It is the Age of Man, a time without gods or magic. After a thousand years of peace and prosperity, the barrier that separates your world from the multiverse has been broken, and demonic forces threaten to destroy your home. But not all hope is lost: the benevolent gods of the Old Realms have also returned, bringing with them mighty heroes and powerful constructs that are yours to command.

Ascension is a fast paced, deck-building game designed by Magic Pro Tour champions Justin Gary, Rob Dougherty and Brian Kible. It offers a dynamic play experience where players have to react and adjust their strategy accordingly. Players spend Runes to acquire more powerful cards for their deck.

Players can buy:

Heroes - that fight in battle or provide other benefits

Constructs - devices, weapons or other items that stay in play long after your turn

Monsters - the main beasts for fighting in battle

In Ascension there are 4 factions, with each faction providing different aspects:

Lifebound: creatures from nature

Mechana: machines, robots and scientists

Void: dark beings from the netherworld

Enlightened: monks, trained in body and spirit
