Congrats to @unlimitedffg.bsky.social & @davflamerock.bsky.social
for designing a very cool SWU set with this type of flexibility.

@nerdparker.com & @unlimitedlimited.bsky.social - one test build in, sealed trilogy seems to work!

Mavrik @ajmavrik.bsky.social · 1d

Overall, I think the format works well. The booster box distribution seems to help with having enough cards for 3 complete builds.

Biggest issue is time - it takes a lot to open packs, sort, design & deck build. Having a 1 hour time limit is challenging, encourages efficiency & knowing the set.

3rd Deck - Luthen Green

Luthen is interesting. His ability wants his units to be defeated making it difficult to maintain a board. In limited, I think the ability works best with tokens. Pairing with green helps get those.

Unveiled Might or Dresselian Commandos seem great on his flip.

2nd deck - Dedra Blue

Dedra is all about stalling long enough to drop haymakers. Pairing with blue (for removal) or green (for ambush) seems natural.

Sudden Ferocity + Aggressive Negotiations is worth delaying her flip if the opponent has been letting you draw cards with her leader ability.

1st deck - Leia Yellow

A strong leader in limited (similar to LOF Snoke). I was careful to include a balance of single aspect cards in each color to trigger her ability.

One of my fav cards for Leia is the A-Wing in cunning. She can buff it to a 2/3 Raid 1 on turn 1. Demands a response.

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!

Mavrik @ajmavrik.bsky.social · 2d

Here is the overall pool. Had a ton of options with Red Villain and Yellow Hero being strengths.

Ended up on Dedra Blue though Jabba Red/Green, Yularen Red/Blue, Padme Red/Green, or Mothma Yellow were all viable.

Mavrik @ajmavrik.bsky.social · 2d

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.

And it gives a way of playing set specific Trilogy without going through the hassle of designing/creating fully optimized 50 card decks.

Mavrik @ajmavrik.bsky.social · 5d

It would definitely be an interesting deck building challenge. And satisfies my need to not just rip packs for the sake of ripping packs.

Mavrik @ajmavrik.bsky.social · 5d

Hear me out.

Sealed. Trilogy.

12 packs. 12 leaders. 12 bases. 168 playables. 3 30 card decks. No sideboard.

😳😅😆

Mavrik @ajmavrik.bsky.social · 8d

As a draft leader, I’m struggling a bit to identify C/UC cards that C-3PO wants. What are some of those cards you are looking for when drafting him? Is there a SEC card that steers you towards C-3PO when you see it?

Mavrik @ajmavrik.bsky.social · 8d

Sly had no business going this hard.

🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥

Mavrik @ajmavrik.bsky.social · 11d

Gotta love traveling abroad! Even better when on the company dime. Have a fun & safe trip.

What deck you duelin’ with?

Mavrik @ajmavrik.bsky.social · 16d

I’ll also say, this particular characterization was one of my LEAST favorite from the Clone Wars show. I hoped for a legitimate villain, not comic relief.

Mavrik @ajmavrik.bsky.social · 16d

I would like him more if his return to hand was an option… or if he also returned any upgrades on him to hand.

For a character that liked collecting sabers, this unit is a terrible platform for them.

Nonetheless, seems like a fun card.

Mavrik @ajmavrik.bsky.social · 17d

Yeah that was a good switch. Jar Jar dealing with laws would have felt weird.

Mavrik @ajmavrik.bsky.social · 19d

Awesome card reveal - EXTREMELY well done!!

Even if you have seen the spoilers elsewhere, I encourage you to watch the spoiler video itself.

Enjoyed the article! Great to peel back those curtains on early leader design decisions.

Now the game is ‘in the wild’ with 5 sets released, what has been a learning/takeaway the team has realized when designing future leaders?

Mavrik @ajmavrik.bsky.social · Oct 3

Congrats on the previews! And also great to see you’re back to making #SWU content. Always enjoyed your thoughts.

Will Force Five be returning? I realize that was quite the task but I enjoyed the series.

Mavrik @ajmavrik.bsky.social · Oct 1

Soooo… the woman in the background of Bail’s leader card is Sheltay Retrac. In legends (Heir to the Empire), she was the mother of Winter Celchu, Leia’s childhood friend/companion & eventual Rebel spy.

Here’s hoping for a card for Winter in this set! One of my fav characters from legends. 🤞🏻

Mavrik @ajmavrik.bsky.social · Sep 30

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.

#BailOrgana

Star Wars: Unlimited Presented by FFG @unlimitedffg.bsky.social · Sep 30

The leader card Bail Organa will never stop fighting for the Rebellion! Deploy him multiple times with his reuseable deploy action in #StarWarsUnlimited

Mavrik @ajmavrik.bsky.social · Sep 26

I’m going to give props to Ackbar DV. It has some legs. Or maybe I just know someone that pilots it incredibly well. So many X-Wings. 😬

Mavrik @ajmavrik.bsky.social · Sep 16

So thematically on point with his ability! Absolutely love him!!

#LuthenRael

Star Wars: Unlimited Presented by FFG @unlimitedffg.bsky.social · Sep 16

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
