Step into the groundbreaking world of KeyForge Discovery, a fast-paced, ever-changing card game that redefines everything you know about strategy, uniqueness, and deckbuilding. Created by Fantasy Flight Games and carried forward by Ghost Galaxy, KeyForge introduces players to the artificial world of the Crucible—a massive, mysterious construct formed from countless planets across the galaxy. In this realm, civilizations, species, and technologies merge into a chaotic yet captivating reality where the secrets of the universe lie hidden. Your mission? To forge three keys before your opponent does and unlock those secrets in the process.

With its innovative unique deck game system, KeyForge Discovery is a perfect entry point for newcomers and an exciting new challenge for experienced keyforgers.

Whether you're opening your first sealed deck or hunting for rare Discovery decks, this is your invitation to explore the next evolution of the KeyForge card game.

What Is KeyForge?

Unlike traditional collectible or trading card games, KeyForge is a unique deck game, meaning no two decks in existence are the same. Every Archon deck is algorithmically generated, ensuring a one-of-a-kind combination of cards, house alliances, and strategy potential. From your very first KeyForge Discovery deck, you’ll experience a playstyle that is yours alone—no deckbuilding, no boosters, just pure strategic fun right out of the box.

Your deck is more than a collection of cards. It’s your identity in the game—your house alliances, your token creatures, your battle tactics. And with the KeyForge Discovery set, this identity becomes more accessible and engaging than ever before.

KeyForge Discovery – Designed for Discovery

The KeyForge Discovery set is specifically crafted for new and casual players. This isn’t just another KeyForge set—it’s a full-fledged introduction into the world of keyforging. Featuring a curated selection of over 300 classic KeyForge cards, Discovery decks emphasize simplicity, intuitive play, and quick immersion.

These decks limit the use of advanced keywords and overly complex combos while preserving the thrilling decision-making and fast-paced gameplay that makes KeyForge a fan favorite. If you've been curious about KeyForge, or if you're looking to bring a friend into the world of unique decks, KeyForge: Discovery is the perfect start.

What’s Inside a KeyForge Discovery Starter Set?

Each KeyForge Discovery 1-Player Starter Set includes:

• 1 unique Archon deck drawn from the KeyForge Discovery set

• A complete set of tokens for tracking Æmber, damage, keys, and more

• Full rules reference and quick-start guide

• Everything you need for a full play experience against another KeyForge player

With a sealed deck format and Discovery decks readily playable out of the box, new players can jump straight into a game with no prior customization or knowledge needed.

How to Play: A Quick Overview

The core mechanic of KeyForge is simple but endlessly deep: the first player to forge three keys wins. You gain Æmber through playing cards, activating creatures, and completing actions. Once you have enough Æmber, you may forge a key at the beginning of your turn—if your opponent doesn’t find a way to stop you first.

Each deck consists of cards from three houses—distinct factions with unique playstyles. In KeyForge Discovery, many decks include well-known favorites like Star Alliance, Logos, and others. Every turn, you choose one house to activate, and you can only play or use cards of that house during that turn. It’s a dynamic decision-making system that keeps players engaged with every draw.

Use your token creatures to protect your board, disrupt your opponent, and discover the most efficient path to victory. When combined with the unique deck format, the result is an incredibly fun and challenging game with infinite replay value.

What Makes KeyForge Discovery Special?

Unlike previous KeyForge sets, KeyForge Discovery doesn’t attempt to overwhelm players with expansive rules or obscure card interactions. Instead, the focus is squarely on accessibility and excitement. These decks are designed for smooth integration into casual settings, organized sealed deck events, and friendly battles at home.

Some of the standout features of KeyForge Discovery include:

• Unique Archon Decks: Each deck is unique—not just in card composition, but in deck name, art layout, and house combination.

• Streamlined Rules: Reduced keyword complexity makes the game easier to learn and faster to play.

• Ideal for New Players: Great for teaching younger players, family members, or friends new to card games.

• No Deckbuilding Required: Start playing instantly—no need to tweak or tune your deck.

With the Ghost Galaxy logo now appearing on the packaging, KeyForge Discovery also represents the first major product under the stewardship of Ghost Galaxy, the publisher that took over KeyForge from Fantasy Flight Games.

Discover the Crucible

The artificial world of the Crucible is like nothing else in card gaming. It is an artificial world built from fragments of countless planets, cultures, and civilizations. Its laws are unknowable. Its scale is unimaginable. Its stories are infinite.

In the KeyForge story, players take on the role of Archons—powerful beings guiding their followers to unearth secrets, battle rivals, and unlock the hidden potential of the Crucible. Each match you play adds another chapter to this tale of discovery, strategy, and identity.

Whether you’re piloting a deck filled with alien scientists from Logos, daring spacefarers from the Star Alliance, or brute force warriors from Brobnar, the Crucible always has something new to reveal.

A Community of Keyforging

One of the greatest strengths of KeyForge is its passionate community. From local stores to global tournaments, keyforging has cultivated a thriving ecosystem of players eager to test new decks and strategies.

Want to test your skill in a sealed deck tournament? Ready to challenge friends to a casual match with your favorite Archon deck? Or maybe you're just here to discover what KeyForge is all about? No matter your playstyle, KeyForge Discovery has a place for you.

And thanks to the KeyForge app and player registration systems, it’s easy to track your collection, organize your games, and see how your unique decks perform over time.

For Collectors and Casuals Alike

Although KeyForge Discovery is targeted at new players, experienced keyforgers won’t want to miss it. These discovery decks are eligible for competitive play and can be registered just like decks from earlier sets. Whether you’re looking for a clean, simplified deck to teach others or hoping to discover that elusive powerhouse deck with perfect synergy, KeyForge Discovery delivers both.

Even the most seasoned keyforger can benefit from having a few Discovery decks on hand—for testing, teaching, or simply enjoying the KeyForge game from a new perspective.

Purchase and Stock Information

KeyForge Discovery is now available through local game stores and online retailers, often sold in display boxes, starter kits, or single deck formats. Many stores also offer the starter set as part of their add ons during pre-orders or event campaigns.

Given the high demand and limited print run of early KeyForge Discovery decks, fans are encouraged to act quickly. Once stock runs out, restocks may take time depending on the Ghost Galaxy release cycle. If you're unable to find it locally, keep an eye on official KeyForge channels and campaign updates.
