Wild Format
Wild Format uses all cards that Splinterlands has printed thus far. This includes Alpha, Beta, Untamed, Dice, Chaos Legion, Rebellion, and all Reward and Promo cards.
- Playing Wild Format requires the purchase of the Wild Pass each season.
-
Players of Wild Format need roughly double the staked SPS to maintain the same Reward Multiplier as before.
- Starter Cards are unavailable for play in Wild Format.
Modern Format
Modern will always contain cards from the two most recent sets. Those sets are Chaos Legion and Rebellion sets, and their associated Reward, Promo, and mini sets.
**Please note: Wild cards are not playable in the Modern format.
Sets
Previously, cards were grouped by Edition. The move to Modern and Wild Formats prompted the need to group cards by Set. Currently, there are 5 sets.
- Alpha Set: Alpha + Promo cards with Alpha borders
- Beta Set: Beta + Promo cards with Beta borders + Reward cards with Beta borders
- Untamed Set: Untamed + Promo cards with Untamed borders + Reward cards with Untamed borders + Dice edition
- Chaos Legion Set: Chaos Legion + Promo cards with Chaos Legion borders + Reward cards with Chaos Legion borders + Riftwatchers edition
- Rebellion Set: Rebellion + Promo cards with Rebellion borders + Reward cards with Rebellion borders.
**Use Card Market Filters at the top of the Cards and Market pages to sort cards by set
How Can I Tell Whether a Card is Modern or Wild at a Glance?
Compare the frames. Alpha, beta, and untamed frames are considered wild. Rebellion and Chaos Legion-style frames are considered Modern. Eventually, you will be able to tell whether a card has a Modern or Wild frame at a glance!
Our marketplace and items page allows you to sort by format as well.
How Do Rewards Work in Modern and Wild?
In Modern and Wild Formats, players battle to earn Glint, a currency that can be spent in the Rewards Shop. Wild players need about 50% more staked SPS to maintain the same Reward Multipliers. At the end of each season, players will earn Glint based on their final rating (RATING^3/300000). A 5,000 rating cap applies.
What About Gladiator Cards?
Gladiator cards are not included in a set as previously defined. They will only be usable in battles or brawls when the ruleset or conscript summoner is in play.
What About Tournaments?
Tournaments will move towards the Set model once the release is complete. Tournaments created before or during the transition time will adhere to the previous standard.
