Feels like the start of an Ascension 2.0 – Shards of Infinity Review

I was a big fan of Ascension, and Shards certain feels very familiar, but with many interesting improvements. I’m especially enjoying the mercenary mechanic (getting the choice to immediately use-and-banish some cards instead of solely adding them to the deck). The factions are rather familiar (roughly, blue drawing cards and having thresholds, green wanting pairs-or-more of green, tan having a focus on stays-in-play cards, and purple being damage and deck-cleaning), and it’s certainly interesting to see some reincarnations of Ascension cards or effects (eg. acquire a card of cost 6 or less), while still putting them in a new context/balance. I’m absolutely looking forward to seeing where future expansions/card-sets go from here!
