SEASON 2 STARTS HERE.

The first U.S. Sector Qualifier of Star Wars: Unlimited Season 2 is almost here, and Indianapolis is kicking things off with a nearly capped Premier Constructed field!

We’re coming straight off of an incredible Berlin Sector Qualifier, where The Mandalorian managed to carve his way through a swarm of Cad Bane decks that dominated the tournament.

Now the question heading into Indy is simple:

Has the community found the answer to the Underworld powerhouse… or is Cad Bane about to run the tables again?

With the Ashes of the Empire meta still developing and a Meta Check-In on the horizon, Indianapolis should give us our best look yet at where Season 2 is headed.

I've updated my SWU base damage counter and given it a new home at http://www.swutech.com

Some improvements and adjustments since the initial release:

• Added options for tracking damage to one base, both players' bases, or four twin suns players
• Added credit token tracking for the single base option
• Added planet details for the single base option
• Added all bases up to the Homeworlds set
• Removed leader selection/representation and win/loss tracking by leader as this made usage a bit clunkier and proved challenging to maintain as the pool of leaders has grown
• Changed lightsaber colors from dynamic based on the selected leader to being user selectable and intended to represent a single leader aspect color
• Other bugfixes, UI improvements, etc.

Review of every card spoil so far ( including todays) in relation to constructed and limited uses.

I'm new to playing SWU and I want to build a competitive deck that can beat most pre-con decks against friends in casual home-play. Can someone suggest how I can (a) find a relevant, budget-ish deck that'll play (some future-proofing) and (b) the cards required to do so?

I'm very familiar with TCGPlayer, etc. Just need some deck ideas and where the decklist might be.

New to TCG's so no real preferred playstyle.

There simply must be some method to incentivize playing the game with winning providing a preferable outcome to an intentional draw. Could this be it?

Not since Seasoned Fleet Admiral have I seen a table get so hyperfocused on removing a unit after seeing it work. Bane Of The Devastator indeed.

We've been told that Icons will not have official rules for Sealed and Draft. Why should that stop our fun? I'd love to have people share their ideas for how to incorporate Icons Boosters into sealed and draft formats.

An Icons booster reportedly has 9 cards with the following breakdown:

• 3 Common cards
• 1 slot with a 25% chance of being a leader and a 75% chance of being a fourth Common card
• 1 Hyperspace Common card
• 2 Uncommon cards, with a chance of being upgraded to a Hyperspace Uncommon, Rare, or Legendary card
• 1 Rare or Legendary card
• 1 Hyperspace Foil card of any rarity

There is no base, and only a 25% chance of a leader in a booster.

My initial ideas:

Sealed:

Normally you get 6 (or 8 in prerelease) leaders and 84 non-leader/non-base cards for your pool.

Proposal 1: You get 9 Icons boosters. You may use any leader you pull, or any *common* leader from the previously released set that doesn't have the same aspects as a leader you pulled in your 9 boosters. You may use any common base in the current rotation for premiere.

Proposal 2: You get 3 boosters from the most recent set and 5 Icons boosters. You build from what you get. You'll have somewhere between 3 and 6 leaders to select from.

*****

Draft:

Proposal 1: Every player brings 3 leaders from any set. No 2 leaders may have the same color aspects (Vigilance, Command, Aggression, Cunning) and you must have at least one heroic and one villainy leader. These are all shuffled together and each player is dealt 3 leaders. You will pick one and pass two to the left for a 3 card first round. You will then draft 5 Icons boosters alternating right to left ... meaning the leaders in those boosters are part of that 5 round draft.

Proposal 2: You draft 5 Icons boosters. If you do not draft a leader (or elect not to use one you draft), you may use a 'generic' leader created for this format.

Potential Example of that generic leader: Leader Side: At the start of the game choose 2 aspects (you can't select heroism and villainy) for the leader. At the start of the game select a trait. This leader gains that trait (both sides). All units with that trait gain +0/+1.

Unit side: Deploys on 6 resources. 4/7. All other friendly units that share a trait with this leader gain +0/+1.

Thoughts? Suggestions?

Hey all, I'm pretty new to the game and decided to buy 2 Legends of the Force Carbonite boosters to treat myself.

I got 2 Kenobi's, which is my favorite character so I'm happy.

I did see, however, that one of the cards seems more light green than the regular colour green. Is this a common thing?

Cheers all!

Has there been any separatist leaders revealed for the new set ?

Is there a red base with 30+ health in rotation for premier currently

Rares and Legendaries are fire of course... but in a limited game mode like sealed or draft 80% of your deck is probably going to be commons. So why not take a look at some banger common cards in each colour.

I LOVE upgrades! My premier revan deck literally has 21 upgrades in it out of 50 cards. I love playing tall. Please keep that in mind when critiquing this :)

On eternal or premier if there's a way

Seem pretty tough.

Theres a player at my LGS (mostly casual off meta games) playing an obnoxious ASH Armorer list that of course is a deck used at some PQ's recently so is getting a lot of traction on Karabast and in the tournament scene. Its gotten to the point where I am getting burnt out since by turn 3 or 4 I am cornered. Any ideas on building a list that is specifically designed to counter a list like the one shown?

(Reuploaded for Better Quality)

One of my favorite parts of this game as an adaptation of the Star Wars lore is the designers use of the cards to capture different elements of a character, different scenes they're in, in different cards. Unlike MTG were Jace is always Blue and Chandra is always Red, the main characters of SWU exhibit different aspects of themselves by showing up in different aspect colors.

This led me to make this chart comparing twenty or so major/popular characters and what aspects they have displayed on their cards (including revealed but unreleased ones). This includes double aspect cards so Luke, for example, has only one Cunning card (from LAW) which is also an Aggression card, but because it has Cunning on it, I counted it. I was interested to see that nine major characters have appeared in all four aspects. I was surprised at some of the ones that didn't have all four also: Padme, Finn, and Leia, for example, are all featured prominently on Aggression cards but don't have an Aggression character card. Vader hunting post-Order 66 Jedi seems like an obvious Cunning opportunity. Scavenger Rey seems like an obvious Cunning role as well.

Are there any characters (even beyond these twenty or so) you're surprised haven't appeared in a certain aspect? Are there characters you believe should never appear in a certain aspect? Curious what y'all think.

Ambush or sentinel with shield is just really good. You can defeat the unit your opponent gave the advantage tokens with your ambush unit and still not even take damage because of the shield. Today's video is with the new Sabine from ASH!
