Vendetta Pre-Rift Events Begin With Sealed Deckbuilding and a Stamped Promo
Local stores will host Vendetta Pre-Rift events beginning Friday, pairing Sealed deckbuilding with a stamped Riven, Shattered promotional card distributed only through these events while the
Vendetta Pre-Rift events start at stores Friday, July 24, and the event period continues for a week. Participants will open Vendetta Booster Packs for Sealed deckbuilding, with each kit carrying a Riven, Shattered promo marked for Pre-Rift distribution, subject to available supply.
Schedule and registration
The first Vendetta Pre-Rift sessions are scheduled for Friday, July 24. Stores may run them across the following week rather than solely on opening day, so prospective players are directed to consult their own store’s schedule for registration timing. Official event guidance frames the gathering around learning and relaxed play, while inviting communities to mark the arrival of the new set.
Building a Sealed deck
Sealed participants receive Vendetta Booster Packs and construct decks using the cards opened from those packs. Collection cards cannot be added. A Main Deck must contain at least 25 cards, although a larger deck is permitted. The usual ceiling of three copies does not apply here: players can include every opened copy of a card. Rune Deck selections should be considered against the Power costs in the Main Deck.
Flow and deck pressure
Vendetta materials also describe Flow as a way to play cards out of the Trash rather than the Hand. Some cards burn their own deck to fuel synergies, while others directly attack an opponent’s deck. Kennen decks are identified as Flow-centered and are intended to use cards from the Trash effectively. The official description also notes that these decks have a lot of tricks.
Promo distribution and event tone
Every event kit has a Riven, Shattered promotional card carrying a special Pre-Rift stamp. The card is restricted to these events and availability ends when supplies are exhausted. That distribution detail sits alongside an event approach intended for learning and lighthearted fun, rather than the prospect of extreme competition. Players attending for the promo should therefore confirm the local schedule.
Context
Why it matters
The event rules give attendees a clear route to build from opened packs: outside collection cards stay out, the Main Deck begins at 25 cards, and every opened duplicate may be used. Separately, kit distribution provides an event-only, specially stamped Riven, Shattered promo while supplies remain, making local registration schedules relevant.
