Hello Splintermates, Praetorian and Hiveans,

Yabaniu's factory is open now. The general sale is now on shop store. It is time to get some. Three phases, three chances to get your mitts on the sweetest pickle in Praetoria.

WHAT IS YABA'S PICKLE

Yabanius the Architect spent five years in the darkness of the Deep. He held the rift shut through sheer force of will. Stared down a god. And when he returned and the silence got too loud He played with his pickle.
Imbued with questionable magic, unsettling eyes, and a robe suspiciously similar to Yabanius’s own, Yaba’s Pickle is a fully functional golem and a fully unhinged collectible.

Yaba's pickle is a new water promo card which is a playful homage to co-founder @yabapmatt. Which mean it is like a memecoin in the NFT world . The idea come or start from community members having fun and to funly celebrate splinterlands existence and give honor to the splinterlands co-founder. If this will be a success we will be surprise with another one...What is the next one if you think?

YABA'S PICKLE STATS

Don’t let its looks fool you. No attack? No problem. That just means you train it your way. And with Dodge, Shield, Slow, and Heal, it doesn’t need to dish out pain. It just needs to outlast, outmaneuver, and outlive.Because it’s one thing to beat your opponent. But it’s something else entirely to beat them with a pickle.

Yaba's pickle is a 4 mana water promo card. At maxed level. It has no melee, no magic and no ranged attack. To maximize its potential is to play with weapons training. Yaba's pickle also have 4 armor, 7 heealth and 2 speed. It has also 4 abilities;

1. Dodge - has an increased chance of evading melee or ranged attacks.
2. Shield - reduced damage from melee and ranged attacks
3. Slow - minus 1 speed to all enemy units
4. Heal - restores a portion of the monster's health each round

HOW TO PARTICIPATE :

PHASE 1 - GENERAL SALE - JUNE 24TH

For thirty glorious days, you can grab Yaba’s Pickle for a price even the Conclave Arcana can’t suppress - 150 DEC or Credits per card.
How many can you buy? That depends on how much SPS you had staked on 6/17/2025.*
Every 1,000 SPS staked = 1 pickle card. Simple math. Complicated emotions.
Want to max it out? Combine 400 copies to unlock its full potential. Nothing says battlefield dominance like a robe-wrapped pickle with absolutely no weapon. Each card has a 2% chance to be Gold Foil, polished to perfection, and a 0.025% chance to be Black Foil—the pinnacle of magical improvisation, according to Yabanius. Tactical espionage, he says. Then it starts to dance.
Double your odds of landing a Gold Foil or Black Foil by using an Alchemy Potion or Midnight Potion, respectively.

MY PRESALE PARTICIPATION:

Bought 24 cards with alchemy potion and midnight potion and ended up having a gold foil . What did you get?

WHERE TO BUY :

You can buy this in splinterland website itself . Upon logging in you can to shop then click pickle , where the yabanius pickle factory displayed.

PHASE 2 - GOLD FOIL ARCANE FORTUNE DRAW - JULY 29TH

More brine, more shine! Five days after the General Sale ends, we’ll kick off 50 Fortune Draws, one every 24 hours. After each, a name is drawn. The winner walks away with an exclusive Gold Foil Arcane Yaba’s Pickle—fancier, rarer, and a lot more smug—distributed highest mint-number first to lowest mint-number last.
Didn’t win? You still score a Regular Foil Yaba’s Pickle for every entry made. Win or lose, you pickle something up.
To enter, you’ll need Fortune Tickets, which are crafted by land owners and sold on the market.

PHASE 3 - BLACK FOIL ARCANE AUCTION - SEPTEMBER 23RD

Six days after the Gold Foil Arcane Fortune Draws end, things get dark. Real dark. We’re talking Black Foil Arcane dark.
This is where the serious collectors come out to play. With a black pickle.
20 auctions, 25 hours each. The rarest pickle of them all—only 20 Black Foil Arcane Yaba’s Pickles will ever exist. And each goes to the highest bidder.
Place your bid using Auction Marks, crafted by land owners and sold on the market. Each auction uses proxy-style bidding: set your max bid and walk away. The system will raise your bid only when needed to keep you in the lead. But be careful. Play it too safe, and your max bid might not be enough. Then you’ll ferment in regret every time you face one in battle and think That could’ve been mine.
This is it. The final phase. Are you ready for the most unreasonably exclusive pickle ever conjured? It’s no joke.
It’s kind of a joke.
But you’ll be the one laughing as you slap your opponent in the face with your Black Foil Arcane pickle.

MY THOUGHTS :

Excited to use this card on the battle. Even with no attack i am sure that at maxed level this can win against an opponent . It is like those battle that frustrates you win you loss and your enemy didn't even attack. I believe a legendary summoner might be designed to synergize perfectly on this.

....HAVE A NICE DAY .....
