Today, we’re rolling out our first Meta Snapshot for Star Wars: Unlimited constructed play incorporating Set 2, Shadows of the Galaxy. We’re really excited about this moment as it’s the culmination of months of work by our team to play and learn as much as we can about Set 2. If you want to skip…
Pre-release week has come and gone and hopefully everyone was able to attend at least one! I was able to play in three events and I quickly realized there were some cards I needed to take a second look at for constructed. Here’s 5 that stuck out to me! Concord Dawn Interceptors – Space’s New…
When SWU launched, I wrote an article on SWU’s cost curve and how units from that set fit into it. Now that Shadows of the Galaxy is upon us, it’s time to expand that series with an examination of Set 2’s cards and mechanics. Let’s have a look at the new mechanics and cost trends…

I started playing Customizable Card Games in 1995 when I was 10 years old. My first tournament was at Butler University in my hometown of Indianapolis for the Star Wars: Customizable Card Game. My dad walked me in, made sure I got acquainted with the tournament director, and then left me to it. That was…

Tyler (@DJStormtrooper) — Welcome to the Garbage Rollers Fantasy Draft! We’re taking a gamified approach to making a tier list today by doing it snake-draft style. For those unfamiliar, on their turn, each competitor will pick a card from the existing pool. The card goes onto their “team.” Once everyone has picked once, the order will…
Check out the opening below on our YouTube Channel! Thanks to Fantasy Flight Games and Gamegenic for these sweet goodies!
I will admit to not completely understanding play mats, nor have I used one in all the years of playing collectible card games. I get it that they provide some protection for your cards. However, the cards are already in sleeves and sometimes more than one sleeve. Isn’t the entire point of the sleeves to…

Sometimes cards just seem destined to end up in the same decks. Dynamic duos like that are already a huge part of SWU’s history. While some of them are obvious, like Luke and Luke’s Lightsaber or Boba Fett and Firespray, other pairings aren’t quite so conspicuous. FFG’s spoilers for Shadows of the Galaxy have seemed…
Store Showdown season is wrapping up at this point. I’ve been to three in Philadelphia and the immediate vicinity, with one more on the trailing end of the season coming up. If you’ll indulge me with the humble brag briefly: I’ve done well in these events. Top 8 in the first, winning the second, and…

It should be an exciting time to be a Star Wars Unlimited player- after all, Set 2 is just around the corner, and the cards seem like they’re going to be a blast. The problem, of course, is that everyone is preoccupied with worrying over whether they’ll be able to buy them. Product Limitations Allocation…
Extra of something is generally good. Extra money. Extra ice-cream. Extra credit. Extra days off. Extra lives (Up Up Down Down Left Right Left Right B A). Extra turns are good too. Collectible card games have always seemed to have this idea of an extra turn as a card. Those cards have tended to be…
We had the chance to sit down with one of the Game Designers for Star Wars Unlimited, Ryan Serrano and ask him some questions! Ryan is more famous for his status as Rules Admiral and running the ship for Comprehensive Rulings for Star Wars Unlimited, but he also helped design the Twin Suns format! We…

The first really large tournament that I went to was roughly 1995 — before the Magic Pro Tour was even a thing. I don’t quite remember what I was playing in terms of a deck. I do remember that there were over two hundred players, and that the event was single elimination. The other major…
Meta Snapshot Update This week we’re adding Boba/Blue to our Meta Snapshot under the Hard Control category. This deck has enjoyed recent success by combining the control tricks of Villain Blue with the closing power of Boba and his Firespray. Since we’re adding this deck to our snapshot, we believe it has the goods to…
Preview season in a card game is always full of speculation. The shifting tides of how a set shakes out are great fun to follow. Dialoguing about a game is, after all, part of being a player! But every once in a while, cards come along that seem pretty locked in. Like all cards, these…
