![]() ![]() The prerelease was January 28–29, 2012, the launch party on February 3–6, 2012, the Magic Online release on February 20, 2012. The small booster featured artwork from Beguiler of Wills. The 16-card boosters featured artwork from Havengul Lich, Sorin, Lord of Innistrad and Werewolf Ransacker. ![]() Marketing ĭark Ascension was sold in 16-card boosters, 6-card boosters, five intro packs, two event decks and a fat pack. It is revealed that Avacyn, the guardian angel created by Sorin is locked in the Helvault. The humans are on the verge of extinction and have to take desperate measures to stem the tide. While the forces of good struggle to hold back the threat, villagers cower behind walls and pray for the morning light. Innistrad has been overrun by creatures of the night. ![]() New mechanics are Fateful Hour and Undying.The expansion symbol of the set is the Innistrad symbol "turned inward", which represents humanity hunkering down. All the major mechanics of the previous set, including double-faced cards, return. The set puts a stronger emphasis on tribal creature types, such as providing a lord for each of the main types ( vampires, ghosts, werewolves, zombies and humans). The set contains 158 cards (64 Common, 44 Uncommon, 38 Rare, 12 Mythic) and includes randomly inserted premium versions of all cards in the set. With this in mind, the first time the creature dies is the only time you have to choose the stack order, since one of the triggers won't even trigger after the first time.Dark Ascension, like its predecessor, is top-down designed with a horror theme. As the permanent last existed on the battlefield, it had a +1/+1 counter on it, so undying will not trigger. If that permanent had a +1/+1 counter on it, then receives enough -1/-1 counters for it to be put into a graveyard due to having 0 toughness or lethal damage marked on it, it won't return to the battlefield despite the state-based action of +1/+1 counters and -1/-1 counters "cancelling each other out". Undying relies on the last known information about the permanent just before it was put into a graveyard.However, like all tokens, it can't return to the battlefield and will cease to exist as a state-based action before the ability would go on the stack. Tokens can gain undying, and the ability will trigger if a token is put into a graveyard. ![]()
