    FFG is Breaking its Promise to Mono Decks

    For most deckbuilders, Star Wars: Destiny was a fun game, but a bit of a letdown in terms of the color pie. The game was often dominated by “rainbow” decks that ran all three colors and therefore had essentially no deckbuilding restriction. Furthermore, there was no fixed incentive to run only a single color. Sure, Read more

    Cantina Decks, Season 5: A Set of Four Budget Decks from “Legends of the Force”

    Welcome to our latest installment of Cantina Decks, our series of thematic budget decks for Star Wars Unlimited! Since it’s been a while since our previous episode (our sincerest apologies!) let’s refresh everyone on what we do here. What’s A Cantina Deck?  Cantina Decks are a set of decks that are meant to be built Read more

    Bidding a ‘Roller Farewell: The Best of Jayson’s Content

    This week, we’re doing the hardest thing we’ve ever had to do at Garbage Rollers, which is say farewell to one of our own. For personal reasons, Jayson (@ImpossibleGerman) is having to step down from our team and take an indefinite break from content creation. While we’d love to have him back, we know work Read more

    Meta Monday – September 8th, 2025

    This weekend, the Garbage Rollers played in their first limited PQ here in Dallas, where we had a great time. Thank you to the great folks at Common Ground Games, especially our extremely professional judge crew! If you want to check out the replay (including me, @DJStormtrooper, in the semi-finals!), it was generously streamed by Read more

    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. Likewise, the factors within your control- what plays you make, their timing, what you choose to Read more

    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! With FFG declining to make adjustments to the meta (specifically Force Throw) we’re probably looking at a stable meta for the remainder of the season. The decks winning events largely Read more

    “Bringing Sexy Back” – Mechanics from SWU’s Previous Sets

    One of the most common complaints I hear from players about SWU is that the mechanics of one set don’t get support down the line. For example, FFG makes the Smuggle mechanic in Shadows of the Galaxy, players love it, and then… poof… it’s never seen again. There are some really good motivations for FFG Read more

    Meta Monday – August 11th, 2025

    This weekend began the Planetary Qualifier season for Legends of the Force in earnest with events all over the globe. The winningest deck was one we’ve resisted adding to the snapshot for a considerable time now, Boba4/Data Vault. Our initial take on this deck was that burn wouldn’t be a viable strategy in set 5 Read more

    Launching the Garbage Rollers Patreon

    We were so grateful to hear from everyone at the Galactic Championship. It’s really humbling to meet so many players who said you start or end your days with us. Several of you said you would like to help contribute to the channel and our content- this Patreon is how you can do that. While Read more

    Meta Monday – August 4th, 2025

    After experiencing the first Galactic Championship last weekend, we’re back to update our meta snapshot to reflect the results! The big surprise of the tournament was the rise of Kylo/Red driven by the Bothan Network crew who took the deck to the championship finals. While we foresaw Kylo being a force, we didn’t see the Read more
