The Great Card Game ‘Ascension’ Getting Another Expansion Called ‘Gift of the Elements’ – Touch Arcade

Ascension [Free] is one of the best deckbuilding games on the App Store, and a game I've personally played for many, many hours, and now it's getting ready to get another expansion called Gift of the Elements. Even though the announcement is for the physical version of the expansion, all Ascension's expansions end up in the digital version of the game too. Gift of the Elements is a gift of sorts to fans of the game because it brings back the two most-requested game mechanics from earlier expansions. The first one is Events, first introduced all the way back in Storm of Souls. Events have an immediate impact on all players the moment they're revealed in the center row. The new Events will be more impactful than the original ones.

The expansion is also bringing back Transform; events aren't considered to be in the center row this time around, so you'll have to pay the transform cost to acquire them. Gift of the Elements is also adding two new mechanics to the game; Infest allows you to force your opponent to draw useless Monsters instead of their strong cards, and Empower allow you to banish a player card when you acquire it, the first time that the game allows you to banish a played card. Plenty of new ideas in a game that hasn't stopped expanding.
