Enchantment
LegalRank #564
Whenever a creature you control attacks, you may put a quest counter on this enchantment.
As long as this enchantment has seven or more quest counters on it, creatures you control get +5/+5.
Why is this card good?
Beastmaster Ascension is a payoff for go-wide decks that want to end games out of nowhere. The +5/+5 to your entire board is often lethal in a single swing, turning a pile of tokens into a finisher.
The catch is getting seven attackers in a single combat. That means it's only good in decks built to flood the board:
- Token swarm (Krenko, Adeline, Rhys, Jetmir) where you make wide boards naturally.
- Elfball/Selvala decks with tons of small bodies.
- Anything that can attack with seven creatures the turn after this resolves — it's a turn-later threat, not immediate.
It's slow if you can't fill the counters fast; one attacker per turn is far too slow, and seven counters across multiple combats often won't matter because you'd win anyway. Skip it in decks that go tall (few big creatures), reanimator, or control shells — they'll never trigger it efficiently.
Best as a hidden alpha-strike enabler in dedicated aggressive swarm decks, where it frequently wins on the spot.
