Secrets of Power prereleases are here, so lets dive in with some SWU Sealed Deck theory! Our pool gives us some solid rares and a decent Legendary, but we clearly have options for what our final deck should look like.
In this video Im going to go through my process for building a sealed deck out of a Prerelease pack, including how I analyze my cards to find what I think is the strongest line. We have several routes to go with this kit, but I really like the deck we landed on - which one would you have gone with?
Let me know down below, and good luck at your next Star Wars Unlimited prerelease!
