On The Button (A Star Wars Unlimited Podcast)

The big Regional Championship in Utrecht is over and that means it's time to see if all the doom-and-gloom bloviating and prognosticating from last episode held true.  Did blue villain and Chimaera/Pre remain the final boss of the format, or was an upstart found in the field?  Ian, Wes, and Trey gather as scheduled to discuss.  Following that conversation: Homeworlds has barely arrived and Icons spoilers are pouring out like crazy, what looks ho-hum and what looks busted?  Trey rounds out the episode with some thoughts on the evolution of Twin Suns play.

The full release of Homeworlds is behind us, and each of the team has been cooking up something different in the deck lab.  Vader, Bossk, and Ashes Ezra all get a mention... but can any of them compete with the final Premier boss that is blue villain right now?   Discussion ensues, centered around two questions: is the Homeworlds meta even salvage-able and, if so, how to go about doing it?  The boys also review what they've been working on for Twin Suns given the new leaders and cards.

Episode 42 arrives, which means we have finally achieved Douglas Adams' nirvana of knowing.  Homeworlds pre-releases are here, and the team of Wes, Ian, and Trey all have experiences to relate.  Turns out that maybe while everyone was focused on Hemlock, Tarfful turned out to be one of the best leaders in limited this set. The upcoming release schedule, recent attendance numbers, and supposed shortage/late shipment of Homeworlds product are all discussed before Trey imparts some of his folksy Twin Suns wisdom on us all.

We're down a man this week but the podcast soldiers on!  Homeworlds pre-releases are right around the corner; now that the full spoiler is out, what should you be expecting compared to Ashes of the Empire?  Wes does a bit of a deep dive and analysis looking at the card pool and pointing out some key cards to look for.  Trey combs through the leader list from Homeworlds with an eye towards abusing one or more of them in Twin Suns.

It's time to get caught up with the latest in SWU as the boys gather to talk about the latest Planetary Qualifier in Austin, the most recent Sector Qualifier in Fort Worth, and what's next on the horizon for competitive play.  The announced delay for Homeworlds carbonite gets some air time before we take our first look as a group at the Homeworlds spoiler list and highlight bits and bobs that have caught our interest - or our ire! - as well as pointing out some leaders that look particularly delectable in Twin Suns.  Last, but not least, Trey graces everyone with the first installment of his Twin Suns Corner.
