About this expansion

Ascension: Chronicle of the Godslayer – Journeyman Sage Promo is a 2011 promotional card for games with 1–6 players. It is an Enlightened Hero that costs 4 Runes and provides 2 Honor.

Journeyman Sage features a Fate ability that activates when the card enters the center row. At that moment, each player may banish a Hero from their hand to acquire either a Mystic or Heavy Infantry and add the acquired card to their hand.

The card also offers a further way to turn a Hero in hand into another acquisition. By banishing a Hero, a player may acquire a Hero with an Honor value up to one more than the Honor value of the banished card, placing the new Hero in their hand.

  • Cost: 4 Runes
  • Type: Enlightened Hero
  • Fate: Each player may banish a Hero in hand to acquire a Mystic or Heavy Infantry when this card enters the center row.
  • Additional effect: Banish a Hero in hand to acquire a Hero with Honor value up to one more than the banished card’s value.
  • Honor: 2

This promo was associated with the August 20–21 Game Day event. It was intended to be given out at Gen Con 2011, but it was not available at the time.

In Ascension: Chronicle of the Godslayer, Journeyman Sage centers on exchanging Heroes in hand for specific card types or for a Hero with a higher Honor ceiling. Its combination of a center-row Fate effect, hand-based banishing, and 2 Honor makes it a distinct promotional addition to the card pool.
