Hello Splinterlands friends, how is everyone? Hope you're having a great time on the battlefield. Recently, Splinterlands announced their brand-new 'Reckoning' mini-set, which will completely revamp our current weekly Fortune Draw system. This 52-week event will feature new cards, new abilities, exclusive skins, and chances to win extra rewards. Let's go over all the details in simple terms.
Important Dates (2026)
- Pre-Pay Starts: November 24 at 8 PM ET (November 25, 01:00 UTC / 7 AM Bangladesh Time)
- Pre-Pay Ends: December 1 at 8 PM ET (December 2 at 01:00 UTC / 7 AM Bangladesh Time)
- General Distribution Begins: December 8
- First Reckoning Fortune Draw: December 18
- First Longshot Brothers Second Chance Draw: December 19
What's in the 'Reckoning' Mini-Set?
Reckoning is a mini-set of 15 new cards inspired by 15 contributing members of the Splinterlands community (e.g., Bulldog, Gathering, Shade, MattClarke, BraveTofu, etc.). It includes 5 Common, 5 Rare, 3 Epic, and 2 Legendary cards. Each card is available in Regular, Gold, Black, Gold Arcane and Black Arcane foils. Their CP and PP will be like the Conclave Arcana set, and they will follow the "Extra" card rules. Remember, while the 5-card packs are Soulbound, the cards inside are not Soulbound after the pack is opened—meaning they can be traded on the market.
3 New Abilities
- Reckoning: Deals 2x damage to enemies with 15–19 Max Health, 3x damage to enemies with 20–24 Health, and 4x damage to enemies with 25+ Health.
- Necrosis: Dealing damage with a Melee, Ranged, Magic, or Armored Strike applies Necrosis to the enemy. Starting the 2nd round, there is a 50% chance it will spread to a neighboring friendly card at the start of each round. Additionally, when the affected card's Max Health is reduced, it takes 1 damage.
- Unbaited: Completely ignores an enemy's Taunt ability when targeting for an attack.
Weekly Tiers & Costs
This program has three weekly tiers, with the DEC going directly to the Splinterlands DAO:
- Tier 1 (2,000 DEC/week): 1 pack and a chance at a Fortune Draw.
- Tier 2 (6,000 DEC/week): 3 packs, +500 Glint per win on Wednesdays, and a Fortune Draw.
- Tier 3 (12,000 DEC/week): 6 packs, +1,000 Glint per win on Wednesdays, +25 weekly capacity in the Energy Well (this increases capacity, not direct free energy), and a Fortune Draw.
Must meet the league and SPS staking requirements for the Fortune Draw.
Pre-Pay & Exclusive Skin Pack
You can secure packs by paying for 52 weeks at once during the 7-day Pre-Pay period. Tier 1 costs 104,000 DEC (52 packs), Tier 2 costs 312,000 DEC (156 packs), and Tier 3 costs 624,000 DEC (312 packs). The entire program will have a maximum of 103,400 packs (a maximum of 51,700 each for Pre-Pay and regular distribution).
Pre-Paying comes with the bonus of 3 skin packs (1 for Tier 1, 3 for Tier 2, and 6 for Tier 3). Among the 2,985 skins in a total of 995 packs will be rare skins like Voices of Praetoria (only 5 copies of each). However, skin packs do not have duplicate protection. Unsold packs will be given away through a draw to Pre-Pay players.
Fortune Draw and 'Leo & Leeroy' Second Chance Draw
Over 52 weeks, the main Fortune Draw will feature 7,075 prizes: 6,770 Gold Foil and 305 Super Premium Foil (Black Foil, GFA & BFA). Gold Foil can be won multiple times, but the Super Premium limit is 1 per week.
If you don't win in the main draw, your entry automatically moves to the next day's Leo and Leeroy Longshot Second Chance Draw. Both are Common cards, and a total of 61,660 prizes will be awarded over the year (30,830 each). You can win at most one Leo and one Leeroy per week.
Once the regular distribution packs are gone, Tiers 2 and 3 will close, but you can still get a Tier 1 Fortune Draw Pass for 2,000 DEC, granting 20,000 Glint and a chance to draw. Of course, pre-paid packs will still be honored.
All in all, a great year is coming with new cards, abilities, and the Longshot Brothers. Be sure to let us know in the comments which tier you're planning to go for! Happy battling!
