Riot FAQ · 2025-10-16
If Blind Fury or Promising Future reveals a card you can’t play, where does it go?
It stays banished. These four cards received errata to banish the card before playing it.
Explanation & source
A card from a secret, randomized deck has no easy way back, so banishment holds it.
Riot’s answer ↗ · Riftbound Origins FAQ · Published 2025-10-16
Core Rules ↗ 358.5. Current card wording: Riftbound: Origins Card Errata ↗, published 2025-10-28.
What if Unlicensed Armory prevents the death of the unit you kill with Baited Hook?
You can’t play any unit.
Explanation & source
With no killed unit, Baited Hook’s Might check returns a null value. The same happens if the unit dies before Baited Hook resolves.
