We Played Riftbound 2v2… and It’s Insane

Sideways Showdown is our newest competitive experiment — and this episode kicks things off with the FIRST EVER 2v2 Riftbound match on the channel.

Two teams. One shared point total. Zero chill.

2v2 Riftbound throws the rulebook slightly sideways. Teammates share points, cast spells on each other’s turns, and fight across three battlefields at once, which means no one ever really gets to relax. Every turn is louder, faster, and full of “wait, can you respond to that?” moments.

In this match, you’ll see exactly why 2v2 hits different. Coordinated legend abilities, layered spell stacks, and perfectly (or horribly) timed plays turn every decision into a team debate. One player sets the trap, the other pulls the trigger. Sometimes both players realize five seconds too late that they probably should’ve talked first.

We break open what makes 2v2 so fun to play and watch: shared resources, chaotic combat math, and swing turns that simply cannot happen in 1v1. Whether it’s absurd rune counts, back-to-back responses, or battlefields changing hands mid-stack, this format rewards teamwork, trust, and a little bit of reckless confidence.

If you like your Riftbound strategic but slightly unhinged, Sideways Showdown is where you want to be.
