The 12 new champions
Spiritforged widens the roster with champions from all over Runeterra: Azir, Irelia, Draven, Lucian, Renata Glasc, Sivir, Ezreal, Fiora, Rumble, Jax, Rek'Sai and Ornn.
These 12 plus the 12 from Origins brought the game to 24 playable champions, with plenty of room for deckbuilding.
Champion Decks: Rumble and Fiora
Spiritforged launched with two preconstructed decks, each with 56 cards ready to play:
Rumble
Champion Deck · 56 cardsA mech-based strategy. Every mech you deploy buffs the others, so the board snowballs until even your smallest unit is a threat. Includes 1 Spiritforged booster pack, a paper playmat and a deck box.
Fiora
Champion Deck · 56 cardsAn equipment and spells strategy. It turns ordinary units into strong fighters turn by turn, building up resources while you win the fights on board. Includes 1 Spiritforged booster pack, a paper playmat and a deck box.
Chinese product: two formats
As with Origins, the Simplified Chinese product is usually cheaper and easier to find. And the key point still applies: Chinese cards can go in your deck, so you can mix Chinese and English cards. Check the current tournament rules for the event you're entering.
Spiritforged in Chinese comes in the same two formats:
Advanced (Jumbo Booster Box)
24 packs · 14 cards per packThe equivalent of the English booster box. Each pack has 7 commons, 3 uncommons, 2 foil rares or higher, 1 foil of any rarity and 1 token. On average, more than 6 Epic cards and more than 2 alt arts per box.
Standard (Slim Booster Box)
24 packs · 5 cards per packA format only sold in the Chinese market. Smaller and cheaper, so it suits opening product without a big outlay, or picking up the specific cards you need.

More sets. The 2026 sets after Spiritforged are Unleashed (May), Vendetta (July) and Radiance (23 October). Spiritforged is still the base they build on.
