Mass Mutation

Dark Tidings is the fifth KeyForge set to launch on the Crucible. It was announced on July 29, 2020 during the Fantasy Flight Games In-Flight Report and will be released in February 2021. House Dis rotates out for the new house called the Unfathomable. The Unfathomable contain aquatic, water-based creatures such as the Aquans. The Aquans were first hinted at with the Anomaly creature Valoocanth, but water creatures have appeared as early as Call of the Archons on cards such as Terms of Redress and Chaos Portal. The Unfathomable are marked by their powerful, disruptive abilities, such as bounce and exhaust effects.

New in this set

Dark Tidings features a new mechanic called the tide, in which players must raise or lower the tide in order to enable certain powerful card mechanics. Each Dark Tidings Archon deck will include a tide token for players to use.

The set also introduces a rare new type of deck called an Evil Twin deck. These decks contain Evil Twin cards, which are variations on cards that exist in the set but contain different artwork and card effects. All Evil Twin decks are duplicates of decks that already exist in a non-Evil Twin form. When a card in the deck contains an Evil Twin version, the Evil Twin version will appear instead.
