Introduction

It’s been a wild ride this week already — and next week looks just as packed!

The Conclave Arcana pre-sale officially went live! During the launch party, there was a Twitter Space set up to spread the hype and get the community together. Loved the vibe, lots of like-minded folks just buzzing with excitement.

Quick bit of feedback for the Splinterlands team: next time, maybe include the community a bit more — like having a Q&A through Discord or questions during the Twitter Space. That’d take the experience to the next level. Still, I really enjoyed waiting and celebrating the pre-sale launch together.

As planned for months, I went in and spent 800,000 DEC (yes, I triple-checked — it was DEC this time @captaindingus 😄). That got me 200 packs and even landed me a spot on the leaderboard!

With this position i would be very happy the top 250 will receive a title, which i can use on land... Lets see where i end up at the end of the sale... Hoping 🤞 on a spot within the 250.

Aura Building & Midnight Potions

Next day? Right back into it. Another packed week ahead, with Tuesday marking the release of the Aura Building!

I wanted to participate, so yeah… ended up spending a little more than I planned 😅 — but totally worth it to prep for midnight potions. Not going crazy making hundreds or thousands, just a small batch. My plan? Open my own packs using them. Like I said in my last post:

I love this mechanic — it's the first real time that LAND is actively involved in the core game loop. It might still be a small role, but it’s a start.

Earlier last week, I picked up some extra land, including a magical plot. Cleared it, bought some units, staked the DEC, and boom — up and running!
Guilty of buying the following unit to work my land:

Now that i place them all in one post i notice i might have a spending problem 🤣.

All my buildings are constructed — just need to wait for the rental period to end, and then I’ll be stabilizing production to be fully self-sufficient again. Not quite there yet, since a few units are still rented, but after this season ends, I’ll be back in balance.

What’s Next?

So what now? We wait to see what else the team has in store. During the @stever82 show, Dave dropped a few hints that even more land integrations are coming soon 👀

Also next week we might dive into the new abilities or all the new cards next week:

If you cannot wait here is already a nice collection post written by @rapidsps about the new units:

Sneak Peek

Also this week, I gave the land tool a little update — added a new Production / Consumption Overview!

It’s not fully finished yet — still want to add some history tracking — but the direction is clear. I’ll do a separate post on that soon, once I polish it up a bit more.

Let’s keep the hype rolling. Land is getting serious, and I’m all in.

Final Thoughts

It’s honestly wild to see how far the game has come. From simple card battles to full-blown strategy involving land, buildings, and now potions — Splinterlands is evolving fast and just started with the land journey.

This pre-sale is not just about packs, it was about being part of something bigger.

Every plot I build on, every potion I brew, feels like a step toward the next era of the game. Super hyped for what’s ahead. If you're sitting on the sidelines, now's the time to dig in — literally. Let’s build, battle, and brew our way into the future of Splinterlands.

See you all on the battlefield👋🧙‍♂️⚔️ or on the leaderboard 👊
