==New | ==New Set Mechanics== | ||
Age of Ascension introduced [[ | === New Keywords: Alpha, Omega, Deploy === | ||
New keywords introduced in Age of Ascension were [[Alpha]], [[Omega]] and [[Deploy]]: restricting when certain cards can be played and freeing others from the constraints of standard placement. These are keywords that are considered "evergreen" as they regularly show up in subsequent sets. | |||
=== Legacy Cards === | |||
Age of Ascension introduced [[Legacy]] cards. These are cards from a previous set (such as CotA) that are not part of the current set, but on very rare occasions can appear in a deck. [[Legacy Maverick|Legacy Mavericks]] are also possible and extremely rare. Legacies occur in [[Legacy_and_Maverick_Frequencies|about 8.4%]] of AoA decks, but legacy mavericks are only found in about 1 in 11,000 of them. Legacy cards have continued to appear in subsequent sets. | |||

Age of Ascension features more board based abilities and less Æmber bonus cards than Call of the Archons, and introduces abilities that punish or stop reaping. This creates a more complex and interactive gameplay, which along with [[Houses#Competitive success|improved]] house strength balance made Age of Ascension especially enjoyable in the [[Formats and variants#Sealed|Sealed]] format. | Age of Ascension features more board based abilities and less Æmber bonus cards than Call of the Archons, and introduces abilities that punish or stop reaping.
