Analysis and BUILD! Ashes of the Empire PRERELEASE Sealed Deck! [Star Wars Unlimited] @MaindeckGames

Uploaded July 2026 | Updated September 2026, 1 day ago

I love playing limited formats, so I have a blast every set when I get to dig into a prerelease kit and talk through building it with you all!

For Ashes of the Empire, we ended up with a pool that had some VERY awkward curve points. How do we take these lopsided aspects and turn them into a playable deck? Let's crack it open and talk it through!

I hope seeing this gives you a few ideas that you can take to your Ashes of the Empire prerelease - or any SWU Sealed Deck event you play in!

$This CHEAPER Re:Collection upgrade ROCKS! 🐦 Fire Midrange Guo Jia Deck Profile [Grand Archive TCG] Grand Archive can be an expensive game to compete in, but this upgrade to the Guo Jia Re:Collection deck will have you winning games at a much lower cost than building many competitive decks from scratch - No Dungeon Guides or playsets of $40 SRs needed! If youve been wanting to play Guo Jia with all the cool transforming fatestones, this deck is for you! By building card value early through discard and draw effects, you can mount a ton of pressure in the mid game and surprise your opponent with several explosive turn types! Your opponent will need to defend against giant birds, slimes, and cheetahs plus non-combat damage pings, and even big unpreventable chunks of damage, all while you can keep up key interaction, anti-intercept, and anti-stealth tech! Full decklist: https://shoutatyourdecks.com/decks/1a404915-df78-4e26-b7e4-490dea21d914 Heres a list of cards to pick up if you want to upgrade your Re:Collection deck - most Rs and SRs are $3 or less, and some can be found in the Silvie Re:Collection Lite if you have that already! When you are ready to spend on Grand Crusaders Ring and Blanche, you will find many more decks to play those in in the future as well! 1x Fated Ruby Fatestone (UR) 1x Nullifying Mirror (R) 1x Safeguard Amulet (U) 1x Smoke Bombs (C) 1x Grand Crusaders Ring (UR - Skip for now if on a tight budget) 2x Blanche, Sheltering Saint (SR - Skip if on a tight budget) 3x Crystallized Destiny (R) 3x Forest Cake (R - in Silvie Re:Collection Deck) 4x Baby Red Slime (R - in Silvie Re:Collection Deck) 4x Coiled Fatestone (SR) 4x Creative Shock (U) 3x Cremation Ritual (C) 4x Hasty Messanger (U) 4x Ignite Fate (U) 4x Tempered Steel (C) 4x Pelagic Fatestone (SR) SUPPORT MAINDECK by shopping on TCGPlayer with our affiliate link: https://tcgplayer.pxf.io/maindeck The ULTIMATE How to Play Grand Archive video: https://youtu.be/I_MjH_qyVcI For more Grand Archive info and resources, check out all the links below: 🎴 ** THE OFFICIAL GATCG WEBSITE! ** 🎴 https://www.gatcg.com 📕 ** GATCG RULES ONLINE ** 📕 👇 Official Getting Started: https://www.gatcg.com/article/getting-started 👇 Official Comprehensive Rules: https://rules.gatcg.com/ 👥 **GATCG COMMUNITY** 👥 👇 Join the Discords below: MAINDECK DISCORD: https://discord.maindeck.games GRAND ARCHIVE DISCORD: https://discord.com/invite/grandarchivetcg 👇 GATCG Facebook Community: https://www.facebook.com/groups/grandarchivetcg/ 💻 ** Deck Builders! ** 💻 https://silvie.org/ https://shoutatyourdecks.com/ 👇 Grand Archive TCG Analysis and Other Tools! https://silvie.gg/ 👇 GATCG Tournament Results: https://fractalofin.site/ #GrandArchive #TCG #GATCG #tradingcardgame ► We are supported by our generous patrons on Patreon - check out the link here and consider supporting us for bonus perks and behind the scenes content: https://www.patreon.com/maindeckgames ► Like us on Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/MaindeckGames/ ► Written content, resources and more at: http://www.maindeck.games 🎵 Music from Epidemic Sound!! 🎵 Get access to a huge music library for a small monthly fee.

$Grand Archives Draft Format is Actually AMAZING I LOVE a good limited format. To me, its an integral part of the TCG experience! Using all the commons and uncommons you never get to play - or seeing how close to a constructed deck you can build! Grand Archive introduced Draft format with Mortal Ambition, but its only available at Ascent events right now! In this video, Ill explain how it works, and why its good enough to be worth going to an Ascent to play! Listen to my thoughts, as well as friends Taylor, Gabe, and Keven and let me know what YOU think about Draft in the comments! Thank you to Weebs of the Shore for providing the Draft Packs to make this video!
