Help From 300th Episode Self

The Bad Penny Press crew would like to give a special shout out and our congratulations to the Help From Future Self cast, who recently celebrated the release of their 300th episode, featuring an interview with some members of team that makes KeyForge possible: Christian T. Peterson, Michael Hurley, and Luke Olsen.

Ask a Judge

Q: On their previous turn, my opponent played Befuddle, choosing Logos when the “Play:” ability resolved. On my turn, can I play a Logos card that has been enhanced with a Geistoid house bonus icon?

A: No. A card with a house bonus icon belongs both to its printed house and the house of the bonus icon. So in this case, you cannot play a card enhanced with a Geistoid house bonus icon, because that card belongs to house Geistoid, and Befuddle's lasting effect prevents you from playing cards that do not belong to Logos.
