After a year’s break, the Star Wars TCG Academy is being relaunched! The new focus of the Academy will be on monthly draft events, where players get to open booster packs online and then build smaller decks with the cards they draft. Drafting events are ideal for both novice and veteran players, as they put everyone on an even footing, with players choosing cards from the packs they open on the day of the event rather than constructing their decks from a large pool of cards. Drafting events also require a smaller time commitment – as each draft will be a one day event. Each month there will be a new theme and draft event featuring packs from that month’s theme. This May, to build hype for the launch of the Obi-Wan Kenobi series, the theme will be based on The Dark Times, the period between Episodes III and IV, a time of Jedi on the run, hunted by Inquisitors and other sinister agents of Empire. The Academy also features side quests which can be played any time during the month, with a range of difficulty levels for players to try out. To join the Academy, visit our discord server!
This week’s flashback is a promo card of Darth Vader from The Dark Times, the largest expansion made for the Star Wars TCG. Released 6 years ago in May, this expansion features content from over 150 Dark Horse comics, as well as over 30 Expanded Universe novels and video games.
This week’s card is one of the Rebel characters from the recently released Imperial Assault mini set. Gideon offers a helpful speed and power boost, with the option to untap his allies as well.
The time is finally here for the next Star Wars TCG Standard tournament. It’s been a long time since last we had this tournament and 3 new expansions have been added, as well as a new mini-set. The tournament will start on May 14th with decks due by 11:59 PM May 13th. Good luck and may the Force serve you well.
Wishing everyone a happy Mother’s Day! A few months ago, SWTOR celebrated its 10-year anniversary. This card featuring generations of the Shan Family legacy comes from the IDC’s 10th anniversary set.
This week’s flashback is to The Phantom Menace Mission card, released in May 2009 as part of the Invasion of Naboo expansion. The secret dice rolls would eventually evolve into the Cunning keyword eleven years later in the Solo expansion, where Maul also makes an appearance. New cards from Episode I: The Phantom Menace will be featured in sets coming later this year.
