The time has come to begin preparations for the 2023 Reignmakers Football season.

With the focus shifting towards the second season of Reignmakers Football, players will have their first chance to create and burn cards from the 2022 Reignmakers Football season. In doing so, Reignmakers Football holders will take their first steps towards building their 2023 Player Card collection, which they can use to compete for their share of the $1 million in weekly prizes that will be dedicated to 2023 Player Card competitions.

Before going to Crafting and Burning, holders of 2022 player cards can choose to keep those cards. There will be $100,000 in weekly prizes dedicated to competitions exclusively for 2022 player card holders. Any previous year’s cards in your collection also accrue 10% of the franchise point value of the same set rarity player card value from the predetermined value of the same year’s collection; this point reduction for 2022 player cards will occur in late summer 2023.

DraftKings is offering a series of Reignmakers UFC pack breaks, where users will be able to get fighter cards from Genesis packs. Go here for all the details of these breaks, which will be streamed with Chris Costa on DraftKing’s YouTube Channel Thursday 16 February 2023.

After all packs from a given break are opened, players will receive fighter cards through one four-round hose pull. (The No. 1 pick in the first round will be the last pick in the second round, and the order will continue to alternate in that pattern until all fighter cards are selected.) Users must win an auction for a given spot in the draft to get access.

UFC Fight Night: Santos vs Blanchfield – 2.18.23 marks the next UFC Fight Night event for Reignmakers UFC. Starting Tuesday, January 14, 2023, users will be able to choose between CORE, RARE, ELITE, LEGENDARY and REIGNMAKER tier competitions, which will apply to all Reignmaker UFC events going forward.

Going forward, all UFC Fight Night Event Packs will come in one SKU. Unlike the UFC 281 and UFC 282 Event Packs, the 2023 UFC Fight Night Packs will contain five (5) Fighter Game Cards with one guaranteed RARE+ card. The package pool will include all participating fighters in the event and cards of all rarities. Each of the fighters scheduled to fight at UFC Fight Night: Santos vs Blanchfield – 2.18.23 will be included in the package pool with a supply of 1200 CORE tier Fighter Game Cards, 300 RARE tier Fighter Game Cards, 75 ELITE tier Fighter Game Cards, 15 LEGENDARY tier Fighter Game Cards and 1 REIGNMAKER tier Fighter Game Card.

This week, DraftKings Reignmakers is offering $125,000 in prizes between the five levels of competition: CORE, RARE, ELITE, LEGENDARY and REIGNMAKER.

All players from DraftKings’ Heatwave, UFC 281, UFC 282 and Genesis sets are eligible to compete in these contests.

It’s worth noting that the Genesis Standard, Genesis Premium, and Genesis CORE add-on packages are still available for purchase. These packs feature top UFC fighters and a random breakdown of most of the fighters entering the Octagon this weekend.

UFC Fight Night: Jessica Andrade vs. Erin Blanchfield event set sold out.

Who doesn’t love a good package tour? Well, with Reignmaker’s UFC in full swing, DraftKings is hosting a series of 4 breaks that will allow users to strengthen their collection. Each pack break will consist of opening 8 packs from the DraftKings UFC Genesis set (Standard and Premium). Each pack contains 5 Reignmakers UFC fighter cards.

The 4 breaks start at DraftKing’s YouTube Channel Thursday 9 February 2023, from 15:00 Eastern Prevailing Time (“ET”). For each break, Chris Costa will open 8 Genesis packs. That’s a total of 32 packs and 160 Reignmakers UFC fighter cards! Reignmaker’s UFC fighter cards that are opened during pack breaks will then be selected by users through a snake draft.

Reignmakers UFC is officially on and firing on all cylinders! Now that the “Weigh-In” phase is over, our attention has shifted to the Genesis Packs release, which is January 6th.

The first DraftKings Reignmakers season ended after the Super Bowl Showdown contests. Despite only having one game and limited players to choose from, Reignmakers players still had tons of cash to compete for with juicy prize pools in each tier.

In an up-tempo, back-and-forth game that came down to the wire, it was Patrick Mahomes and the Chiefs who came back from a halftime deficit to secure a second Super Bowl ring. Mahomes and Travis Kelce stacks paid off as they always seem to do, but it was Jalen Hurts and his concentrated passing attack that ultimately won the Reignmakers all the money.

In fact, it was a lineup construction that won every contest this week. It consisted of Hurts and his season-high 45.16 DKFP, Kelce, AJ Brown and DeVonta Smith. On this board, more than ever, making cards with low series was crucial to overcome the teams with this chalky build. In addition, this was the best possible lineup that could have been built.

This list also hosted the last Web3 Promo contests with a $5K Deadfellaz gated contest in the CORE tier and a $5K Moonbirds contest in the RARE tier. Contestants in the Deadfellaz contest competed for a top prize of $1,000 and had to have at least one Deadfellaz-themed card in their portfolio to enter. The Moonbirds contest required RARE cards to enter, and the top finisher was awarded Moonbird #3380.
