Ascend (If you control ten or more permanents, you get the city's blessing for the rest of the game.)
At the beginning of your upkeep, if you have the city's blessing, reveal the top card of your library and put it into your hand. Each opponent loses X life and you gain X life, where X is that card's mana value.

wotc19 Jan 2018
Ascend on a permanent isn't a triggered ability and doesn't use the stack. Players can respond to a spell that will give you your tenth permanent, but they can't respond to getting the city's blessing once you control that tenth permanent. This means that if your tenth permanent is a land you play, players can't respond before you get the city's blessing.
wotc19 Jan 2018
If the mana cost of the revealed card includes {X}, X is considered to be 0.
wotc19 Jan 2018
If your tenth permanent enters the battlefield and then a permanent leaves the battlefield immediately afterwards (most likely due to the "Legend Rule" or due to being a creature with 0 toughness), you get the city's blessing before it leaves the battlefield.
wotc19 Jan 2018
If you cast a spell with ascend, you don't get the city's blessing until it resolves. Players may respond to that spell by trying to change whether you get the city's blessing.
wotc19 Jan 2018
If the revealed card doesn't have a mana cost (because it's a land card, for example), its mana value is 0.
wotc19 Jan 2018
A permanent is any object on the battlefield, including tokens and lands. Spells and emblems aren't permanents.
