Card Anatomy

Basic cards

KeyForge uses a range of cards. A KeyForge deck typically has an Archon Card and 36 cards for play with creatures, upgrades, artifacts and action cards. In the fifth expansion "Dark Tidings" KeyForge decks came with a The Tide card. In conjunction with the release of Dark Tidings two print-and-play scenarios were published that had a Keyraken and High Tide/Low Tide card.
