With Ian out sick - get well soon! - Wes and Trey join forces to try and combat some of the negativity that's been floating around the community lately (some of it right here on this show!).   At least, that was the plan until Galactic Championship tickets went on sale earlier this week.  Additionally, spoiler season is officially over and it's time to review the legendary cards coming in A Lawless Time; are they good, playable, or coasters?

As PQ season rolls onward, the boys convene to discuss Trey's homework assignment from the last episode: re-imagining the iconic double-aspect event cards that are close to rotating out in a few weeks.  Rotation itself is also on the table for discussion - including how it might be improved should FFG decide to change course down the road - as well as some discussion of local stores dropping the game.  Is this also happening in your area?  Let us know at [email protected].

EDITOR'S NOTE: Apologies if the sound balance is a bit wonky in this one, all.  There was a gross imbalance in recording and it took some time to try and salvage it.

Rotation is on the horizon, but the boys aren't done talking about the current state of the Star Wars Unlimited!  This week there's some discussion about how FFG approaches the design of legendary cards and whether that is beneficial for the game - or not - followed by a review of cards that we won't miss when they rotate out of Premier.

Join the boys in Studio Sea - at Wes' place - as they congregate to record a live episode!  FFG sent Wes a box of goodies and he invited Trey and Ian over to share in his good fortune.  The full video episode - available on YouTube - contains the pack-opening, deck-building, and games played; the audio version here cuts back to just the discussions surrounding the new set.
