Hope you continue sharing your thoughts.

Hey travis, this is Aneil (don’t know if you remember me) however i’m glad you and millennium are continuing to do well. A huge part of my youth and even though I don’t live in Rochester anymore I will always root for you guys. I’m really enjoying star wars unlimited a lot.

They've announced a Set 1 SWU reprint 'around the holidays' which they said awhile back. I agree about the Showdown promos. They just feel underwhelming in comparison to Set 1. Unrefusable Offer (the Top 8 promo) just doesn't compare to Windu - it's also worth noting that it's a rarity downshift from Legendary to Rare. I wonder if they wanted to tone it down a bit as Showdowns are supposed to be Casual-level events? The Showdowns in my area have been rather competitive but this seems a bit inevitable until FFG rolls out their fully fledged competitive events because, outside of big cons or events, there's just not anything else for people to engage with competitively at the moment.

Great episode, you spoke to the game very well. Calling out specific cards really shows you live and breathe this business

Great video, but some notes: 1. A lot has changed since early meta regarding ECL. It is no longer considered even close to bannable, and plenty of top decks with green decks no longer run it. 2. They addressed 25hp bases missing. Basically, they don't want to set the expectation that every single new set will include rare bases. They want it to be exciting each time we get new ones, rather than bloat it out. But they said more would be coming. 3. Leaders do seem less powerful, but many of them also feel like seeds for future sets, more so than Set 1 leaders (Aphra is a good example). As far as Set 1 leaders straight up invalidating Set 2 ones, the only one that really comes up is Yellow Boba. But even that may change as time goes on.

They did say in a livestream that they won't do 25 hp bases unless they feel like there's a good design which imo is nice for not forcing them out. But also since they take rare slots they kinda sucked to see in packs if you already had one since tbh you only need 1 Rare base and all Dupes aren't really needed

Differne is that with Destiny they pushed the second set to reprint the first.. That made alot people pissed off.. They are reprinting swu set 1 inbetween and releasing before the holidays, not disrupting other sets.

I agree that the other 25 hp bases are a lot weaker than ECL. But I think ECL is crucial for the meta. If ECL didn't exist, a lot of decks wouldn't be able to deal with hyper aggressive strategies early. The aggro decks don't really lose much by not having ECL imo. I think they should come up with other creative base designs. Give them effects that have less straight forward "value". Some ideas: - base gives a resource smuggle and give plus 2 to the cost - base let's a unit with cost 3 or less deal it's damage to another unit in the same arena - maybe a 35 hp base that makes your units cost 1 more - a base that let's you return a unit with cost 6 or less from your graveyard/or resource to your hand there are infinite options! Great video, I enjoyed your perspective.
