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…

After the recent reveal from FFG and some furious scribbling, the porgs in PorgDepot’s top-secret analytics division have done it. They’ve crunched the numbers, pecked at the spreadsheets, and finally unlocked what no one thought possible: a new infinite loop in Star Wars Unlimited. Infinite Loop Explained The combo involves the Grand Inquisitor, Darth Traya,…

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…

Last week, FFG banned Force Throw, shaking up the meta prior to Sectors and Regionals. However, they did not put the ban into effect immediately, making this past weekend the last with the meta in its current state. The question is now: What will the meta be without Force Throw? A large share of the…

For most deckbuilders, Star Wars: Destiny was a fun game, but a bit of a letdown in terms of the color pie. The game was often dominated by “rainbow” decks that ran all three colors and therefore had essentially no deckbuilding restriction. Furthermore, there was no fixed incentive to run only a single color. Sure,…

Rumors are spreading across the galaxy.Whispers drift through dimly lit cantinas.Small, shadowy shapes slip through the alleys of Mos Eisley.Glasses of blue milk left behind…shaken, not stirred. The Porg Intelligence Agency (P.I.A.) has gone into overdrive, pulling operatives from hidden safe-houses to track these invisible threats. But every lead ends the same way:A faint chirp.A…

Welcome to our latest installment of Cantina Decks, our series of thematic budget decks for Star Wars Unlimited! Since it’s been a while since our previous episode (our sincerest apologies!) let’s refresh everyone on what we do here. What’s A Cantina Deck?  Cantina Decks are a set of decks that are meant to be built…

Lobot – Cloud City Coordinator Two resources for a Vigilance unit with Sentinel.  We’ve seen this basic blueprint before with Pyke Sentinel and Loth-Wolf each of which has a slight variation from the other. Either of these units can be traded with during the second round by a number of similarly cost round one playable…

This week, we’re doing the hardest thing we’ve ever had to do at Garbage Rollers, which is say farewell to one of our own. For personal reasons, Jayson (@ImpossibleGerman) is having to step down from our team and take an indefinite break from content creation. While we’d love to have him back, we know work…

A spicy Andor character that everyone loves to hate and loves to love, Dedra Meero is an amazing villainous character brought to life by the talented Denise Gough. Finally appearing in Star Wars Unlimited, her new leader card is something people probably cannot wait to get their hands on. Potentially the best turn one play…

We’ve already seen some Plot cards revealed.  Now we get a look at one that could potentially be quite bonkers in terms of its reach. Preview video from Swoop Racers already covered this but we wanted to write about it anyway. Still give their video a view if you can. The first question to ask…

This weekend, the Garbage Rollers played in their first limited PQ here in Dallas, where we had a great time. Thank you to the great folks at Common Ground Games, especially our extremely professional judge crew! If you want to check out the replay (including me, @DJStormtrooper, in the semi-finals!), it was generously streamed by…

Collector Psychology in Card Games If you play collectible card games, you probably don’t just play it. You collect it. You organize binders, chase foils, fill sets, and maybe even keep a sealed box or two tucked away. But why? Why do we hoard cardboard, when we know rationally we don’t need every variant, every foil, every promo? The…

If you’ve played a Trading Card Game, you know it’s part skill and part luck. Random factors like what cards you get and what cards are stuck on the bottom of your deck make a huge difference in outcomes. Likewise, the factors within your control- what plays you make, their timing, what you choose to…

Porg Depot is happy to announce our latest tool… Potential Top Deals List Geared towards those that are interested in getting the best deals around the PORGtential Top Deals List (aka Potential Deal List) shows the top 20 cards sorted by how much of a potential “discount” or savings there currently is for each card…

This weekend continued the Planetary Qualifier season for Legends of the Force in earnest with events all over the globe. Including the first limited PQs! With FFG declining to make adjustments to the meta (specifically Force Throw) we’re probably looking at a stable meta for the remainder of the season. The decks winning events largely…

Guest author Dan, aka The Flying Writer, joins us from in between galavanting across the skies. He brings a wealth of knowledge on Star Wars Unlimited in general and in this case specifically Twin Suns. First, I’d like to thank the team here at Porg Depot for giving me an opportunity to write on their…

One of the most common complaints I hear from players about SWU is that the mechanics of one set don’t get support down the line. For example, FFG makes the Smuggle mechanic in Shadows of the Galaxy, players love it, and then… poof… it’s never seen again. There are some really good motivations for FFG…

What does it take? In Danny Schaefer’s own words from the first suspension article posted on the Star Wars Unlimited website back in November of 2024: We will largely be looking at metagame dominance—especially the share of Top 8 and winning decklists—in Competitive-tier events as a primary metric in determining when to take action. We’ll…

This weekend began the Planetary Qualifier season for Legends of the Force in earnest with events all over the globe. The winningest deck was one we’ve resisted adding to the snapshot for a considerable time now, Boba4/Data Vault. Our initial take on this deck was that burn wouldn’t be a viable strategy in set 5…
