The video title is actually a reference to an anime of the current season, can anyone guess what it is?

This was a really useful video, thanks! I was wondering if exhausting Labyrinth could pay for alternative ascend costs, like the "Siegwurm card" required to obtain life cores with Nova, but I think it would be too broken!

Labyrinth only covers the condition listed in the red box of Ascend. Ascend itself is what I’d labelled as a “keyword effect” (unofficial term). Nova’s summon effect is a, well, summon effect, so it’s completely separate to the Ascend keyword, the “Siegwurm card” condition within Nova’s summon effect is a “conditional event” (official term from 8-1-5-1 in CR) that has to be fulfilled for the summon effect to trigger. Labyrinth can’t cover for the summon effect.
TLDR: The “Siegwurm card” is a condition for Nova’s summon effect, which is an effect separate/unrelated to the Ascend keyword, hence Labyrinth doesn’t bother with it.

@@AyumuBSseminar thx for the explanation! Should really take a look at those rules, just to prevent some missplay on the go. Keep up the good work!

How are people confused over this, my only take away in bring educated is that Acend is an effect.

[@AyumuBSseminar]

People from different backgrounds put their attentions on different aspects of the game, so there will always be people confused about things that others understand perfectly fine. Or, you know, they're just not well-informed.
Saga itself is a fairly complicated game, with its rules practically scattered everywhere because Bandai doesn't do their job right. So my purposes of these videos aren't just to inform obscured rulings, but to also collect all rules of the same topic and compile them into one video for easier access of information.
