2025 Organized Play Announcement: https://keyforging.com/unlocking-keyforge-2025-organized-play/
Hello Archonts, In my opinion Dark Tidings change a lot in game dynamics, especially in chains mechanics, so i trying to figure out how to introduce some rules to "older decks". Do you have some own/home rules in game? Do you use chains system in some additional way in older decks?
Hi Archonts, I have to select a card basen on their strenght. For example card have some upgrade giving +2 to strenght and default the same card have 4 strenght point. So now i should destroy this because it have 4 strenght (if i select another to save) or i cannot to do this because now it have 6 strenght (card + upgrade)?
Hi,
I’m a player that only played with the first sets of KeyForge (from CotA to DT) and then fell out of the loop because I mainly didn’t like two things:
I only play casually and I’d like to know if there’s a format or group that only plays with these first sets. I am aware of tco and that I can have these games over there.
Thank you in advance.
TL;DR: Lost the Archon card of an unregistered deck five years ago, and still feel remorse over it.
This post is so stupid, but it must be written and posted because I need to just get this off my chest.
I love KeyForge. I have twenty-four decks (only twenty-three registered...), and I really do try to promote this game to people whenever I get a chance. I have not bought any product from Ghost Galaxy yet, but in 2019 during the Fantasy Flight years I bought a display case of Call of the Archons for around 40USD and would take around two boosters in my backpack to show the game to people.
One time before the pandemic was on anyone's minds, I went to another city and met a friend at a Starbucks near a bus terminal. I pulled out two KeyForge decks and a pack of clear sleeves, and had her crack open the pack and sleeve everything. We played a few games, everything was great, we tidied up, I hopped on a bus and went home.
Only when I got home and took out the decks again to register them again did I realize, with annoyance that slowly turned to horror, that the deck my friend was using was missing its Archon card. Gah! Every other card was there, though, so I did not think much of it. But it did bother me whenever I thought about it.
Today, I found out that replacement decks can now be ordered for decks so long as they are registered. This made me have a session of outright mourning for this deck that was so fun to play but that never got a fair shake.
I might post a list later just so you guys can tell me that it sucks and I did not really miss out on a tournament-winning list or anything, but just the idea that all my other decks can live on for as long as the digital data for the game survives, while this one deck shall have to depend on me to cherish and maintain, makes me feel almost like I have a sick pet. I feel physical pain, a terrible cringe, when I look at the deck. Khan McCann... Brobnar, Untamed, Shadows... no idea what SAS this deck would be (I am thinking of paying for Decks of KeyForge just to take a peek past the paywall), but it really did feel even like a deck that clicks with my playstyle. And the name, oh the name. What a shame!
I know that this is obviously an insanely obsessive overreaction, and that it is basically me creating a bout of pain for myself by dwelling on this. I have never even played in a KeyForge tournament and have no plans to, yet I really loved my experiences with this great game and it just feels so bad that the one card I am missing out of all twenty-four of my decks is the one card that can never be replaced.
Maybe one day, there will be a way to register KeyForge decks that do not have an Archon card. Maybe Khan McCann shall regain his soul. But I am not holding my breath. Rather, I just want to properly mourn the fact that if I lose a single card out of his playable thirty-six, that's it.
I even told my wife today, if I could only save one of my twenty-four decks from a fire, I would definitely choose Khan McCann. The other ones I can just order again from the site, but this one deck is now priceless to me. I love it.
Upon reflection, maybe my friend did me a favor by losing that Archon card. (Though, it really is my fault for not taking more care to make sure I had everything.) I do not think of any of my other KeyForge decks even half as much as I think about Khan McCann. I remember several of my decks by name, but this is the only one that makes my heart ache when it comes to mind.
This is a long post. Thank you for reading. To spark some discussion, I ask: What are your own KeyForge stories of losing cards or experiencing loss? What are your own tales of losing precious game pieces in this unique deck card game?
I got back into Keyforge recently and love Grim Reminders and Amber Skies and was wondering when opponing and playing decks what kind of card combo's to look out for.
quick search on the internet are mostly old video's from many years ago.
With Winds of Death and Memette can I:
if Memette is on the field when i play winds of death again:
memette can no achieve the winds of death that destroyed him, correct?
right?
But it memette is in the discard when winds of death is played:
it's not unstopable. But so long as I play my cards right, i can just keep the board under my control.
Is that broken? or fine?
This 84 is one of my high SAS deck. is that good? Or do i have bad luck?
https://decksofkeyforge.com/decks/05e371f1-0e76-4c31-ba8f-dced4e3674ed
I've played this a few times, I struggle to make this work
Ekwidon
De-escalation , Azuretooth , Gegrrŏkŭŭ Sapper are cards that seem to be better for my opponent more than me. Gegrrŏkŭŭ give's my opponent a hard to kill REAPer. And I can't scrap him because i generally has an artifact i want to keep.
Geistoid
There are things that befit a little from being haunted. But alot of my Gestoid mills my deck to no real benefit.
Unfathom
little creature power, and not really and focus in the actions to lean on.
Some one give me some pointers? is this a case the SAS is wrong? Is 84 not that good. The Ekwidon and Unfathom seem a bit unusable
This mechanic was suppose to help balance more powerful effects and it just seems to have gone away. I think if the past 4 sets have had them or even made more use of the Alpha and Omega mechanics, it could have reigned them in a bit more so that older set decks could stand a chance. Thoughts on this?
In alot of other games this is easy: You keep 90% of the unused cards grouped with their color elements. While your half dozen of built decks are in a ready to go box.
but key forge is different. there's no cards in storage. every deck is ready. how do you group yours? how do your organize them so you can find the deck you want at the time?
Pulled these 3 decks out of Aember Skies. Have been really excited to get my hands on some of the new set but I get to play so sparcely these days that I really don't know how to evaluate these decks. Any thoughts or insight on the decks below would be awesome.
My quick scan of the best highest sas is that it's a shard deck which I've never had one of but wanted so that's cool and the Skyborn house seems to have some fun cards and light synergy around the red key so that seems fun. Mid deck I'm not really sure how to evaluate or what to look out for and the lowest deck seems pretty bad but logos appears to have a card that pulls others in?
What cards pull others in with this set besides treasure map? No skybeast is kinda a bummer. Again, thoughts on the decks would be awesome as well as what are the cards and combos to look for in this set.
Thanks everyone!
