The KeyForge: Grim Reminders Gamefound campaign which launched on October 12th, continued this week to allow for more pledges to back the upcoming seventh KeyForge set.

At the time of publication, the campaign has reached over $302,982 USD raised, unlocking Meet the Menagerie as an additional stretch goal for pledge tiers backers which spills the beans on the new Menagerie decks and includes the stretch goal reward of a free Menagerie deck with each pledge. Additionally, Night of the Revenants has been unveiled as the next stretch goal at $400,000 USD.

The campaign is expected to remain open for one more week until Monday, October 30th and Ghost Galaxy estimates pledges should arrive to all backers by the end of March 2024.

Ask a Judge

I have Animator (mavericked into Ekwidon) in my play area. I use Animator to turn one of my opponent's artifacts into a creature in their battleline. I fight that creature with Shĭzyokŭ Swopper and resolve Swopper's After Fight: ability taking control of it. At the end of my turn, will the artifact leave the battleline and stay in my play area or return to my opponent's?

Shĭzyokŭ Swopper swaps the control of the creature and there are no other abilities that would return the control of the creature to your opponent, so when the “animated” artifact becomes an artifact again, it will be an artifact under your control.
