#SWU Prerelease #2 - My card pool was absolutely cracked. Built two VERY strong decks.
Padme Red AND Jabba Green!
Both builds had control synergies with Padme more aggressive and Jabba better top end & removal options.
Went with Jabba for the 3 round Bo3 event and he did not disappoint!

New idea for #SWU - Sealed Trilogy!
12 packs
12 leader choices
168 playables
All other trilogy rules apply -
• No sideboard
• Each player bans 1 opposing deck
• Must win two games, one with each remaining deck.
Tested with a set 6 booster box. Had good results!

Decent showing at my first #SWU @unlimitedffg.bsky.social Prerelease event for #SecretsOfPower.
4-1 overall in Bo1 games using Dedra Blue!
• Sabe Red 1-0
• Leia Green 1-0
• Jabba Green 1-0
• Leia Red 0-1
• Satine Red 1-0
Fun design on Dedra. She can play aggro or control, depending on her pool.

Yooooo. This #SWU leader is suuuuuper interesting. Repeatable deploy. Possible discard recursion. The ultimate resource row manipulator.
Really like this design. Quite the deck building puzzle.

Your Luthen Rael leader card wants to make sure all of your battles are meaningful, allowing your units to deal damage to a base or another unit if they are defeated in #StarWarsUnlimited

I’ve been working with @swucube.bsky.social to revive the #SWU Battle Box series on his channel. It’s one of my favorite series about what the game can do on the casual level. This is highlighting a Nala Se build from Twilight (with some other sets sprinkled in)!

Had a rough time at #SWU locals last night, going 0-2 (and getting the final bye) with Gar ECL. Both match losses to Anakin 28Blue - a matchup I typically feel good about.
I threw myself a pity party and purchased a prerelease box for some sealed build practice.
What would you build with this?

Now I think I understand why the #SWU developers were high on Legal Authority from Shadows of the Galaxy. Turns out, it’s real good in set 5 Gar Saxon… which just happens to be what they were developing/playtesting when Set 2 released.
Also, LOF Vader is nutty. As he should be.

As part of a deal to get a buddy to go to a #SWU Legends of the Force prerelease, I had to agree I would, in turn, go to a CrossFit class with him. Time to pay up tonight.

First world problem - It would really be nice if my local LGS would decide & post the #SWU format of the week more than a day prior to the event.
I guess I should count myself lucky they do different formats every week to keep things from getting stale. But it does make it difficult to plan.

Having a great time so far! Day 1 was a little rough on the event organization side of things but they got it cleaned up for day 2.
Played Kenobi Vergence Temple in the main event (Fri) and lost my first match on the last action when time was called. Bummer!

Let's be honest: we had a rocky first year of Star Wars Unlimited. Some extremely high highs, but also some pretty major fumbles. So, what were the lessons that the design team has learned from the first three sets, in retrospect? #FFGStaffr starwarsunlimited.com/articles/beh...
