What do people like in Keyforge? Is it the art? That you don’t have to build your own deck? Popping freshies? I’d say that all of those points are valid. But I think there’s one aspect that tops them all. It’s the discovery of synergies between cards.

Nothing feels better than discovering a new synergy between two or more cards that create a before unseen effect. But not all effects are the same. Some are just cool or interesting interactions between cards. But some are so impactful that they’re worth being called a combo.

But what exactly is a combo? A combo is two or three cards that, when played together, create a big advantage over your opponent which can effectively lead to winning the game. So, technically they‘re still synergies but the effect they create is much bigger than the usual synergy has.

So that‘s the general definition of a combo. But there are different types of combos and every type creates a different kind of advantage.

Some combos help to generate a huge amount of Æmber. Others try to lock the opponent into one specific house or completely out of a specific house. There are combos that exploit the rule of 6. And last but not least, there are combos that win you the game.

I wanted to create a list which will help you to find and identify combos more easy on ID cards. But since there’s an almost uncountable amount of combos in the game (and they’re getting more and more with each set) I wanted to rely mostly on some of the better known and only a handful of lesser known combos for it.

So let‘s begin.

Æmber Generation

Card Advantage

Control Over the Opponent or Board

Forging Keys

I hope this list helps you as it helped me to identify combos and what they do. Keep forging!
