It's an off-week emergency session of the On The Button podcast, as FFG announced today some MAJOR changes coming to both regular and carbonite booster packs beginning with Set 7, A Lawless Time.  Having expended no small amount of oxygen speculating on this change during the last episode, the boys reconvene to discuss the substance of the announcement and share some first thoughts.

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.

The boys are back for another round of pontificating about all things Star Wars Unlimited!  This week: Ian's cynicism knows no bounds, Trey talks about knowing your local player field, and Wes pleads with FFG to figure out streaming coverage of major events here in the US. All is now revealed with the complete spoiler of Secrets of Power available, and two of the team talk through their experience at the local PQ just last weekend.

The boys gather 'round once more to chew the SWU fat! Ian is freshly back from a business trip to Nashville, Trey is headed to Aggieland for football, and Wes is headed out shortly to cover a PQ in Lubbock.  We talk about the new meta without Force Throw in it, trilogy as a format, card engines, and spoilers.  There are... let us say, grave concerns about Secrets of Power as a set based on the spoilers seen thus far.

Ian, Wes, and Trey gather 'round once again!  Fresh off of the Set 5 Dallas (Limited Format) Planetary Qualifier, everyone recounts their experiences and discusses the overall format.  It was a truly fantastic event, and everyone is stoked to do it all over again in Set 6.  The big news of the week, of course, is that Force Throw finally gets the axe (and Wes' final pre-Galactic Championship prediction comes true).  What comes next for the meta, and what Secrets of Power spoilers have caught everyone's attention?  All that and more in this episode!

As we approach the halfway point of the Legends of the Force meta, the boys gather 'round again to talk all things SWU.  We briefly recap a local draft - Ian drafted yellow! - spend a bit of time talking about the recent announcements for Organized Play promos available to earn at Season 1 Sectors and Regionals, as well as touch upon the now-spoiled spotlight decks for the next set.  Ian shares some concerns he has about Twin Suns and singles pricing, and everyone looks forward to this weekend's limited PQ up in Dallas.

As the boys gather around to review their homework assignment from last stream, it turns out that the conversation - or, really, Trey's long rant - about cunning aspect cards in Legends of the Force isn't completely played out.  Dates for the Set 5 sector qualifiers and regional championships have been announced, and Trey has another bone to pick with the designers... this time over leader design.

The boys reconvene fresh from the afterglow of attending the first ever Galactic Championships in Las Vegas, and boy does Ian have an epic story to tell.  Wes already told his over on his YouTube channel (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ezjAvvev1Fg), and Trey has thoughts about the streaming presentation.  After catching up, Trey grades Ian and Wes' homework from last episode, and everyone looks ahead to limited PQs and what the sealed/draft environment for Legends of the Force has in store.
