We did play Solforge Fusion beforehand, which made Keyforge's gameplay even better. Solforge Fusion isn't a bad game, but the bookkeeping on it is miserable. Every time you play a card, you have to search your side deck for the next higher level version of that card and pop it in your discard, and then your spells/creatures get banished once they resolve/die, respectively. It means you're constantly riffling through your set aside cards and not paying attention to the game, and you're getting five new cards each turn so you have to process a lot of new information every turn. Definitely don't get it if you're thinking Richard Garfield was trying to do something similar to Keyforge.

I do have to say that all the bookkeeping you mention becomes second nature after a few plays. It kinda reminds me of Netrunner where initially calculating the breaker/ice strength compared to credits seems like an impossible mental feat, but eventually it becomes effortless and you just automatically do it while thinking about something else.

Looks like the game is getting another set that was crowdfunded in like 15 minutes so I guess KeyForge ain’t dying off quite yet. I haven’t bought the new set but the new spooky themed faction in this upcoming set looks cool (has a discard theme and discard-pile-based trigger similar to Magic’s Threshold)

Honestly, it’s not gonna last long based off how OP is going.

People are buying the product and are willing to fill out events but retailers have little to no interest. Maybe they’ll buy a bit of product to sell but unless their events coordinator has a soft spot for the game, they aren’t making room for it over Magic, Pokemon, Lorcana, Yugioh, Digimon, Flesh and Blood, etc.

Ghost Galaxy also isn’t putting any effort into convincing them either. Their efforts into OP has been strictly towards their commitment to World Championship, but locals is pretty much dead with zero support.

You still literally can't buy the most recent set and they're announcing two new ones. Lorcana is doing this too. Vaporware TCGs are the new hotness.
