Building a Collection

Building a Collection

Players must build their collection of cards from the various sets of cards within Splinterlands to create teams under different rulesets and battle conditions. Keep the distinction between Ranked Play Modes in mind while building your collection. Though many Wild/Survival cards are powerful and enticing, they may not be used with the Modern format. Review Sets & Editions for a comprehensive look at the various cards Splinterlands has to offer.

Buying Booster Packs

Players can purchase Booster Packs from the Conclave Arcana set using Credits or Dark Energy Crystals. There are 4 different packs:

To purchase packs, click Splinterlands Shop and click Conclave Arcana in the drop-down menu. You can click Splinterlands Shop and then Card Packs from the main navigation or on the landing page as well. You can find more details from those different packs here: Purchasing Booster Packs | Splinterlands

Buying Old Sets Booster Packs - Players can purchase old booster packs from the Splinterlands peer-to-peer market.

Buying Cards - Players can purchase individual cards from the Splinterlands peer-to-peer market with Dark Energy Crystals or Credits.

Renting Cards - Because HIVE blockchain assets can be delegated, meaning loaned, to other accounts, cards can be rented using the rental marketplace at Splinterlands or third-party markets. Rented cards cannot be combined, sold, or transferred, but the renter can play them and they count toward that player's Collection Power for tournaments.

Renting cards is an excellent way for players to increase the diversity of their playable deck.

Archons are Key

To compete with leveled-up Units, remember that leveled-up Archons are also needed. If you have leveled up card Units beyond your summoning capability, they will always be limited in a battle to the maximum level your archons allow. That's why it's a good idea to level up your Archons first, then level up the Unit cards to meet their summoning level.
