The bare bones production quality on this one. A big thank you to Zach from Call of Discovery doing most of the heavy lifting in preparing this podcast. An even bigger thank you to the community that has supported us. I (Dan) go into more details on this episode but with current life and world conditions we will be on a hiatus for the time being. If there are topics that pop that we decide to reconvene and record you better be sure that we will do so, but right now things are hectic and unfortunately have to cull certain things to allow for time to take care of the more important things like family and work.  Thank you all for the ride and the discord is still alive as ever so come hang there to get your Keyforge fix and interact with us and the fine folks that make up the Inner Sanctum.

Episode 50 - Drafting KeyForge

In this episode sad and Jakeless, Sir Alex and Sir Dan talk a new Keyforge variant the Sanctumonious discord community has come up with called Unnatural Selection. Also we announce some details regarding "The Glorious You" a new free to enter tournament. Unnatural Selection Format:This is an archon format where prior to the deck selection stage a draft takes place to determine the houses your deck must contain. Drafting takes place in pods of 8 people. At the start of each draft the players are each assigned a randmon place in the draft order 1-8. In turn order each player drafts a house that will NOT be present in their archon deck. Each house may not be chosen more than 6 times and you may not ban a house more than once. (So once 6 players have banned Logos 2 seats will have Logos locked in as their pick) Picks are chosen as a snake draft (i've explained below in case your not sure what that is.) The 8th player always picks twice in a row and after their #1 pick the 1st player will double pick. So the turn order goes "1,2,3,4,5,6,7,8,8,7,6,5,4,3,2,1,1...etc"For the first two round of draft picks each player must draft a unique house. (I.e once a player has banned Logos no other player may ban logos that round) Starting on the 3rd round of picks each player cannot choose a house the player before them has drafted. (I.e 2 seat picks Logos therefore Seat 3 may NOT pick Logos) This process repeats until each player has chosen until each player has drafted 6 houses which will NOT be present in their deck. If any point you are locked into house Mars your last two picks will be instantly locked in to ban Star Alliance and Saurian. If you already have either SA or Saurian banned than your next single pick must be used to ban the remaing house that would cause could cause an impossible house combination. If at any point you are locked into Saurian or SA your last pick is instantly locked in to Mars.After the draft has completed the players will choose an deck which houses match the 3 houses not banned by their draft picks. Tournament play will the proceed based on organizers choosingSanctumonius Links: Support Sanctumonius on Patreon: https://www.patreon.com/sanctumoniusJoin the Sanctumonius Discord: https://discord.gg/2YDDRRZGet your new design Sanctumonius merch here: https://www.redbubble.com/shop/sanctumonius?ref=search_boxSanctumonius Playmats: https://www.inkedgaming.com/pages/search-results-page?q=sanctumonius

Archons of the Crucible,Before you lies a ladder. At the bottom is nothingness. Vast, terrifying nothingness as the eye can see. At the top lies a treasure beyond your wildest imagination. A treasure worth more than gold or even glory in battle. That reward is nothing other than community, friendship, and the feeling of belonging to something greater than oneself. In today's episode, the knights of the Sanctumonius podcast talk about the obstacles our scribes may face ascending each rung. But more than that, we say to you, "climb." Together, we will build something great, and together we will forge those keys!Join the Sanctumonius Discord: https://discord.gg/2YDDRRZ Social ContactsShow Twitter : https://twitter.com/sanctumoniusShow Email: sanctumonius@gmail.com DanTwitter: https://twitter.com/danissome1Twitch: https://www.twitch.tv/danissome1 JakeTwitter: https://twitter.com/jakefrydTwitch: https://www.twitch.tv/jakefrydBlog: https://chickenfrydgames.wordpress.com/

Note: This episode may be less geared towards the casual KeyForge player than some of our other episodes. However, it is short and sweet, and I hope players of all levels of involvement with the game will still find this to be an enjoyable listen.Archons,In this episode of Sanctumonius, the knights discuss the secret to identifying a vault tour in your collection using science. A special thanks to loyal discordians 1StarPeeps and Lady Cafeina for providing a statistical analysis from which the knights draw upon. The banter around the round table then naturally turns to conclusions about the meta and in fact what a meta even means in the context of KeyForge if anything at all.Join the Sanctumonius Discord: https://discord.gg/AQtpT5b Social ContactsShow Twitter : https://twitter.com/sanctumoniusShow Email: sanctumonius@gmail.com DanTwitter: https://twitter.com/danissome1Twitch: https://www.twitch.tv/danissome1 JakeTwitter: https://twitter.com/jakefrydTwitch: https://www.twitch.tv/jakefrydBlog: https://chickenfrydgames.wordpress.com/
