Æmber Skies is the eighth standard KeyForge set.

The set was revealed as part of the Grim Reminders Gamefound campaign, was succcesfully crowdfunded in its own campaign in April 2024, and started to ship to backers in early September 2024. It introduces KeyForge's 13th house, Skyborn.

House Rotation

  • New: Skyborn
  • Returning: Dis, Logos
  • Rotated Out: Star Alliance, Unfathomable, Untamed

Hosue Skyborn are a loose confederation of baronies, merchant captains, and pirates who spend most of their lives miles above the surface abroad their prized skyships.[1] They focus on mechanics that reference key color (such as the return of The Red Baron), battleline position, and stealing Æmber.[2]

Dis makes its first return since its initial departure in Dark Tidings (Set 5), and Logos similarly makes its first return since its departure in Winds of Exchange (Set 6). Star Alliance and Unfathomable rotate out for the first time since their introduction to the game in Worlds Collide (Set 3) and Dark Tidings (Set 5) respectively. Untamed rotates out after a single set visit in Grim Reminders (Set 7).

New Set Mechanics

House Enhancement

A new type of enhancement can result in a card being enhanced with an additional House bonus icon, causing that card to belong to multiple houses simultaneously.

Skybeasts

Skybeasts are rare creatures that can appear in Æmber Skies decks. Similar to Anomalies and Revenants before, these can appear in any house. More than 20 Skybeasts are present in the set.[3]
