Greetings to all Splinterlands enthusiasts! It’s always a pleasure to connect with this vibrant community. I’m thrilled to dive into this week’s Community Engagement Challenge and shine a spotlight on the biggest game-changer Splinterlands has seen in years: the Frontier Format. If you’ve been curious about what the Frontier means for new and veteran players alike, read on because I’ve got you covered!
Splinterlands has always been about evolution, accessibility, and ownership. With the official debut of the Frontier Format, those ideas have been taken to a remarkable new level. The Frontier Format shatters barriers, making Splinterlands 100% free-to-play and enabling everyone to earn, own, and compete from the very start.
What is the Frontier Format?
The concept is elegantly simple, yet packed with potential, including the following: Every player starts for free, no spellbook is needed, and no upfront purchases are required. Earn real, ownable cards by playing, completing quests, and ranking up. Frontier is its ecosystem, a separate ranked ladder, energy, and rewards. It doesn’t overlap with Modern or Wild, so your climb is truly your own. Foundation Cards are at the heart of Frontier battles. These are exclusive to the format and level the playing field, ensuring everyone has an equal shot at victory based on strategy and skill, not wallet size.
If you're new (or even if you want a guided reintroduction), Campaign Mode is the best way to kick off your Frontier adventure. Here’s how it works: Finish Campaign chapters to unlock your first Foundation cards. Each win helps you build a starter deck, one victory at a time. Progress is smooth, rewarding, and gives you everything needed to take on the wider Frontier Format. This hands-on start means zero frustration and lots of exciting early rewards.
Frontier Format: Features & Flow
True Free-to-Play: Step into the arena with no cost, just your time and skill. Foundation Card Battles Only: Everyone fights on equal footing, pure skill, real strategy. Real Digital Ownership: Every card earned is yours to keep, trade, or use in other formats. Quest for Progress: Complete up to three daily quests for even more cards and rewards, ensuring steady collection growth. Separate Ranking & Energy: Frontier progress is totally independent, giving everyone a clear path and individual goals.
The Frontier Format is a dream come true for both new and established players: Brand New? Start for free, learn as you play, and build an NFT collection without spending a dime. A Veteran? Master a fresh metagame, race to the top in a new competitive field, and help shape the next generation of Summoners. Collectors & Competitors: Every card holds value and potential beyond the format itself, whether you want to build, battle, or trade.
My Pro Tips & Reflections
Prioritize Campaign Progress: Your initial wins rapidly expand your available cards—focus here first! Maximize Daily Quests: Three quests per day means three times the rewards. Don’t skip them. Community Counts: The best part of Splinterlands is the players. Share strategies, join tournaments, and support newcomers to keep the Frontier buzzing. Track the Meta: Because every player is using Foundation cards, clever deckbuilding and adaptability are huge advantages.
