The preview season for A Lawless Time has officially begun with yesterday’s drop of a leader and some support cards. Hera Syndulla – Not Fighting Alone We saw this artwork previously and it looked like it could be a leader from that first spoiler. Sure enough we get another Hera leader. It’s very difficult to…
Porg Depot does not currently have any official art critics on staff. Yes, we’ve done some showcase art Tier Lists and we plan to continue doing that as sets are released. Those are a bit tongue in cheek and meant as satire. What we can say from the layman’s art critic point of view is…
As we close out the second year of Star Wars Unlimited and get ready to dive into 2026, here are some things that the Porg Depot team is looking forward to… Successful Rotation This is the one. We’ve known for some time now that the sets from 2024 (SOR, SHD, TWI) would be leaving the…
We’re now well into the Secrets of Power meta and Planetary Qualifiers have been in full swing with tournaments taking place all over the world. For a detailed breakdown of the results, check out SWU Competitive Hub. The meta continues to be largely in line with our Snapshot: However, there is one deck that isn’t…
When Star Wars Unlimited first started organized play, the way to get around having intentional draws was to simply not have them. This created a bunch of bad feeling energy as players would need to decide to take the double loss or be nice and grant their opponent the win. When both players want the…
Welcome to week five of the Secrets of Power! Over the last two weeks, Planetary Qualifiers have been in full swing with tournaments taking place all over the world. For a detailed breakdown of the results, check out SWU C.ompetitive Hub. The meta continues to be largely in line with our Snapshot: There is an…
There has been significant speculation across the Star Wars Unlimited player base related to the upcoming first rotation of premier legal sets, what it might do to the meta, what cards rotating out of Premier format would be missed the most, and whether or not any of those rotating cards should get printed again in…
As the US hits Thanksgiving this year there are many things related to Star Wars Unlimited to be thankful for. Here are some that are worth considering. Recap of 2024 We made a similar list last year and figured why not do it again. Our prior topics included: Healthy Game This one stays on the…
Looking good from what we’ve seen so far. A lot of excitement was generated from the FFG presser at PAX Unplugged over the weekend when we were given our first look at A Lawless Time. We got to see: FFG did a great job of generating some excitement and our porgs are chirping with glee…
Prestige Serialized cards are of course found in Carbonite boxes and numbered from 001 through 250. Which are the “best” numbers to pull from a pack? We sat down with the porg analysts to devise the below list S+ Tier Two of the Same Number – Given that serialized card numbers are supposed to be…
Welcome to week three of the Secrets of Power! The last two weeks have seen invitational tournaments in both Europe and America. While neither of these was tremendously large, both featured a number of the world’s best players, so attention is warranted. The first was the Two Moons Invitational Championship in Zurich, which was won…
It’s that time again. Secrets of Power has been released, so it’s time to start wildly speculating on what the next set, A Lawless Time, might bring to the game. ** Small disclaimer up front. This is all entirely speculation. Porg Depot has no advance knowledge of anything coming in the next set at least…
When SWU launched, I wrote an article on SWU’s cost curve and how units from Set 1 fit into it. Now that Secrets of Power is upon us, it’s time to expand that series with an examination of Set 6’s cards and mechanics. Let’s have a look at the new mechanics and cost trends hitting…
Guest author Dan, aka The Flying Writer, brings us some new Twin Suns decks plus general thoughts on Secrets of Power. Everything is finally released for Secrets of Power (SEC). We got our first double aspect leader, a Twin Suns rule update in Comprehensive Rules 6.0, a new keyword, some new rules, and a bunch of…
Today, we’re rolling out our first Meta Snapshot for Star Wars: Unlimited constructed play incorporating Set 6, Secrets of Power. We’re really excited about this moment as it’s the culmination of weeks of work by our team to play and learn as much as we can about Set 6. If you want to skip straight…
I’ve been playing card games for over 30 years now, and there’s been a lot of time to explore different deck archetypes and strategies. Different deck types are the spice of life and keep deckbuilding and gameplay new and fresh. Now that SWU is coming up on its first rotation, it’s a good time to…
Porg Depot has been tracking prices for almost a year now. We get asked or have seen a number of questions that come up from time to time are: What do the trends in the card prices mean?Are they good or bad for the players?Stores?FFG?The game as a whole? Low prices feel like a win…
Welcome to the completely unscientific yet officially porg-endorsed ranking of the Secrets of Power showcase leaders judged solely on their artistic swagger. Absolutely no stats or synergies are factored in. Just looking at style alone. Fluff those feathers and prepare to dig in with us as we overanalyze every pose. S Tier A Tier B Tier C…
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…
We did it. We made it to a one year anniversary. Our site began a year ago when SWUHarvest was going to go offline. That site was the original location for the Get Off My Lawn series of boomer gamer rants. We felt that content deserved to still be out in the wild and that…
The full set list for Secrets of Power is out and there is a lot to talk about. Instead of focusing on all the playable legendaries, we’ll save that for a tweet and instead take a deep dive into Plots. The plot mechanic itself has a very high ceiling. Being able to Voltron a single…
Back in January, my colleague Jayson wrote an excellent article about leader design in SWU. If you haven’t read it already, I highly recommend taking a few minutes to do so! To recap, he outlined some common traits that good leaders usually have (solid stats, useful leader sides, resource cheating) and ones that not so…
This week was the Regional Championship in Bilbao, Spain and won by Talzin/Red. Which, as is traditional, makes me look really stupid for taking it off the Meta Snapshot. Anyways… Day 3 Meta Top Cut Winner Now, let’s talk snapshot changes from these results. The first is that Mother Talzin is apparently back? She clearly…
One of the most exciting cards we’ve seen from Secrets of Power is the uncommon Aggression unit Cinta. What looks like a fairly innocuous 6-cost unit with below curve stats could actually turn out to be quite the problem in the upcoming meta. Her text is very simple:“When Played: You may attack with a unit. …
This week was the largest event post-Force Throw ban, the Sector Qualifier in Portland Oregon. It was won by friend of the channel Bobby Sapphire with Palpatine/Yellow. Congratulations, Mike! This event gives us a clear picture of what the meta is now that throwing is no longer on the menu. Day1 Meta Day 2 Meta…
