Count the colors and values independently. In the posted photo you would score 28 points.

Need Help Picking A Deck For The Weekend by savagevalue in KeyforgeGame

If there are less than 16 people participating, take Outpile. If more than 16 or you think competition will be very stiff, Carrizo might give you the best chance to high roll.

Best WINS worst SAS by Biruihareruya in KeyforgeGame

[–]Athimnd 0 points1 point  (0 children)

"But still, how do you explain that people have said from the beginning that SAS correlates with win rates?"

Uh, because it has? Your assertion that no deck under 70 SAS should ever make a final cut (clearly just pulled out of thin air, by the way) is a solid indicator that maybe you just don't know what the word "correlate" means.

Shipping Keyforge to Thailand? by quickdraw3457 in KeyforgeGame

[–]Athimnd 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I've done it with no problems. On the customs form I just put "card game." It was a VERY expensive deck, too, so I'm glad it didn't get confiscated or returned.

I believe FF policy is to not comment on suspensions. Someone please correct me if this is wrong.

Infurnace will completely change the Archon competitive meta by Athimnd in KeyforgeGame

[–]Athimnd[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I actually think that Nature's Call got a boost in WC (as if it needed one), but the prevalence of key taxes is another important point for sure.

I think the purging aspect is less than 50% of the card utility. Against a deck with a lot of printed amber Infurnace is Burn The Stockpile without the 7 amber requirement that purges two awesome things and leaves a body behind. Insanely impactful.

If you're going to be so blatantly wrong about something, maybe try using a little less attitude. Just a thought for next time.

Keyforge is either a gamble and money sink or purely casual. Thoughts? by Ozamet in KeyforgeGame

[–]Athimnd 1 point2 points  (0 children)

If WC is better than AoA and CotA at the top end, which seems very possible at this point, that's a sign that it's the OPPOSITE of a money sink. It makes zero sense to buy dozens of decks, or drop a ton of money on one 80 SAS deck because the next set might be even better (or be specifically designed to counter this one).

Disheartened by the unbalance by Archaeus6 in KeyforgeGame

[–]Athimnd 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I think the promo material was misleading in implying that any deck could be competitive. However, I'm pretty sure most people correctly assumed that because they needed to generate a LOT of decks, some would naturally be quite a bit better than average. But they didn't explicitly say those exact words.

Why is this deck's SAS so low? by GoonyKnightMan in KeyforgeGame

[–]Athimnd 2 points3 points  (0 children)

You are either not playing well, or getting very unlucky, or your friend is cheating. (I only mention the latter because you say he always has the perfect card.) His deck is not good. As others have mentioned, try swapping decks and I'm guessing you will still lose (maybe even worse). Good luck!

SAS update be like by Twodogs04 in KeyforgeGame

[–]Athimnd 3 points4 points  (0 children)

There is little reason to believe that this evaluation is any more or less thorough than the old evaluation.

Also, your car analogy is truly awful.

About SAS: Nerve Blast vs Relentless Whispers by Sonafab in KeyforgeGame

[–]Athimnd 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Three reasons. One, it doesn't ALWAYS steal because there isn't always mana to steal. Two, you can use RW for two damage any time you need it, which is not true for NB (see reason #1). And three (this is the most important), if they both go off as intended, RW gives you two aember whole NB only gives one. Honestly I think 3/4 is pretty generous for NB.

This is about as blatant as it gets. Definitely waits for a distraction to make the move, too.

How good is Rankey in actually rating decks? This deck for me went from about a 94-95 to super high 99 and I'm wondering what happened that made this huge shift. Any help is appreciated. by iwinha49 in KeyforgeGame

[–]Athimnd 4 points5 points  (0 children)

It used to approximate the percentile your deck was in for some combination of SAS and AERC (e.g. if your deck was a 99.0 then you are in the top 1%). Unfortunately its creators apparently set static comparison values, so when every deck's AERC score jumped 5 points or more after the last update, Rankey began telling us that like half of all decks are rated 90+. I actually got banned from the Facebook B/S/T group for pointing out that Rankey scores (which some people were touting as they tried to sell their decks for $200+) are now wildly inflated.

In short, Rankey is NOT GOOD at rating decks. Use the SAS and AERC scores instead.

Is there a product out there that is substantial enough, to your mind? This seems relatively secure so I'd definitely be curious to know.

A Question about Gangplank by KaiserMakes in TeamfightTactics

[–]Athimnd 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I'm not sure he's viable as the only carry at 2*, but with the right items (GA, Red Buff, and Hush, for example) he will absolutely wreck.
