Overview

Dark Ascension Promos is a Magic: The Gathering promotional set in the Innistrad block, released January 28, 2012 with 5 cards. Use the checklist below to track which cards you own, and scan any Dark Ascension Promos card with Tappr to read a Scryfall market estimate synced about every 24 hours.

Best for

  • collectors hunting specific frames and foils
  • people completing or pricing Dark Ascension Promos (5 cards, code pdka)
  • singles buyers focused on Dark Ascension Promos / Strangleroot Geist

Skip if

  • you will not check edition/treatment and still want โ€œNM mythicโ€ prices
  • you expect every rare in the set to hold similar resale

Common mistakes

On Dark Ascension Promos, the usual miss is assuming every mythic in a masters set holds sealed-product heat. Money still clusters around Dark Ascension Promos / Strangleroot Geist; treating the whole list like one price tier is how people overpay bulk. Also: Dark Ascension Promos (2012, supplemental / masters) gets mixed into lots that are not the same product โ€” match set code pdka before the art.

What to check first

First: foil premium vs nonfoil. On Dark Ascension Promos / Strangleroot Geist, do condition under light before grade talk. Then use the Dark Ascension Promos checklist for gaps โ€” sealed is not a plan for the expensive row.
