Double Cards of the Week: Ghost & Phantom
This week’s cards make up a unique Multi-arena unit and Subordinate combo. This pairing of the Ghost and Phantom is featured in several different versions throughout the Spark of Rebellion set.
Card of the Week: Inquisitor Strike Team (A)
This week’s card is a preview of the upcoming Spark of Rebellion set. Designed to mirror Ghost Crew (A), Inquisitor Strike Team (A) packs a formidable punch once you have a couple Inquisitor cards stacked beneath it.
The Phantom Menace 20th Anniversary
Every generation has a legend. Every journey has a first step. Every saga has a beginning…
20 years ago, Star Wars Episode I: The Phantom Menace was released in theaters, inspiring a new generation to join the Star Wars fandom. The Star Wars Trading Card Game includes several expansions featuring content from the 1999 film. Some of these, like Sith Rising, Jedi Guardians, Scum & Villainy, Smugglers, and Jedi, have a handful of cards from Episode One. The two expansions based entirely on the film are The Phantom Menace and Invasion of Naboo. Both of these sets added a great deal to the game. Wizard’s TPM introduced the highly useful Lucky keyword as well as the first instance of credit counters. ION greatly expanded the Diplomat, Naboo, Gungan, and Trade Federation factions, while also offering a few Mission cards with effects lasting until end of game. This Phantom Menace Mission card from that set operates as a proto-Campaign/Event card. The secret dice roll will be featured prominently in a future expansion where everyone’s favorite bisected-baddie makes a surprise appearance….
Card of the Week: Mother’s Connection
Wishing everyone a happy Mother’s Day!
Star Wars Day Surprise!
May the Fourth be with you, Star Wars fans! This year on Star Wars Day, Darth Vader is once again in the spotlight. This C2 Vader is one of two new versions of the Dark Lord of the Sith that will be featured in the upcoming Spark of Rebellion set.
Card of the Week: Chewbacca (B)
This week’s card is one of our favorite versions of Chewbacca, from the Battle of Yavin expansion. Rest in peace, Peter Mayhew. Thank you for filling Chewie with your heart and soul for over forty years.
Avenge the Fallen
Card of the Week: Ahsoka Tano (I)
Wishing everyone a happy Easter! This week’s card is from the upcoming Spark of Rebellion set. Ahsoka’s defenses are bolstered by Fortitude and an efficient Evade. Her damage output is boosted by Avenge, Retaliate, and also Ferocity against Dark Jedi, making her a true force to be reckoned with.
Card of the Week: Maul (N)
Hope everyone has been enjoying Celebration, whether from the livestream or from Chicago! Lots of great trailer reveals and panels. In honor of the 20th anniversary of The Phantom Menace and The Clone Wars panels, this week’s card is the latest version of Maul. From his appearance in “Twilight of the Apprentice,” Maul (N) excels at Ambushing enemy Characters. He also comes prepared with a powerful Meditate, which allows you to summon him back into play once from your discard pile. He is one of 2 versions of Maul featured in the upcoming Spark of Rebellion set.
