Episodes

The weirdest Maverick! 17.12.2019

Aember and Artifact control in two houses each, plus a good shot at board domination with Brobnar - but what is this nerd doing hanging out with the Giants? Decklist: https://www.keyforgegame.com/deck-details/bff1747a-8d67-4873-b57a-2b916ad45b92

Brobnar in Worlds Collide! 16.12.2019

Jupiter and I talk through all the Brobnar cards in Worlds Collide! Read along at http://bit.ly/2srgf0X. Find more from Jupiter at https://sites.google.com/view/5thplanetkeyforge/home .

My first WC Maverick 15.12.2019

The Maverick Anga is a cool touch, but probably not life-changing in this deck. Overall, it has cool tools for doing a lot of stuff and making your opponent pay for it. Decklist: https://www.keyforgegame.com/deck-details/7d8b7b44-5534-4c86-8ae4-715fc87e649c

Dis in Worlds Collide! 15.12.2019

Dominic and I talk through all the Dis cards in Worlds Collide! Read along at http://bit.ly/2tcftFo.

Feel the burn! 13.12.2019

This monster has aember control in all 3 houses, with 3 cards in Saurian that allow you to abuse capture. With strong board control to go along with that, this thing is formidable! Decklist: https://www.keyforgegame.com/deck-details/a733fed5-e44c-4b99-8287-732eeec97893

A study in situationally-good cards 10.12.2019

There are a lot of cards in this deck that very good, but only under specific circumstances. That makes it a bit scary. :) Decklist: https://www.keyforgegame.com/deck-details/442f772d-b226-41f9-bb1f-2a3aefcbcc04

Fight stuff, get paid 08.12.2019

This deck has an awesome way to convert Brobnar board control into Saurian tempo. Add in Logos to grease everything, and you have one hot BBQ! Decklist: https://www.keyforgegame.com/deck-details/2b8a62ed-d37b-48e3-9eaa-9797a40eeada

Opening a WC Premium box! 07.12.2019

I wanted to see what all the hype was about, so I acquired and opened a premium box. Check it out!

Drawing to ten cards sounds fun! 07.12.2019

This thing has Zenzi with two Daughters, and Ortannu to boot! The potential is crazy. Decklist: https://www.keyforgegame.com/deck-details/bde44e16-354b-4de6-8673-d419c6a3f7f3

This deck is not as think as it smarts it is 05.12.2019

Nogi Smartfist makes an appearance, along with Philophosaurus, but in the end this deck just wants to fight and blow stuff up. :) Decklist: https://www.keyforgegame.com/deck-details/5456c528-5b12-4de7-a5ac-3502f4fa7a82

This deck really is tactical 01.12.2019

This deck is not going to control the board by an overwhelming show of force, but it might do it through judicious use of a ton of tools, along with what look to be well-placed Kirbys. Cycle, repeat? Decklist: https://www.keyforgegame.com/deck-details/cadaef38-c9f6-429b-8680-c9013a80b07f

Oh, the subtleties of war... 30.11.2019

There is definitely some thematic tension between the Brobnar and Shadows in this deck. Can the Star Alliance keep them working together? Let's find out... Decklist: https://www.keyforgegame.com/deck-details/e8690a30-9b3d-4175-b5a1-70cc81c03275

I'm the purge deck they warned you about! 27.11.2019

This deck has pesky purge, pretty good not-creature-based board control in all the houses, and a key cheat to boot. However, it's also an example of something I'm seeing a lot of in WC - no steal in Shadows! Some pickpocket. :o Decklist: https://www.keyforgegame.com/deck-details/f5b86f76-13b4-4af4-8a5c-3e79ed3ba2a3

Stay calm, and keep triggering play effects! 24.11.2019

How many times do you want to trigger Sneklifter (or Ronnie)? Also featured: Callipygian Stenopius with double Tribute! Decklist: https://www.keyforgegame.com/deck-details/297c134c-a894-4449-8a3c-16dfb391bd01

This deck stole its way into my heart. 23.11.2019

Felonious is right! 3 Qincans plus a very greedy Shadows makes for way too much steal. On the other hand, it struggles with board control, which is why 3 Unnatural Selections can come in handy. Decklist: https://www.keyforgegame.com/deck-details/a751cc85-ae8c-44c1-9365-0cad8ce74f98

Again with the board control? I love it! 20.11.2019

This thing has very busy combos in all 3 houses, with 3 different Blasters, and a lot of fun fight/reap effects. Decklist: https://www.keyforgegame.com/deck-details/33080ae5-2633-4b31-a991-37d11646aa09

Nice Aember Gen ya got there! 17.11.2019

This is a pretty decent Untamed setup for Worlds Collide, with steal hate + some steal in both Shadows and Star Alliance. Seems fun! Decklist: https://www.keyforgegame.com/deck-details/9495a190-3015-4589-9d2f-b8ed83b76f37

Deck: New houses + Logos goes 3-1 in sealed! 15.11.2019

Consistency makes for a reliable gameplan, and archives bump your consistency! Decklist: https://www.keyforgegame.com/deck-details/56ea8dba-7b28-491a-bedd-8e035e615040

Deck: Top 8 of 24 in WC Sealed Store Champs! 13.11.2019

This deck took me to top 8 at a local store championship. It's not amazing, but if it establishes itself on the board it can do serious work. Decklist: https://www.keyforgegame.com/deck-details/5995b522-95f5-4fa9-a0bd-af0b1d37e649

My new reversal deck? 09.11.2019

This deck has an okay Brobnar, but a really uninspiring Mars, and a dismal Sanctum. Come for the useless artifacts, stay for the countersynergizing actions! Decklist: https://www.keyforgegame.com/deck-details/a251355a-53a2-4362-b64d-a0bcc6119260

Deck: Happy Release Day! Want to play catch-up? 08.11.2019

If so, this deck is for you! There are plenty of cards in here that can exploit being behind, but I suspect not enough to actually pull ahead. Just decent setups in all 3 houses. Decklist: https://www.keyforgegame.com/deck-details/7c1a7c27-308c-46dc-924a-8bb33558b9fe

This deck wants to control everything! 08.11.2019

Key cost bumping, steal, board control, ward, and even player control, all with a pretty speedy set of cards. Let's go! Decklist: https://www.keyforgegame.com/deck-details/b83e0a6b-3fbb-4742-9d3c-df1452fb9048

Set Review: Shadows in Worlds Collide! 07.11.2019

Cadence and I talk through all the Shadows cards in Worlds Collide. Join us!

How to find great decks for reasonable prices 07.11.2019

I found a deck I'm pretty excited about for $10 (including shipping). In this video, I'll show you how I did that, as well as the deck! DOK Link: https://decksofkeyforge.com/decks/8225503f-6af3-4c7d-a8a0-a0f25f69bcfc

This deck has 3 Ortannu!...sort of... 06.11.2019

This deck has a lot of interesting stuff going for it, and potentially gets even better depending on what the opponent has on the board. I'm really looking forward to seeing how it pans out! Decklist: https://www.keyforgegame.com/deck-details/e6369183-a0e4-44fc-a245-b03df157050b
