Burning Cards

All cards are backed by a certain amount of DEC, GLINT or MERITS. When burned, those DEC, GLINT or MERITS are awarded to the player.

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.
