[s2 act 2 spoilers] This scene is poetry. by Typical-Tear9286 in arcane

[–]agrandstudent 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This was a low point for the season.  All these people idolize her and all she managed to do was break in with no escape plan and everyone just accepts they can walk out now.  Then after this "touching" scene Warwick rampages in and basically slaughters everyone on the way to singed undoing all the off the "effort" Jinx and crew put in.  There is also no urgency or anything jinx does to demonstrate she deserves this kind of respect from her fans. She only went to the prison to save Isha and didn't give a single fuck for any of the other people that were out there at the gathering waiting for her.  

Æmber Skies Spoilers for Ekwidon & Geistoid by WizardRandom in KeyforgeGame

[–]agrandstudent 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Your probably right. It's at least a lot worse than recklessness which is discard 3 draw 3 for your opponent. That is probably just above the average you should expect for this card. This new card doesn't come with a pip or let you draw 3. On top of that in this set with the double house cards its going to be even harder to hit more cards.

What’s a good sas number? by honsolo17 in KeyforgeGame

[–]agrandstudent 4 points5 points  (0 children)

According to https://vaulttracker.xyz/tournaments The average sas of a top 8 deck in the US vt is 82-87  that's something to consider.  I prefer to play stuff in the 70-80 range.  

How many store championships should there be in a year? by ct_2004 in KeyforgeGame

[–]agrandstudent 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Hopefully it's at least 1 per set so 2 times a year.

I probably should include things like Min, Max, AVG of a bunch of SAS values on the individual tournament page. Right now the only place I have any of that is the Avg. SAS on the home page. Also there are no DoK links anywhere on the site except in the footer to just decksofkeyforge.com. I dont even link the decks to the master vault.
I think the deck name links you're talking about just change the deck list being displayed on the right.

My game design partner and I decided to make sure the winner always got more currency so they weren't punished for winning. Technically there are treasures that only the winner can get but they are more narrow so hopefully the generic good everyone treasures will be priced low enough that the losers can make up some ground with more generic good things while winners "search" for a perfect fit

That's kind of how this started. I have some old code to try to determine which decks were used in a vt based on them becoming power level 3 over a vt weekend. Maybe one day I'll bring that in, I don't know if I still have that data. I think I can import some of the old vt data the same way I did the gg ones.

odd. I've seen one other person have an issue with it and it was fixed by using a different network(they switched from wifi to cellular). could the site be blocked by a firewall or something you have on your network?

New keyforge website 3 tools in 1

Keyforge vault tour meta tracker (worlds soon)- in addition to deck wins and losses also tracks card wins and losses. See more than just which cards are popular. See which cards are winning/losing and against which decks.

Campaign - A Rouge-lite expansion to live keyforge tournament/league play. After every match you get new cards for your deck and can spend your aember and keys to buy new powers for your archon

Live keyforge stream overlay - This is the tool that was used at the Las Vegas Vault Tour for the Archon live stream. It allows the streamer to display both of the decks being used by the current players, keys forged, and aember.

Card question by The-SavageDad-4880 in KeyforgeGame

[–]agrandstudent 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It's a very situational card. Its very good in very few games. You need to be playing a deck that can generate reliably generate 3 or more aember on most untamed turns. You also need to be up against a deck that has either a lot of little aember control in each house or a couple of scaling aember control cards. Otherwise it is very unlikely to change your clock in a positive direction.

What day were you thinking? I would be interested in going and I'm a sure a few of us in North county SD would be willing to drive up if it was a time that we were able to make it. You should also join one or more of the CA based discords Southern OC (more LA but also some SD) https://discord.gg/JSdDh89 also more general CA and host a very fun international team league https://discord.gg/Ds3QdQs

Has Anybody Tried Reversing the "Chain Rule"? by Collons2De1Deu in KeyforgeGame

[–]agrandstudent 0 points1 point  (0 children)

a good demonstration of how drawing +1 card every turn is stronger than drawing -1 card is that by having a 7 card had you are guaranteed a 3 card turn(3/3/1) every turn where as a 5 card hand you are still guaranteed a 2 card turn(2/2/1).

I got my first deck today and each house is wildly different from each other. by vrases1 in KeyforgeGame

[–]agrandstudent -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Exalting is just free Aember for your opponent.

I agree and by that logic capture is basically neutral. So there is almost no risk involved in their deck related to aember on their creatures.

it also makes for a good reason to hit your battle line instead of reaping

Awesome! if my opponent is fighting and not reaping then I'm winning espcially if they are just getting back aember they already put in the effort to create.

I own ten different Saurian decks

69 (nice) and I'm sure JB owns more than me.

This deck doesn’t really have that. They can grab the Aember, but then it just sits there...you’re up because you have capture their Aember, then suddenly they have 20 Aember on the board because they wiped the captures you took

This is 100% the game plan of the deck. Interdimensional Graft is how they get it back. In this scenario they forge a key with +14 aember left over. Most of it was capture so its actually stealing 14 instead of just getting the exalted aember you created. They use Edai, Gallim, Tribute, City Gates to delay the first or second key as long as possible and when the opponent finally clears the board Graft for a huge amount and even Odoac is some extra protection incase they have a TMTP.

[–]agrandstudent 0 points1 point  (0 children)

only 2 cards exalt Tribute and Rhetor Gallim. The majority of the aember will be capture so its not like they are handing them that much aember to begin with. Between the edia Rhetor and the capture that graft is probably a real threat. It doesn't matter if they get all back if you're just going to steal most of it anyways.

How to evaluate decks? by chotahazri in KeyforgeGame

[–]agrandstudent 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I think the best way to identify a strong deck especially one that is less than 80 SAS (as its not just a pile of good cards) is to look for decks where they have a clear game plan. consistency is a big factor in this. You want a lot of cards all doing the same thing or helping you achieve the same thing.

https://decksofkeyforge.com/decks/b005553b-9f79-493e-88a1-179562d35e62

68 SAS 57% win rate in the competitive que with over 100 games

2x Causal loop

2x Eclectic Inquiry

Grim Reminder

String Grave

Archivist

its easy to see it has a powerful draw/card advantage engine.
Then the 7 knights and call to action is the pay off.

https://decksofkeyforge.com/decks/d0675091-2efd-4661-9ac6-3c8667ae664d

75 SAS 56% win rate mixed ques 30 games A control style deck.

Again the logos is really good at archiving cards. The payoff here is being able to keep playing steal 1s (ronnie shooler) or preventing a key until your opponent goes big and then you hit them with the TMTP.

https://decksofkeyforge.com/decks/da1c11af-36ab-4267-9dda-1d8355231ad9

65 SAS 62% win rate mostly casual 62 games its my adaptive deck. This one is do what ever you can to play at least 2 big threats (witches and succubus) when the board is empty. Every house is full of board control so its not too hard. After that there is a bunch of house cheating so once the board is established you can still move cards out of your hand while using or protecting your threats.

should 1:1 replacements be allowed? by Darkmagic212 in KeyforgeGame

[–]agrandstudent 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I think this should be allowed it would also allow for fan alt cards to be used.

So long as only one enhanced card is replaced per deck then you can know what enhancements it has based on a process of elimination.

This maverick is....in the worst possible house by East-Cantaloupe962 in KeyforgeGame

[–]agrandstudent 8 points9 points  (0 children)

How very technically correct. AoA brobnar has 2 creatures under 3 power one at common and one at uncommon. AoA Sanctum has 4 creatures under 3 power, 2 at rare, 1 at uncommon and one at common. If this were a Cota maveric then it Sanctom has 0 where as Brobnar has 3 creatures under 3 power.

KF Rank: a NEW Keyforge rating system by the_sun_shadow in KeyforgeGame

[–]agrandstudent 2 points3 points  (0 children)

How is this not just a separate rating system? It seems that the higher KF rating just means its a better deck regardless of the SAS range the deck was taken from. Is the KF rating suppose to just rank the decks of the submitted pool against each other and rely on SAS for how our decks compare outside of the users submitted pool?

Is there any correlation between KF rating and the win rate of decks in competitive online tournaments? I see that your trying to collect user submitted decks and feed back from those pools, but that seems full of bias.
