It's the End of an Era for This Star Wars Character

The beauty of Star Wars Unlimited is that, as long as you have the know-how, every Star Wars card has a place at the table. However, it's a fact that some cards are better than others, and if you're playing competitively in Premier, you'll want the very best to help you claim those wins.

One such card that stood out in competitive play was Cad Bane: Still Faster Than You. An aggressive villain leader introduced in Ashes of the Empire, Cad's ability lets him whittle down enemies and units, making him a powerful early-game threat. However, as the game progressed, he was downright frustrating to deal with. Cad has become such a problem that, as game developer Ryan Miles announced on Unlimited's official website, he is suspended from Premier.

"The data behind Cad Bane is extremely clear: the leader is a power outlier through and through, and he warps the entire metagame around him while still putting up dominant win rates," writes Miles.

Cad quickly found his feet in Premier, appearing several times throughout events and tournaments — including the winning deck of the Galactic Championship that took place in Las Vegas last month. The leader card has also featured heavily in other Unlimited Sector Qualifiers following the championship. However, with the suspension, Cad's time in competitive play has come to an end.

Miles writes that previous card suspensions in Unlimited — such as War Juggernaut — resulted when new additions interacted with existing cards, increasing their power.
