The bare bones production quality on this one. A big thank you to Zach from Call of Discovery doing most of the heavy lifting in preparing this podcast. An even bigger thank you to the community that has supported us. I (Dan) go into more details on this episode but with current life and world conditions we will be on a hiatus for the time being. If there are topics that pop that we decide to reconvene and record you better be sure that we will do so, but right now things are hectic and unfortunately have to cull certain things to allow for time to take care of the more important things like family and work. 

Thank you all for the ride and the discord is still alive as ever so come hang there to get your Keyforge fix and interact with us and the fine folks that make up the Inner Sanctum.

Today Sir Dan and Sir Alex are joined by Sir Eccoedo THE Glorious You champion. He battled through a 100 person qualifier and then dispatched the top 16 using the following Mass Mutations deck:

In this episode sad and Jakeless, Sir Alex and Sir Dan talk a new Keyforge variant the Sanctumonious discord community has come up with called Unnatural Selection. Also we announce some details regarding "The Glorious You" a new free to enter tournament.

Unnatural Selection Format:

This is an archon format where prior to the deck selection stage a draft takes place to determine the houses your deck must contain. Drafting takes place in pods of 8 people. At the start of each draft the players are each assigned a randmon place in the draft order 1-8. In turn order each player drafts a house that will NOT be present in their archon deck. Each house may not be chosen more than 6 times and you may not ban a house more than once. (So once 6 players have banned Logos 2 seats will have Logos locked in as their pick) Picks are chosen as a snake draft (i've explained below in case your not sure what that is.) The 8th player always picks twice in a row and after their #1 pick the 1st player will double pick. So the turn order goes "1,2,3,4,5,6,7,8,8,7,6,5,4,3,2,1,1...etc"

For the first two round of draft picks each player must draft a unique house. (I.e once a player has banned Logos no other player may ban logos that round) Starting on the 3rd round of picks each player cannot choose a house the player before them has drafted. (I.e 2 seat picks Logos therefore Seat 3 may NOT pick Logos) This process repeats until each player has chosen until each player has drafted 6 houses which will NOT be present in their deck. If any point you are locked into house Mars your last two picks will be instantly locked in to ban Star Alliance and Saurian. If you already have either SA or Saurian banned than your next single pick must be used to ban the remaing house that would cause could cause an impossible house combination. If at any point you are locked into Saurian or SA your last pick is instantly locked in to Mars.

After the draft has completed the players will choose an deck which houses match the 3 houses not banned by their draft picks. Tournament play will the proceed based on organizers choosing

Is it just us or did we just give our initial impressions to Mass Mutation last episode. Nevertheless, it is time for another alliteration filled topic. This time we rapidly react to the announcement of KeyForge's 5th set: Dark Tidings. We talk about the new house, make peace with saying goodbye to Dis, ponder the tide mechanic, and, of course, noodle tremendously over Evil Twin decks. So go ahead and activate your own noodle and FORGE THOSE KEYS!!!

In this episode, Sir Jake, Sir Alex, and Sir Dan give their initial reactions to Mass Mutations. You know we like enhancements in theory, but now we get to talk about how they are working in practice and what it means for keeping decks pristine in their plastic wrap. Some of the knights are even brave enough to take a foray into ranking Mass Mutation houses (one is not ready yet). Finally, we talk about overperforming cards in our initial plays. Did we mention Mass Mutation is here, what are you still doing reading this, press download on this podcast then pop onto TCO to FORGE THOSE KEYS!!!

P.S. you can read Jake's daily article series on opening a box of Mass Mutation one deck at a time for free over on our patreon account, linked below.

In this episode, the Knights say farewell, for now, to Worlds Collide. We do this in the only way the knights no how, by arguing about the worst-designed cards and best-designed cards from the set. Here's a preview, we can't even agree on whether one card is in the top 5 or bottom 5! We hope you enjoy this content from the last set, even while we are now all aboard the Mass Mutation hype train. I think this discussion is a great jumping-off point for framing our future conversations about the brand new set... discussions that will no doubt be centered around FORGIN' THOSE KEYS!!!

At long last, the great Sanctumonius hiatus has come to an end. In this episode, Sir Jake, Sir Alex, and Sir Dan emerge from their pandemic slumber. Listen in as we shake off the grogginess and recount what exactly we've been up to in our non-KeyForge lives. Then, we get right back into form with a beautiful display of classic Sanctumonius inspiration. Finally, this episode concludes with a main topic on how KeyForge fits into our lives these days and into the new normal. Whether you find the conversation insightful or not, I just have to tell you, damn it just feels good to be back and to FORGE THOSE KEYS!!!

If you're still listening after all this time, leave us a comment or review so we know you're still with us!
