There’s something deeply unsettling about Undercover Agent at first glance—not in a horrific way, but in how perfectly composed the deception is.
The polished suit, the intricate gold tattoos, the clean lines of posture. He doesn’t look out of place. He looks exactly like he belongs. And that’s the problem.
The mood here is sharp and sterile. A sense of choreography, like every movement was rehearsed.
He’s mid-step, scanning his surroundings, not out of panic—but calculation.
You can almost hear the ambient hum of the lab and the quiet ticking of a double life closing in.
Illustration Breakdown
Undercover Agent is staged against a glowing, cluttered lab filled with brass coils, pipes, and glowing fluids—industrial Zaun energy, but rendered in a muted palette of green-gold haze.
The depth is cinematic. Foreground shadows frame him like a spotlight in a surveillance feed.
But it’s his body that steals the moment. His right arm is biomechanical—inked, tooled, glowing.
He’s neither fully human nor fully machine, and we’re left guessing how deep the modifications go.
His face is mostly masked, and even in a room full of dangerous tech, he’s the most unreadable object.
The art tells us this: whatever side he’s on, he’s playing both.
Gameplay Integration
Undercover Agent is a 5|5 for five, but the real action happens on death. His Deathknell effect forces you to discard two, then draw two—a rare mechanic that balances cost and control.
You’re filtering, not just topdecking. You choose what to lose.
The synergy here is thematic. He operates best under pressure. Undercover Agent doesn’t win you games on his own, but he pulls strings in discard decks, graveyard loops, or value grind matchups.
You deploy him knowing full well that his true move happens when he exits.
That mechanic—sacrifice for intelligence—lines up perfectly with the image of a man who discards himself to feed a greater plan. Nothing he reveals is free.

Whether Undercover Agent becomes a meta staple depends on how deep discard synergy goes in Riftbound.
But from an art perspective alone, it’s a standout. The styling, the ambiguity, and the story told in a single glance make this a card worth sleeving—foil or not.
This one doesn’t scream for attention. It whispers—and that’s far more dangerous.
