Riftbound Rolls Out March 2026 Rules Update to Harmonize Rewinds, Penalties, and Judge Guidance
Riftbound released its March 2026 Tournament Rules Update, detailing standardized rewinds and decision-making guidelines for players and judges, refined penalties (including warnings upgrading to game losses at high OPL levels) and warning tracking that doesn’t reset across multi‑day events, clearer guidance on how judges should answer rules questions without giving strategic advice, and a clarified recycling rule requiring recycled cards to go immediately to the bottom of the correct deck. The changelog enumerates specific updates across play errors, tournament errors, unsporting conduct, cheating investigations, and other rule clarifications to ensure consistent, fair play across all events from local Nexus Nights to Worlds.
