Tyler: Today, we’re joined by our guest author, Matt! @fattyg_ A big thanks to Matt for sharing with us all. We hope y’all enjoy his off-meta decks! ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ To Meta, or Not to Meta…? That is the question that you will hopefully have answered for yourself after delving into these three off-meta decks. Here, you’ll…
Episode 4 | Liberation Day On Wednesday FFG, much like Kylo Ren, did what they knew they had to do and added Jango, Triple Dark Raid, and DJ to the suspended list. Was this enough? Was this too much? Read on to join us for our thoughts! ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Justin— Well, it’s official boys, the ban…
Thirty-six ships entered the bracket.They came from every corner of the galaxy: heroes, villains, bounty hunters, smugglers, and strategists.Some soared, some sputtered, and some were vaporized in spectacular fashion. After a nail-biter of a finale, with the fate of the galaxy hanging by a thread (and at least one Porg chewing through a voting cable),…
By now, everyone that has been tuned into Star Wars Unlimited knows that Carbonite packs exist for Jump to Lightspeed. Similar to Collector’s Boosters in other games, this new method of packaging brings us so many cool things from guaranteed hyperspace cards, easier to pull legendaries, much higher drop rate of showcases, and of course…
This is it. After weeks of wild matchups, close calls, shocking upsets, and absolute blowouts, the bracket has boiled down to two ships, Sabine’s Masterpiece vs. The Devastator. One is a burst of creativity, rebellion, and unexpected wins. The other is a massive wedge of Imperial terror that’s crushed nearly everything in its path. This is…
We’re delaying our normal Meta Monday update this week on account of the FFG livestream scheduled for Wednesday. We hope there are some changes since Jango has now taken 7 of 12 Top 4 spots in Regional Qualifiers. But since we can’t be sure what FFG will do, we’re holding off on making changes. Instead,…
After a quick break for our April Fool’s joke, we’re back with the meta report! This week featured the first large tournaments of the organized play season for Jump to Lightspeed and we’re making three removals, an addition, and two swaps based on what we saw. There were two large tournaments over the weekend, the…
The galaxy held its breath. The tension could’ve shorted out a hyperdrive. And now, it’s official—two ships remain, standing tall atop the wreckage of all the others. Sabine’s Masterpiece over Blue Leader (43-32) Blue Leader came in as the embodiment of Rebellion grit, sharp flying, clean tactics, and a legacy rooted in sacrifice. But it…
It’s time we brought up the elephant in the room, that no one else is talking about. Jango Fett in Milan. What’s that? Everyone is talking about Jango? And nothing else? Well, that’s awkward. Backup plan, Carbonite boxes… No, that’s old news. Finn? No, no-one cares about Finn. I know, let’s talk pilots and the impact…
In a surprising and unprecedented response to the overperformance of Jango Fett at last week’s Milan Sector Qualifier, FFG has announced their intention to remove Boba Fett, Collecting the Bounty from the suspended list. This announcement means that Boba can yet again be played in constructed tournaments, effective immediately. To quote the official announcement from…
This is it. The bracket has chewed up all the other ships and spit them out. Only four remain—each one a legend in its own right, each one just two wins away from eternal Porg Madness glory. The matchups are fierce, the stakes are sky-high, and there’s no room left for hesitation. These aren’t just ships anymore—they’re…
The game’s structural factors point that way For those of you who didn’t play Star Wars: Destiny, a bit of history. Destiny was the spiritual forefather of SWU in many ways and multiple SWU designers (notably Jeremy Zwirn) spent time on that game. From the earliest days of Destiny, there were grumbles about how Villian…
The dust has settled on the Elite Eight, and what a round it was. Legends fell, upstarts rose, and one matchup came down to a single vote – proof that every Porg in the galaxy counts. Here’s how it all went down: Sabine’s Masterpiece over Millennium Falcon (55-54) Call it the upset of the bracket…
A good aggro leader has some specific qualities that make them more easily fit that role in the meta than others. They need to deploy as early as possible. Their leader ability should impact the game state right away. They should be able to deal damage directly to your opponents base as easily as possible. …
Only eight ships remain. Every one of them has dominated their competition so far, but the road ahead is anything but easy. The weak are gone, the underdogs have proven themselves, and now, every matchup is a battle between giants. These ships have carved their way through the bracket with speed, firepower, tactics, and sheer…
This week is the first week of organized play for Jump to Lightspeed and we’re making two additions and one swap on the snapshot based on what we’re seeing. One of the most certain things in curating this list is that the moment I drop a list off the snapshot, that list will inevitably win…
The battlefield has been cleared, and only the Elite 8 remain. Some victories were hard-fought, others were absolute annihilations. The closer we get to the finals, the more brutal the competition becomes. Let’s break down the carnage: Millennium Falcon over Black One (29-21) The Resistance’s finest put up a fight, but when it comes to legendary status, the Falcon…
When SWU launched, I wrote an article on SWU’s cost curve and how units from that set fit into it. Now that Jump to Lightspeed is upon us, it’s time to expand that series with an examination of Set 4’s cards and mechanics. Let’s have a look at the new mechanics and cost trends hitting…
Jump to Lightspeed, the fourth Star Wars Unlimited set from FFG, has just been released so obviously this means it’s time to start speculating about the fifth set, Legends of the Force. ** Small disclaimer up front. This is all entirely speculation and at this time Porg Depot has no advance knowledge of anything coming…
The opening rounds are over. The pretenders have been left in the dust. What remains are 16 of the fiercest, fastest, and most formidable ships in the galaxy, each one clawing for a spot in the Elite 8. The matchups are tougher, the stakes are higher, and the Porgs are watching closely. Some ships have cruised to easy…
Today, we’re rolling out our first Meta Snapshot for Star Wars: Unlimited constructed play incorporating Set 4, Jump to Lightspeed. 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 4. If you want to skip straight…
The first round of the Villain side bracket has wrapped up, and the carnage is real. Some matchups were closer than expected, others were outright dominations, but in the end, only eight villain ships remain. Let’s break down the destruction: Corvus over The Invisible Hand (35-30) This one went down to the wire, but in the end,…
The first round of the Hero side bracket is complete, and the voters have spoken. Some ships soared, some sputtered, and a few matchups were never even close. The Top 16 is taking shape, and the competition is only getting tougher from here. Let’s break it down: Blue Leader over Red Leader (46-14) A dominant…
The heroes are having their fun, but now it’s time for some real power players to join the stage. These ships weren’t built for heroics or desperate last stands—they were designed to dominate. Whether through brute force, ruthless efficiency, or sheer terror, each one has left its mark on the galaxy. But in this bracket, only the…
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…
