A CUNNING twist on a TOP DECK! | Kylo5 Yellow Force | Star Wars Unlimited Deck Profile Maindeck 2025-09-06 | I really wanted to cover the new Kylo leader, because he's such a fun design - but you know me, I can't just show you top meta decks - we have to do something fun!So in this YELLOW FORCE version of Legends of the Force Kylo, we took on a personal challenge to get value out of Kylo Ren - I Know Your Story as we control the game and build up to the epic Kylo flip turn where we chunk anywhere from 10-14 damage onto the opponent's base in a single action!While it's probably not the top tier competitive variant of Kylo Ren, this is a fun way to play, and can steal games from many decks in the format.

Grand Archives TOP PLAYERS Analyze their BEST MATCH EVER Maindeck 2025-08-14 | The Grand Finals of Worlds 2025 took place on June 29, and the match was about as climactic, exciting, and skill-intense as it could get, with True Champion Terry taking on Maindeck Taylor in a match that went all the way to game 5! Both players had swapped decks for day 3 with incredible meta reads that took them easily through their semifinal matches, but when they finally met in finals, a rocky start for Taylor saw him trailing 0-2 in this best-of-5 showdown. While Taylor's deck, Wind Shadowstrike Tristan, should be heavily favored against Terry's left-field pick of Fire Aggro Zander, the wind was behind Terry's sails until game 3 began, and Taylor initiated a HISTORIC comeback reverse-sweep to ultimately secure the World Champion title!In this video, I had the absolute pleasure of getting to sit down with both Taylor and Terry to go over clips from several of their games in this nearly two hour match to get breakdowns of their thoughts, strategies, and reads on their opponent. Settle in, because this is some of the BEST competitive content you can get for Grand Archive that is GUARANTEED to make you a stronger player!Watch the full Worlds Grand Finals match here:youtu.be/I3HVrMEHlrE?t=270270:00 Intro1:14 Game 1 - Opening Plays19:33 Game 3 - Quicksilver Grail Tactics30:46 Game 4 - Increasing Danger and Bad Hands46:20 Game 5 - Worlds-Caliber Plays and Reads---SUPPORT MAINDECK by shopping on TCGPlayer with our affiliate link:tcgplayer.pxf.io/maindeck---The ULTIMATE How to Play Grand Archive video: youtu.be/I_MjH_qyVcIFor more Grand Archive info and resources, check out all the links below:🎴 ** THE OFFICIAL GATCG WEBSITE! ** 🎴 gatcg.com📕 ** GATCG RULES ONLINE ** 📕👇 Official Getting Started: gatcg.com/article/getting-started👇 Official Comprehensive Rules:rules.gatcg.com👥 **GATCG COMMUNITY** 👥👇 Join the Discords below:MAINDECK DISCORD: https://discord.maindeck.gamesGRAND ARCHIVE DISCORD: discord.com/invite/grandarchivetcg👇 GATCG Facebook Community:facebook.com/groups/grandarchivetcg💻 ** Deck Builders! ** 💻 silvie.orgshoutatyourdecks.com👇 Grand Archive TCG Analysis and Other Tools!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: patreon.com/maindeckgames► Like us on Facebook: 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.

Revas HIDDEN Potential!? | Third Sister Yellow Imperials | Star Wars Unlimited Deck Profile Maindeck 2025-07-21 | EVERYONE loves a good midrange, trait-based deck, and Third Sister provides a really potent new way to control your opponent's ability to interact with your powerful units!In this Aggro-slanted Midrange deck, Third Sister powers out all your units with Hidden, limiting your opponent's ability to interact with them, and setting you up to make power plays on the next turn! Cards like Lurking Tie Phantom and Moff Gideon can prove devastating when left unchecked, giving you room to gain value and ground in the mid-game as the opponent may begin struggling intervene in your plays in a timely manner. This deck is likely not hitting Tier 1 in terms of raw power, but provides a fairly unique play experience that still can steal wins against some of the best decks. It has lots of room to grow if we see some powerful new Imperials in Secrets of Power, as well!Get the SWUDB.com deck list here: swudb.com/deck/ybBGwXjsDSFwHWant to buy SWU Product or Gamegenic Accessories?

TURN 2 EXECUTOR!? Stronger than Expected! | Y/G Mystic Thrawn | Star Wars Unlimited Deck Profile Maindeck 2025-06-17 | One thing I've loved about Legends of the Force is the amount of extremely cool combos the game now has! Today we're going to show off a deck that can achieve one of them - for a player who likes big, splashy plays, playing an Executor on TURN 2 has to be one of the coolest things you can do!But as I started to test this goofball deck - I realized that As I Have Foreseen actually is a really strong card in a lot of cases! If you build your deck to have TONS of great Turn 1 plays with it, it's not too uncommon to have games where you pull super far ahead right at the start - and you'll win more than you expect!Today let's look at a silly Turn 2 Executor combo deck that plays right into Grand Admiral Thrawn's "three steps ahead" characterization with this Mystic Monastery Green Set 1 Thrawn deck profile!Get the SWUDB.com deck list here: swudb.com/deck/oQHNQwrANGBWant to buy SWU Product or Gamegenic Accessories?

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: shoutatyourdecks.com/decks/1a404915-df78-4e26-b7e4-490dea21d914Here's 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 Crusader's 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 Crusader's 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:tcgplayer.pxf.io/maindeck---The ULTIMATE How to Play Grand Archive video: youtu.be/I_MjH_qyVcIFor more Grand Archive info and resources, check out all the links below:🎴 ** THE OFFICIAL GATCG WEBSITE! ** 🎴 gatcg.com📕 ** GATCG RULES ONLINE ** 📕👇 Official Getting Started: gatcg.com/article/getting-started👇 Official Comprehensive Rules:rules.gatcg.com👥 **GATCG COMMUNITY** 👥👇 Join the Discords below:MAINDECK DISCORD: https://discord.maindeck.gamesGRAND ARCHIVE DISCORD: discord.com/invite/grandarchivetcg👇 GATCG Facebook Community:facebook.com/groups/grandarchivetcg💻 ** Deck Builders! ** 💻 silvie.orgshoutatyourdecks.com👇 Grand Archive TCG Analysis and Other Tools!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: patreon.com/maindeckgames► Like us on Facebook: 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.

Bad Leader - But Can Your Opponent KEEP UP? | R/Y Aggro Ahsoka | Star Wars Unlimited Deck Profile Maindeck 2025-06-03 | After surprisingly solid performances at a local store showdown and online, I had a lot of requests to show off my Yellow Ahsoka aggro deck, so let's get back to some SWU Deck Profiles with this underappreciated leader that will definitely catch your opponents off-guard!The basic shell is nothing exceptional and I don't consider myself any sort of brilliant mind for throwing together a pile of the "good" R/Y aggro cards - but despite that, there are some nuances to this deck in particular that are worth consideration, and if you haven't played a lot of aggro in SWU, this is a good a place to learn the math as any!If you like it, throw it together and give it a shot! You and your opponent may just be a little surprised at the speed of our maligned starter deck not-Jedi!Get the SWUDB.com deck list here: swudb.com/deck/PLAwwNHlYmWant to buy SWU Product or Gamegenic Accessories?
