Good day to all of the Splinterlands community and interested new players. Today, we will explore the Frontier Format, a fascinating new development in the Splinterlands system. In addition to giving competitive play a new twist, this format is a great starting point for novice players who are interested to learn the game's mechanics, earning rewards, and developing a strong deck of cards through active gameplay.
My blog today is related to Splinterlands Community Engagement Challenge: Welcome to the Frontier! I participated discusses a number of important topics related to the new format, such as the definition of the Frontier Format, the operation of the ranking system, the possibility of earning rewards and earnings, and the significance of Foundation cards, particularly in Modern Format battles. It also emphasises how important it is to begin in Campaign Mode, particularly for novice players who want to gradually transition into competitive play and develop a sizable collection.
What is the Frontier Format?
The use of Foundation Set cards is just one aspect of the recently added Frontier Format game mode in Splinterlands. The main way to obtain these cards is by finishing Book 1: Waur Medge Academy, which is the new Campaign Mode. It also means that players who have completed the campaign and built up these new, foundation cards are the only ones able to access Frontier Format. Only Foundation cards are permitted in this format, which aims to provide a fair and accessible friendly competition by levelling the playing field for both novices and experts.
Frontier limits card selection to Foundation cards only, in contrast to other game modes, where a large variety of cards from various sets can be used. Because players are forced to play with a smaller pool of cards, this restriction encourages creativity and strategic planning. Because the Foundation cards can now be purchased or traded on the market, it also guarantees that everyone has an equal opportunity to assemble a strong lineup.
Ranking System in Frontier Format
Frontier Format's optimised ranking system, which only has Bronze, Silver, and Gold leagues, is one of its unique advantages. For newer players, the Frontier ranking system offers a more manageable progression path than the Modern and Wild formats, which go all the way to Champion league.
Newer players may feel less intimidated by maxed-out cards and elite players in other formats thanks to this targeted league structure. The environment in Frontier is more skill-based and strategic because players compete against one another using the same kind of limited deck, and everyone starts from scratch.
If you’re interested in seeing more about how the Frontier Format plays out in real battles, I invite you to check out another one of my blog posts where I share my experience using a magic-based strategy in the lower leagues. The post showcases a practical example of card synergy and battle planning, especially with the use of water element cards in a magic-focused approach. You can read it here: Frontier Format: Water’s Magic Strategy vs a Tank of Resistance Magic. It’s a great companion read if you’re looking to understand how to build a strong lineup using Foundation cards in this exciting new format.
Rewards and Earning Potential
The chance to earn Foundation Chests is one of the main rewards for competing in the Frontier Format. Foundation cards, which strengthen your deck and enable you to further build your lineups for the coming matches, are found in these chests.
The Frontier Format Daily Card Draw system offers players regular opportunities to add to their Foundation collection simply by remaining active, in addition to daily and season rewards. The function they serve in constructing your base deck cannot be overrated, even though the rewards are currently restricted to cards and potions. For novice players who want to construct a competitive deck without using DEC or credits, these free rewards—obtained solely through gameplay are especially beneficial.
Why Foundation Cards Are Valuable for Modern Format
Foundation cards serve a purpose outside of Frontier battles, despite being new-leveled cards, which means they can be traded or transferred, but it is a fresh start for both novice and expert. After being obtained, Foundation cards can be used in the Modern Format, which allows players to compete in ranked matches outside of Frontier.
Being transferable and sell in the market, which is good since it is profitable also, and often used to combine a limited number of cards, these cards are balanced and offer good utility in a variety of rule sets. When used with efficient summoners and a thorough understanding of in-game mechanics, Foundation cards can compete with cards from other sets if they are strategically planned and synergized.
This makes the Campaign to Frontier to Modern progression an excellent path for new players: learn in Campaign Mode, test your skills and earn in Frontier, and expand into broader ranked play in Modern with a battle-tested, foundational deck.
Why You Players Should Start with Campaign Mode
The large number of cards, complex synergies, and different card levels in Modern or Wild formats can be intimidating for novice players. In along with providing players with useful Foundation cards that are necessary in both Frontier and Modern formats, Campaign Mode provides a well-organized, chapter-based tutorial that explains the fundamental gameplay mechanics.
Players get a full starter deck composed of Foundation cards after finishing Book 1: Waur Medge Academy. These are complete cards that can be used in ranked play; they are not merely practice cards. Players are also better prepared for actual PvP battles by learning positioning, skills, and team composition in a controlled setting.
A taste of Splinterlands lore can also be found in Campaign Mode, which draws players into the game's narrative and fosters a deeper bond with the setting they're fighting in.
A Big Thanks! For supporting me, being here, and coming this far. I hope this strategy assists you with some of your battles with these rule sets in modern format conclave and rebellion sets.
Still catching up and rating up, adapting this new card set Conclave Arcana and Rebellion modern format.
