Secrets of the Golden City, Sorcery, designed by Jason Felix first released in Jan, 2018 in the set Rivals of Ixalan and was printed exactly in 2 different ways.
Secrets of the Golden City would benefit a control deck that aims to accumulate a high number of permanents on the battlefield, as it rewards players with additional card draw if they achieve the city's blessing. However, there are better card draw options available in formats like Magic: the Gathering, such as Dig Through Time or Treasure Cruise, which offer more efficient card advantage without the requirement of reaching a specific permanent count. While Secrets of the Golden City could see play in certain niche strategies, it may not be a top choice for competitive decks due to its conditional nature and the existence of stronger alternatives.

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.

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.

Once you have the city’s blessing, you have it for the rest of the game, even if you lose control of some or all of your permanents. The city’s blessing isn’t a permanent itself and can’t be removed by any effect.
