Ascension Address
- The king’s court is garbed in black, for the second most important figure in the realm has died. Not the queen, nor the heir, but the Royal Wizard. For years, Garen Drakemage captured, bred, and enchanted monstrous beasts to serve in battle. The ferocious beasts have provided key victories, bringing both the realm and Garen much honor.
- But now Garen Drakemage is gone, and one of his apprentices must take his place as the chief supplier of military monsters. Each must strive to prove his worth. It is a contest of both skill and leadership. In the end, one wizard will be selected as the new Royal Wizard, and given a title fitting of his new station. And with the on-going conflict in the west, the demand for war monsters is higher than ever…
- Change Architect to Wizard and Supervisor to King. Keep all special case rules active.

Ascension
A cabal was formed between Kaia and Cuddlebeam (If Kaia won, Cuddlebeam would get 100% of the Emperor mantle), which then had Ienpw III (given 33%), and Faright (given 33%) join, for a 4-person cabal, with a plan around the victory condition at the time, which was Favor-reliant, and it was possible to pool actions to benefit Kaia. Victory seemed assured, but after ubq323 idled, Quorum lowered from 5 to 4, making the cabal potentially able to control all proposal outcomes.
Seeing this as unhealthy gameplay, Ienpw III left the cabal.
Ienpw III then proposed a new victory condition The Hunger Duels, which shifted the game from a favor-based victory condition to a single-duel-elimination, free-for-all Battle Royale.
Meanwhile, Farsight privately promised support to TyGuy6. They dueled to pool resources, and Farsight was eliminated.
There was lack of coordination/motivation in the old cabal, and soon Kaia and Cuddlebeam were Eliminated.
While TyGuy6 had the largest, most costly stable, Kevan and Cuddlebeam hade been saving up food for a while. Once duel acceptance became enforceable, TyGuy6 challenged all three of the remaining Wizards: Kevan, naught and Ienpw III. Cuddlebeam passed his food to Ien, giving Kevan and Ien a strong food lead.
Kevan having the first duel, he opted to concede rather than convert his food advantage to a (copyable by Ien) creature force, then secretly allied with TyGuy6 to prepare him for the next two duels.
While Kevan plotted with TyGuy6 to make his final creature set uncopyable, card unidled and gave food support to naught. naught converted it to creatures and submitted to the duel. TyGuy6 likewise converted and sent, but called out naught for receiving extra food and for doubling up on tactics, and the duel ended by CfJ in TyGuy6's favor.
At which point, Ien idled to allow TyGuy6 to claim the throne, and TyGuy6, after DoV, passed it to Farsight.
