Collection Power

This page explains how Splinterlands Collection Power is calculated, and the ways in which it impacts your play.

What is Collection Power?

Every Splinterlands account holds a single Collection Power score, or the total combined DEC Burn Value of all cards in a player's control (there are some exceptions: Soulbound Rewards cards contribute to Collection Power but do not have a DEC Burn Value). Your current Collection Power is the total sum of cards:

• Cards owned by you

• Cards rented from other players

• Cards delegated to you by other players

What is Collection Power Used For?

Collection Power can be used as a tournament entry requirement. This measure ensures that only individuals at or above the specified Collection Power may participate.

• Gladiator cards and cards staked on land no longer count toward Collection Power for tournament entry requirements.

Collection Power used to be a factor in determining the maximum league a player could access in both Modern and Wild. This functionality was removed during the Ranked Battle Overhaul on Feb. 29th, 2024.

Where Can I View My Collection Power?

You can view your account’s Collection Power under the Cards tab, on your Items page, as indicated by the green arrow below:

How is Collection Power Determined?

Each card has a Dark Energy Crystal (DEC) burn value, which is the amount of DEC that is awarded if that card is burned and permanently removed from the supply. Collection Power is the total of the burn value of eligible cards within your collection. As of April 2nd, 2024, Gladiator Set cards will no longer be able to be burned for DEC but will still be included in Collection Power.

Several variables influence burn value:

• Rarity: The more rare the card, the higher its DEC burn value.

• BCX: The more copies of a card combined into an individual card, the higher the DEC burn value.

• Foil: Gold Foil cards have a higher DEC burn value than Regular Foil.

• Set: Older and rarer editions of cards have higher DEC burn values.

You can locate the burn value of specific cards by clicking on a specific card in your collection, and navigating to the Card Details screen and reviewing the Power column. To convert cards to DEC, click the checkbox of the desired card. Next, click the button indicated by the red arrow below.
