Magic: The Gathering – Dark Ascension

I

 think, if I’m not mistaken, the pre-release of the newest Magic set happened this past weekend.

You know what? Yes, it did. And it was a dark, dark day to be human.

As usual, when the Monday after the pre-release comes around, so too does this tutorial article. Today I’ll be discussing the new mechanics introduced in Dark Ascension. If you want to know more about the returning mechanics from Innistrad instead, you may read this article here.

And before I get ahead of myself, you can view the entire set, thankfully spoiled in all their pretty glory, by following this link.

The Planeswalking Tavern: Passion for Fire

This is a series of vignettes centred around a fictional Tavern in the Magic Multiverse.

 

WITHOUT a doubt, Zarin the Entertainer knew how to make an entrance. With his steed flying perfectly amongst the clouds against the bright blue midday sky, he turned the beast down towards The Planeswalking Tavern, plummeting himself and his ride in the direction of the building before guiding the flying animal away and to a side, and amidst the heavy breathing of the creature he could hear the gasps and expressions of wonder and terror from The Tavern’s patrons.

Dark Ascension

The Rafters of neighboring buildings scream vividly as the winds pick up and strain them against their struts.
Its barely 2 minutes past midnight and what was once a still night rapidly became turbulent. It is the night of the Hunter's Moon in Innistrad and the wards grow weaker as the night darkens around all Human Civilizations. The fires of Avacyn are beginning to gutter as the forces of darkness start overpowering humans civilization by civilization.

Planeswalkers, how would you fare in this plight? will you once again take up the side of the underdog? or would the temptations of greed and power pull you to support the darkness that surrounds Innistrad?
The choice is yours powerful ones : AT THE DARK ASCENSION PRERELEASE!!!
