I love the concept behind Keyforge, but the local scene is demotivating. No casual play, only tournaments. They've bought a ton of decks to find the best one, so they're unbeatable. There are formats to combat this, but they're not interested.
They are increasingly rare but I do go to those. It feels like I have more of a chance. Yes, Shadows and the steal mechanic are very powerful, and it's such a negative type of interaction...
