# Collection Power
## What is Collection Power?
Every Splinterlands has a “Collection Power” value, or the total combined [Burn Value](https://support.splinterlands.com/hc/en-us/articles/9187762729492-Burning-Cards) of all Owned cards in a player's collection.
Cards that are delegated or rented to an account do NOT count for Collection Power, except in the case of Tournaments as of the [June 18th, 2024](https://docs.splinterlands.com/platform/release-notes/2024#id-2024-06-18) update. In those cases, the Collection Power is calculated when the user checks the Tournament interface, showing the most recent value including those rented/delegated cards.
## 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](https://peakd.com/splinterlands/@splinterlands/splinterlands-ranked-battle-overhaul) on Feb. 29th, 2024.
2.5 Million Owned Collection Power gives access to the #cardcollector room on the Official Splinterlands [Discord](https://discord.gg/splinterlands).
## Where Can I View My Collection Power?
You can view your account’s Collection Power under the [*Cards*](https://next.splinterlands.com/user/collection/) tab, on your *Items* page, as indicated in the image:
## How is the burn value determined?
Each card has a power value, this is used to determine the burn value of the card. Most cards can be burned for [Dark Energy Crystal (DEC)](https://docs.splinterlands.com/dark-energy-crystals/burning-cards), although Gladiator Cards are burned for Merits and Soulbound Reward Cards are burned for Glint.
Several variables influence burn value:
* [Rarity](https://docs.splinterlands.com/cards/card-rarities): The rarer the card, the higher its DEC burn value.
* [BCX](https://docs.splinterlands.com/cards/combining-cards): The more copies of a card combined into an individual card, the higher the DEC burn value.
* [Foil](https://docs.splinterlands.com/cards/gold-foil-cards): Gold Foil cards have a higher DEC burn value than Regular Foil.
* [Set](https://docs.splinterlands.com/cards/sets-editions): 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, navigating to the *Card Details* screen, and reviewing the *Power* column. To convert cards to DEC, Glint, or Merits, click the checkbox of the desired card. Next, click the button indicated by the red arrow below.
