Really looking forward to this set as it follows Innistrad and its flavor.
There's a lot riding on this expansion. So far with Innistrad the set has a lot of innovative concepts and the flavor in the set is absolutely AMAZING! I can't stress enough how much I love the flavor. Dark Ascension can go 1 of 2 ways. It can build on the flavor left in the set, or it can fall flat on itself and just be another set of 150 cards for the tournament players to build with.
SHOULD be a great addition to Innistrad. Will give us more cards to better get theme decks going and tie into decks being constructed.

When a juggler is throwing an egg, a bowling ball, and a razor-sharp machete between his legs, we’re usually quite happy if the egg goes splat, and the bowling ball breaks his foot when he drops it. The big payoff, though, is the razor-sharp machete, and truthfully the only reason we watch this stuff is in the vain hope that today will be the one time in a million that it all goes horribly wrong and we get to watch an actual evisceration live on stage...
