It's time to get caught up with the latest in SWU as the boys gather to talk about the latest Planetary Qualifier in Austin, the most recent Sector Qualifier in Fort Worth, and what's next on the horizon for competitive play.  The announced delay for Homeworlds carbonite gets some air time before we take our first look as a group at the Homeworlds spoiler list and highlight bits and bobs that have caught our interest - or our ire! - as well as pointing out some leaders that look particularly delectable in Twin Suns.  Last, but not least, Trey graces everyone with the first installment of his Twin Suns Corner.

It's been coming since the complete spoiler for Ashes of the Empire was released, but finally Cad Bane finds his head on the chopping block.  Wes, Ian, and Trey meet up to talk first reactions, whether they think more is necessary or warranted, and what the impact might be for Premier going forward.  The idea of players advocating for banning the very deck they are playing is explored, as well as "Tier 0" versus "Tier 1" or "Tier 2" decks.  Cascade is out as the head of the judge program, and Trey shares another round of the latest Twin Suns drama.  All this and more on this week's episode!

The time has come: an episode dedicated to one of our favorite formats, Twin Suns!  The boys spend a few moments at the top of the cast ruminating about the current state of Premier before spending the bulk of the time pontificating about the joys of multiplayer Star Wars Unlimited.  Everyone talks about what it is that draws them to the format before moving on to talk about dos and don'ts, and closing out with some TS deckbuilding tips.

The 2026 Galactic Championship has come and gone, and what a great event it was.  Ian interrogates Wes and Trey about their GC26 experiences, and there's a mountain of topics to cover: side events, the prize wall, what worked and what didn't, what improved from last year... join us for a conversation that runs the gamut of all things Vegas!

As the time of lawlessness winds down, Wes, Ian, and Trey get together to catch up on the latest happenings in Star Wars Unlimited.  An entire new point scale has been adopted for Season 2, which will lead to a variety of changes in OP going forward... but are all of them good?  The boys discuss their thoughts on whether or not this was an enjoyable meta, ideas on what to do during the quiet weeks before Ashes of the Empire releases, and what kinds of things they are looking forward to in pre-release and limited play.

Another year, another busted spoiler schedule.  Why does this keep happening?  The boys gather 'round the microphones to talk all things Star Wars Unlimited, starting with the far, far too early release of the full spoiler for Ashes of the Empire (and a repeat of last year's debacle).  Now that it's here, Wes and Ian take a look and highlight some of their favorite things out of the new pool, while the group recaps a recent local tournament that required off-meta leaders.

EDIT:  This episode was updated on 2 June 2026 to include the last ~20 minutes that had been accidentally left out of the original version.

Season 1 has come and gone!  The boys gather to recap some local PQ action and talk about the amazing deck diversity found in north Texas at the recent Carrollton Planetary Qualifier.  While the PQ was going on this past Saturday, FFG did a big data dump on Icons in an effort to try and explain just what the hell the set is to a community that really has no idea.  There's a lot to unpack here, so we give it our best shot. At the last, Trey talks about enabling Skynet to build his next killer deck for him.

Ian is back this week, and a great bit of fan mail prompts a fascinating question for the team: how do you prioritize your time spent on SWU?  Is it building and testing meta decks? Trying your own home brews with off-the-meta leaders? Twin Suns shenanigans with family?  Time is finite, and figuring out what will bring you the most satisfaction out of the game is half the battle.  On other topics, box prices for LAW are holding pretty steady, and the new Twin Suns decks are an interesting addition to that particular format.
