Is a draw possible in Riftbound when both players run out of cards and are stuck with units on different battlefields?

Ruling: No, a draw cannot happen in Riftbound. When you run out of cards (burnout), you shuffle your trash into your Main Deck, choose an opponent to gain 1 point, and then perform the action that caused the burnout.

Sequence:

  • When attempting to draw with an empty Main Deck, burnout occurs
  • Shuffle your trash into your Main Deck
  • Choose an opponent to gain 1 point
  • Then perform the action (e.g., draw the card)

Nuances:

  • You can win the game by receiving the final point from your opponent burning out (e.g., if the score is 8-8 with a 9-point victory condition, the opponent burning out gives you the winning point)
