- Shadows of the Galaxy Previews have arrived!
I discuss the previews from Shadows of the Galaxy, the second set in Star Wars Unlimited.
This is Part 4 of the Shadows of the Galaxy review. I will be focusing primarily on competitive constructed analysis.
Let me know what you think of these new cards in the comments below!

One cool thing to keep in mind with the Survivor's Gauntlet is that, like When Played effects, you can choose the order of On Attack abilities. So you can do things like attack with the Gauntlet with something like Devotion, trigger the Restore 2, then pass it to another reasy unit you control. You lose out on the damage, and obviously you don't want to do this if your Gauntlet is on 1 health remaining, but it lets you double dip on damage and powerful On Attack abilities on your own upgrades
Edit: one other rant point about Scanning Officer is that hero decks will uave to be prepared to just auto-realurce or side-out Tech when playing against Green decks, because he gives all of your resources Smuggle, so Scanning Officer can always hit 3 if you have Tech on the board.
Yeah there's a lot of weird stuff to do with Gauntlet, but I'm still not super excited about it.
It is true that the officer hard counters Tech, I just don't think Tech is particularly good anyway. Might be useful in the very rare situations where both players are in a top deck grind, but otherwise it's not a card I'm particularly invested in.
Thanks, mate! Defo the best constructed competitive analysis out there for set2. My concern all along with smuggle is if the resource fiddling will detract from the game’s stellar back and forth, and I’m still unconvinced. I do think smuggle may end up being used way, way more in draft and so for constructed it’s gonna be specific cards in specific builds and so the impact will be measured.
Yeah, I think it'll be a big player in draft. Not yet super high on the power level of most of the smuggle cards in general, but there are two leaders so far that have major synergy with it, and one of them (Lando) definitely appears to be geared for constructed.
And thanks!
@@iamwooooo for sure, I would consider a few heavy smuggle heavy leaders still somewhat measured, my worry is we are all having to smuggle non stop because it’s too powerful, it may break up the game. But I may well be exaggerating the risk, need to see more legendaries I guess!
Great stuff my guy!
Thank you!
Where is my darth maul leader/unit!?
He's on the set art!
I reckon things like cad bane and darth maul could be potential legendaries
Since you keep talking about cards needing a longer game and then the smuggle making everyone check/shuffle their resources around, do you think that match time is going to become more of a concern? Control decks already often require concessions to get best of 3 games done within allotted time.
It could become an issue. If you pick to play these decks you're mostly agreeing to play BO1 in the mirror match, which is why these decks have so much main deck concessions for that match up.
