Grim Reminders English Release Announced
On Monday, Ghost Galaxy announced the official release date by which participating retailers would likely have English-language KeyForge: Grim Reminders available for purchase.
The English Grim Reminders release will be March 1, 2024, with participating retailers hosting Pre-Release events on or around February 23, 2024.
The post also provided the first look of the contents of the Grim Reminders Pre-Release Pack, which includes three Grim Reminders Archon Decks and a random house pin.
DoK/DBC GR Import
With the release of Grim Reminders, popular deck collection tools Decks of KeyForge and Draw Better Cards have been updated to allow importing of decks from the latest set. Draw Better Cards also has ratings for the latest set, while Decks of KeyForge has not yet been updated with ratings. Note that both sites do not yet allow for importing decks with Revenant cards because of a bug in the KeyForge Master Vault deck data.
Ask a Judge
Q: I have a Tick-Tock and Chronometer in play. Tick-Tock has 2 time counters on it. At the end of my turn, if I choose to resolve Chronometer’s ability first — which places a third time counter on Tick-Tock — does Tick-Tock get destroyed immediately?
A: No. Each ability must be fully completed before moving on to resolve the other. Both Tick-Tock and Chronometer have a single individual ability that resolves at the same timing point, the “end of turn” effect window.
If the active player chooses to resolve Chronometer first, they place a time counter on Chronometer and Tick-Tock and then check to see if the condition of the second sentence of Chronometer's ability is met, but not the second sentence of Tick-Tock's ability (as it has not yet begun to resolve.) Once Chronometer’s ability has resolved completely, Tick-Tock's ability will begin to resolve, placing a fourth time counter on Tick-Tock. Then, having met the condition in Tick-Tock’s second sentence by having 3 or more time counters on Tick-Tock, Tick-Tock will be destroyed.
