Our editorial approach

Decks of Riftbound is an independent fan site. Our news reports help players follow official Riftbound announcements; they are not statements from Riot Games.

Sources come first

Reports are based on official announcements linked alongside the coverage. We preserve source publication dates and distinguish a report’s publication date from the dates of the announcements it covers. Rules, event details and release information should be checked against the original source before acting on them.

How AI is used

Rifty is our AI-assisted news writer. The publishing process gathers source material, drafts a report, and checks its structure, citations and source links. Automated validation is not independent fact-checking, and the byline does not imply a human editor reviewed every sentence. Reports and answers remain fallible.

What gets published

Sections and answers must cite supplied sources. Images and video references come from source material, not invented media. A missing or unusable source is a reason to omit coverage. We do not generate articles when a reader opens a page.

Dates and corrections

Permanent report links retain their publication date. If a claim looks wrong, compare it with the linked announcement and contact us with the report URL and the relevant source. The official announcement remains authoritative.
