"Star Wars: Unlimited" Boba Fett Card Suspended for Being Correctly but Overly Powered
Following a livestream and news post from the Fantasy Flight Games team, the leader unit Boba Fett (Collecting the Bounty) has been suspended from the TCG Star Wars Unlimited premier play.
Star Wars Unlimited started up as a new TCG from Fantasy Flight Games as of March earlier this year and has their third set, “Twilight of the Republic,” coming out this Friday, November 8.
After the large scale events of the Planetary Qualifiers happened earlier the previous months and seeing how high Boba Fett (Collecting the Bounty) as a leader card topped the charts in not only overall play with 40% of top 8 finisher decks, but at more than 55% of winners they have concluded that it should be suspended. As they made the set one, “Spark of Rebellion,” cards originally play testing as much as they could, Boba Fett (Collecting the Bounty) was released, still metagaming a bit too hard. The leader with its abilities and early flip makes it just too powerful for use and as such has been suspended. While not being banned, that means following each set release they will look back at the card and see if it can be brought back and see a different play without being too overpowered.
Meanwhile other Boba Fett related cards do still exist in the game, even another leader card with Boba Fett (Daimyo) that was released with the second set, “Shadows of the Galaxy.” This Boba Fett leader card plays much more casually as FFG started to see how the cards play and moved on from an overall theme to a more bounty hunter and underworld theme for their second set.
More casual cards like the ground unit, Boba Fett (Disintegrator) still exist as well that can use the upgrade card like Boba Fett’s Armor, just means while other cards exist like Fett’s Firespray their When Played: ability of being able to ready if you control Boba Fett or Jango Fett still works great as Jango Fett was released as a leader unit with this third set.
While Boba Fett is present with some Book of Boba Fett art on the event Rule with Respect, it isn’t particularly a card intended for play with more than the Boba Fett (Daimyo) leader card with the heroism aspect being attached to both cards.
Following the suspension of the Boba Fett (Collecting the Bounty) leader card people will be looking for replacements. Both the new Jango Fett (Concealing the Conspiracy) and Asajj Ventress (Unparalleled Adversary) leader cards exist as great replacements maintaining the cunning aspect as to not fully rework decks already centered around that aspect but for sure changing their actions will see some room for improvement.
With the release of the new set of cards restructure of decks is sure to happen, and while Boba Fett (Collecting the Bounty) is suspended from Premier, he is still able to be as one of your leaders in Twin Suns, or pure casual play outside of any sanctioned event of course.
Plenty of fun can be had while playing Star Wars Unlimited, and feel free to check online to find your local card shops that support selling packs and running events.
