An Early Look At Anakin Skywalker

No Lie, Sky-Guy is Pretty Fly

As you have undoubtedly heard, Anakin Skywalker will finally be receiving a proper Blue Hero incarnation in Covert Missions. I was hyped up immediately for this card, but my local guys are skeptical. Is he good, or is he destined to be banished to the binder? It’s hard to know for sure without seeing his support cards, but I believe he will be playable. I’ll be making that argument by discussing his color, health, die, subtype, ability, cost, and available partners. Feel free to disagree, but this is my analysis (and defense) of Sky-Guy in Standard!

Three Reasons Ewoks Are The New Meta

Who else remembers the first time they witnessed the horrific power of the tribe of space bears known as Ewoks?

Execute Order 66 – Spark of Hope Spoiler Discussion

All Jedi Are Traitors to the Galactic Republic (I’m Fairly Confident About This)

Order 66 (SH15) is going to be a plot that people will experiment with when building Spark of Hope decks. There’s a lot to love here. The first thing I noticed about Order 66 is how far plots have come since Legacies – remember Fortify (LG169)? Plots have improved significantly from their initial release. They are now able to influence deck construction in a similar way to characters, which is a credit to the design team.
