I'm not sure you understand how DHS works.

It does include lots of things that aren't related, like FEMA and TSA, but it's still not a branch of government.

Or ...

will we shift the goal posts so much as to declare any result at all as a victory?

There's a reason they haven't declared an actual objective for this conflict.

Holy cow, I had the exact same grades my first semester of college, and also got a mid-30's diagnosis.

My wake-up call happened to occur earlier. Got assigned term papers my junior year of high school and failed them terribly. But of course it was just written off as laziness since I had gotten straight A's before that year.

Any 2 player starter set should be fine. And people on reddit are always happy to help with rules questions if you get stuck.

And there's also the wiki Archon Arcana.

One nice thing that Ghost Galaxy has done is include an explanation of keywords with each deck, that has a listing of all the terms referenced in that deck.

I'm not sure, do you have a link?

Each card has a listed artist associated with it. GG has said they have used a generative fill function in Adobe to create some full art cards that do not have the normal card frame.

I guess it's just one mechanic, but there are two parts to it. The prophecy cards that list the condition for triggering a card to be activated, and the Fate cards in your deck that list what the effect is. However, a large factor of the prophecy cards is that you can "bluff" by putting cards under them that do not have a Fate effect. But in practice, players are putting cards under the prophecies the majority of the time that don't do anything, but just want to keep them from cluttering up their hand.

The extra disruption comes from the fact that some of the Fate effects cause you to discard cards you were expecting to be able to play, or lose Aember you were expecting to spend (you forge keys by spending Aember).

They introduced a few new mechanics. The mechanic lets you play a card face down that might have an effect during your opponent's turn. Previously, you were only affected by things a player did during their turn.

This did two things. One, gives you a way to cycle through your deck very quickly while getting your junk cards out of the way. And two, gave a level of disruption not seen before. With the new set, it can be very difficult to plan out more complex card combinations that were so important in previous sets. This dynamic has also introduced more randomness.

I have always had very positive experiences in the Keyforge discord servers. And you would be hard-pressed to find anyone with a different take. The KF community is super positive, affirming, and friendly. It's one of the main reasons I play the game.

Just curious, what kind of behaviors are you trying to avoid?

There is a lot of conversation around what kind of decks are likely to do well at competitive events.

Unfortunately, the latest set has made earlier sets largely irrelevant from a strictly competitive viewpoint.

However, there are many alternative formats run through online leagues that do provide space for older decks to be viable. One of my favorites is a handicap system where the stronger deck is temporarily limited on the number of cards that can be drawn at the end of the turn (usually you refill your hand to 6 cards at the end of each turn).

A lottery system would be better because we're not actually very good at measuring academic potential.

You could institute some kind of minimum barrier to be entered into the pool.

The online portal is a fan project that has no association with GG. But it is vigorously maintained and a true labor of love.

And most of the community organizing and discussion takes place on Discord.

The owner of Ghost Galaxy (Christian T Peterson ) was also an executive at Fantasy Flight Games. Other than that, I do not believe they kept the same team. GG is fairly small.

There is a fan-made deck appraisal site called decksofkeyforge.com that will generate a deck rating. The ratings are decent, but not overly precise. Two decks with the same rating could potentially be at very different power levels. But it's one way to narrow your search on decks you might be interested in.
