What's Actually in the Riftbound Origins Set: The Full Breakdown
The short version
- 298 base cards, numbered 001/298 through 298/298 with no gaps — Origins is still the largest Riftbound set released.
- Rarity splits 88 Common / 84 Uncommon / 84 Rare / 42 Epic across the base set, plus 54 Showcase-rarity alternate printings layered on top (352 total printings).
- Units are the largest card type at 142, well ahead of Spells (84), Gear (30), Battlefields (24), Legends (12) and Runes (6).
- All seven domains are represented — Fury and Calm lead at 49 cards each, Colorless sits lowest at 28.
Origins is Riftbound's first and, to date, biggest set. Here's exactly what's in it — not an estimate, the real counts from our own catalogue, broken down the way a set list actually gets used: by rarity, by domain and by card type.
The headline number: 298 base cards
Origins' collector numbers run from 001/298 to 298/298 with no gaps — a clean, complete base set of 298 cards. On top of that, 54 cards also have a Showcase-rarity alternate printing: a premium treatment of a card that already exists in the base 298, not a new card. Counting both, there are 352 individual Origins printings in our database.
That makes Origins comfortably the largest Riftbound set so far — see every set in order for how it compares to what came after.
Rarity breakdown
| Rarity | Cards |
|---|---|
| Common | 88 |
| Uncommon | 84 |
| Rare | 84 |
| Epic | 42 |
| Base total | 298 |
| Showcase (alternate printings) | 54 |
Commons are the largest single tier at 88, but Uncommon and Rare are printed in almost identical numbers — 84 each — which is worth knowing if you're trying to gauge how "rare" a Rare-tier Origins card actually is relative to the rest of the set.
Card type breakdown
| Type | Cards |
|---|---|
| Unit | 142 |
| Spell | 84 |
| Gear | 30 |
| Battlefield | 24 |
| Legend | 12 |
| Rune | 6 |
Units make up almost half the base set on their own. Legends — the champion cards that anchor a deck — are deliberately the scarcest type at just 12, and Runes are scarcer still at 6.
Domain breakdown
| Domain | Cards |
|---|---|
| Fury | 49 |
| Calm | 49 |
| Mind | 45 |
| Body | 45 |
| Chaos | 41 |
| Order | 41 |
| Colorless | 28 |
Every domain gets real support in Origins — the spread runs from 28 (Colorless, which is expected to be the thinnest since it's usable in any deck rather than a deck's core identity) up to 49 for Fury and Calm.

Numbers are useful for planning a collection goal, but the fastest way to see what's actually printed is to browse the set itself: every Origins card, its live price across every store we track, and its full rules text.
