After an incredible week of strategy, creativity, and some seriously broken combos, it’s finally time to reveal the winners of the Best Card Combo Contest!
First off—huge shoutout to everyone who participated. The level of effort, testing, and thought behind these entries made judging way harder than expected… which is exactly what we like to see 🔥
This entry checked every single box—power, synergy, creativity, and real in-game execution.
Not only was the combo itself incredibly strong, but the effort put into showcasing it took things to another level entirely.

Watching this lineup in action—especially taking down Nate—made it very clear… this wasn’t just theory. This combo delivers.
💬 Judge’s Note:
“This combo feels unfair in the best way possible. Every piece has a purpose, and the execution was next level.”
A seriously impressive submission that proved you don’t need a massive collection to build something dangerous.
This combo stood out for doing a lot with a little—maximizing value from a limited deck while still creating a powerful, cohesive strategy.

💬 Judge’s Note:
“An extremely efficient and well-thought-out combo. This is how you squeeze every ounce of power out of your cards.”
Featuring the Lorkus / Grimbardun / Baron / Kelan / Arachne combo—this one is, quite simply, one of the most OP setups in the game right now.
And the best part? It was executed cleanly and effectively.

💬 Judge’s Note:
“This combo is just straight-up scary. When it gets going, it’s incredibly hard to stop.”
There were too many strong entries to ignore, but these two definitely deserve recognition:
👉 @r1s2g3/splinterlands-community-challenge-and-my
👉 @artofkylin/my-favorite-op-loadout--elaise-slade-and-friends
Both brought unique ideas and strong execution that made them stand out from the crowd 👏
All rewards will be sent out shortly, so keep an eye on your accounts 👀
The creativity in this contest did not go unnoticed. The level of strategy we saw here proves one thing:
The meta is only as limited as the players building it.
And just to say what a lot of people are already thinking…
The bar has officially been raised.
👀 What’s Next?
More community challenges are already in the works—
and we’re keeping the momentum going.
(And yes… we’re keeping them where people actually show up 😉)
Thanks again to everyone who participated—you’re what makes these contests worth running.
