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.

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!

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. :)

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.

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 …Show this thread

This was the exact reason why I stopped playing Magic the gathering when I was 15.

I can see why, I only had fun with it when I was playing casually with non-competitive friends, trying to do the best with the crap cards we had. It was really fun.

Same here. The frustration is pointing me in two different directions. 1) Organize a casual Reversal tournament to see if there is interest in something besides ruthless efficiency. 2) Try to get into Netrunner again, online.
