Leaders have interesting dynamics, but so do the other cards… So, how should we start deckbuilding? I like to start with one of…
We’ve known for some time that Hero Blue/Yellow is a powerful color combo. Thanks to being the featured colors in the starter, we’ve had more time to deckbuild with them than almost any others. It’s no surprise then, with the release of Jedi Lightsaber and Luke Skywalker (unit) last week, that Hero Blue/Yellow would rise…

So I did what any self-respecting fella in my position would do- I rolled up my sleeves, cut up some peppers, and mixed y’all up a…

As the mind wanders on some random Star Wars Unlimited thoughts, we’ll find out if I’m living in fantasy land or crazy land with these ideas.. In today’s article, I’m going to discuss five specific card designs I expect to see in the…
Last week, Justin set out his expectations for leaders in the Set 1 meta. Since his takes were obviously GarbageTM , I’ll attempt to set the record straight.
