KeyForge: Worlds Collide Deluxe Deck

This Keyforge: Worlds Collide Deluxe Archon Deck contains one Archon Deck, three Key Tokens, one Chain Tracker Card and Token, 18 Æmber Tokens, 25 Damage Tokens, and 24 Status Counters.

Keyforge is the unique-deck card-duelling system from Magic the Gathering creator Richard Garfield. Keyforge takes the core collectable card game mechanic and turning it on its head by utilising pre-constructed decks, rather than decks you build yourself. While some may miss the exciting (but expensive) hunt for that one card they need to complete their deck, Keyforge provides for those who want a different path.

Each deck is completely unique. So, while you may have similar cards to other decks, you will never have the exact same deck as someone else. This is achieved through some mathematical voodoo that maintains the balance somehow. In the event of any balance issues, ‘chains’ provide a way of limiting the power of strong cards.

The aim of the game is to be the first to forge three keys. You doing this by acquiring æmber and then using that to forge a key. There are various ways to gain æmber, through cards or using creatures to ‘reap’. Card play is interesting too - each deck is made up of three houses and cards in that deck belong to one of those houses. At the start of your turn, you must choose a house and then you can only use cards of that house. This stops you from building super-powered plays too easily - but it can be done with some planning. Creatures can attack and defend as well as reap and it can often be difficult to choose what to do. Card powers are varied and interesting including altering the cost for you and your opponent to forge keys.

Worlds Collide is the third Keyforge outing and fully playable against all past decks. It offers new keywords to learn and apply as well as rotating out the Mars and Sanctum houses and replacing them with the Saurian Republic and the Grand Star Alliance. Have no fear though as these houses may return in future releases!
