Tryndamere scores two on turn five, the nine needs a garrison under four Might, and eight Might at the battlefield is the free answer

Issue #449 (a slice of #200), 2026-10-24. Constructed, Duel (485). Rules version 2026-07-16. Card text verbatim from data/corpus_flat.txt; rules pasted from data/Riftbound-Core-Rules-2026-07-16.txt and data/Riftbound-Tournament-Rules-2026-07-16.txt. Read the unopposed clock for the baseline this is measured against.

Subject: tryndamere-brambleback-conquer, the Fury BURST that moves OGN-034 Tryndamere, Barbarian (Fury, E7 + 2 Fury Power, M8, "When I conquer after an attack, if you assigned 5 or more excess damage to enemy units, you score 1 point.") into an enemy garrison beside UNL-029 Red Brambleback (Fury, E4 + 1 Fury Power, M4, "Your conquer effects for conquering here trigger an additional time."), and counts 1 + T x (1 + K): nine points from two Tryndameres and three Bramblebacks in one Conquer. Walked as a game, going first, under OGN-249 Relentless Storm against the Fury/Chaos Draven deck of the En Garde play, in the same seats. The main line: one Tryndamere on T4 and two Bramblebacks, the second Accelerated, attack A on T5 into a garrison of three 2-Might bodies. The garrison's 6 damage kill a Brambleback before the Conquer, so Tryndamere fires twice, not three times: 3 points in one Conquer, 6 to 4 after your T5 and 6 to 5 after their T5. The same deal with UNL-108 Wily Newtfish in the Brambleback slots ends 5 to 5. The nine is not on this board. The five bodies first attack together on T7 at the earliest, and they score nine only into a garrison of 1 to 3 total Might: a garrison of 4 kills a Brambleback first, and one of 8 kills a Tryndamere. The cheapest answer is free: their fourth body at A instead of B makes A 8 Might, Tryndamere dies in the combat, and the game is 4 to 5 after their T5. The one-rune card answers are OGN-009 Hextech Ray, UNL-014 Monster Harpoon and UNL-134 Existential Dread.

Why this line. scripts/sequence-pick.mjs --unplayed, re-run on 2026-10-24 at e010ecb, reads 773 entries, 262 with forced-ordering language, 95 in the queue and 5 of them with no play, as the issue measured. The two picks are unchanged: this entry is rank 92, the second in the list. The other entry of this slice is rank 91, darius-executioner-vanguard-captain-legion-clause-boundary.

The entry admits any legend with Fury. Relentless Storm is the one for this walk because Tryndamere turns it on: "When you play a [Mighty] unit, you may exhaust me to channel 1 rune exhausted. (A unit is Mighty while it has 5+ :rb_might:.)" Its tag is Volibear, so Volibear, Furious can be the Chosen Champion, 103.2.a.2: "Must be a champion unit with a champion tag that matches the tag on your Champion Legend." No legend in the pool carries the Tryndamere tag, so Tryndamere cannot be one.

Every card in the list has a single domain inside Fury/Body, 103.1.b.3: "If a card has a single Domain, then that card is permitted in the Domain Identity that corresponds to the same Domain." Three copies is the cap, 103.2.b: "Your Main Deck can include up to 3 copies of the same named card." The list runs three Tryndameres where the entry declares two. None of the cards in this play is a Signature card (signature in data/cards.json), and none is in data/legality.src.json or marked [BANNED] in data/corpus_flat.txt. The rune deck is twelve Fury runes, 103.3.a.1: "Cards in the Rune Deck must be of the Domain Identity of your Champion Legend." Every Power in the walk is Fury.

The card text the play turns on:

2. What the count needs, and what the runes cost

Tryndamere needs a combat. His "after an attack" asks for the Attacker designation, and a combat gives it out, 464.2.c.3: "The attacker and defender gain the Attacker or Defender designation now, as appropriate. Units at the Contested Battlefield controlled by the Attacker or Defender gain the Attacker or Defender designation now, as appropriate." A walk into an empty battlefield makes no combat, 316.8.b.1: "Showdowns that occur as a result of a player moving to an empty Battlefield are a stand-alone Phase and do not create a Combat." So an empty battlefield scores the Conquer's one point and nothing else. The entry's step 1 says so.

Excess damage is the attacking Might nobody could assign. That is R28 = A on issue #11, and it stands on 465.2.c.4: "Units cannot have more damage assigned to them than the minimum required to constitute lethal damage unless no further units remain to have damage assigned to them." Against a garrison with no damage marked, the excess is the attackers' summed Might less the garrison's summed Might.

A Brambleback counts only if it is there when you take control. 383.4.c.2.a: "The Conquer Abilities of Units are put on the Chain as Pending Items after the Unit(s) these effects correspond to are present at a Battlefield when a player gains control of it and gains 1 Victory Point from Conquering." The extra instance comes from the Brambleback's own passive, and a dead one has none, 365.1: "Passive Abilities of Permanents are typically only active while on the Board." The same goes for a dead Tryndamere: he is not present, so his clause never triggers. With them present, each Brambleback adds one instance of each conquer effect (R1 = A with stacking). 471.2.c, "These will only trigger when the Battlefield is Scored; I.E. These cannot be triggered more than once per turn for a player.", caps how often the battlefield triggers, not how many instances one trigger produces (docs/rules-notes/rules-findings.md, the R1 bullet).

The defender chooses which attacker dies. 465.2.c: "Starting with the Attacker, each player assigns an amount of damage equal to their summed Might among the other's Units." And 465.2.c.3: "Units must have lethal damage assigned to them in full before damage is assigned to a different Unit." So a garrison of summed Might 4 kills one Brambleback, and one of 8 kills one Tryndamere.

The points are not Scores. His "you score 1 point" is a Gain by an ability, 194.1.c: "Spells, Triggered Abilities and Activated Abilities that instruct them to gain one or more points." That is R2 = A, so 470 ("A player may only Score, from either method, once per Battlefield per turn.") does not cap them, and the Final Point rule does not bind them, 471.1.a.1: "Notably, points Gained from sources that are not Conquer are not beholden to these restrictions." The main line never reaches 7.

The count, then. One attack by T Tryndameres and K Bramblebacks into a garrison of summed Might D scores 1 for the Conquer plus, for each Tryndamere still alive, 1 plus one per Brambleback still alive, when the excess is 5 or more. With the defender choosing the deaths that cost you most, counted from 465.2.c.3 and the paragraphs above:

T=2, K=3 (the entry's nine), attackers 28 Might
D       0    1-3   4-7   8-11   12-15   16-23   24-27
points  1    9     7     5      3       1       1

T=1, K=2 (this walk's T5 board), attackers 16 Might
D       0    1-3   4-7   8-15
points  1    4     3     1

D = 0 is the empty battlefield: no combat, one point. From 24 the excess is under 5. At 12 to 15 the defender kills three Bramblebacks rather than a Tryndamere and a Brambleback, because that costs you one point more.

Units move from base, never between battlefields. 144.4.a: "Units may move from their Base to a Battlefield." 144.4.b: "Units may move from a Battlefield to their Base." A move costs the unit, 144.2: "Exhausting the Unit is the Cost for this action." Several units go as one action, 144.3: "Players may perform multiple Units' standard move simultaneously. This is treated as one game action performed on multiple Units." So every attacker has to be ready in your base on the turn of the attack. A unit enters exhausted, 143.4: "Units enter the Board exhausted.", unless it is Accelerated, 805.1.a: "Accelerate is functionally short for “As you play me, you may pay [1][C] as an additional cost. If you do, I enter ready.”" No card in the walk has [Ganking].

The runes. A rune adds Energy by exhausting, 164.2.a: "[E]: [Reaction] — Add [1]." It adds Power by leaving, 164.2.b: "Recycle this: [Reaction] — Add [C].", to the bottom of the rune deck, 416.1: "Recycling cards is the action in which a player takes one or more cards from a specific zone and then puts it on the bottom of the corresponding deck." So every Power is a rune off your board. Your runes ready only on your turn, 415.3.a: "A player Readies all non-spell Game Objects they Control during the Awakening Phase on their turn." Going first you channel two a turn. Tryndamere costs seven runes, two of them recycled, and a Brambleback four, one recycled; Accelerated, five, two recycled.

The earliest turns, counted. A search over every way to buy the bodies (two runes channelled a turn, Power recycled, Relentless Storm's rune on the turn you play a Tryndamere, a Brambleback played on the turn of the attack Accelerated) gives, going first:

board          earliest attack   one set of buys that gets there
T=1, K=2       T5                Brambleback T3, Tryndamere T4, one Accelerated T5
T=2, K=3       T7                Tryndamere T5, Tryndamere and a Brambleback T6, two Accelerated T7
T=2, K=3       T7                without Relentless Storm: two Bramblebacks T4, Tryndamere T5 and
                                 T6, one Accelerated T7

A Brambleback bought plain on the attack turn enters exhausted and cannot attack, so the search counts it only on an earlier turn. It spends no other card; bodies that cost no Power fit beside it on T1 to T3. Relentless Storm's rune does not bring the nine forward.

3. Their deck: Fury/Chaos Draven

The deck of the En Garde play linked above, in the same seat and with the same opening four. SFD-185 Glorious Executioner (Fury/Chaos): "When you win a combat, draw 1. (You win if only your units remain after combat.)" Its Chosen Champion is OGN-028 Draven, Showboat, never played. Their bodies are OGN-018 Noxus Saboteur (Fury, E3, M3), OGN-010 Legion Rearguard (Fury, E2, M2), OGN-013 Pouty Poro (Fury, E2, M2), OGN-016 Dangerous Duo (Fury, E3, M3; "[Legion] — When you play me, give a unit +2 :rb_might: this turn. (Get the effect if you've played another card this turn.)"), OGN-171 Mystic Poro (Chaos, E2, M2), OGN-165 Cemetery Attendant (Chaos, E3 + 1 Chaos Power, M3; "When you play me, return a unit from your trash to your hand."), OGN-012 Noxus Hopeful (Fury, E4, M4; "[Legion] — I cost :rb_energy_2: less. (Get the effect if you've played another card this turn.)") and OGN-006 Flame Chompers (Fury, E3, M3). Their one spell in the walk is Hextech Ray (Fury, E1 + 1 Fury Power). Going second, they channel an extra rune on T1, 485.7: "First Turn Process: The player going second channels an extra Rune from their Rune Deck during their first Channel Phase of the game."

4. The turns, going first

Fury/Body against Fury/Chaos. Your battlefield is A, OGN-278 Bandle Tree ("You may hide an additional card here.", and nobody hides); theirs is B, SFD-210 Hall of Legends ("When you conquer here, you may pay :rb_energy_1: to ready your legend.", and you never conquer B). Your opening four are Void Hatchling, Void Drone, Red Brambleback and Tryndamere. Your draws are Void Hatchling (T1), Red Brambleback (T2), Void Drone (T3), Tryndamere (T4) and Red Brambleback (T5). Their opening four are Noxus Saboteur, Legion Rearguard, Dangerous Duo and Pouty Poro. Their draws are Mystic Poro (T1), Cemetery Attendant (T2), Noxus Hopeful (T3), Legion Rearguard (T4), Flame Chompers (the legend's draw on T4) and Hextech Ray (T5).

The main line is the Brambleback list.

Their points: 0 after their T1, 1 after their T2, 2 after their T3, 4 after their T4, 5 after their T5. After their T2 it is 1 to 1; after your T3, 2 to 1; after their T3, 2 to 2; after your T4, 3 to 2; after their T4, 3 to 4; after your T5, 6 to 4; after their T5, 6 to 5.

Runes on your board at the end of each turn: 2, 4, 5, 6, 6. On theirs: 3, 5, 7, 8, 10.

Your hand, card by card: 5 after the T1 draw, 4 after the Hatchling; 5 after the T2 draw, 4 after the Drone; 5 after the T3 draw, 3 after the Brambleback and the Hatchling; 4 after the T4 draw, 3 after Tryndamere (Red Brambleback, Void Drone, Tryndamere); 4 after the T5 draw, 2 after the Brambleback and the Drone (Tryndamere, Red Brambleback). Theirs: 5 after the T1 draw, 4 after the Saboteur; 5 after the T2 draw, 3 after the Rearguard and the Pouty Poro (Dangerous Duo, Mystic Poro, Cemetery Attendant); 4 after the T3 draw, 1 after the Mystic Poro, the Duo and the Hopeful (Cemetery Attendant); 2 after the T4 draw, 3 after the legend's draw, 2 after the Attendant, 3 with the Hopeful back, 1 after the Hopeful and the Rearguard (Flame Chompers); 2 after the T5 draw, 1 after the Chompers (Hextech Ray).

Your T2: the Drone guards A, and the Brambleback waits. The Hatchling takes A, which is empty: a non-combat showdown (316.8.b.1), and they have no rune ready, so it is a Conquer, 348.2.a.1: "This results in a Conquer if that player has not yet scored that Battlefield this turn." The Drone goes to A, which you now control, 355.2.a: "By default, Valid locations include the controller’s Base or a Battlefield the controller controls." A Brambleback played now would sit in base for three turns, or stand at A where it can never join an attack (144.4). And Tryndamere on T4 needs seven runes, so you can recycle at most one rune before then: one Brambleback by T3, not two.

Their T2: the empty battlefield. A is 2 + 3 = 5. The Rearguard and then the Duo would make the Saboteur a 5, and 5 into 5 kills everything at A on both sides. A would be left with nobody, 466.5.b: "If there are no Units remaining here controlled by any player, the Battlefield becomes Uncontrolled." That scores nothing; the empty B scores one. They take B and keep the Duo.

Your T3 and theirs. You Hold A, 469.2: "Hold: A player maintains Control of a Battlefield they did not yet Score this turn during their Beginning Phase." The first Brambleback goes to base, ready from your T4 on, and the second Hatchling to A: A is 2 + 3 + 2 = 7. Their ready bodies in base are the Rearguard and the Pouty Poro, 4, and a Duo played this turn would make them 6, so they do not attack. The Mystic Poro's [Vision] shows them the Rearguard on top, and they keep it. The Duo's [Legion] is on, because the Poro was played first, and its +2 has nothing to do. Their base is 2 + 2 + 2 + 3 + 4 = 13.

Your T4: Tryndamere to base, and A falls. Tryndamere costs all seven runes, and Relentless Storm puts an eighth on the board exhausted: six after the two recycled. Their 13 will take A whatever you do. With the Brambleback at A it is 11, and you lose the Brambleback with it, so it stays in base. Played to A instead, Tryndamere makes A 15 and they do not attack it, but from A he can never attack anything (144.4). This walk is about the burst.

Their T4: A is theirs, and their new bodies go to B. They Hold B, then all five attack A. Their 13 kill your three, 7 in all. Your 7 go on the Hopeful and the Duo, 4 and 3. The Rearguard, the Pouty Poro and the Mystic Poro remain, so A is theirs, 466.5.d: "Establishing Control results in a Conquer if that player has not yet scored this Battlefield this turn." The legend draws the Chompers. The Attendant brings the Hopeful back, and the Hopeful costs two with [Legion]. All three go to B, the battlefield Tryndamere would have to take from them: B is 3 + 3 + 4 + 2 = 12, A is 2 + 2 + 2 = 6. Two runes stay up, with no instant in their hand.

Your T5: the attack. You control no battlefield, so nothing to Hold. The second Brambleback is Accelerated into your base, ready. Tryndamere, which readied in your Awaken Phase (315.1.b: "The Turn Player readies all Game Objects they control that are able to be readied."), and both Bramblebacks move to A as one action: 8 + 4 + 4 = 16. Not B: at 12, the defender kills Tryndamere (the table in §2). You have Focus first, 464.2.d: "3. The Attacker gains Focus." You pass, and they have nothing to play.

The damage. Your 16 assign 2 to each of their three, 6, and 10 can go nowhere: the excess is 10. Their 6 kill the first Brambleback, 4 in full, and put 2 on the second. Only your units remain, and A is yours with a Conquer: +1. The dead Brambleback adds nothing (365.1). Tryndamere's clause triggers twice, once and once more for the Brambleback still there: +2. The surviving Brambleback's own "When I conquer, [Buff] a friendly unit" also triggers twice: one buff on Tryndamere, a 9, and one on the Brambleback, a 5. A buff is one per unit, 702.3: "There can only be one Buff on a Unit at a time." The last three runes put the Drone at A: 9 + 5 + 3 = 17. 6 to 4.

Their T5. They Hold B: 6 to 5. Their units at B reach A only through their base, a turn later (144.4), and A is 17. They play the Chompers and hold the Ray. Not walked: your T6, where a Hold of A is 7, and the turns after.

The control: Wily Newtfish in the Brambleback slots, same deal. The Newtfish costs no Power, so on T3 you keep all six runes, and on T4 you have eight and one left after Tryndamere. Their T4 is the same: 3 to 4, A at 6 and B at 12. On T5 the second Newtfish has no Accelerate and enters exhausted, so Tryndamere attacks A beside one Newtfish: 12 into 6, an excess of 6. Their 6 kill the Newtfish, and Tryndamere fires once: +1 +1, 5 to 4. The Newtfish and the Drone go to A after. They Hold B: 5 to 5.

If they had put their T4 bodies at A instead. A is 6 + 3 + 4 + 2 = 15, and B is the Saboteur alone, 3. Tryndamere and both Bramblebacks attack B: an excess of 13, and the Saboteur's 3 kill nobody. Conquer +1, and Tryndamere fires three times: 7 to 4. They Hold A on their T5, 7 to 5, and nothing of theirs reaches B before your T6, where Hold B is the eighth point, and 8 to 5 wins, 194.2: "A player wins the game if, in a cleanup, they have points greater than or equal to the Victory Score and more points than any other player." So the split they chose in the main line is the better one for them, and the next section shows the one that is better still.

How often this happens. The draw pile is 39 cards, the 40 of Tournament Rules 402.1 less the Chosen Champion. Tournament Rules 402.1: "In a constructed event, players must register a Main Deck of exactly 40 cards (including a chosen champion), 1 Legend, 12 runes, and exactly 3 battlefields each with a unique name." Going first, you have seen 4 + n cards on turn n. With three copies of each, a Brambleback among your first 7 (by T3) is 45.73%, a Tryndamere among your first 8 (by T4) 50.82%, two Bramblebacks among your first 9 (by T5) 12.74%, and all three together, the main line's deal, 5.45%. The T7 nine needs at least two Tryndameres among the first 10 and three Bramblebacks among the first 11, which is 0.18% before any turn-by-turn order is asked of them.

5. Breaks to

What the burst did, and the predicate. On T5 Tryndamere and two Bramblebacks conquered A, and Tryndamere's clause triggered twice. The predicate is: played by them, does it leave Tryndamere's clause triggering fewer than twice in that Conquer?

The scope. A Fury/Chaos deck plays only Fury, Chaos and Fury/Chaos cards (103.1.b), and its Signature cards must carry its legend's tag. As in the En Garde play, that is 247 cards folded by name (not a legend, battlefield, rune or token, and not a Signature card with another champion's tag), after the five banned in constructed (Called Shot, Draven, Vanquisher, Fight or Flight, Scrapheap, Stealthy Pursuer). 62 of them are spells.

The free answer: eight Might where Tryndamere has to go. On their T4 the Rearguard goes to A instead of B: the same card, the same rune. A is 2 + 2 + 2 + 2 = 8 and B is 3 + 3 + 4 = 10, and Tryndamere has to attack one of them. At A their 8 go on Tryndamere, lethal in full (465.2.c.3), and your 16 kill all four. A is yours, +1, and Tryndamere is not there to trigger (383.4.c.2.a). The Bramblebacks trigger only their buffs. 4 to 4, and 4 to 5 after their T5 Hold of B, against the main line's 6 to 5. At B it is the same: 8 on Tryndamere, 2 on a Brambleback. Not attacking at all, you control no battlefield and they Hold both on their T5: 3 to 6. Any garrison of 8 Might answers Tryndamere, and the Draven deck puts 8 Might on a battlefield by its T4 without trying.

With the two open runes, one card. On your T5 they have two ready runes, and Power comes from any rune, ready or not (164.2.b). The predicate for the candidates: of the 62 spells, a card with [Action] or [Reaction] (the regex \[(Action|Reaction)\], case-insensitive, reminder text left in) that costs no more than E2. That is 27 cards, and 13 of them break the line:

The other fourteen do not. OGN-004 Cleave, SFD-003 Blood Rush and UNL-010 Vault Breaker pump an attacker, and theirs defend. OGN-169 Gust returns a unit of 3 Might or less, and yours are 4 and 8. OGS-011 Flash moves two of their defenders to base, which only raises your excess. OGN-033 Shakedown deals 6 "unless its controller has you draw 2", and you choose the draw. VEN-015 Decree of Rage hits Calm units only. SFD-136 Hard Bargain and UNL-131 Abandon counter spells, and you cast none. OGN-170 Morbid Return, OGN-179 Acceptable Losses, OGN-183 Stacked Deck, SFD-011 Angle Shot and SFD-135 Factory Recall do not touch the combat.

The cheapest card answers cost one rune and one Power: Hextech Ray, Monster Harpoon and Existential Dread. Not counted: units that come in at Reaction speed. Five cost E2 or less (OGN-197 Teemo, Scout, OGN-199 Tideturner, UNL-002 Inferna, UNL-003 Mischievous Marai, UNL-141 Evelynn, Entrancing), and four of them must be hidden at that battlefield a turn ahead.

What a Brambleback costs them. Against the nine, the table in §2 is the whole answer: a garrison of 4 Might takes two points, 8 takes four, 12 takes six. The Bramblebacks are the cheapest bodies in the attack, so the defender's damage goes to them first.

6. Verdict

Right about the formula; the nine needs a board the opponent does not have to give. Walked going first against the Draven deck, one Tryndamere and two Bramblebacks attacked on T5, the earliest turn that board can attack. A garrison of three 2-Might bodies killed a Brambleback before the Conquer, so Tryndamere fired twice: 3 points, 6 to 4, and 6 to 5 after their T5. The same deal with a plain 4-Might body in the Brambleback slots ends 5 to 5: the Bramblebacks were worth one point here. The entry's nine first attacks on T7, with or without Relentless Storm's rune, and it scores nine only into a garrison of 1 to 3 total Might. Their free answer is to put 8 Might where Tryndamere has to attack: he dies in the combat, and the game is 4 to 5 after their T5. Holding two runes, they have 13 cards that do it, three of them for one rune and one Power: Hextech Ray, Monster Harpoon and Existential Dread.

Your runes. The walk assumes twelve Fury runes (103.3.a.1 allows it), so every Power in it can be paid: 0 failures. A list with Body runes was not dealt.

Their runes. Their walk assumes six Fury and six Chaos, as in the En Garde play. The Cemetery Attendant on their T4 needs a Chaos among their first nine runes: with six Fury it cannot fail, 0 of 220. On your T5 they have eight runes on the board, their first nine less the recycled Chaos. Their first nine hold at least three of each domain, so at least two Chaos and three Fury remain: every breaker in §5, including the two that need two Chaos Power, can be paid, 0 of 220.

The deal. The walk fixes both hands. The main line's own deal, a Brambleback by T3, a Tryndamere by T4 and a second Brambleback by T5, is 5.45% (§4). Their deciding to attack A on their T4 and to put the late bodies at B are the walk's choices of opponent; §4 and §5 walk the two other splits.

The count. The table in §2 assumes the garrison's summed Might is also its lethal total (no damage marked, no [Tank], no Shield) and that nothing else changes Might in the combat. Not walked: going second, the mulligan, 2v2, the turns after their T5, Tryndamere played to A as a wall, and the second Tryndamere.
