📖 Reckoning
Fifteen Legends. One Community. Countless Stories
The history of Praetoria has never belonged solely to kings, conquerors or the great armies that march beneath their banners.
It belongs just as much to those who build, question, protect, challenge and endure.
Across the Splinterlands, fifteen unlikely figures have carved their own paths through a world shaped by conflict and consequence. Some seek knowledge. Others pursue justice, opportunity or redemption. Some carry the burdens of the past, while others are determined to build something better.
None are without flaws. None are without purpose.
And each has a story worth telling.
Reckoning is a collection of fifteen original characters created in tribute to members of the Splinterlands community whose passion, creativity and contributions have helped shape the world we share.
Each character draws inspiration from a community member while possessing a distinct identity, history and place within Praetoria. Their stories are not retellings of real lives, but imaginative celebrations of the people who continue to make Splinterlands more than just a game.
Meet the Legends of Reckoning

Gathren Stillbough — Inspired by Gathering, a thoughtful treefolk trader who understands the value of everything he carries, but knows that some things are worth more than their price.
Sejd Stonewright — Inspired by Shade, a steadfast stone construct whose greatest strength lies not in what he can destroy, but in what he can repair and preserve.

MacBlackthorn Bane — Inspired by Clove, a formidable hunter accompanied by two loyal hellhounds, Morrow and Brann.
Vorrak, the Measured — Inspired by Aftersound, a disciplined orc strategist whose patience and foresight are his greatest weapons.
Dajoran Tidekeeper — Inspired by Dejota, a devoted guardian of memories and lives whose compassion is tested by difficult sacrifices.
Talren the Unrecorded — Inspired by Tales, an ancient undead prisoner determined to reclaim a history deliberately erased.
Vugrak the Unerring — Inspired by Vugtis, a calculating orc warrior whose precision is matched by his determination to protect what matters.
Vaelor the Unfinished — Inspired by LevelUpLife, a determined Drakoshan whose pursuit of improvement is forged through perseverance.

⚔️ Three New Abilities Enter the Battlefield!
Punish high-health enemies, spread a dangerous affliction, and attack around Taunt. These three new abilities open up fresh ways to build your lineup.
💥 Reckoning
Deals 2x damage to enemies with 15–19 max health, 3x damage to enemies with 20–24 max health, and 4x damage to enemies with 25+ max health.
Big health cards? Big trouble! Reckoning turns an enemy's greatest strength into a potential weakness.
☠️ Necrosis
When this unit damages an enemy with a melee, ranged, magic, or Armored Strike attack, apply Necrosis. At the beginning of round 2 and each following round, a unit with Necrosis has a 50% chance to spread it to each adjacent ally. Whenever a unit with Necrosis has its max health reduced, it takes 1 damage.
One infected unit could become an entire team's problem. Pair Necrosis with strategies that reduce maximum health to put that affliction to work.
🎯 Unbaited
Ignores Taunt when selecting attack targets.
Taunt won't force these attackers off their intended targets. We can't wait to see the lineups you build around that freedom!
🎟️ Choose Your Reckoning Tier
Players can participate in Reckoning through three weekly tiers, each offering packs, Fortune Draw eligibility, and additional benefits.
| Tier 1 | Tier 2 | Tier 3 | |
|---|---|---|---|
| Weekly DEC Cost | 2,000 | 6,000 | 12,000 |
| Reckoning Packs | 1 | 3 | 6 |
| Wednesday Glint Bonus Per Win | — | +500 | +1,000 |
| Energy Well Weekly Bonus | — | — | +25 |
| Fortune Draw Access | Yes | Yes | Yes |
Every tier includes Fortune Draw participation, provided the player meets the applicable league and SPS staking requirements.
Choose the tier that suits your weekly play and collecting goals. Tier 3’s +25 Energy Well benefit increases your capacity; it does not grant 25 extra energy.
Built for the grind. Get your deck ready for Tier 3.
Six weekly packs, +1,000 Glint per Wednesday win, and more Energy Well capacity for a busy week of battles.
🔒 Pre-Pay: Lock In Your Reckoning Rewards for 52 Weeks
Want to secure your packs for the entire Reckoning season?
The 7-day Pre-Pay Period begins November 24 at 8 PM ET (November 25, 01:00 UTC)
Pre-Pay participants pay the full amount upfront and receive their chosen weekly pack allocation throughout the Reckoning distribution period.
| Pre-Pay Tier | Total Packs | 52-Week Cost |
|---|---|---|
| Tier 1 | 52 | 104,000 DEC |
| Tier 2 | 156 | 312,000 DEC |
| Tier 3 | 312 | 624,000 DEC |
Pre-Pay participants are guaranteed their committed Reckoning packs for the entire 52-week period, even if the packs available through General Distribution sell out.
Up to 103,400 Reckoning packs will be available across the full 52-week program: up to 51,700 through Pre-Pay, plus a separate 51,700 through General Distribution. These are total program allocations, not weekly amounts. The final Regular Foil mint quantities will reflect the actual number of pre-paid packs plus the General Distribution allocation.
Pre-pay also includes a limited-edition collectible bonus.
🎨 Exclusive Reckoning Skin Packs!
Collectors, this one's for you!
Pre-Pay participants will also receive special 3-skin packs, featuring collectible skins created specifically for the Reckoning cards.
Four unique skin collections are planned:
| Skin Collection | Copies Per Skin |
|---|---|
| Voices of Praetoria | 5 |
| Whittleborn | 20 |
| Outlaws | 50 |
| Arabian Knights | 124 |
Each collection features skins for all 15 Reckoning cards, with different levels of scarcity.
That's 2,985 skins across just 995 three-skin packs!
There is no duplicate skin protection. Duplicate pulls are possible; trading is part of the collecting experience.
Pre-Pay Skin Rewards
- Tier 1: 1 three-skin pack
- Tier 2: 3 three-skin packs
- Tier 3: 6 three-skin packs
Bonus Chance for Pre-Pay Participants!
If any of the 995 skin packs remain unclaimed after the Pre-Pay Period, those remaining packs will be distributed through an additional draw exclusively for Pre-Pay purchasers.
With only five copies of each Voices of Praetoria skin, collectors will have some exceptionally scarce artwork to chase.
✨ Fortune Draws: A New Collection to Chase

The first Reckoning Fortune Draw begins December 18!
🎲 Didn't Win? Meet LEO & LEEROY!
You enter the draw, check the results... and come up empty. The Unluckiest Longshot's cousins have your back!
Leo and Leeroy Longshot are bringing the Longshot Brothers Second Chance Draw to Praetoria, replacing the current Unluckiest Longshot event.
Double the Trouble. Twice the Fun.
Leo and Leeroy aren't just bringing another chance to win—they're bringing a little Longshot mischief to the battlefield! With oversized boomerangs, big personalities, and an appetite for trouble, these brothers are ready to make an entrance.
We can't wait for you to put them in the same lineup, try out your own combinations, and see what happens when the Longshot brothers take the field together.
Their stats and abilities will be revealed soon. Until then, start thinking about their future teammates and get your deck ready. There's plenty of fun ahead!
How the Second Chance Draw Works
Every week, the main Reckoning Fortune Draw takes place first.
- No prize from either main-draw bucket? Your entries automatically carry into the following day's Second Chance Draw.
- Won a main-draw prize? You are not eligible for that week's Second Chance Draw.
- Two separate brother buckets: eligible players can win up to one Leo prize and one Leeroy prize per week.
Longshot Brothers Prize Pools
Leo and Leeroy are both Common cards. The foil-by-foil supply below covers the full 52-week event for each brother.
| Foil | Leo (Common) | Leeroy (Common) |
|---|---|---|
| Regular Foil | 30,000 | 30,000 |
| Gold Foil | 800 | 800 |
| Black Foil | 15 | 15 |
| Gold Foil Arcane | 10 | 10 |
| Black Foil Arcane | 5 | 5 |
| Total | 30,830 | 30,830 |
That's an incredible 61,660 Leo and Leeroy prizes across the 52-week event!
Here's how the weekly distribution works:
- Weeks 1–51: 592 prizes from Leo's bucket and 592 from Leeroy's bucket, totaling 1,184 prizes per week.
- Week 52: 638 prizes from each bucket, totaling 1,276 prizes in the final draw.
The first Longshot Brothers Second Chance Draw takes place December 19, one day after the first Reckoning Fortune Draw.
One more shot at a reward. Two brothers worth chasing.
📦 What Happens If Reckoning Packs Sell Out?
The separate 51,700-pack General Distribution allocation is available across the program, in addition to the packs secured during Pre-Pay.
If the General Distribution packs sell out before the end of the 52-week program, the weekly Fortune Draws will continue!
At that point, Tier 2 and Tier 3 will no longer be available through General Distribution, and players will still be able to participate through a 2,000 DEC Tier 1 Fortune Draw Pass.
Instead of receiving a Reckoning pack, players purchasing this pass will receive 20,000 Glint, along with their Fortune Draw participation.
Pre-Pay commitments will remain protected, ensuring those players continue receiving their guaranteed packs throughout the full program.
🌍 A Tribute to the Community
Every great fantasy world is built upon stories. But the worlds that truly endure are sustained by the people who believe in them.
Reckoning celebrates those people.
From creators and competitors to builders, thinkers, supporters and storytellers, the Splinterlands community has long been shaped by individuals willing to contribute something of themselves.
These fifteen original characters are a tribute to that spirit.
They are not intended to portray the community members who inspired them, nor are their fictional actions reflections of those individuals. Instead, each character offers an imaginative nod to a familiar name, a distinctive personality or a contribution that deserves recognition.
Their adventures belong to Praetoria.
The appreciation behind them belongs to the community.
We love this community, and we're grateful to be building and sharing these experiences with players across the globe. Thank you for your ideas, your support, and the stories we get to create together.
Fifteen original characters. Fifteen community inspirations. One shared legacy.
This is Reckoning.
🔥 The Chase Continues!
November 24 marks the beginning of Reckoning.
Choose your tier, get your DEC ready, and start planning your next lineup. Reckoning and the Longshot brothers are on the way.
Fun times ahead, Battle Mages. See you in Praetoria!
The Chase Is Real. 🔥
VONAK!
❓ Quick Questions
Do I have to pre-pay to participate?
No. Pre-pay commits you to 52 weeks of packs upfront. Weekly participation is also available through General Distribution while packs remain available.
Are Reckoning cards soulbound?
The packs are soulbound; the cards inside are not. Once opened, those cards can be collected, traded, and used in the Splinterlands ecosystem.
Does pre-pay guarantee a Fortune Draw prize?
No. Pre-pay guarantees your committed pack allocation, not a draw win. Fortune Draw participation remains subject to the applicable league and SPS staking requirements.
Do I need to enter the Second Chance Draw separately, and can I win both brothers?
No separate entry is needed. If you win no prize in either main Fortune Draw bucket, your entries carry forward automatically. You can win up to one Leo prize and one Leeroy prize that week. Any main-draw prize makes you ineligible for that week's Second Chance Draw.
Does Tier 3 give me 25 extra energy?
No. It increases your Energy Well capacity by 25 for the week.
Can a skin pack contain duplicates?
Yes. There is no duplicate skin protection.
When will we see the cards and the brothers' stats?
Reckoning card reveals are coming in different ways over the next week. Leo and Leeroy's stats and abilities will be revealed soon, too!
