Big Z is a lifelong gamer progressing from consoles when he was a child, to computer games when he was a young adult, and has become a dedicated board game player over the last seven years.

He has played over 3,000 games of KeyForge, was the thirteenth player to earn a Power Level Three Deck, and is one of the hosts for the Archons Corner Podcast. He is currently ranked 1st on the 2019/20 Vault Leader Board. He organized the initial formation of Team SAS-LP and since then has taken on the role of Team Captain.

Big Z loves KeyForge and wants nothing more than for the community to thrive as they continue to Forge Keys, Unlock Vaults, and Discover new wondrous elements of KeyForge. Additionally, he was part of the organizational team that created, organized, and hosted KeyForge LIVE the summer of 2021 in Milwaukee.

Inspired by the sorry state of affairs circa December 2018 when trying to buy KeyForge decks on the secondary market, Nathan created Decks of Keyforge, SAS, and AERC to help evaluate and search KeyForge decks. He continues to actively improve Decks of Keyforge and the rating systems, as well as practice the game we love as much as possible.

Nathan won the Denver Vault Tour Tournament, outlasting his opponents with a triple Control the Weak deck on day 2. Nathan also triumphed at the Indianapolis Sealed Worlds Collide vault tour with a great WC board rush deck! Years ago he played the World of Warcraft Miniatures game competitively, winning a major tournament and becoming a semifinalist at the Worlds competition. He was also one of the three winners of the Shadow Worlds event.

Luke is a lifelong card gamer and board gamer. He got his first pokemon cards in elementary school and has been gaming ever since. In middle school and high school his gaming focused on Yu-Gi-Oh! and whatever board games I could get my hands on. After that, his gaming moved away from card games and more towards strategy board games. But since the introduction of KeyForge, Luke is enjoying the personal renaissance of competitive card games.

In the game of Keyforge, Luke finds the pre-built deck aspect especially intriguing: the concept that in every game there are cards in your deck that you wouldn't choose to put in there, so you have to make the best of bad situations. He is looking forward to future releases to watch how the established truths and strategies of the game evolve.

Luke won the Survival Vault Tour at Albany masterfully piloting the always awesome Galaxy!

Along with Nathan and Jakub, Luke won the Shadow Worlds Tournament, playing in the adaptive seat.

Jakub has always been fascinated with games of all kinds. He started with chess at age of 7 progressed through video games and found card games to be the epitome of what he likes. Since his teens he has dabbled in pretty much every card game he could get his hands on. For instance, in Gwent he created the first competitive team, competed on the highest level of play, created multiple top-tier decks and continued being an influential figure through his interaction with the game.

In KeyForge he focuses on the aspect of discovery; finding the deck that best fits him and his play style while at the same time being a highly competitive deck. Jakub took down both the Germany and Madrid Valt Tours with Pink Fraud, one of the best KeyForge decks on the planet.

He is an article writer focusing on the highly abstract side of the game, this is exemplified in his article about Rush against Control.

He was one of the trio that won the Shadow Worlds (2019), playing Archon.

Dan has been playing games since his older brother would let him join his Dungeon and Dragon’s game in the 80s.

He has been involved in both competitive play and charity gaming events for many card, role playing, miniature, and board games over the years. Dan is also active in Fat Biking, Bike Touring, and Home brewing.

Dan’s first serious experience with KeyForge was the Schaumberg vault tour where he made day two and has been chasing the dream ever since. He has an inconceivable belief that the best deck ever comes from Age of Ascension but just has not found it yet. His Keyforge thoughts are now shared as a co-host of Archons Corner Podcast.

Dan is invested in both his local KeyForge scene as a tournament organizer and travels to as many events as he can.

Casey started playing card games in High School, starting with Magic the Gathering and Yu-Gi-Oh! During his college years he ventured away from card games and went deep into console gaming, punching his name on top 100 boards across several games including Madden, MLB, and a few others.

Recently, Casey got back into card games via KeyForge thanks to a close friend from Colorado. Although he has only made it to one Vault Tour, he plans to make many more post pandemic to satisfy that competitive itch.

You can find Casey on TCO often, and he is always ready for the next great match!
