Star Wars Unlimited General Discussion

[cedar moon]

I am definitely going to be playing around with him and the Quinlan leader

[green skiff]

I've been wanting to see space-heavy decks for a while now

[viral seal]

Is there a community of people playing Unlimited at Batuu? Just picked up some boosters and about to make a deck!

[mystic shore]

SET 3 NEXT WEEKEND HOLY CRAP.

[cedar moon]

My bank account is not ready

[urban bone]

Mine neither. I reserved one box

[viral seal]

Is anyone still able to find Spark of Rebellion? Seems like my LGS is sold out. Is that normal for other people?

[cedar moon]

I don't think the big reprint has hit stores yet. My LGS got some boxes awhile ago but they're reserved for weekly play prize support.

[mystic shore]

Once again, a showcase pull paid for my boxes this set.

HOWEVER

According to my LGS...Things are looking up on the whole "stock" thing soooo

[cedar moon]

I never sold my Cad Bane showcase lol

I'm never selling my Bo Katan showcase

[mystic shore]

SELL IT

[mystic shore]

Good!

[urban bone]

Nothing on my LGS

[green skiff]

My LGS got shafted previously, they got everything they ordered this time.

Attendance has dropped lately, lgs owner hopes set 3 is gonna make things pick up again. He thinks there’s also some Boba/Han burnout happening, and the meta should get shook up again with 3

[mystic shore]

Hope so, my LGS has experienced the same.

[fathom scroll]

Just picked up my pre-order from my local store. 4 boxes, and I'm doing two prereleases this weekend. I hope the showcase odds will favor me 🤞

[mystic shore]

Pre release DAAAAAAAAY

[cedar moon]

I'm doing one tomorrow!

And also Monday

[fathom scroll]

Good luck everyone!

[fathom scroll]

This mat is crisp

[green skiff]

LGS prerelease went well. Really liking the new deck and token mechanics so far

[mystic shore]

They’re just sitting there. TAUNTING ME.

[mystic shore]

Obi Wan Blue/Green/Hero is F U N

[candid coyote]

I managed to lose track of stuff. Just thought to check now. I've got two options for prereleases and they're each multiple hours away across the city. I think I'll just have to get a box somewhere online.

[mystic shore]

Legendary results from 4 boxes.

I’ll do my usual spreadsheet-ing soon and see where I’m at. But I have a feeling like set 2, I’m missing a bunch

[cedar moon]

Yeah, I'm still missing some from set 2

[cedar moon]

Nice pull!

[fathom scroll]

Thank you!!

My partner and I stayed up so late building decks last night, it was so much fun 😸

[cedar moon]

What decks did you guys build?

[fathom scroll]

So far we've done Maul green, Padmé yellow, Rex mono Green, Obi Wan mono blue, Nala Se green, and I have Anakin mono red on the way.

Oh and a count dooku blue on the way as well. What do you have in the works @cedar moon ?

[prisma hawk]

Pulled this in the same pack

[cedar moon]

I'm going to work on a Quinlan Vos deck!

I'll probably work on something else as well, but in the meantime I'll also make some tweaks to my Bo Katan deck

(gotta get Satine in there)

[prisma hawk]

Pulled Satine and Dark side Bo Katan yesterday

[cedar moon]

Nice!

I've only opened my prerelease kit and six extra packs so far. Another prerelease tonight, then I'll have my four boxes I can start opening

[fathom scroll]

I'm excited to see what you pull. We've opened two so far and will open another 2 tonight

[cedar moon]

I got a hyperspace Maul in my prerelease kit; that's the best/coolest pull for me so far!

[cedar moon]

Yellow Boba is suspended!

They actually did it

[urban bone]

Just got the news from my LGS discord

[green skiff]

[green skiff]

https://tenor.com/view/star-wars-falling-boba-fett-gif-19620929

that was a really good call. Everyone I've talked to is sick of Boba

[cedar moon]

fr fr (if I may use the parlance of the youths)

[green skiff]

Pulled this from my prize packs tonight!

It’s so pretty, blue and silver hues all over

[cedar moon]

Congrats!!!

[prisma hawk]

Got some solid pulls today actually got two of the ship

[candid coyote]

Clearly I really need to find a new store to play in now that the move is done 0_0

[urban bone]

Message from my lgs 😂

[candid coyote]

Quite the challenge!

[candid coyote]

Well poo. Went into the old FLGS at home and it seems that after the first set Universe just flat out died here. There's a little scene way out south of the city, but I'm not sure I want to sit on a train for an hour each way to maybe get games in now and then.

[twin wing]

My son and a friend split a few boxes and pulled this one.

[fathom scroll]

Congrats to your son!!

[mystic shore]

Nice!!!!

[green skiff]

I bet that’s gonna be a popular card, and of course all the show cases are worth $$

If I wasn’t planning on actually playing it, I probably would have flipped my Jango showcase for cash

[twin wing]

Yeah. They want to sell it, split it and, buy more cards. Lol

[green skiff]

From a gameplay perspective, that’s the way to go

[mystic shore]

YALL

https://starwarsunlimited.com/articles/jump-to-lightspeed

@cedar moon @green skiff @prisma hawk @urban bone

[green skiff]

just saw that, that looks cool. I've been wanting to see space heavy decks for a while. A few sentinels for ground by then concentrate on the space arena for everything

[fathom scroll]

Much hype

[mystic shore]

Yep!

Although red space anakin this set has been fun

[prisma hawk]

Not super excited to see the carbonite packs

[fathom scroll]

I can't disagree more, I can't wait to see what the alternate cards and prestige variants look like

[prisma hawk]

It usually means those packs are significantly more and I’m not down with paying 30’dollars for a pack of cards

[urban bone]

My wallet is going to bleed 🙈

They had all sets yesterday at my LGS

[cedar moon]

That Thrawn art 👀

[cedar moon]

You don't have to buy them; they're just variants. No unique cards.

[cedar moon]

Treasure acquired

[mystic shore]

😮

[cedar moon]

Their system is so janky lol

[cedar moon]

I sadly did not have time to play the devs but I hope they keep that option at future cons because my friends who did get to do it had a blast!

[twin wing]

Found this on eBay for $130. I really like the art in this one.

[mystic shore]

Nice!

[twin wing]

Anyone else putting the base sets together (1-250ish)? I'm almost finished with TWI and started SOR. I only need 6 more cards for TWI. Then some time after that I'll get to SOG.

[fathom scroll]

I'm not intentionally getting the sets, but I am building a cube for the first 3 sets so I'll probably complete the sets as I make progress with that

[twin wing]

Yeah. I didn't plan on it but I went in on a few boxes of TWI and SOR with my sons and ended up having most of the sets. I really like the layout and art of the cards.

[cedar moon]

CRYING SCREAMING THROWING UP

😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭

[mystic shore]

FFFFUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUU

[cedar moon]

I ran the first and probably only Quinlan Vos fansite in the 00s and this was the only showcase from this set I wanted 😭

[twin wing]

Nice!

[urban bone]

Gorgeous! 🥹

[twin wing]

So my son bought a case of SOR. I split the price with him on three boxes, and he used the final three for an unpaid draft tournament with friends and family at our church. He would keep the cards after the tournament. We received a Showcase Thrawn, one Vader unit, two Luke's (one is hyperspace), four Windu's (one foil, one hyperspace), and the rest of the Legendaries (some receiving one or more), except the one that he wanted most which was Command. It was a pretty good box for him and I. I'm building light side decks to start and he's building dark side decks so it was a good split for us. I have four boys and it's been fun connecting with them over this game with our mutual interests. We play twin suns mostly on the weekend and we started to play one vs one more to tune our decks. It was kind of a bad last year at least for me and this has been refreshing. Also, it's nice to see my kids playing with each other and not be on screens. I think it engages them in developing communication skills, reading instructions, conflict resolution, handling a loss, and good sportsmanship. Also it was a cool moment when my oldest shared his cards and built a deck for one of his younger brothers. I thought I would share how much a game like can make such a positive impact when you least expect it.

[cedar moon]

I love hearing stories about positive impacts of gaming. I'm glad you guys have been connecting over the game and I'm super jealous of that Thrawn showcase!

[mystic shore]

Love this

Star Wars: Unlimited by FFG (@UnlimitedFFG) on X

Duplicate “When Defeated” abilities to dominate the board when playing Admiral Thrawn in #StarWarsUnlimited

X · Jan 20, 2025, 4:00 PM

[cedar moon]

Hmmmmmmmmm

[charred sleet]

I just bought 3 starter decks (Spark of the Rebellion, Shadows of the Galaxy, and Twilight) just for the sake of collecting these… now I’m looking at SW:U game nights at local shops 😆

[mystic shore]

Welcome! 😄

[candid coyote]

Found somewhere local-ish selling un-used stock of the pre-release kit for Twilight of the Republic and grabbed one. I seem to have pulled really high cost cards almost across the board, and also all my tokens are clones. Would have been a poor pull at an event.

[haughty egret]

How popular is this game?

[candid coyote]

Seems very popular. Difficult to get cards sometimes.

[charred sleet]

TCG Player is a pretty decent source. I’ve also had luck on Amazon… although I’d prefer a local shop, but to your point- stock at shops is limited

[cedar moon]

Stock really hasn't been an issue in quite a while.

at least not in the States; can't speak for across the pond.

Stores have been selling booster boxes for $80

Spark of Rebellion may be the hardest to find, but it's still pretty available.

Set 4, Jump to Lightspeed, comes out next weekend in prerelease, so it's actually a really great time to get into the game!

[mystic shore]

And I’m not buying any of it

[mystic shore]

No LGS. Anymore. Closest one is 45 minutes away

[cedar moon]

Come visit. I've got like 6 within that distance

[candid coyote]

I found a place almist two hours away that does prerelease events but it's run by a dude banned from Age of Sigmar events worldwide for handling losses by getting naked so... I may also buy no cards.

[cedar moon]

Yikes on bikes

[candid coyote]

He's been a problem for decades. When I heard it happened from a country away I knew who it was instantly.

[candid coyote]

Turns out there was a different place doing it also almost two hours away, I went there, bombed my first round, rebuilt the deck on the advice of my opponant, then went 2-1 for both following rounds and came joint 2nd out of 12, with both me and the other guy in 2nd only losing to the eventual winner.

[cedar moon]

Nice!

I had 2 of 3 rounds go to time yesterday lol

[candid coyote]

My second round second game nearly went to time, and the other player scooped after doing maths and realising they couldn't kill me before deployed Vader leader swung again.

[mystic shore]

I'm sad to not have been in this set. I was so looking forward to space stuff. Ah well.

[faint hazel]

It’s such a bummer the “L” is totally missing from LGS for you. I guess you’ll just have to move to LA where the only problem you’ll have is what night NOT to game on! 😄

My JTL weekend (Friday night, Saturday afternoon) went really well and was tons of fun. Really digging the new pilot dynamic. Almost feels like a fresh new game all over again. Can’t wait to rebuild some of my other decks!

[cedar moon]

we're doing another prerelease tomorrow

[faint hazel]

Some of my weekend JTL highlights

[cedar moon]

niiiiice

Red 5 and Chimaera are the prestige cards I need to have

[faint hazel]

We have a third and final on Wednesday which is the usual SWU Night at my favorite LGS.

[cedar moon]

Nice!

I thought about going today but it's likely we'll do another prelease at my normal place next monday as well

well, if we have enough kits left over

but that's been the pattern since set 1

[cedar moon]

we can karabast at some point 👀

[faint hazel]

And just a heads-up for those you who aren’t aware: Carbonite packs (boosters and boxes) will not be reprinted! So once the first orders of the first run are gone, they’re GONE. This could mean these specific Prestige cards may never be available again.

[cedar moon]

I'm buying 1 carbonite pack tomorrow and then I'll seek out the specific cards I want.

[candid coyote]

Funnily enough it seems the pro strat is to go heavy sentinel in space and then just thow your commander onto a ground vehicle as pilot and swing for victory.

[candid coyote]

I actually sat down and re-thought this and I've managed to make a decent deck that doesn't rely too much on spawning B1s. Shame I missed this set being "live".

[twin wing]

My oldest son and I pulled this in our JTL case (split the cost). Learning the new set this weekend with my boys.

[candid coyote]

A great pull. I like Vader as a leader.

Especially once I realised he can pilot a ground vehicle to pop bonus TIEs for his escorts.

[mystic shore]

[pasodjfa[psdifjaopsdifja[opsedi;lfjnaeos[dil;gjknaesf

[twin wing]

My son is using him right for his current deck. I'm trying to build a Luke deck.

[candid coyote]

I found another store about an hour away that apparently had their prerelease stuff get returned to sender so they might be running a late one this week.

[main cloak]

I played my first games of this yesterday with my friend. He absolutely crushed me on every game, haha

[cedar moon]

I'm bringing a deck to Japan.

also, do you need cards? I probably have some extras with your name on them

[main cloak]

I was speaking to my other friend about playing some games in Japan in the evenings. I am planning on building a deck (will probably be an extremely terrible deck) but I shall bring it and we can play.

[cedar moon]

sweeeeeet

[main cloak]

Thankfully one of my few saving graces is that I don't mind losing at games

[main cloak]

I am going just build a deck in the field, keep playing until I find one that doesn't cause me to lose constantly, hehe

[cedar moon]

I lose at this game constantly lmao

I should be better at for how much I play

but whatever, I still have fun

[main cloak]

What do you run atm?

[cedar moon]

I haven't built a JTL deck yet so I still have my Quinlan with Tarkintown and my blue Bo-Katan mando deck

Bo is not meta in any way shape or form but it's a fun deck

[main cloak]

Which release was Quinlan and Bo in?

[cedar moon]

Quinlan is Twighlight of the Republic and Bo is Shadows of the Galaxy

[urban bone]

I may need to set a game night to finally learn how to play it. The girl that works on my LGS offer to teach me. Also, she doesn’t help my wallet. I was not thinking of getting the new set until she started showing me the cards. Now I’m mostly for the collection. 😂

Also, one of her coworkers got this card. They all are super excited about it.

At least I can’t complain. Got most of the ones I wanted in that box.

[cedar moon]

oooooh, nice hyperspace Phantom II!

[urban bone]

It’s all about the pictures for me, until I learn how to play. 😂

[main cloak]

For me it is the characters. I really want to try and build a deck that is 100% mandalorians

3/4 of my cards will cost at least 78 resources to play due to penalties, lol

[mystic shore]

It’s almost possible now.

[charred sleet]

I’ve been trying to put up Serialized Prestige Cards (I have 5 total) in trade for that 😂

[charred sleet]

That’s how I initially got hooked.. the artwork and characters. I dropped into my local shop and have played twice… it’s a lot to learn but it’s really fun.

[main cloak]

What do people use for tokens? You don't seem to be able to buy token cards on their own, and some of the ones used, like battle droids or clone troopers, come in 2-3 each time, and you get like 1 per booster pack I don't know how people have enough.

[fathom scroll]

You can use anything for tokens. We've used clone and droid mini figures, LEGOs. I think most get whole boxes and enough tokens come in those. If you wanted fancy versions, you can look up cool tokens people make on Etsy

[cedar moon]

If you need some I will bring you some

Or just ask literally any player who's been playing for a bit and they will drown you in spare bases

You can also get some in the starter decks, too.

[main cloak]

Thanks

I am 3D printing my own damage tokens so maybe I will make some of the other ones too

[candid coyote]

It's easier to search for the bases and just check which ones are which token.

Also as long as you have one reference card then you can just put whatever onto the table. Most people seem to have splurged on nice lasercut shield tokens on this side of the world, for example.

[cedar moon]

bases can be either token from the set

so each common base has four variants: normal/token 1, normal/token 2, hyperspace/token 1, hyperspace/token 2

[candid coyote]

I completely did not notice that. Every duplicate base I've pulled has just been the same token.

[cedar moon]

I've been trying to keep 2 of each variant 😂

[main cloak]

I'll be playing with a starter deck at celebration so be gentle.

I am starting to build a deck though, but it wont be ready by then

[cedar moon]

I will probably bring starter decks also actually

[main cloak]

I'll be bringing 2 so anyone else who wants to play can

[cedar moon]

which starters will you bring?

I can bring different ones

[main cloak]

I have the Twilight of the Republic

[cedar moon]

all right cool. I'll bring not those

I didn't buy them yet, but I'll probably grab the Jump to Lightspeed spotlight decks

[charred sleet]

Those are fun because they also come with a booster pack 😍

[median briar]

ok ok ok, so hear me out: My husband plays SWU, but I've never played a CCG before. Like ever.

But we were at the game shop, and there it was, in all of its glory:

So then I'm like, ok. Technically, these sleeves make every card into an Ackbar. So I could play a game of only Ackbars.

And decided this was a great excuse to make a completely Ackbar themed deck and tokens, because I love Ackbar and making things and appealing to my inner troll nature:

So now we're like, I dunno. 3 weeks in.

I've raided my husband's collection for all of his extra Ackbars. I've designed, lasercut, and painted custom flan themed tokens. My deckbox is themed with a Magnitude print, I've got an awesome Ackbar shirt to wear, and now I'm programming a custom Arduino score counter that displays tiny Ackbars on a tiny OLED screen:

Meanwhile... I STILL DON'T KNOW HOW TO PLAY SWU.

So what I'm trying to say is... halp? >.>

I've tried playing some games on Force Table, and I still have no idea what I'm doing. Any tips on how to not completely suck at this game?

[mystic shore]

I love you @median briar

[candid coyote]

I think you have already won TBH.

[mystic shore]

https://starwarsunlimited.com/articles/legends-of-the-force

holy shit

@cedar moon

[cedar moon]

I saw the leak yesterday 🙈

please give me a Quinlan unit card 🙏

I'm all in on Thrawn this set but next set I will likely be all in on Quin (again)

[main cloak]

Baylan and Nightmothers!!

[cedar moon]

I do hope we get enough cards for a cool nightsister deck also

[main cloak]

https://tenor.com/view/despicable-me-agnes-gif-22346065

[mystic shore]

Well

How about that premier ban list update..

[cedar moon]

thank the maker

maybe now the price of my cad bane showcase will go up

since at least some folks running cunning decks will swap to cad next lol

[charred sleet]

Get an Ackbar showcase leader, use the sleeves and build a deck!

[charred sleet]

When Jango is in like 95% of the decks at regionals 🤷🏻‍♂️ But honestly screw TDR lol

[main cloak]

Dammit, Jango was the leader for my mando deck build as he is only leader that I have that comes close to a mando

[cedar moon]

I can see what set 2 leaders I might still have for

[cedar moon]

THIS! IS! NOT! A! DRILL!

@urban bone LOOK AT HERRRRRR

[urban bone]

BY THE FORCE!

[mystic shore]

https://starwarsunlimited.com/articles/mysteries-of-the-force

[main cloak]

The Trilla one is pretty cool

[cedar moon]

VECTORRRRR

Also looks like we may only be getting 4 THR cards but it's worded in a way that it could be more, just from other novels

[urban bone]

👀

[candid coyote]

https://melee.gg/Decklist/View/e1bb8b4a-14c2-4f67-aff6-b2d1016baf02 wild cheap deck. Went 22nd in the Lille tournament. Costs less than €5 to buy the whole thing.

[urban bone]

Forgot to post. Look what my LGS manager gifted me.

[candid coyote]

The Ghost is a truly wonderful ship, and that combo makes it damn nasty.

[mystic shore]

https://fb.watch/zz7u6gFDq0/

Holy shiz

[urban bone]

YES

[main cloak]

https://starwarsunlimited.com/articles/the-stuff-of-legends I know who my leader is going to be in a force build, lol

[candid coyote]

Mono-aspect leader sounds like a real questionable choice, but I want to see how they work it.

[cedar moon]

It's really powerful though

[jade cloud]

I've been away. My phone died and I couldn't find my code to get back into discord once I got it fixed. Anyways. My son and I ordered a case of LOTF. Also I got news about my showcases getting graded.

[mystic shore]

Love it

[mystic shore]

So uh

ya'll see the new leader

[urban bone]

OMGoodness!!! I NEED!!!!! 😻😻😻

[jade cloud]

My oldest just ran into my room to show me. He said it would work for one of his decks.

[cedar moon]

I did and I'm going to spend so much money getting a showcase

[candid coyote]

Yeah that's going to drop fast and be a Must Kill target. Otherwise she'll dominate you.

[candid coyote]

You're giving up a lot of flexibility for that power, and it relies on you having units that can kill without dying that fit into just two aspects. It's going to be real interesting to see what people manage to make from it.

[main cloak]

The new Kanan leader seems ok, but only if you build a spectre deck

Third sister seems like she has a cool ability

Qui-gon looks pretty decent too

[cedar moon]

tbh I stopped looking at leaders once they dropped Avar

[main cloak]

Yeah I feel that getting a force token every phase puts her up top

[cedar moon]

she will be slow to flip, but green has some ramp options

[main cloak]

Yeah defo a late game unit

[fathom scroll]

I tested Avar double green with a friend and she was FUN. very satisfying plays, and I'm hoping there are more green cards yet to be revealed that will let her use the force in interesting ways

[cedar moon]

Niiice

I'll probably build yellow so I can get that Vern card in there

[mystic shore]

@green skiff - Are you hitting pre-release in Melbourne?

[green skiff]

No, I actually haven’t been playing in a while because of a combination of time and money going elsewhere

[cedar moon]

I told myself I wasn't gonna buy a book today b/c I want to do a couple prerelease events, but that turned out to be a lie.

but I will still be doing a couple prerelease events

[candid coyote]

Hit one prerelease here that ended up being run with whatever boxes of boosters it was possible to get from other stores. Seems like distribution is terrible here compared to the UK. On the plus side I pulled my first showcase. Snoke is even playable, which is nice.

[candid coyote]

Looks like the kits have arrived, along with some more prize material, and we can have another event on Thursday! Hurrah!

[cedar moon]

That's good!

I did 4 prereleases over 5 days and apparently now spouse and I will be playing a round of sealed limited with our prize packs lol

[candid coyote]

Nice.

Turns out the original gaming shop in the city that didn't bother with the game is also running a pre-release this weekend, and I can actually get there.

I am probably not going to, because three in one week is too many.

Lol, the bad shop has not gotten stock yet and has had to cancel their pre-release. Oh well.

[jade cloud]

My son and I split another case of LOF. We pretty much got the whole base set and all of the legendaries except one, plus the Kylo Ren showcase. He went to the Sector Qualifier w/ VIP that happened to be near our house. He seemed to have a good time with his friends. One friend made it to the second day and lost to YouTuber Random NumberGaming. I play casual with my sons and don't have enough time to keep up with something like a tournament.

[cedar moon]

Yeah I'm the same way. I play at weeklies and do store showdowns but I'm just there to have fun

Though I may try a PQ since we have 2 near us this time

I feel like it would be a good learning experience

[candid coyote]

The store I have played at a couple of times is getting a PQ, which given how small the comunity is here seems like it'll be a great way to skip day 1 if you did want to progress.

I'll just head along for the participation prizes.

[mystic shore]

https://starwarsunlimited.com/articles/secrets-of-power

[charred sleet]

Might have gone a little crazy again for LOF like I did with JTL 😬

[candid coyote]

On the other hand, you'll have a real nice display so who is to say what's crazy?

[charred sleet]

My Qui Gon and Kit Fisto are missing. 😆

[urban bone]

I’m still on the hunt for Avar, but I got a Grogu Legendary today on a pack

[candid coyote]

What are the card protectors called? I feel like I should invest in a few for the occasional good pulls I get.

[urban bone]

I have 2 versions

https://a.co/d/iPWecT9

https://a.co/d/9hc8W6H

[candid coyote]

Thanks, I will see what's available over here.

[urban bone]

No legendary this time, but happy I got the daughter

[cedar moon]

Nice! I still need more of her for my Avar deck

[urban bone]

If I get extras, I’ll send them your way

[candid coyote]

I pulled that in my second pre-release, and played her wrong the first time. Then I realised what she actually does and it was wild.

"I hit your base for one" "Cool, I use the force, heal for two. My activation, I swing with a Jedi, regain the force. Your activation".

In one round I managed to use Kelleran Beq to pop Yoda, while having The Daughter out. Was basically a scoop for my opponant.

[urban bone]

That’s awesome

[candid coyote]

Yeah, this set has some great interactions like that. Mace Windu and Kellern Beq is very very fun too.

[charred sleet]

Hey- sorry for the delay- I use these;

https://www.amazon.com/Slide-Card-Cases-Hard-Shell-Innovative/dp/B0CDM7BWBX

[candid coyote]

No problem, thanks for following up.

[somber shard]

I’d like to get started playing. I’ve seen a good bit of advice from other sites recommending one should start with Spark of the Rebellion. Do you all agree with that? Or should I go for one of the newer releases? Thanks!

[cedar moon]

A new starter set called Battle of Hoth is coming soon, and that will be a great place to start!

If you don't want to wait I'd look at any of the starter sets or spotlight decks. The starter set for spark has Luke and Vader (classic), but set rotation kicks in soon, so Spark of Rebellion, Shadows of the Galaxy, and Twilight of the Republic will no longer be legal in the standard format.

Personally I think Jump to Lightspeed (set 4) is a ton of fun, and the spotlight decks (prebuilt decks) are Han and Boba Fetr, and each come with a booster pack, which is fun

Also recommend seeing if any game or comic stores near you host weekly play. The community is generally pretty great and you will likely find friendly folks willing to teach you the rules and give you their extra common/uncommon cards!

Feel free to ping me with specific questions, I love this game and want to see it thrive!

[somber shard]

I was concerned about buying that old set for that reason. And while I want to play with my son truth be told I will probably end up at my local game store. There is a big one right near me and they play Unlimited every Thursday night. Thanks for the advice!

Yeah, jumping into weeklies is really the best way to get into the game imho!

[candid coyote]

100% this. Get into the local community and you will find they will throw old cards at you to help you get upto speed.

Or even new cards in some cases. There's a couple that play in the place that's near-ish to me and they pool their stuff so at the second pre-release event they were wandering around distributing their duplicate leaders to people.

[mystic shore]

Not bad for two packs I pulled from target randomly

[cedar moon]

Did not know they were selling older sets at Target! Thought it was just the new one.

[somber shard]

They had Twilight of the Republic and Jump to Lightspeed at my target. I didn’t get a chance to go to my game store yet but couldn’t resist buying a pack for fun. I got a hyperspace Poe card for my first leader!

[mystic shore]

They have the current and last set.

[cedar moon]

Twi is two sets ago. Current is LOF, last set is JTL

[prisma hawk]

Im looking to get out of the hobby and to get rid of my stuff. I have complete sets for the first 3 set and bought a box of the jedi set plus tons of commons and uncommons. Any one have any idea what a good price would be

[cedar moon]

plug the rares and legendaries into TCGPlayer

[mystic shore]

^ Thats the only way you're going to come close to finding a price.

[prisma hawk]

I have answers: SOR 198.67 SOG: 125.91

[mystic shore]

Man...those sets did NOT age well...holy crap.

[cedar moon]

Shadows that doesn't surprise me. The only cards that regularly see play from that set are Krayt, Poe, and timely intervention

That Spark price seems low to me though

... But apparently prices have really bottomed out on what used to be the top cards

Vader is at 17, slb around 10, Avenger around 10

[prisma hawk]

Im going to check twilight later ill let you all know how it comes out

[cedar moon]

I assume that price is just for 1 of each and not a full playset though

3 Lukes will run you $75

[cedar moon]

Set rotation kicks in after this current set, but people still run a lot of Spark cards regularly

[prisma hawk]

Yes one of each. I dont really have time to find a community near by to play on a regular basis but obviously a huge fan so it was mostly about collecting but now i need the money for other things

[prisma hawk]

Twilight is rough…67.74

[mystic shore]

OOF

[prisma hawk]

Did the math on everything i have it comes out around 600

[candid coyote]

I am happy I didn't get into this for the money.

[mystic shore]

We’ve gone Pokémon on the bit

[cedar moon]

I am actually excited about this--it's a great deal for 8 booster packs!

I think we're going to try to do a chaos limited night with these at my LGS

[mystic shore]

Oh absolutely

[fathom scroll]

THAT'S SUCH A GOOD IDEA, I'm gonna suggest that at my lgs

[cedar moon]

We are drafting Spark tonight, I'm so excited

[cedar moon]

Well he's not Thrawn but...

[fathom scroll]

Nice! I think that's one of the showcases that really stands out this set imo

[mystic shore]

NICE

[candid coyote]

Bought some packs from a small shop at a one-day con yesterday and pulled a fistfull of useful uncommons and a foil Oggdo Boggdo. A Good Sunday.

[cedar moon]

Got tickets to Galactics this morning . . . what a mess that was lol

[fathom scroll]

I hope you have fun! Did you go last year? My husband and I did; we had a blast but it was very physically exhausting lol. We played super sealed events each day. I think we're going to skip it this year.

In favor of trying to save for star wars celebration

[cedar moon]

No, we didn't go last year. And almost certainly won't go next year because of Celebration

[candid coyote]

So is pulling two legendaries in one pack a thing that happens regularly? I just opened a Legends of the Force booster and got a Hyperspace HK-47 and regular The Father in it. The shiny was BD-1.

[cedar moon]

it's pretty rare, but it does happen

that's a good pack!

[candid coyote]

Three legendaries in this pre-release kit.

I wandered into the central Dublin nerd shop to get four packs to open, and due to the game not taking off in there they've got all their old kits up for sale at 20% off, which means for like four euro more you end up getting six packs + all the other gubbinz. No-brainer deal.

My goal was "maybe I'll pull a HK-47" so I'm pretty happy here.

[fathom scroll]

We played with the new twin suns decks last night and had a blast!! I think they really knocked it out of the park with designing each one. Each deck had old staples as well as fun new rares. and this game lasted longer than our typical twin suns games which we appreciated. Our play group likes longer twin suns games

[cedar moon]

I haven't had a chance to play with them yet, but I'm excited to!

Sometimes we add 10 health to each base to make the games last longer :)

[fathom scroll]

yeah we've tried the same on occasion as a house rule

[cedar moon]

ELZAR MANN

[urban bone]

WHAT????!!!!

I’m still looking for Avar 😭

Look at that stressed boy 🥹

[fathom scroll]

He is getting slotted into my Rey deck as soon as I can get my hands on three

[mystic shore]

THAT

is a great card.
