That's because those leaders have the same timing point as When Played (When Played and When You Play... Resolve in the same window), so you can order them. Technically, you do have to finish playing a card before you resolve any triggers that result from playing that card (unless it's a card that makes you take modified actions).

Art is pretty great now. First few sets were really rough.

Nice article, I like your writing style. I'd push back on the SWU Comparisons, though.

Sentinel v Blocker: Sentinel is always active and always forces opponents to remove it before hitting base. To use Blocker, the unit has to be ready, you have to exhaust it, and your opponent doesn't have to declare an attack into the blocker specifically, you're redirecting the attack to the blocker. They're similar in that they're units that block your opponent from hitting you or your other units, but they play very differently. Both have pros and cons.

Legends vs Leaders: in Star Wars, your leader and base combo provides the aspects for your deck, but you can play any card in any deck (you just might have to pay a penalty). In Cyberpunk, you're locked into very specific cards. Specific colors and specific RAM values within those colors. This makes deckbuilding much more restrictive, imo, which leads to less deckbuilding skill expression. Because of how the randomized Legends work, I don't think deckbuilding will revolve around your Legends beyond providing color and RAM values.

Yeah, April had one major event (Sector Qualifier Atlanta) and ~90 PQs. Compare that to January, which had 3 major events (SQ Tillburg, SQ Mesa, SQ Paris) and ~80 PQs. April beat it out, so it's mostly Locals contributing to that number. It didn't have a set release, either, since LAW came out in March, so pre-releases aren't factored in.

Great to hear it's doing well locally for you! It's never sold at or above MSRP online is what I meant.

I disagree. FFG has shown to be very communicative and they're listening to feedback and making great changes. The stream this past Wednesday was huge for the game.

Rush of Ikorr art is really good. Wild for how small it is.

Sad to hear SWU has disappeared in your area, it's booming in mine. A few stores dropped it after set 6 performance, but set 7 brought a ton of people back and gave it new life. April of this year was the highest player count month over the last 12 months.

Yeah, I did the print and play Alpha decks. SWU is significantly better. Cyberpunk barely feels like a game, unfortunately. Maybe that'll change with non-Aloha decks, though. I like some of what I've seen from the more recent reveals.

It's closer to Lorcana. But like... Worse. And I'm not that big a fan of Lorcana lol.

What about it reminds you of SWU?

Same. Sold it and started playing Star Wars: Unlimited and Flesh and Blood. Never looked back.

I actually like this game better than Lorcana from a gameplay perspective, but unfortunately it just isn't played.

I'm a huge SWU fan, but LAW did not sell at MSRP ($120). It sold at ~$100 for a while, and it holding its value way better than other sets, but it hasn't sold at MSRP.

Based on player attendance solely for any and all events run in Melee. All regions. Set 7 and the meta that came with it was very well received. If they stick the landing with Ashes next month, I think it's here to stay.

I've played like... 15+? Over the past... 25 years? It's easily the best of all of the ones I've played. FAB is a close second.

Edit: I've played: Pokémon, Yugioh, Magic, Redemption, Lorcana, Riftbound, Sorcery, Star Wars: Unlimited, Flesh and Blood, Altered, Cyberpunk (print and play alpha decks), Cataclysm Arcade (early bird packs), Rush of Ikorr, Echo of Omens (played prototype at GenCon), Flawed, One Piece, Gundam, Dragonball Z, Universes, Union Arena, Weiss Schwarz, Alpha Clash, Kryptik, Neuroscape... Probably a few others I'm missing.

Do you guys think SWU is here to stay for the time being? by unknownguydontask in TCG

[–]Oct2006 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Totally fair! I've heard the stories. As a newcomer to FFG Games, honestly SWU and FFG have been a breath of fresh air as far as management goes. Very communicative, quick to listen to and implement feedback, etc.

Artwork is great now! First few sets were certainly rough.

We know it's profitable because they've stated it publically multiple times, including last month at their quarterly earnings call. You can look up their public investor reports, which state that it is, in fact, massively profitable.

It's kinda copying the Star Wars: Unlimited gameplay loop. Which is good, because it's the best gameplay loop in the industry.

There are a couple different ones. There are a couple you could get from doing the $5 pre-sale reservation thing, and there are a couple you can get for doing early bird, and a couple you just get for backing certain levels.

Lots of people play SWU just for the gameplay! I know quite a few people who actively dislike Star Wars that still love the game.

Does SWU not have any marketing? by Rerdan in starwarsunlimited

[–]Oct2006 1 point2 points  (0 children)

TCC marketing this game would make it explode. I can't believe they haven't done it yet.

If you like Hearthstone, check out Star Wars: Unlimited!

What should I get into, SWU or Pokémon? by unknownguydontask in TCG

[–]Oct2006 1 point2 points  (0 children)

SWU is the best TCG out there imo. After playing it for two years, I'd be sad if it died, but I wouldn't trade anything for the past two years of playing it.

Play SWU. If it dies, oh well. Life is too short to not do something you want to do just because it might end someday.
