What builds from Set 1 are sitting uncompleted? When Spark of Rebellion dropped there were a TON of deck ideas we wanted to try. And, thanks to a nearly seven-month spoiler season, we had time to put almost all of them together. We got a lot of good decks, but not everything came together. Some…
Jumping back into collectible card games after nearly twenty years has been a blast. One big change, however, has been the increase in card rarities and variants. The first collectible card games had a relatively simple rarity system of Common, Uncommon, and Rare. Fifteen cards in a pack; One Rare, three Uncommon, and then Common…

Welcome back to some more spoiler review & first impressions! We’ve been utterly failing at keeping pace with the crazy speed of spoiler season this go-around, but here’s another 20 or so cards in hopes to eventually catch up! Justin – Important to note we’ve had it clarified that if a card already has Smuggle,…
Today’s article is a little fluffier than usual- after yesterday’s articles, our major overhaul of our Tier List and a deep dive into the first two months of stats, I want to talk a little bit about what can get a little lost in the sauce sometimes. Namely, the deck I’ve been playing that’s the…
Spoiler season is upon us. Nearly every day we are getting to see at least one new card from the upcoming set. Sometimes, we are getting videos with the game developers at Fantasy Flight Games that show multiple spoilers at a time and discuss some of the design choices and theory that went into creating…
Welcome to the Meta Snapshot! Today, we here at the Garbage Rollers are re-launching our tier list to better reflect the state of the meta and provide more clarity about what is competitively viable. There are several reasons we’re doing this: To this end, we’re switching from a traditional tier list to what we’re calling…
What two months of SWU data can teach us about the meta… Since release, we at the Garbage Rollers have been accumulating tournament data for our Meta Monday reports. Today, it’s time to bring it together and see what we can learn about the meta roughly two months into the Spark of Rebellion season. About…

Good morning! In case you weren’t around and missed our Meta Monday recap, we played in a $1K this past weekend in Burleson, TX (DFW) where I was able to take the win with Boba Command! The following is a discussion of the list, why I chose it, and a recap of each round as…
We used to shuffle cards. It was not in the manner that happens today with splitting a sleeved deck into two parts and pushing them together. We truly shuffled. It was the same way that you would shuffle a fifty-two card poker deck. Riffling the cards, and then bridging the sides together to combine them…

We’re going to tackle about 20 of them, and come back next week to catch up hopefully fairly quickly. Justin – Well, it looks like the…
Players can often be overly dismissive. This is no surprise to those that have played card games for a while, but in SWU it’s particularly interesting to observe. Even in this first set, the overall balance of the game is in a really good spot, and a far wider selection of the cardpool than many…
Trading for collectible card games is so amazingly different than it was twenty years ago. The entire process of finding a worthwhile trade partner and putting the actual trade together is like being on another planet now. In the mid-to-late 1990s, the magazine Scrye included a monthly price guide for Magic: The Gathering. That was…
Welcome to our weekly update of the Gauntlet (Meta Tier List)! Tier list changes This week we’re adding to the aggro end of our tier list by adding a popular Sabine list. More specifically, we’re adding Sabine/Yellow to our Tier 2. Sabine/Yellow has proved itself a popular and effective alternative to Sabine/Green, even if the…
On this wonderful eve of May 4th, I’m sure many of you are getting in your last testing reps and have hopefully hammered in your 50+10 for this weekends tournaments! With no tournament this weekend for me, I thought it would be a fun exercise to talk through what I would expect the meta to…
Welcome to the FIFTH episode of SWU OVER/UNDER, where the GarbageRollers crew tackles various topics related to the game and decides whether theyāre OVERRATED, UNDERRATED, or PROPERLY RATED. This format lets us yap about almost anything, and today, we’re gonna throw in our takes to all the various talks of the town. The game is buzzing out there, but how…
I think I may be a Boomer Gamer. Some backgroundā¦ I started playing Magic the Gathering in 1994 just as Unlimited was ending and Revised was starting its print run. I had dropped my first car off at a Jiffy Lube for an oil change and walked across the street to a Hobby Town USA…

What are your hobbies outside of card games? Hey there! Iām pretty big in to games (naturally). Outside of gaming I also…
By all accounts, Star Wars: Unlimited has enjoyed one of the best, if not the best, launches for a TCG ever. Deck diversity remains pretty high, product availability wasn’t nearly as constrained as many other launches despite incredible demand, and FFG’s communication has been mostly excellent. But it’s not all roses. Devoted as we are,…
