However, unlike in previous sets, Events can now be acquired and transformed into powerful Hero cards.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis set introduces two new mechanisms: infest and empower. Infest allows you to mess with an opponent's deck, forcing them to draw useless cards. This gameplay feature can slow down a player that jumps out early and introduces a strategic element not seen in previous sets. Players can counter this infestation through Empower cards. When the player acquires an Empower card, they may banish a card played that turn (i.e., using the card, then eliminating it). This added flexibility creates a lasting impact in each game.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Stone Blade Entertainment","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":53873503895918,"sku":null,"price":40.95,"currency_code":"CAD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0992\/7471\/9598\/files\/ascensiongiftoftheelements.webp?v=1785372320","url":"https:\/\/www.wiserscollectibles.com\/products\/ascension-gift-of-the-elements","provider":"Wiser's Collectibles","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
