How Rising Cards works

What is Rising Cards?

A screener that ranks Riftbound cards by a composite of demand and price-timing signals — cards with high or rising search interest that haven't re-rated yet (sitting near their own recent low, thin supply, not already spiking). Every input is real, quoted data; the score is a transparent weighted sum, not a black box.

What signals does the score use?

Demand (search volume), demand velocity (rising searches/day — the leading indicator), room to run (how close a card sits to its own recent low), scarcity (thin in-stock supply), momentum (an emerging, not-yet-overheated 7-day trend) and volatility. Cards that already spiked hard in the last 7 days are penalised, not rewarded.

Is this financial advice?

No. It's a heuristic screen of public price and demand data, validated with a lookahead-free backtest on the price-timing component (demand isn't historically reconstructable, so only part of the score is backtestable). Treat it as a research starting point, not a guarantee — always check a card's own price history before buying.

How often does it update?

Once a day, alongside the daily price and demand import. Demand velocity needs a few days of snapshots to activate for any given card — until then that component sits at zero and the score leans on demand level instead.
