Rules Text
Increase the points needed to win the game by 1.
Banned
Banned in Standard Constructed since 2026-07-24. Impacted the structure of competitive play in an unhealthy way: picking it became a de facto play in Game 2 or 3 once players knew their play order. Adding the extra point also increases round length, making rounds take longer to execute in a tournament setting.

What happens when you conquer Aspirant's Climb with Green Father and Brush the battlefield when both players are at 8 points?
If this is the first battlefield scored, the player draws 1 and the game continues with both at 8 points. If Aspirant's Climb is replaced via Green Father's effect, the Victory Score changes immediately. Both players at 8 points don't fulfill winning requirements. Additional points must be scored to win. When a player tries to gain a point at or above the Victory Score through Conquering, they draw 1 instead unless they've scored each battlefield that turn.
