What Is Summoner Skirmish?

Summoner Skirmish is Riftbound’s competitive in-store event. It sits above Nexus Nights in the organised play ladder and is designed for players who want to test their decks seriously against other players in a structured tournament setting.

It runs twice per set, so you get two shots at it per new release window. The first Summoner Skirmish events launched in early 2026 and they’re now running regularly at local game stores across North America and beyond.

How Does It Work?

Here’s the format at a glance:

Format: 1v1 Constructed (you bring your own pre-built deck)

Deck registration required. You have to submit your decklist before the event.

Rounds: Swiss rounds (everyone plays a set number of rounds based on attendance), followed by a Top Cut

Match structure: Best of 3 per match, with 50-minute rounds in Swiss

Organised Play Level: Competitive. The official tournament rules apply.
