About this expansion

Ascension: Chronicle of the Godslayer – Vortex Promo is a 2011 promotional Monster card for the 2–4-player Ascension game. It was given to participants at the Planar Showdown event in San Diego, California, on November 13, 2011.

Vortex has a cost of 6 Power to defeat. Defeating this Monster provides a reward of 4 Honor, along with a distinctive physical card effect that uses the card’s landing position.
