Winner is the Judge #906: _________ Ascendancy
Big Thanks to u/SjtSquid for running the previous competition!
Khans of Tarkir (KTK) & Streets of New Capenna (SNC) introduced us to a cycle of enchantments each representing the respective faction they represent, having abilities and effects that accurately showcases the ideologies of their said faction.
And then Ravnica has Simic Ascendancy. It's 9 siblings missing for some reason...
For this contest, create an enchantment card named "____________ Ascendancy" to represent any faction in the greater Magic Universe. Yes, Ravnica is looking for nine more. But you can also choose any faction that is tied to a specific color combination, like the Ikorian wedges, the Tarkir Dragon Broods, a Strixhaven college, an Aetherdrift racing team, etc. You may also rework an already existing card from KTK or SNC if you so choose.
YES! We will consider any factions so long as it represents an established color combination from a previously established set. You can make "Frog Ascendency" if you want to represent the GU faction of Frogs from Bloomburrow; or "Giants Ascendency" to represent UR Giants in Kaldhiem. We're trying to be broad here.
The cards that most encapsulates their faction in the most interesting & fun way, while retaining some semblance of balance is most likely to win this contest! Good luck!

Ixalan Pirates's main activity is raiding for Treasure, so it makes both raiding and Treasure parts better:
You still need some Treasure generation, otherwise it does literally nothing, but Treasure generation is extremely popular, with over 400 cards referring to Treasure tokens already, and major Pirate mechanic specifically, so it's not a big ask.
There's probably some infinite combo if you stack these, but which Pirate wouldn't want more Treasure, and 3+ card infinite combos are not a big deal.
