Dark Ascension, released on February 3, 2012, continues the gothic horror narrative of Innistrad, shifting the tone as evil begins to dominate the plane. The set expands on graveyard themes and double-faced cards, introducing the new mechanics Fateful Hour and Undying, while continuing Morbid and Flashback. Notable cards include Thalia, Guardian of Thraben, Gravecrawler, and Huntmaster of the Fells. With a darker atmosphere and strong tribal support, Dark Ascension deepens the suspense and strategy of the Innistrad block.
