A Lucky Pull and a Meaningful Card
This time around, I got a card that I actually use quite a bit in my matches—which makes the win feel even better. But what truly made this one special is that it happened to be my first-ever Black Foil Arcane card!
For anyone keeping track, these Black Foil Arcanes are the rarest variant of the new foil types introduced to the game. They’re stunning visually and symbolically, representing the pinnacle of rarity within this latest generation of cards.
Even though the market prices for these foils have fluctuated—often dipping as more are discovered—I still think they bring real value to Collections. Their scarcity and unique appeal make them trophies in their own right, especially for long-time players who have watched the ecosystem evolve over the years.
The Grind That Keeps Giving
The Frontier mode has been a long but rewarding grind for me. Maximizing cards and building a competitive Collection takes time, but these raffles add a fun layer of anticipation that makes the effort worthwhile. Each new chance at a prize keeps me motivated to play more matches and stay active within the game.
At this point, I’ve completed most of the cards I’ve been chasing in the current set, but that doesn’t mean the excitement is fading. The team has already announced that Reward Card raffles are next, which means there’s even more to look forward to. I’ll definitely be participating as those kick off.
A Community Built on Engagement
Moments like these are what make Splinterlands special. The developers continue to find creative ways to reward players for engagement, and even after years in the ecosystem, I’m still finding reasons to stay invested—both emotionally and strategically.
Between the raffles, crafting systems, and new foil variants, there’s always something fresh to explore. And now, with my first Black Foil Arcane in hand, I’ve got another badge of honor to show for the journey.
Here’s to the next raffle—and maybe, just maybe, another bit of good fortune along the way!
