Welcome to Part 8 of our Star Wars: Unlimited tutorial series! If you’re looking for a fresh way to play that doesn’t require a pre-built deck, the Sealed format is a fantastic option. It’s perfect for tournaments, casual game nights, or learn-to-play events at Woody’s Geekery. In Sealed, everyone starts on equal footing—just open packs, build a deck, and battle!

🎁 What Is Sealed Format?

Sealed is a limited format where each player builds a deck using cards from six booster packs of a single Star Wars: Unlimited set. You won’t need a full collection or hours of deckbuilding—just open your packs and get creative with what you pull.

🧪 Deckbuilding Rules

Once you’ve opened your six booster packs, follow these guidelines to build your deck:

• 1 Leader   → Choose any one leader from the six packs you opened.

• 1 Base   → Use any base you opened, or substitute with a Common-rarity base from the same set (borrowed or owned).

• 30+ Cards   → Your deck must include at least 30 other cards (units, events, upgrades).

• No Copy Limit   → You can include any number of copies of a card you opened. Example: If you pulled four copies of a unit, you can play all four.

Deckbuilding Tip: Focus on cards that share aspect icons with your leader and base to maximize synergy and playability.

🧠 Strategy Tips for Sealed Play

• Curve Matters: Include a mix of low-cost and high-cost cards so you can play something every round.

• Aspect Icons Are Key: Make sure your cards match your leader’s and base’s aspect icons—otherwise, you can’t play them!

• Play What You Pull: Don’t worry about perfect combos—Sealed is about adapting and making the most of your pool.

• Upgrade Wisely: Upgrades can swing combat—include a few to boost your units.

• Events Add Flexibility: Use events to surprise your opponent or recover from tough situations.

🎯 Why Play Sealed?

• Fair & Balanced: Everyone builds from the same number of packs.

• Fast Setup: No need to bring a deck—just open and play.

• Great for New Players: Teaches deckbuilding basics without overwhelming choices.

• Perfect for Events: Ideal for tournaments, demos, and casual play.
