It's that time again. We're getting a new set of cards to play with. We've recently run into some incentives to play modern over wild format. More specifically, you have to pay for a wild pass each season to play wild format. It's still free to play modern and the rewards are better in modern. With modern all we have to play with are Chaos Legion with the associated reward cards and mini set and Rebellion. Next week we get the reward cards that are attached to Rebellion. You can't buy the cards yet, you'll have to earn them. Also I haven't found a full spoiler yet, so I'll take you on my journey. It seems like every time Splinterlands introduces new cards it gets harder to find the spoilers.
Here's what we know
Just 5 days ago we got the initial PeakD post announcing that we would get a new set of reward cards here https://peakd.com/hive-13323/@splinterlands/reward-cards-update
This post introduces the new abilities being introduced, but none of the actual cards
Here's 4 new abilities
At the beginning of round 2 and each following round, gain a random ability from the enemy team. 25% chance to gain a random ability from an attacker when hit. Dispel removes one mimicked ability in the order they were gained. Debilitations, Targeting abilities, Ambush, Weapons Training, Flank, Reach, Charge, and Taunt cannot be mimicked.
Each round, restore 1/3 of max health to allied units, rounded down. Each time a unit is healed, its max health is reduced by 1.
If the target has 2 or less health after a successful attack, perform another attack against the same unit.
Always targets enemy units with Flying first regardless of abilities or rulesets. +2 damage if the target has Flying.
They're also introducing debilitations, here's 3 of those
Reapplies Burning at the beginning of each round. Burning has a 33% chance to spread to adjacent units at the beginning of each round, then all Burning units lose 2 health. Burning can be cleansed.
Deals 1 damage to all allied units at the beginning of each round.
Each round, Weary units have a 10% chance to become Exhausted. This chance increases by 10% every round, up to a maximum of 80%. Exhausted units skip their turn and cannot Retaliate.
I don't know yet if your cards will lose their debilitations in the back to basics ruleset. If someone does know, let me know or I guess we'll just find out next week.
The new reward cards set will have
12 common cards
12 rare cards
7 epic cards
12 Legendary cards
Here's our map to find them from the invitation to this week's social media challenge
Looks like all but 1 of them are on X (formerly Twitter). We'll start with @bronzedragon since he's the odd man out.
Here's Surly Drunk from this YouTube video
Here's Olivia of the Brook from @bitcoinflood on X
Here's Thanalorian Blade from @bulldog1205 on X. He's reposted stuff from a lot of folks, so I may have to go back to his page if I can't find some of them.
Here's Night Reaper from @aratbl on X
Here's Continuum Seer from @goldmatters on X
Here's Quilliun Legionary from @ducecrypto on X
Here's Gallicus from @dejota on X. @dejota also reposted a ton of stuff from the other ambassadors.
Here's Warborn Chieftain from @bjangles on X
Here's Meriput Slinger from @the10legmulti on X
Here's Drybone Megalodon from @momongja on X
Here's Sergeant Grauzral from @psilence on X. I've been enjoying his Soulkeep content on YouTube recently.
Here's Nimbledook Explorer from @morenow on X
Here's Ujurak Elder from @yonilkar on X
Here's Endless Gibbon from @sgt-dan on X
Here's Khazi Conjurer from @goldmatters on X. I actually found this one as a repost from @ank2020 on X
Here's Broken Earth Thug from @clove71 on X
Here's Halaran Huntress from the official Splinterlands page on X
Here's Arachne Weaver which I found as a repost from @dejota on X
Here's Death Ranger which I found as a repost from @dejota on X. @dejota credits @infidel1258 for this one, so I guess he must have posted it on his YouTube channel.
Here's Frigid Wolf which I found as a repost from @dejota who credits @bulldog1205 , but I thought it was a repost on his page.
Here's Dakota Cat which I found as a repost from @dejota who credits @goldmatters
I'm actually not so sure that this is a spoiler for the upcoming reward cards.
Here's Blackmoor Jinx which I found as a repost from @dejota on X
Here's Chaos Battle Mage which I found as a repost from @dejota on X
Here's Darth Squirrel from @bulldog1205 on X. This one rests with Dakota Cat as a card that I'm not too sure is part of the new reward cards release. I think it may actually be part of some sort of side project that he has going on.
Alright, so I guess that's not the full spoiler, but I spent all night looking and that's all I could find. That's only 24 cards that I found. I'm pretty sure that 22 of them are part of the new reward cards release. Not real confident in the other 2, so we're about halfway there with just a week to go before release. I guess it's nice that Splinterlands is trying to include people in the spoiler process, but I think this is an inefficient and frustrating way to go about it. I'm sorry for whichever of these I miscredited.
When someone finds a true full spoiler, please let me know in the comments.
I was too busy trying to find cards to evaluate their merits, plus these all seem to be maxed out and I've never been able to play with maxed out cards. Do you have any favorites? I will tell you that Halaran Huntress stood out as my favorite artwork, so shout out to whoever did that.
I hope this post has been helpful and informative. Thanks for reading and thanks for all the upvotes, reblogs, comments and follows. I'll see you in the game.

Nice post! I made a similar one too. Great minds think alike. Appreciate you sharing all of these with the ambassadors that shared them.
Your hunch is right about Dakota Cat. It was made as a joke after someone accidentally tagged Dakota on X instead of Dejota on X. The PFP of Dakota was a cat, so that's how they got the idea for the art.
Anyways, thanks for collecting these all in one place!
Thanks for sharing! - @mango-juice
