Riftbound TCG Card Database

Machine-readable snapshot of every card in Riftbound: The League of Legends TCG, auto-scraped from the official Card Gallery and errata pages.

Snapshot date: 2026-08-11 Cards: 1188

Source repo (scraper + pipeline): https://github.com/LouisCourrian/riftbound-cards Every GitHub release publishes the same three formats as attached assets and mirrors them here.

Files

File What
cards.csv Full corpus, one row per card. Array fields (card_type_labels, tags) are JSON strings.
cards.json Same corpus, with arrays as real arrays.
card_errata.csv Merged errata (auto-scraped + manual overrides).
riftbound.db Prisma-managed SQLite with a cards and a card_errata table.

Quick start

Load the primary card list with the datasets library:

from datasets import load_dataset
ds = load_dataset("Wysme/riftbound-cards", split="train")
print(ds[0])
# {'card_code': 'ven-r01', 'name': 'Fury Rune', 'domain': 'Fury', ...}

Load the errata list:

errata = load_dataset("Wysme/riftbound-cards", "errata", split="train")

Query the SQLite directly (nicer for joins):

from huggingface_hub import hf_hub_download
import sqlite3, pandas as pd
path = hf_hub_download("Wysme/riftbound-cards", "riftbound.db", repo_type="dataset")
con = sqlite3.connect(path)
pd.read_sql("SELECT name, domain, energy, might FROM cards WHERE card_type='Unit' AND domain='Calm'", con)

Schema

Notable columns on cards:

  • card_code — stable identifier (<setCode>-<cardNumber>, e.g. ven-sp2-006)
  • name / subtitle / full_name — split for champions (Sona / Harmonious / Sona, Harmonious)
  • card_type — primary type (Unit, Rune, Spell, Gear, Legend, Battlefield, Token)
  • card_type_labels — every label displayed under Card Type (["Unit","Champion"]); JSON string in the CSV, real array in the JSON
  • tags — creature type / faction tags; same shape as card_type_labels
  • energy, power, might — integers or null
  • domains — every domain symbol printed in the card frame; JSON string in the CSV/SQLite, real array in the JSON. Legends are usually bi-domain (["Fury","Chaos"])
  • domain — first entry of domains, kept as a plain string for consumers that expect a single value (Calm, Fury, Mind, Body, Chaos, Order, Colorless)
  • ability_original — the printed text
  • ability_corrected — the errata replacement (null when none applies)
  • ability_effectiveability_corrected ?? ability_original (what you should treat as canonical)
  • has_errata — boolean shortcut
  • image_url — full-resolution CDN URL (query string stripped)
  • source_url — deep-link into the Card Gallery

Power's rune colour always equals the card's domain — that's the Riftbound rule, so no separate power_domain column is stored.
