==Semi-official Variants==
These variants were announced for use in competitions that were postponed; Fantasy Flight did not release official rules for them.
===2-deck elimination===
This is a new sub-variant introduced for the [[VaultWarrior|VaultWarrior]] series, where it will be used on the 2nd day of all Qualifier events. Players bring two decks (each from a different [[Sets|set]]) and before every round each player chooses one of two decks from their opponent to play against; the other deck is eliminated from that round. After both players choose a deck to eliminate, they then play using the Adaptive, Best of 3 or Reversal variant, depending on the event.
===Team play===
Although initially not part of official KeyForge Organized Play, team play has quickly grown in popularity and was acknowledged by Fantasy Flight Games when it was chosen to be the official format of the first [[World Championships|World Championships]] event.
Players form teams of three players, which then play three simultaneous matches against an opposing team using standard KeyForge rules. Players on the same team sit side by side and table talk between teammates is allowed and encouraged. Different formats and variants can be used for team play, including different variants for different players within a team. Sometimes, restrictions are placed on the number of decks that can contain a house within a team.
Currently the most popular version of team play includes a different variant for each player and designated player positions within a team: Player 1 from each team plays with their own deck. Player 2 from each team plays reversal. Player 3 bids chains to choose which deck they'll play.
Official team play rules have not yet been published by Fantasy Flight Games.
