House redesign

  
Brobnar
Brobnar is the fighting house, thematically inspired by Norse mythology and warrior culture. Giants and Goblins, along with powerful effects that enhance and reward fighting and destroying enemy creatures. Unlike many other houses, Æmber control is primarily achieved through Æmber destruction (instead of capturing or stealing).

Examples of typical Brobnar cards are Ganger Chieftain, Loot the Bodies, Grump Buggy and Pile of Skulls. Uniquely, in Worlds Collide all common Giant creatures also have a more powerful Mega variant.

With limited potential for Æmber gain and Æmber control, Brobnar wasn't a powerhouse in any of the sets.
Full list of Brobnar cards

  
Dis
Dis is the disruption house, with an infernal theme embodied by Demons and Imps. Preventing players from choosing a house, from drawing or playing cards, giving chains, discarding and purging cards are all common ways Dis can control the game.

Some of the most powerful cards in KeyForge are in Dis: Control the Weak, Ember Imp, Gateway to Dis, Collar of Subordination and Infurnace.

Dis has proven to be a staple of many competitive decks, especially in Call of the Archons.

Logos
Inspired by scientific and technological themes, Logos is the efficiency house. Drawing and archiving are the most prevalent mechanics in house Logos. Along with deck manipulation and allowing playing cards not from the active house, it brings consistency to decks more than any other house. Library Access, Mother, Wild Wormhole, Interdimensional Graft and EDAI “Edie” 4x4 are some of the most popular and iconic Logos cards that helped Logos be among the best houses in each set.

Mars
Drawing from classic pop culture depictions of Martians, this is the most insular house in KeyForge, with many effects that synergize only with other Mars cards. Examples of typical Mars cards are “John Smyth”, Mothergun, Mars First and Xanthyx Harvester. A secondary theme is abducting creatures into their opponent's archives, with cards like Collector Worm and Uxlyx the Zookeeper. While traditionally regarded as the weakest house in Call of the Archons, it proved to be more competitive in Age of Ascension, especially with the Martian Generosity + Key Abduction combo decks. Mars was rotated out after Age of Ascension, but they will return in a future set.

Sanctum
Sanctum is a contrast to the demonic Dis: a house of monks and angelic knights. Sanctum's primary themes are board control through powerful creatures with armor, capturing Æmber and healing. Secondary themes are stunning and Æmber burst. Notable examples are cards like Bulwark, Virtuous Works, Doorstep to Heaven and Sir Marrows. Similarly to Mars, its strength improved in Age of Ascension with cards like Proclamation 346E, The Grey Rider and Barrister Joya. Also like Mars, it was rotated out for Worlds Collide.

Saurian
With a unique mix of Greco-Roman culture and dinosaurs, Saurian was one of the new houses in the game's third set, Worlds Collide. Exploring the theme of hubris through the exalt keyword that was introduced exclusively with Saurians, big creatures with high risk / high reward effects define this house: Senator Shrix, Cincinnatus Rex, Saurus Rex, Gargantodon and many others. Secondary themes include steal-hate, capturing and warding. Saurian immediately proved to be both a fan favorite and a competitively successful house.
Full list of Saurian cards

  
Shadows
Shadows is the sneaky house. It contains small, elusive creatures and powerful effects that deal direct damage and, more than any other house, steal Æmber. This is emphasized with cards like Ronnie Wristclocks, Miasma, Relentless Whispers and Too Much to Protect.

Bait and Switch was largely considered to be the best card in the game, until it was errata'd and its power considerably lowered.

As stealing is arguably the most impactful mechanic in the game, Shadows has proven to be by far the most competitively successful house across the game's first two sets.
Full list of Shadows cards

  
Star Alliance
Introduced in Worlds Collide alongside Saurian and inspired by classic sci-fi tropes, Star Alliance is thematically the opposite of house Mars. As the primary mechanics are allowing playing and using cards outside of the active house, Star Alliance brings cohesion and efficiency to decks. This is exemplified in cards like Captain Val Jericho, Com. Officer Kirby, United Action and Commander Chan. Star Alliance also has more upgrades than any other house, including a unique Blaster for each common creature in Worlds Collide, as well as Robot creatures that can also be played as upgrades. Just like Saurian, Star Alliance is considered one of the best houses in Worlds Collide.
Full list of Star Alliance cards

  
Untamed
Untamed is the house inspired by nature and wilderness, featuring animals, plants, humans and other lifeforms. Untamed's primary themes are Æmber burst and recursion. Dust Pixie, Hunting Witch, Witch of the Eye and Key Charge are some of the cards that made Untamed the house with the best Æmber generation in Call of the Archons. Mimicry, Nepenthe Seed, Duskwitch and Heart of the Forest are some of the other iconic Untamed cards.

Mulligan things

If you are the first player, drawing 7 cards gives you the following probabilities for your hand shape:

First Player Hand Probabilities
  • 3-2-2 (34.44%)
  • 4-2-1 (28.18%)
  • 3-3-1 (20.87%)
  • 4-3-0 (7.83%)
  • 5-1-1 (4.10%)
  • 5-2-0 (3.76%)
  • 6-1-0 (.80%)
  • 7-0-0 (.03%)
House 1 House 2 House 3 Probability
3 2 2 34.44
4 2 1 28.18
3 3 1 20.87
4 3 0 7.83
5 1 1 4.10
5 2 0 3.76
6 1 0 .80
7 0 0 .03

After the mulligan (or if you're the second player) you have the following probabilities of hand shape:

First Player Mulligan Hand Probabilities
  • 3-2-1 (53.67%)
  • 2-2-2 (14.76%)
  • 4-1-1 (10.98%)
  • 4-2-0 (10.06%)
  • 3-3-0 (7.45%)
  • 5-1-0 (2.93%)
  • 6-0-0 (.14%)
House 1 House 2 House 3 Probability
3 2 1 53.67
2 2 2 14.76
4 1 1 10.98
4 2 0 10.06
3 3 0 7.45
5 1 0 2.93
6 0 0 .14

And if you're the second player taking a mulligan, you have the following:

Second Player Mulligan
Hand Probabilities
  • 2-2-1 (41.60%)
  • 3-1-1 (25.21%)
  • 3-2-0 (23.11%)
  • 4-1-0 (9.45%)
  • 5-0-0 (.63%)
House 1 House 2 House 3 Probability
2 2 1 41.60
3 1 1 25.21
3 2 0 23.11
4 1 0 9.45
5 0 0 .63


The question often comes up "How likely am I to redraw cards that I just put back into my deck after using a mulligan?". In the table below, you'll see the results of 10,000,000 6 card draws followed by 5 card draws of three deck makeups[1].

# redrawn All Unique 2 sets of 2 cards 1 set of 3 cards

  1. Note that these numbers are derived using the Fisher-Yates shuffling algorithm, which is the same algortihm used on The Crucible Online.
    In the "All Unique" model, every card in the deck is unique; there is no more than one copy of each card in the deck. In the "2 sets of 2 cards" model, there are duplicates of two cards in the deck (e.g. 2 copies of Bad Penny and 2 copies of Yxilo Bolter), and 1 copy of all other cards in the deck. In the "1 set of 3 cards" model, one card has 3 copies in the deck (e.g. 3 copies of Bad Penny) while all other cards in the deck have just 1 copy. Numbers courtesy of SkyJedi
