Archons Corner

Today on Archons Corner, we’re doing the thing every KeyForge player secretly wants and publicly argues about: ranking every KeyForge house so far.

From classic powerhouses like Logos, Dis, Shadows, and Untamed to newer troublemakers like Ekwidon, Geistoid, Skyborn, Redemption, and Ouboros, we’re putting every house under the microscope and deciding who deserves glory, who deserves forgiveness, and who deserves to be launched directly into the discard pile.

Expect hot takes, bad memories, questionable logic, and at least one ranking that will probably make the comment section catch fire.

Are we right? Prob...

In this episode of Archons Corner, we break down the shift to the Swiss tournament format, what it means for competitive play, and whether this is a genius move… or just another questionable decision. Is this better for the game, or are we about to watch chaos unfold?

We’re talking strategy, fairness, player experience—and why this change might completely flip the Vault Tour meta on its head.

Grab your decks, because this one gets spicy.

Strap in for sixty minutes of absolute, unadulterated auditory chaos.
