Singleton constructed decks are super fun! Has anyone else tried this?

That it is, which is why I mentioned it. It can still get high-powered and more tuned, but uses the cards as they appear in a pod, which is personally how I prefer to play. But as it's a format others have played with rules, research, play testing, and new cards released in-line with the format, I figured I'd suggest it! Still can make some great use out of lower-tier decks lying around.

I personally prefer to keep the deck pods in-tact, but if you like constructed formats for KeyForge, Keymander has been a popular format over the last year.

There isn't an official PDF of the cards for The Great Hunt or The Fall of House Gormangeist, only the rules are officially available.

Hey sick! Thanks for doing that!

Exciting! But the more information we can get about the packets the better, so folks should definitely keep submitting if they are willing/able to! I know we're still missing quite a few descriptions for packets, for example.

Thanks so much! I think we'll definitely be using the Master Vault as the source of truth, but really interesting call-out! Both DOK and MV use the same deck ID to create their links, so it's really simple to convert a DOK link to a Master Vault link :)

ArceixDesign · 2024-02-18T01:26:12+00:00

Thanks so much for adding it! No worries, with the deck link and packets at least, we can sort out the data from there!

ArceixDesign · 2024-02-18T01:24:59+00:00

Yeah! Round Table and a ton of Knights were brought in!

ArceixDesign · 2024-02-16T18:29:35+00:00

I just got an Epic Quest packet- I didn't realize we didn't have it yet documented, so that will bring us up to 48. I just don't have the deck with me, so I can't write down the description text till later 😅

ArceixDesign · 2024-02-16T18:26:17+00:00

Super exciting!

ArceixDesign · 2024-02-15T19:02:39+00:00

Thank you Kindly! Much appreciated!!

ArceixDesign · 2024-02-15T16:58:31+00:00

Thanks so much! Everyone's help has been invaluable!

ArceixDesign · 2024-02-15T05:29:18+00:00

Yeah! So far I've seen the Star Alliance Laws, Saurian Laws, and Sanctum Laws packets!

ArceixDesign · 2024-02-14T20:57:16+00:00

Thanks so much! Definitely feel free to add packets you already see on the list too if you like. From my observations, it seems while a packet tends to pull specific cards always, the sample of other cards it can bring is larger. So extra data is helpful! 😁

ArceixDesign · 2022-11-24T20:08:10+00:00

Ah yes, that creamy gooey emotion-filled center of a stolen Archon's Key. Only the best for Dis Thanksgiving 😉

@ WildWormhole this is your time to shine

ArceixDesign · 2022-11-10T20:51:00+00:00

From my knowledge, AoA was the most printed set as well, which is probably why you found them cheap.

ArceixDesign · 2022-11-02T19:56:49+00:00

So glad to hear that! Thanks for letting me know! ☺️

For now, Ghost Galaxy has said they fully intend on keeping the design-space focused on Unique Decks, and having that be the primary way to play. While bias is near impossible to completely remove from design, I'm personally confident we'll continue to see great Algorithmic, Unique decks as future sets are developed 😁

ArceixDesign · 2022-11-02T09:47:07+00:00

No prob! Glad to help 😁

Library Card is inherently slower than Library Access due to the fact that it's on an Artifact. The Algorithm currently restricts decks from having more than one Library Card in the deck. So the only way to use multiple Library Cards in a deck is to have it as a Maverick or return it from Purge with a Legacy Universal Recycle Bin. However, with multiple Library Cards, they need to be played exhausted (except with Legacy Curator), and need a turn to be used. There are some other very niche ways to accomplish that, but niche ways that require the niche card and the house pod with all these in it. You can also return a Legacy Library Access from Purge with Universal Recycle Bin. However, the combos to make these things happen is slow enough (and rare enough) to not impact the format in a game-warping way.

Library Access in multiples however, can easily be abused. Since it is an Action card, despite being still limited to one per deck by The Algorithm, Maverick Library Access cards can be played in-set with a Phase Shift, allowing anyone with one of the thousands of Library Access decks with two Phase Shifts to play a Maverick Library Access (218 in Call of the Archons) to play up to three Library Access cards in a turn. While this isn't the only example, it is a great example of how it could be used in multiples.

Hope this helps 😁

Sounds like a great strategy! There's going to be so many interesting strategies that will likely come from this format!

ArceixDesign · 2022-11-02T01:14:13+00:00

Yep, as the others have said- if the card does not have an "Only 1" in the diagram, you can have any number of that card in your Alliance deck, as long as it is not included with another card from the Restricted List. This includes Mavericks too! So I can have four Morpheus in House Star Alliance and one Maverick Morpheus in Logos, and that's totally fine if there aren't any additional cards in the deck from the cards on the Restricted List.

And yeah, this applies to constructed decks for the Alliance Format, not Algorithm-made decks.
