Riftbound : les premières cartes errata, à seulement quelques jours de la sortie !
À quelques jours de la sortie officielle de Riftbound: Origins, le studio derrière le jeu de cartes a publié la première vague d’errata pour son set de lancement. Une annonce surprenante pour une licence toute neuve, d’autant plus que certaines de ces cartes font déjà partie des plus puissantes de la méta actuelle.
C’est quoi un errata ?
Si c’est ton premier TCG, pas de panique : un errata, c’est simplement une mise à jour du texte d’une carte pour corriger une erreur, préciser une règle, ou clarifier une mécanique. Dans Riftbound: Origins, la majorité des changements ne modifient pas la puissance des cartes, mais visent à clarifier le fonctionnement de certaines interactions.
Cependant, quelques ajustements concernent des cartes déjà considérées comme centrales dans les decks compétitifs, et forcément, la communauté s’agite.

Les cartes les plus touchées
La liste complète compte plusieurs dizaines de cartes, mais certaines retiennent particulièrement l’attention :
- Ava Achiever : son texte a été légèrement ajusté pour clarifier la manière dont elle peut jouer des cartes avec [Hidden]. Une précision bienvenue, car la carte est déjà très utilisée dans les decks agressifs exploitant cette mécanique.
- Baited Hook : désormais, la carte précise qu’on peut bannir un unit avant de le jouer, ce qui évite certains abus de combo. Ce changement vise clairement à réguler les boucles infinies que les joueurs avaient déjà repérées.
- Blind Fury : elle force désormais à bannir une carte adverse avant de la jouer, ce qui réduit les interactions imprévisibles avec les decks à pioche rapide.
- Highlander et The Boss : ces deux cartes, très présentes dans les decks défensifs, ont vu leur texte réécrit pour mieux cadrer la mécanique de rappel (“recall”), souvent source d’ambiguïtés dans les tournois de test.

Des ajustements pour la cohérence, pas pour l’équilibrage
Le studio précise qu’il ne s’agit pas d’un patch d’équilibrage, contrairement à ce qu’on voit dans les jeux de cartes numériques. Les errata concernent avant tout les formulations :
Nous n’émettons pas d’errata pour des raisons d'équilibrage. Là où un texte imprimé crée des interactions involontaires ou ambiguës, nous le corrigeons pour renforcer la clarté et la cohérence.
En clair : pas de nerf ni de buff officiel pour l’instant, même si certains ajustements vont naturellement réduire la force perçue de cartes comme Dazzling Aurora.
Ce que ça change pour la méta
Même si la plupart des errata ne modifient pas directement les effets, plusieurs decks vont devoir s’adapter :
- Les decks Hidden Combo, centrés sur Ava Achiever et Teemo, Strategist, perdent un peu en explosivité.
- Les builds Recall/Resurrection, avec The Boss ou Highlander, deviennent plus lisibles mais aussi plus faciles à contrer.
- En revanche, les cartes comme Clockwork Keeper ou Dazzling Aurora gagnent en précision et devraient gagner en popularité.
Autrement dit : pas de révolution, mais une mise à plat bienvenue avant les premiers tournois compétitifs.

Ces premiers errata montrent que Riftbound: Origins prend son lancement très au sérieux.
Entre corrections de texte, cohérence des règles et anticipation de la scène compétitive, le studio envoie un message clair :
“Notre priorité, c’est la clarté et la qualité du jeu.”
Un bon signe pour un TCG tout neuf, prêt à s’imposer dans une communauté en quête d’un nouveau terrain de jeu stratégique.
