Riftbound Origins Metal cards are the shiny, tournament-only trophies that every collector is currently hunting down. Unlike the ultra-rare Foil Plated Legends, whose secondary market prices have skyrocketed through the roof, these Standard Plated Legends sit at a more attainable mid-tier — still special, just not “sell a kidney” special.

You won’t find them in a booster pack no matter how many you crack, since they’re earned exclusively through high-tier competitive play, either by redeeming tickets at a tournament Prize Wall or by placing well in a Showdown Series event. Depending on the champion, raw copies typically trade for $1,000 to $5,500+, with chase favorites like Ahri commanding even steeper premiums once graded.
12. Sett – The Boss (269/298)
Sett’s larger-than-life, boss-fight energy makes for one of the more visually striking metal cards in the set. Brawler fans and casual collectors alike tend to gravitate toward this one simply because it looks as tough as he plays.
11. Miss Fortune – Bounty Hunter (267/298)
Miss Fortune’s sharpshooter reputation gives her metal card an easy pitch: high risk, high reward, just like her playstyle. She remains a steady pick for competitive players, which keeps demand for this card consistently strong.
10. Viktor – Herald of the Arcane (265/298)
Viktor’s glowing, machine-augmented aesthetic practically demands a metal treatment, and the card delivers on that promise. Collectors drawn to the Arcane-inspired roster tend to prioritize this one early in their hunt.
9. Teemo – Swift Scout (263/298)
Small, sneaky, and secretly terrifying, Teemo’s metal card proves that chase-worthy doesn’t always mean intimidating. His enduring meme status in the League community only adds to the appeal of owning this particular piece of shiny cardboard.
8. Leona – Radiant Dawn (261/298)
Leona’s protective, light-wielding identity gives her metal card a distinctly heroic feel that stands out in any binder. She’s a popular pick for players who favor durable, team-first strategies, and collectors have taken notice.
7. Yasuo – Unforgiven (259/298)
Few champions have a fandom as loyal as Yasuo’s, and his metal card benefits from that built-in hype every time it surfaces at a tournament Prize Wall. The card’s sleek, windswept presentation matches his reputation as one of Runeterra’s most stylish swordsmen.
6. Lee Sin – Blind Monk (257/298)
Lee Sin’s mobility-focused kit has made him a longtime community favorite, and that popularity carries straight over into demand for his metal card. Fans of skill-expression-heavy champions treat this one as a must-have for a serious collection.
5. Darius – Hand of Noxus (253/298)
Darius represents Noxian brute force at its purest, and his metal card is a natural pickup for anyone drawn to aggressive, punishing archetypes. It’s become a quiet favorite for collectors who like their trophy cards to look as intimidating as the champion plays.
4. Volibear – Relentless Storm (249/298)
Volibear’s card leans into raw, thunderous power, making it a favorite among players who build around big stompy threats. The metal finish adds real weight to a champion whose entire identity is about hitting harder than everyone else at the table.
3. Jinx – Loose Cannon (251/298)
True to her name, Jinx brings chaotic, high-risk energy to the battlefield, and her metal card captures that unhinged charm in permanent, shiny form. Collectors chasing explosive, swingy champions tend to circle back to this one again and again.
2. Kai’Sa – Daughter of the Void (247/298)
Kai’Sa’s Void-forged design translates beautifully onto a metal card, giving her Voidborn silhouette an extra layer of menace under the light. She’s a fan-favorite pick for players who like an aggressive, evolve-as-you-go playstyle, making this card a natural target for anyone building a themed binder.
1. Ahri – Nine-Tailed Fox (255/298)
As the undisputed chase card of the set, Ahri’s metal edition is the one collectors mention first and pay the most to own. Her Hold-focused legend ability makes her a competitive mainstay, which only adds fuel to the demand fire around this particular piece of metal.
Because standard metal cards share the same base illustration as the regular versions rather than alternate artwork, they double as the most accessible entry point into metal card collecting without the ultra-rare alt-art price tag. Starting with this inaugural Origins run gives you a clean baseline for a master binder, one you can keep expanding as every future set adds its own roster of Champions. From here, it’s really just a matter of picking a favorite and starting the hunt.
