We had some technical difficulties with episode 34, and then a hurricane came a long and messed us up again. But we are back with a deep dive into the archive mechanic. In this weekly podcast episode we discuss the power level of archiving, and the number of cards that attack it.

We got a chance to play in our very first reversal tournament. We discuss how we did, plus how much we love this format. Finally we close out the episode with a discussion about a KeyForge deck that we believe is one of our strongest.

We all sorta knew it was coming but at GenCon Fantasy Flight Games announced 2 new houses coming to KeyForge. KeyForge Worlds Collide is coming this November!!!

We close out out topic of artifact control with a comparison of AoA and CoTA. A lot of people we talk to say AoA feels like it has less artifact control than Call of the Archons.

Let us know … Continue reading "Episode 30 – Artifact Control in Age of Ascension" The post Episode 30 – Artifact Control in Age of Ascension appeared first on KeyForge Podcast.

In this episode we take a different approach and examine some individual cards and discuss how highly we value destroying that creature. On a scale of 1 – 5 (1 we don’t worry about it, to 5 we do anything possible to kill it) we discuss how we each rate different creatures in Keyforge.

With Age of Ascension, KeyForge has a huge amount of must answer creatures. We all know what playing against these feels like, but how do we think about these in terms of our overall strategy.

Age of Ascension feels like it has less Amber control in general, so we put that to the test and compared the numbers to Call of the Archons. While our numbers are probably not 100% accurate, what we did find out is pretty surprising.

One of the hardest things to figure out in KeyForge is when you should hold onto a card. In this episode we pick 9 cards to talk about when we’d hold, and when we’d just play the card.
