DraftKings Reignmakers Football: How to Craft & Burn 2022 Players Cards for 2023 Set
The time has come to begin preparations for the 2023 Reignmakers Football season.
With the focus shifting toward the second season of Reignmakers Football, players will get their first chance to Craft and Burn cards from the 2022 Reignmakers Football season. In doing so, Reignmakers Football holders will take their first steps toward 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 contests.
Before getting to Crafting and Burning, holders of 2022 Player Cards can choose to retain these cards. There will be $100K in weekly prizes dedicated to contests gated exclusively for 2022 Player Card holders. Also, any prior-year cards in your collection accrue 10% of the Franchise Score value to that of the same set-rarity-player card from the predetermined value of that in-year collection; this point reduction for 2022 player cards will occur late Summer 2023.

Reignmakers Super Bowl Contest Recap
Looking for a breakdown of the major Big Game contests at each rarity tier?@Hunter_Himself has you covered https://t.co/XJnkkXGZ8V
— DraftKings Reignmakers (@DKReignmakers) February 13, 2023
The inaugural DraftKings Reignmakers season came to an end following the Super Bowl Showdown contests. Despite just one game and limited players to choose from, Reignmakers players still had tons of cash to compete for with juiced-up prize pools in each tier.
In an uptempo, back-and-forth game that came down to the wire, It was Patrick Mahomes and the Chiefs that came back from a halftime deficit to secure a second Super Bowl ring. Mahomes and Travis Kelce stacks paid off as they seem to always do, however, it was Jalen Hurts and his concentrated passing attack that ultimately won Reignmakers players all the money.
In fact, there was one lineup construction that won every contest this week. It consisted of Hurts and his season-high 45.16 DKFP, Kelce, A.J. Brown, and DeVonta Smith. On this slate more than ever, rostering low-serial cards was essential to overcome the teams with this chalky build. In addition, this was the best possible lineup that could have been built.
This slate also hosted the final Web3 Promo contests with a $5K Deadfellaz gated contest in the CORE tier and a $5K Moonbirds contest in the RARE tier. Entrants in the Deadfellaz contest competed for a $1,000 top prize and were required 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 No. 3380.
