      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.

      There seems to be a big range in terms of deck quality, which goes hand in hand with the ruthlessness that CCG players bring.

      I don't really mind it too much in Sealed tournaments, but if players have a chance to bring their own decks from home I know I don't have a chance unless I spend as much money as they did.

      Another frustrating thing is the feeling that I'm not making any progress. How much control do I have over the outcome over any given game? My win rate hasn't changed over 300 games.

          Fortunately the players have created a solid (non-official) site where you can use your decks to play online. This has been a welcome addition which lets me play anytime I want!

          Five months later, the local scene is suffering from the same problems. No casual play, only tournaments. Super competitive players buying hundreds of decks to pick the very best. Nobody else has a chance unless they do the same. Very discouraging.

          Fortunately my win rate is improving. It's the first time I'm tracking something like this and it's very insightful. I should probably write an article when I hit a big number like 500 games played.

          What is your favorite competitive game where you can't buy your way to victory and has a good community?

          One thing lead to another and I'm organizing a Reversal tournament, which is where you bring a deck for your *opponent* to play with. Bring your worst decks! #Keyforge

          The Reversal Tournament was today! I leaned that my worst deck is apparently not terrible enough for this format - it won every game, by a good margin, against me. :) #keyforge

          It feels very different to know exactly what threats can appear from your opponent's side, and I certainly saw some combos I hadn't considered myself. I definitely learned something. #keyforge

          Also confirmed that, as an introvert, organizing and playing on a tournament at the same time is very draining. A constant stream of complicated external questions that I don't always have answers for. I'm peopled-out for today.

          Started a BGG thread to talk about my frustrations with #Keyforge as a casual game and how the ultra-competitive are taking over. https://boardgamegeek.com/article/32745185 …
