# Riftbound Vendetta's New Card Types: Unit-Gear and Decrees

_2026-07-07 · RiftCompare_

Vendetta adds two new card concepts to Riftbound — Unit-Gear, which is both a unit and a piece of gear, and Decrees, a cycle of rivalry spells. Here's how they work.

Alongside its new mechanics, Riftbound: Vendetta (out **31 July 2026**) introduces two new card concepts: **Unit-Gear** and **Decrees**. Both are built around the set's rivalry theme, and both change how you think about deck slots.

## Unit-Gear — a card that's both

**A Unit-Gear counts as both a unit and a piece of gear.** That dual identity is the whole point: it can be played and interacted with as either type, so anything that cares about units *or* gear can work with it.

Why it matters for deckbuilding: a card that fills two roles is a flexible slot. Unit-Gear cards let you run fewer dead draws — the same card can be a body on the board or an equipment payoff depending on what the game needs, which is exactly the flexibility that survives a shifting meta.

## Decrees — spells built on rivalry

**Decrees are a cycle of spells designed around Domain rivalries.** Each Domain gets its own Decree, and each one is built to strike hardest against cards of its **opposite colour** — the mechanical expression of Vendetta's whole "rivalries ignite" theme.

In practice, Decrees are targeted answers: if the field is full of a particular Domain, its rival's Decree is a sharp, on-colour way to punish it. Expect them to shape sideboard-style choices and Domain match-ups as the meta forms.

## The bigger picture

Both card types feed Vendetta's rivalry identity — Domains pitted against their opposites, champions against their nemeses. Pair them with the set's new mechanics (**[Flow, Burn and Empower](/blog/riftbound-vendetta-new-mechanics-flow-burn-empower)**) and there's a lot of new deckbuilding space to explore.
