I ordered the starter set. It's not bad value for money on the Internet since I paid about $33 for it and get 2 $10 decks, rules, tokens and 2 non-unique decks. Not a bad value I think. Not necessary, but not a bad price I figure.

I think the real idea behind the starter decks in the starter set are that you can learn them to be able to walk new players (or 2 new players) through the game vs "open deck, stares at cards, have no idea what synergies are and am expected to run new player through a good game".. lol... hopeful, FF will also have some logic behind the starter decks to hit the major parts of the game and show off 6 factions... hopefully

Remember it's not impossible for no 2 decks to be the same, because although the decks are somewhat random, I'm sure there are also rules applied to the system for deck creation, and one of those rules sounds like it's that the deck must be unique. If two decks are alike, it sounds like it would be a manufacturing error. it sounds to me like the system is created for this to not happen.

@@kaibe5241 Although since it's made with an algorithm, it's likely that nobody will have a deck that's super amazing. There just might be a deck that is a couple cards better than others. This would make it a deck with a bit of an edge over others, but I don't think it will make it a super amazing deck. Then you have to realize they'll come out with another release so the last release May not matter that much anymore. Or if something was a little overpowered, they could make it obsolete with another release possibly. I think the game will come down to skill, especially if you're trading decks every game in a tournament. Plus you'd have to have the good deck be in the hands of a good player.

Thank you for making this video. I have the same feeling hearing about this game and getting the starter set. The prospect of getting a completely unique set from a pack won me over, before I fully understood what the game was. Well that and the $10 price tag. 😊 I think that's the most appealing aspect of this game to me, that I don't have to buy multiple core sets in order to play or make my deck more viable, like in most LCGs. Plus don't have to worry about haggling prices or card trades for singles. 😆 I have a few questions, when will Keyforge be released? When might we be able to purchase tokens through your website?

Just started playing and I love the game so far. The big problem without card games is the cost to get a decent deck, I can see that happening here sooner or later especially if the game gets bigger than it is but as of right now it seems pretty great. But I'm guessing if the game gets as big as other card games that's going to happen here too.

This is correct, but I'm really curious as to . I'm super jazzed about this game, but I'm getting a bit of a No Man's Sky ambition vibe about it. Infinite amount of unique decks? I just don't see how that's possible. Will you find another deck that's 99.9% the same deck as yours, but with only one measly card different? I don't know the number of different cards they have so far, but I would imagine that it would have to be the case as even with say 900 different cards, you'd eventually run out of possible deck combinations, right?? Especially if they're building decks strategically and not willy nilly.

That's correct. You will not be able to mix and match. The name of the deck is not only on the back of the deck, but also on the playable side of the card. This makes using card sleeves to hide the fact you tweaked your deck impossible. Plus, the deck can only be 36 cards.

Man, that's cool this game was made by the guy who made magic, but the artwork is not nearly as cool. I was playing this game, at a shop, and then I looked over at the magic cards which I haven't played in Forever. The magic cards were just so cool and exciting it just got my heart pumping. Then I looked over at the key Forge cards.. But I suppose this could change over time. I really liked a couple of the Martians. But that's about it. I really like the one where he's got smoke going into his nose and he just looks like he's got some evil plan. Those aliens are cute. But that's about the extent of it.

I'm very concerned about the business model in competitive play. The gameplay looks solid, but since there is in fact a limited cardpool, there will be a "meta" of the most competitive decks. Competitive players will be forced to buy massive number of packs in order to get decks that contain enough of the meta cards to be competitive... it's basically lootboxes taken to the real world.

I was also afraid about it, but there was a list of official competetive formats, and most of them creatively sidesteped this issue. For example, in one format players play against each other, then swap decks in next game, then if it's tie, they bid handicap (chains) on deck. So, it's more important how you play with your deck, not how objectively strong it is.

@Yinyanyeow
@Yinyanyeow 6 жыл бұрын
It's sad for me to say it but... I think I'd stick with normal TCGs than peek at this. And there are several reasons. 1) This might be a CCG but it's clear if you ever want a new deck it will be another 10 and another 10 and you might end up with nearly all the same cards as the last one without even knowing and those decks stay stuck together like planetary magnets: the moment they come together...nearly impossible to get apart. 2) Even if this is from the same person that has crafted the most well-known card game in existence... the gameplay seems too simple for him. Only calling out one of the houses and playing all of that house in one turn seems like it's just giving people Agro a lot without paying which feels like the battle is an afterthought. (likely is) And the fact that the goal is to get the 3 keys which are only 18 points in groups of 6 makes it that you aren't doing much to gain other than either stealing or gathering and not affecting the opposing soul that you are against. 3) This feels like all of them are nitpicks but when the only customization is through getting a different deck means that being really competitive can get out of control because one is purchasing so many or buying from the second-hand market to get at the top of the game. Which can make someone a killing and likely it won't be the ones who make the game. So excuse me for thinking Mr. Garfield might have goofed up on this one but even the father of all games might have flaws. This is kind of a rant from an old card gamer but if this is the 'future' of cardboard experiences, I might wanna say no.
