Are Secrets of Power Leaders Playable? (Pt 1)
Back in January, my colleague Jayson wrote an excellent article about leader design in SWU. If you haven’t read it already, I highly recommend taking a few minutes to do so!

Meta Monday – September 22nd, 2025
Last week, FFG banned Force Throw, shaking up the meta prior to Sectors and Regionals. However, they did not put the ban into effect immediately, making this past weekend the last with the meta in its current state. The question is now: What will the meta be without Force Throw?

Luck vs. Pluck: How High is SWU’s Skill Cap?
If you’ve played a Trading Card Game, you know it’s part skill and part luck. Random factors like what cards you get and what cards are stuck on the bottom of your deck make a huge difference in outcomes.

Meta Monday – August 25th, 2025
This weekend continued the Planetary Qualifier season for Legends of the Force in earnest with events all over the globe. Including the first limited PQs!
