Probably the second best named card next to hatefurnace.
“Each tier of ascension gives your General a new keyword. You’ll gain Frenzy, Flying and finally, Celerity (in that order) based on the number of artifacts equipped”

Edit: OP added what I put about Ascension.
Its certainly an achievable Trial but I don’t know how I feel about the Destiny part.
So this is the first card this set who’s wording legitimately upsets me tbh, cool affect, fun to play, utterly amateur hour implementation.
Pawn reaches other side of board
Tier 1: knight
Tier 2: queen
Tier 3: table flip
Now just replace Iridium Scale with Zephyr.
This is best artifact
Plays Azure combo vet, plays Windstriker into
You’re welcome
so lets say that sajj reaches the end of the board with one artifact. Can you equip 2 more artifacts, then notion and get tier 3. Or are you stuck at tier 1 because thats what you reached the end with.
And if you reach the end of the board, then lose your only artifact before summoning notion, do you get nothing?
You know, I kinda like this card. With a combination of Iris Barrier and Obdurator, it will be very difficult for the opponent to get rid of your artifacts, and cards like Incinera and Silhouette tracer can make it easier for you to reach the other side. I’m confused about two things though:
Just to clarify.
Artwork provided by @sibon
The levels keep updating constantly based on how much artifacts you have.
Only while on the edge or even if you move away from it? Based on my understanding, it should be the latter.
Anyway, this is one of the funniest and best designed card in the expansion. I like it a lot!
Well then…
Strong against nonprovoke tempo
weak To ping and stun
The Trial is the only part that requires you to be by the edge.
The Destiny only cares about how many artifacts you have equipped to give you tiers of ascension. (You’re free to fly out of that edge after you complete the trial)
So basically, RIP time maelstrom.
wait, if you time maelstrom after 2 attacks, do you get 2 more attacks?
I will be blunt here: this card is terrible.
A five mana 3/3 is bad enough by itself, the effect is flavorful but ultimately either useless (if you have less than 3 artifacts on) or outright overkill (when you have 3 artifacts on since you can kill anybody with Tears + Maelstrom anyway, no need for x4 damage).
Granted this does have the easiest trial to fulfill with a specially built deck, but that is ultimately outshaded by the horrible destiny effect.
Edit: I also forgot to mention the fact that artifacts are ridiculously easy to remove which doesn’t help this card a bit.
Horrible? Getting Frenzy with Sajj already sounds sick to me!
It’s not a game-ending effect like the other trials, but as you correctly note you can easily achieve the Trial even with a standard deck. I prefer it over the shiny effects of the other factions, much better designed and still useful
Frenzy is p average and easy to play around. Flying is nuts tho. This might make gifts playable purely for getting all 3 ascensions at once.
