear

Many of the spells and gear in the Vi starter deck are already staples. My only recommendation for this section is to include Blighted Battleaxe because it gives a whopping +4 might to the unit it's attached to. Because this deck has a heavy focus on conquering, this equipment's downside shouldn't affect you as long as you keep attacking.

The Riftbound TCG's Unleashed Vi Champion Deck provides a solid foundation for players looking to learn Vi's legend and its core strategy. However, the right upgrades can improve its consistency, power, and overall performance. As the meta evolves and new cards are released, additional options may also become worth considering for the deck.
