Jump to Lightspeed card reveals have been keeping Star Wars: Unlimited players busy tinkering new decks and modifying current ones. We took a glance at promising decks from several content creators to share what they've been up to in the lead up to JTL's release.
There are a lot of JTL leaders looking to make a big splash on the meta once the new set lands. Most of the decks below are focused on building around them while others introduce a new take on well-loved and oft-forgotten leaders alike.

LukeLS ECL
Star Wars Dad shares his rebel Luke deck, a spin on Sabine ECL but with cool tricks from JTL. luke-skywalker-hero-of-yavin-jtl-12’s ping works well with units like red-squadron-y-wing-jtl-149 and red-five-running-the-trench-jtl-151. Luke’s also great at piloting blue-leader-scarif-air-support-jtl-96 to take out bigger ground units.
r2-d2-artooooooooo-jtl-245 has a strong synergy with leia-organa-pilots-to-your-stations-jtl-97, wing-leader-sor-241, and fleet-lieutenant-sor-240. chewbacca-faithful-first-mate-jtl-103 can jump into the millennium-falcon-get-out-and-push-jtl-249 and evade enemy fire. biggs-darklighter-theyll-never-stop-us-jtl-150 is quite a versatile pilot, but his Overwhelm ability is welcome among all the fighters in this deck.
Piett Red
admiral-piett-commanding-the-armada-jtl-5 wants those capital ships and he wants them now. Planning Phase Syndicate built a deck that focuses on finding these hard-hitters and playing them early while holding off the opponent’s board.
The biggest payoff for the deck is devastator-hunting-the-rebellion-jtl-143 into planetary-bombardment-jtl-181. With a resupply-sor-126 on turn 2, Admiral Piett can flip on turn 3, allowing for a turn 4 Devastator. resupply-carrier-jtl-119 can further ramp while tie-bomber-jtl-237 is a good early or late game unit.
turbolaser-salvo-jtl-131 in the sideboard can wipe out entire arenas with a big enough capital ship on your side.
Kazuda Xiono Double Yellow
This fast deck made by Hannonz might have the potential to rival Sabine as the aggro deck of the new Set 4 meta. It revolves around kazuda-xiono-best-pilot-in-the-galaxy-jtl-18 and his unique ability to remove the abilities of your friendly units.
In particular, contracted-hunter-jtl-216 and fireball-an-explosion-with-wings-jtl-198 are pretty big ambush units for their cost, but their drawbacks are simply negated by Kazuda. You also have the option of making millennium-falcon-piece-of-junk-sor-193 stay on the board tax free.
Captain Phasma ECL
There’s an entire host of First Order cards in JTL, and captain-phasma-chrome-dome-jtl-10 wants them all in her team. Rechabneffo put together this list featuring this oppressive group, starting with first-order-stormtrooper-jtl-132 all the way to captain-phasma-on-my-command-jtl-88 herself.
The deck has several ways to deal indirect damage as well as abilities that benefit from having damaged units on the opposing side. general-hux-no-terms-no-surrender-jtl-134 is a no-brainer in any First Order deck, and Vonreg’s TIE Interceptor can reach 6 power with all the buffs and pilots in the deck.
Rebel Poe ECL
poe-dameron-i-can-fly-anything-jtl- is looking like one of the coolest leaders yet. Blue Falcon TCG brings together an aggro deck for the talented pilot, starting with his ship black-one-straight-at-them-jtl-147. There’s more rebel pilots ready to get in on the action, like nien-nunb-loyal-co-pilot-jtl-93, r2-d2-artooooooooo-jtl-245, biggs-darklighter-theyll-never-stop-us-jtl-150, and chewbacca-faithful-first-mate-jtl-103. poe-dameron-one-hell-of-a-pilot-jtl-100 can bring his own X-Wing too.
sabines-masterpiece-crazy-colorful-jtl-250 is very rewarding to attack with when you can satisfy its unit requirements. blue-leader-scarif-air-support-jtl-96 and red-five-running-the-trench-jtl-151 are just made for this rebel strat and of course leia-organa-pilots-to-your-stations-jtl-97 adds some sustainability for your air force.
Sabine Yellow
For a new take on Sabine, this space-focused list by Kugane Gaming packs many new cards from Jump to Lightspeed. The turn-1 play of They Hate That Ship dropping a millennium-falcon-get-out-and-push-jtl-249, followed by r2-d2-artooooooooo-jtl-245 or biggs-darklighter-theyll-never-stop-us-jtl-150 piloting it seems quite strong.
Two-drops like fireball-an-explosion-with-wings-jtl-198, resistance-x-wing-jtl-247, and frisk-vanguard-loudmouth-jtl-148 can deal 3 in space instead of on ground like typical Sabine ECL decks. Putting bb-8-happy-beeps-jtl-145 in a Resistance ship let you essentially ambush again after attacking. Getting han-solo-has-his-moments-jtl-203 on a Falcon can snipe a threat without getting scratched.
death-space-skirmisher-jtl-217 and razor-crest-ride-for-hire-jtl-223 slow down aggressive strategies. Jam Communications and spark-of-rebellion-sor-200 out of the sideboard are excellent disruption tools for slower decks.
Thrawn Space
grand-admiral-thrawn-how-unfortunate-jtl-2 can turn defeat into victory with enough triggers. This list by TehCheezus rounds up numerous cards with When Defeated abilities that the leader can double. Among the new JTL standouts are desperate-commando-jtl-60, droid-missile-platform-jtl-162, and shuttle-st-149-under-krennics-authority-jtl-242.
director-krennic-on-the-verge-of-greatness-jtl-32 is a must-have for this, and chimaera-reinforcing-the-center-jtl-39 lets you copy an ability you have in play for more value. no-glory-only-results-jtl-43 can grab an enemy unit's When Defeated ability while In The Heat of Battle ensures your opponent has to bring down your units first before they can get to your base.
