Full Ascension set required for this expansion
Ascension: Gift of the Elements is the eleventh set in the Ascension series. This set introduces two new mechanisms: infest and empower. Infest allows you to mess with an opponent's deck, forcing them to draw useless cards. This gameplay feature can slow down a player who jumps out early and introduces a strategic element not seen in previous sets. Players can counter this infestation through Empower cards. When the player acquires an Empower card, they may banish a card played that turn (i.e., using the card, then eliminating it). This added flexibility creates a lasting impact in each game.
Note: Ascension Center Deck Sets include every center deck card from the original set, along with unique card types, rules, and components needed to play. However, these sets do not include starting cards & the always available cards, honor tokens, a game board, or the original box and therefore require an appropriate base set which contain those necessary game components.
