KEYFORGE is the innovative card game where every deck you purchase is a completely unique combination of cards! No other player will ever wield the same KeyForge deck.
Wielding a unique 36-card deck, assuming the role of a powerful Archon, players seeks to maneuver creatures and artifacts from three allied houses to accumulate enough Æmber to forge the vital Vault Keys. The player to first forge three keys wins!
The kits arrived on Monday, 11th March 2024, so we now have more information and can flesh things out a little:
As expected, the guidelines allow for different pairing/cut structures (than 2LO) more suited to the likely smaller turn out for these in-store events.
Each Store Championship Kit contains: 3 sets of 3 metal ‘Vault Key’ tokens, and 6 Store Championship decks, plus some ‘Haunted / Not Haunted’ indicator cards.
I, personally, don’t think it is sensible to describe the Store Championship Kit as an 8-player kit. It would be better described as either a 3 event kit or a 6-player kit.
Their intention is clearly for us to run one tournament for each of the Archon, Alliance, and Sealed formats.
All rounds are 45 minutes, one game. Finals are Best of 3. Note: the current Ghost Galaxy end of game tie-break structure is very different from the original FFG KeyForge tie-breaking system.
Event Structure
SEALED – Winds of Exchange Saturday, 16th March 2024 (11:00am Start)
11:00 – 11:30 … Decks
11:45 – 12:30 … Round 1 – Swiss
12:45 – 13:30 … Round 2 – Swiss
13:45 – 14:30 … Round 3 – Swiss
14:45 – 15:30 … Semi-Final (Top-4)
15:45 – 16:30 … FINAL
ARCHON – Winds of Exchange Saturday, 16th March 2024 (4:00pm Start)
16:00 – 16:45 … Round 1 – Swiss
17:00 – 17:45 … Round 2 – Swiss
18:00 – 18:45 … Round 3 – Swiss
19:00 – 19:45 … Semi-Final (Top-4)
20:00 – 21:00 … FINAL
Tournament structure and tie-breaks will be confirmed at the start of each event, as everything is very much based on the number of players present.
Assumptions:
The total player count will be no more than 12 players.
The event will play at least a little quicker than the timetable above indicates.
The Final will (almost certainly) be best-of-3, and probably longer than 45 minutes.
There’s likley to be some overlap between the Sealed (Finals) and the Archon (1st Round) tournaments. Depending on how things play out, we may simply award a 1st round bye to the finalists of Sealed event, in order to keep everything moving and everyone playing.
We’re trying to squeeze as much as possible into one day, whilst limiting downtime for players as much as possible. In an ideal world these events would be much more spread out and attract far more players. As it is, I’ll be very happy to get into double-digits and suspect that smallish numbers will help to keep the event moving.
Costs
£30 for SEALED, includes 1x Prerelease ‘Winds of Exchange’ Kit (containing 3 Archon decks), and also covers entry into the later Archon (16th March, 4pm), Alliance (14th April, 11am), and ??? (14th April, 4pm) Store Championship series events.
£15 to play in the Clifton Road Games KeyForge Store Championship Series 2024 (if you are not playing in the intial Sealed event).
The first 12 players to sign-up (and play) will receive one of the KeyForge ‘Store Championship 2024’ decks. The metal Vault Keys will be prizes for 1st place in each of the events.
Additional Plans
ALLIANCE – Winds of Exchange / Grim Reminders (to be determined) Sunday, 14th April 2024 (11:00am Start)
11:00 – 11:30 … Decks
11:45 – 12:30 … Round 1 – Swiss
12:45 – 13:30 … Round 2 – Swiss
13:45 – 14:30 … Round 3 – Swiss
14:45 – 15:30 … Semi-Final (Top-4)
15:45 – 16:30 … FINAL
ARCHON – Grim Reminders (or possibly a REVERSAL format event) Saturday, 14th April 2024 (4:00pm Start)
16:00 – 16:45 … Round 1 – Swiss
17:00 – 17:45 … Round 2 – Swiss
18:00 – 18:45 … Round 3 – Swiss
19:00 – 19:45 … Semi-Final (Top-4)
20:00 – 21:00 … FINAL
NOTE: No hard and fast plans for the 14th April at the moment and it will depend very much on impressions/feedback from the Saturday, 16th March, event.
