Splinterlands weekly release brings three new rulesets and a Visions of Verico Alterations renewal pre-sale - eGamers.io
Splinterlands has introduced three new battle rulesets and a renewal pre-sale for the Visions of Verico collection in its Nov. 10 weekly release.
Splinterlands, a digital collectible card game, has shipped three new battle rulesets and a renewal pre-sale for the Visions of Verico collection in its latest weekly release.
The update, detailed in official release notes, brings Chain Reaction, Live and Let Die, and Plague Rot to the game's combat system.
The game's official account announced the changes on X, highlighting the new rulesets along with an important Alterations Renewal Pre-sale for Visions of Verico collectors.
New battle rulesets
Chain Reaction is a new rule that punishes players for bunching their units together. When a unit dies, the adjacent units each take 2 physical damage.
Live and Let Die shuts down all revival effects. When this rule is in play, abilities like Rebirth, Resurgence, Resurrect, and Soul Siphon do not work.
Plague Rot turns healing abilities into a drawback. With this rule active, Life Leech and Scavenger reduce permanent Health instead of gaining it.
Visions of Verico renewal pre-sale
Owners of the Visions of Verico collection can use the renewal pre-sale to add five years to their alteration drops. The offer costs 10,000 Credits or DEC, or 10 USDC.
The pre-sale is available until the end of the year. Once it closes, the price to extend Alteration claims past August 2027 will increase, though the release notes do not name the new price.
Alteration is a land ability that arrived with Visions of Verico. It grants a monthly skin airdrop plus a chance at rare premium skins, beginning Aug. 18, 2026.
Modern and matchmaking adjustments
Extra edition cards are no longer counted against Modern bracket minimum level caps. This change applies to the Modern gameplay adjustments.
The odds of each mana range have also changed. Low-mana matches went from a 20% chance to 25%, while high-mana matches dropped from 20% to 15%.
The team also fixed a bug where Visions of Verico cards could incorrectly be chosen for Survival cooldowns on a surrender. Mistwing also picks up Snare at max level, a feature it lacked until this release.
Non-Card Market fixes
Skins account for most of the market changes. Players can now turn several skins on or off in one go from the Non-Card Market display.
The display now shows all sets by default, where it used to show Modern sets only. The notification after a skin purchase now links to the card details page.
Removing a skin listing from the market now refreshes the owned-skins list without the player reloading the browser. Community-made stickers were added in the Artisan Quarter, and a display bug was fixed for the Exemplar card.
