- 40 Cards
- 6 Champions
We have two new formats for this cycle of Daily Rumbles! Singleton and 30 HP Nexus.

Designer’s Note: Singleton is also going to be the format for the Runeterra Open. We wanted to experiment and try
a different format for the last Runeterra Open of the Beta Season. Once we’re out of Beta you can expect the
following Runeterra Opens to be the most competitive formats we have.
Editor’s Note: Rubin,
don’t steal my job. Notes are my thing.
