Introduction to Ascension

This cube consists of several smaller sets and the tournament structure is a bit different from a normal draft session.

Here is how the tournament works:

• Each player gets an Evolving Wilds.
• A normal draft for 8 players using this list. Deck construction.
• Game 1
• Each player gains new cards to add to their existing card pool. The new cards are higher power level. Players may sideboard.
• Game 2.
• Each player gains new cards to add to their existing card pool. The new cards are higher power level. Players may sideboard.
• Game 3
• etc.
• etc.

Booster packs are seeded. Each pack contains:
2 rares
4 uncommons
8 commons

Restrictions for the starter set (Ascension)
No non-hybrid multicolored cards
No shuffling
No planeswalkers
Low complexity cards

Here is how players gain new cards:

• 20 cards are given to each player at random from the corresponding level the player is at.
• 100 cards are placed face up on the table. Lowest ranked player first picks a card. Second lowest ranked player picks a card. etc. etc. until all players have picked. Repeat this full cycle five times. (8x5 = 40 picks total)

Some of the ideas behind this cube is:

• Everyone are constantly on an even playing field. Your cards get better simultanous with your opponent's.
• New things are fun. Your deck evolves over time. Each new game is exciting. You might have the same deck with a few upgrades. You might have switches out a lot.
• The player who got a perfect draft, is rewarded for a brief period of time. But they're not auto-winning the tournament because the new cards everyone will get are of a higher tier than the original perfectly drafted deck.
