Alliance Dispatch Ep 5.2 – Legends of the Force, Pre-Release Chaos & Rotation Rumblings
Yes, Episode 5.1 got eaten by the audio gremlins. Again. So here we are with 5.2 — the real one. The Legends of the Force set has dropped, pre-release madness is (mostly) behind us, and it's time to crack into what we think about the cards, leaders, formats, and general state of SWU.
After a long weekend of relentless pre release Danny and Steve are the only two people still standing, and have a natter about their weekend and thoughts on the set.
In this episode:
🧪 Pre-release breakdowns (some of us played... three times)
📦 Set 5 impressions – too many whales, not enough Vader?
🛠️ Leader tier talk: Who’s rising, who’s mid, and who needs to go back in the binder
🔮 Rotation theories, force synergy thoughts & “cards that Jimmy the jams”
📉 And the slow-motion collapse of Kit Fisto’s as a usable leader?
We’ve got Yoda turning into a railgun, Darth Malak staying in the trade binder, and a MASSIVE whale ruining everyone’s lethal. The Force might be strong with this set — but is it fun?
🎧 Listen on the bus to work. Or while sleeving up your third underwhelming Talzin deck.
💬 Comments open for:
Best/worst pull of the pre-release
The most underrated card in Legends of the Force
Kit Fisto: playable or podcast punching bag?
📦 Merch at 500 subs. Maybe. Probably not. Definitely maybe.
