Nathan "CorayThan"

My first love was untamed, as I had a number of great untamed sets in my first few decks. But after enough games and decks, I’ve settled on Dis as my favorite house. It’s a versatile house with good aember control and positive deck manipulation (like Arise or Library of the Damned), but it excels at my favorite thing to do: not let my opponent do their favorite thing to do.

Bad Penny isn't the best card in KeyForge, so stick with me for a sec here.

I think Bad Penny is emblematic of part of what's cool about KeyForge compared to most card games. In most games, you'd almost never include a Bad Penny in your deck, but in KeyForge a lot of good decks have Bad Pennies, and you have to figure out how to work with her. Some decks she isn't even that bad!

When looking for a deck I know I’ll really enjoy, and will be very powerful, there are a few things I look for.

1. Controlling the number of cards my opponent can play. I put a big premium on cards like Nature’s Call, Lights Out, Scrambler Storm, Control the Weak, Succubus, Ember Imp, Binding Irons, etc.

2. Improving my own number of cards I can play with things like Phase Shift, Archiving in general, Mother, Nepenthe Seed, Master Plan, etc.

3. Making Aember

4. Controlling Aember

I've collected "Nathan" KeyForge decks for a fair while, and aquired a few good ones.

I opened “Metal” Nathan, Sewers Investigator myself, and my CotA rush deck Nathan "Countess Tornado" Earnsworth was my best Nathan deck for quite a while.

Recently, though, I aquired the crowning glory of my collection: Deirdre, Nathansseat Viceroy, a 90 SAS WC Dis Saurian Star deck.

It does some really cool stuff, and has multiple winning paths to victory, including double exhume double E'e, a bomb combo in axiom, city state interest, and senator bracchus, and double stealth mode Star with some dangerous creatures.
