Go check mythic spoiler. Can't link because on phone - sorry.
Ludicrously strong.
Basically buffs and gives chump blockers for days.
So we're 3 for 3 on the ascendencies. I'm starting to lean Abzan as my clan (was originally thinking Jeskai or Sultai).

Abzan is looking to play this really techy grind game by chucking out tokens and counters. It seems to be one of the most effective clans in giving you ways to not lose AND ways to win.

lol this just gave Junk a boost. I can totally see this playable in modern.
Best cards outside of the fetches in Khans so far.

I like how this gives value if cast late or early in the game. Not game breaking but useful.

Abzan Ascendancy
Enchantment
When Abzan Ascendancy enters the battlefield, put a +1/+1 counter on each creature you control.
Whenever a nontoken creature you control dies, put a 1/1 white Spirit creature token with flying onto the battlefield.

@Caligula That was the first card that came to mind for me as well. Think it might be a bit clunky though as the spirit only enters when a nontoken dies. You'd want to use those spirits to save the nontoken from dying with Spirit Bonds .

So many good cards, I don't know what I wanna play come rotation... I feel like this would fit in very nicely with Athreos, God of Passage .

Abzan is looking quite sexy. I mean this seems to do well with the whole Abzan play style and the Ivorytusk Fortress seem so be the tank of the clan well kinda
