STUDS & DUDS! - Leaders that will RISE and FALL in Star Wars Unlimited!

Nice video cool thoughts

How do you feel about Cassian's ability? Does he have more play later on or too generic?

Appreciate the analysis. I disagree on Luke and Hera though. The devs have said many times there is a set 2 shield deck with Luke as the leader that is particularly good and fun, and during the Shadows preview stream, they teased that that deck is enabled by a 4 cost blue hero unit due out in set 2. So I think, at least in the immediate future, Luke's stock might actually be rising. As for Hera, her strength is not the Spectres themselves, but the fact that she has a good chance of being the most efficient double aspect leader because she gets around the aspect penalty. So she has lots of room to grow, not just with Spectres, but also as the green hero, double green, and unique unit card pool expands.

My concern for Leia is that we won't see ANY rebels in the upcoming set. The main focus for the set is The Mandalorian show, which lore wise is set after the rebellion has succeeded against the Empire. I've been told that The Bad Batch is also represented, which is still set during the rebellion from what I've been told (I'm not an expert on Star Wars lore and am relying on a friend for this). Of the cards that have been shown so far Heroism units have (with a few exceptions) been either Fringe-Clone (Bad Batch) or Mandalorian. Obviously we haven't seen all of the set yet but they have revealed 12 heroism units with no rebels among them, while the 8 Villainous units shown include 3 Imperials. If there are any rebels from the set my guess is that they just haven't shown any because they're focusing on showcasing lore and leader relevant cards for the set, and Moff Gideon being Imperial is why they've shown off Imperial units. I just hope Leia won't be completely left behind in future sets with no new rebels to add.

After playing inquisitor I totally agree with you at least on him. Just imagine if he was sabine with that power instead? A-Wing + Wing Leader (10 damage potential on turn 2), Red Three in general.

I totally agree with your choices :) I expect to see one day a Chirrut combo/OTK deck where you will stack buffs on Chirrut the turn we flip him and he becomes unkillable. (Like old priest combo in hearthstone)

You playing Dr Evazan in inquisitor deck when set 2 releases?

Great Pics! 3 of the risers have been my favorites! 🙌🏻

I do agree on Leia, but essentially Leia has been pigeon holed into running aggression. Everyone just defaults to aggression and while the aggression units are good overall very much we haven't really explored much of Leia's potential with other aspects. At the moment we don't have Rebel Han's or Chewie's or Lando's etc. I think the next set might be a little light on Rebels, but should bring in some more cunning Rebels with Enfys Nest. We might well also get some of the Rogue One units as rebels, i.e. Cunning Cassian and Aggression Jyn (hopefully). I think there is still potential for Leia to get plenty of units, but I do sort of agree that Leia needs to go in a different direction from aggro in the long run, she can already do it in vigilance with all healing and just good value overall.

I actually think Thrawn is better suited for tempo than control; temporarily exhausting units, but not actually dealing with them But I don't think the current yellow cards support it, we'll see what set 2 brings

Thrawn is very thematic but lacks punching power, totally agree on more yellow control cards missing in set 1.

Luke and Hera will be big risers when the next set comes. There will be a bigger pool of spectres and Force units to shield.

Me as a Leia player 👀

I think Thrawn will 100% fell way worse in set 2 meta because smuggle will consistently change the top card of either or both decks. While Han gets extra value out of smuggle (appropriately) as a cool way to filter your resources.

Kinda disagree on fett like you said he’ll never be bad. Generically good yes but synergies only get better as new cards come out as free resources is it’s own synergy and any new removal/bombs at 5 and below also can potentially open up new color combos etc.

I think your thoughts are perfectly coherent with the current state of the game. But I also think the state of the game is extremely underexplored by the community. People settled too quickly around some archetypes.

I disagree on Luke. He likes heroism units and the more heroism units he can play with the better he is going to get.

Palp ability's best interaction in SoR is getting slept on imo. The fact most Palp decks aren't running Motti is a mistake.

On Boba: His mana cheat will always be good. We'll might get cards that will make him even better. But yea, the current deck and playstyle will fall back.

GI has a new tech. Kill Motti to ready anything. Or re-ready GI and then attack again to ready another unit.
