Midnight Potions and Black Foils – A New Spark for Splinterlands Land

This is exactly the kind of utility-driven synergy many of us have been hoping for.
With the introduction of Midnight Potions, we now have a clearer sense of how land and resource production will start playing a pivotal role in the economy of Splinterlands—not just as a sink for DEC or as a passive yield farm, but as an active engine powering gameplay and collectability.
The real headline? Black Foils.
Even rarer than Gold Foils, these cards are said to come with increased benefits, making them a true trophy item for both collectors and power players. And what makes this chase all the more compelling is that Midnight Potions, which will be craftable via land, are a key component in the hunt for Black Foils. The community thrives on collecting and optimizing, so you can be sure the demand for these potions will be very real.
It’s encouraging to see Splinterlands lean into this dynamic. The potion system, long a foundational part of the pack opening experience, is getting a fresh layer of depth. If these Midnight Potions enhance the value of packs and increase the chance of pulling fully maxed cards or ultra-rare foils, it transforms them into must-haves—especially in a game where many players chase complete sets and high-utility cards.
Of course, there’s still mystery ahead, especially around the resource costs involved. We know a permit will be required to build the worksite that produces Midnight Potions, and that it will tap into Research, one of the more enigmatic components of land so far. This finally gives Research a short-term, tangible use case, breaking from the long wait for the elusive Secret of Praetoria.
And that might be the most exciting part for me personally.
Like many landholders, I’ve spent a lot of time feeling like my plots were full of untapped potential. There’s been hope, sure, but not much action—until now. Seeing Research finally become useful, and knowing that my land can help fuel the creation of potions tied to something as collectible and powerful as Black Foils, gives me real confidence that my investment in land wasn’t in vain.
The upcoming set, the added layers of utility, and the looming potion economy all point to a turning point. Splinterlands is beginning to connect the dots between its core systems, and that’s exactly what’s needed to deepen engagement and boost value across the board.
Midnight Potions may just be the beginning, but it feels like we’re about to enter a new era for land—and I, for one, am ready to get to work.
