Riftbound Origins Viktor Champion Deck Upgrade Guide: Best Cards to Add

The Riftbound TCG's Origins Viktor Champion Deck comes with a ready-to-play deck built around Viktor. 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 Origins Viktor Champion Deck, and which cards are worth adding?

What Is the Viktor Champion Deck's Strategy?

Viktor - Herald of the Arcane is a Riftbound legend from the Origins set with the Mind and Order domain. Its active ability lets you pay one energy and exhaust it to play a 1 might Recruit unit token.

This legend's ability makes it lean towards token-based strategies. Viktor decks can leverage its tokens to overwhelm opponents with numbers or as sacrifice fodder to get advantages. As a result, these decks have a flexible game plan with the ability to adjust depending on the game state.

Best Upgrades for the Viktor Champion Deck

The following are some of the best cards to consider adding to the Origins Viktor Champion Deck.

Battlefields

All of the battlefields included in Viktor's champion deck are already pretty solid. As a result, I wouldn't change any of them since they all play well into the strategy that Viktor wants to play.

Units

Safety Inspector is a strong new unit introduced in Riftbound's Unleashed set. When it enters, it makes each player kill one of their units. For Viktor decks that don't run short on tokens, this card's downside is negligible.

Meanwhile, Jayce - Man of Progress is a great card to cheat in more expensive gear into play. This card combos well with a win condition I'll share in the next section.

Finally, Ashe - Focused is a powerful champion unit that can be used to disrupt your opponent's tempo by banishing the most important card in their hand.

Spells and Gear

My lone recommendation for Viktor's gear is Vanguard Armory. This powerful gear lets you play three 1 might recruit unit tokens to continue fueling Viktor's gameplan. You can cheat this card in early if you sacrifice one of your cheaper gear with Jayce - Man of Progress.

The Riftbound TCG's Origins Viktor Champion Deck provides a solid foundation for players looking to learn Viktor'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.
