I’ve been struggling to coherently form my ideas into articles lately, while I battle with the new challenges of worlds collide. Tournament reports are much easier though, so here is one. This is a tournament run on Keyforge Community Tournaments which is organized by AllforOne, who is UK based. So if you’re from Europe and the US dead of night tournaments are a tough...
I signed up for two grand championships at the same time, Netherlands and Belgium. I mostly went to Brussels because the flight was cheap, and I could make a weekend of it. Utrecht did not go well, so I had most of my eggs in the Belgium basket, with one additional chance to get travel budget to worlds in the UK grand championship. Preparation...
If you’re anything like me, you don’t really remember all the cards until you’ve actually played with a large portion of them. In Worlds Collide it’s even harder with the Latin Dinos and two whole houses to learn. I have an Archon event this weekend, and as an effort to learn which cards I need to be able to recognise as I read Archon...
My very first vault tour was at UKGE Birmingham, the release of Age of Ascension. I wanted to be competitive, so I had to learn the cards as best I could. This time though, I did not have any important sealed events coming up, so I decided to remain spoiler free until I got to play with Worlds Collide. Remaining Spoiler Free My favourite...
I have participated in store level 2 deck true survival, and I have participated in 6 round 3 deck survival into top cut. This article is me sharing my thought processes with you, in an effort to give you another perspective so you may find your own. Top Cut vs True Survival Since I have only played true survival at the store level, I...
This is going to be short and to the point. Let’s talk about warming up before an event. Importance When I started woodworking, I read a post about cutting dovetails, and the author wrote about warming up. It’s important in pretty much anything you need to do well on the first try. It’s not only athletes that need warm ups. In my recent event...
This past weekend I participated at the Dutch Grand Championship in Utrecht, 3 deck survival. This writeup will focus on the gameplay. From a personal perspective, I have a lot of mixed feelings about this event. There are also things that happened to other people that greatly affected my enjoyment of the event, and I don’t feel it is appropriate I broadcast those things...
I haven’t written much lately, mostly due to me going to the Grand Championship in Utrecht this weekend. Some stress has been getting to me as I am preparing for it. However, as I have been preparing for it, I found an additional method of collection curation which I’d like to share with you. This is a short article that is an addendum to...
After six months of Age of Ascension still largely dominated by Call of the Archon decks, I want to ask a question that should have been asked long ago: Is Æmber Control essential to winning? What is Æmber control? Let’s start by defining the concept we wish to investigate. Everyone knows KeyForge is a race, but that is true for almost any game with...
Back in April 2019 I decided to go to my first Vault Tour at UKGE. Making that decision I knew I wanted to improve my gameplay, and the very first thing I looked for is someone to help me understand holding or discarding cards in KeyForge. The article I found by Jake Frydman’s (Co-host of Sanctumonius podcast) KeyForge Tips: Discarding was exactly what I was...
