Hello guys,
welcome to my blog for another week of exciting splinterlands content. Today I am making an entry into the spl engagement challenge. A few days ago I made my entry into the splinterlands social media challenge where I spoke about the new set of abilities that have come with the Conclave arcana cards. I rated a few of the abilities and why I love some of them and hate some of them as well.
We are still on the topic of conclave arcana cards but today I will be talking about a new card which is coming to splinterlands and it seems to be creating a lot of buzz within the spl community. The name of this card is called the yaba's pickle. I know the name yaba will ring a bell and you're absolutely right, it is a card which features the CEO yabapmatt and for some time the community have wanted to see something which resonates with yabapmatt and it seems to be finally here.
The yaba's pickle card drop will not be like the pack sale or participating in a conflict to get your hands on this card. There are 3 ways to get your hands on this cards and I am sure they have all been made to include all players of this wonderful game.
The three ways to get this card are the special SPS Stakeholders Pickle Release; this is a specialty for sps stakers. the second is to purchase a pickle that comes with a GF Arcane Raffle ticket. The 3rd is to participate in the Black Foil Arcane Auction.
Now let me explain how this 3 processes will work. For the sps staking requirement, players will be required to have at least 1000 sps staked to qualify to purchase a card. What this means is that for each 1k sps staked it is equal to one yaba's pickle and you will pay 150 dec for the card. This also means that the more sps you have the more cards he can purchase. But you should also know that a snapshot of staked sps will be taken in the near future before you can qualify for this.
The second method is the gold foil arcana raffle. With this method it will be kicked off 7 days after the first sale has ended. Each Raffle ticket entered into this Raffle will receive a Regular Foil Yaba’s Pickle card, plus each Raffle entry will have a chance to win a Gold Foil Arcane card. Only 50 Gold Foil Arcane cards will be given away and since this is a raffle the more tickets you have the more you stand a chance to win a yaba's pickle. Only 1 card per day as well.
Crafting of a raffle ticket will cost 200 Aura, 10 Vouchers, and 200 DEC. Remember that there are no ticket limits so you can craft as many as you want and then enter with them. In a raffle game luck counts but also if you position yourself well enough you become lucky.
The third method is the Black Foil Arcane Auction. This will begin within 7 days after the Gold Raffle ends. Cards will be distributed from highest number first to lowest number last. Only 20 Black Foil Arcane cards will be auctioned and this will be done once every 25 hours. Auction points are what will be used in this bidding process. The auction points can be crafted and crafting it costs 1000 Aura, 50 Vouchers, and 500 DEC. You can craft as many as you want to use it in the bidding process. Once a player makes a bid his auction points are put into an escrow but once you are outbid then your points are returned to you.
