Cards within Splinterlands can be “Tradable” or “Soulbound”, which will affect various things about their use outside of battles, including what token they can be burned for. Burning means the card will be destroyed, and permanently removed from circulation.
Tradable cards consist of any cards that can be transferred, sold, rented, or burned for DEC. These can be obtained via booster packs (for any of the various sets) or purchased from the card market.
Soulbound cards consist of any cards that are bound to the owner’s account, and cannot be transferred, sold, rented, or burned for DEC (though they can be burned for GLINT or MERITS). These can be obtained as rewards in loot chests and rarity draws via GWEN'S GLINT SHOP, as well as Gladius Cases via the GUILD STORE. Gladiator cards from Gladius cases are burnable for Merits.
The DEC burn value of a card can be found within the details for a specific card, in the Power column on the right-hand side of the screen. Only tradable (non-Soulbound) cards can be burned for DEC. Click on any card on your Items page, then make sure the “Cards” tab is selected, as seen below:
Card burn values are based on several factors:

Foil

The DEC burn value of a card is also equivalent to its Collection Power value. The DEC burn value is always displayed next to the cards you own on the Collection page. If you do not own a certain card, you can also use the following chart to determine the DEC burn value.
The GLINT burn value of a card can be determined by multiplying the Power value of a card by 5. Soulbound Reward cards can be burned for GLINT. To see a card’s Power, click on any Soulbound Reward card on your Items page, then make sure the “Cards” tab is selected, as seen below:
Card burn values for GLINT are based on the same factors as DEC burning; If you do not own a certain card you can use the following chart below to determine the GLINT burn value:
The MERIT burn value of a card can be found within the details for a specific card, in the Power column on the right-hand side of the screen. Only Gladiator cards can be burned for MERITS. Click on any Gladiator card on your Items page, then make sure the “Cards” tab is selected, as seen below:
