Command Villainy (Green-Black) in Star Wars: Unlimited

How Command Villainy Plays

Command's units, Experience tokens and resource effects meet Villainy's Empire, First Order, Separatists and Underworld. The result is the dark side's big-unit deck: it develops a board in both arenas and then plays units the opponent's removal struggles to handle.

The leaders each speed up that board in a different way. Admiral Piett plays Capital Ship units for 1 less, and deployed, every Capital Ship you play costs 2 less. General Grievous, Separatist Warlord plays two units from your hand in one action, a large gain in a game where players trade single actions. Grand Admiral Sloane, once deployed, gives every other friendly unit Overwhelm and Sentinel. Darth Vader, Might of the Empire gives your units that cost 3 or more Raid 1.

The top end is where the pairing is unlike any other. Executor is an 11-cost 12/12 with Overwhelm that creates 3 TIE Fighter tokens when played, on attack and when defeated, and Supremacy is a 12-cost 12/12 with Ambush that gives your other Vehicle units +6/+6.

What It Does Well, and What It Doesn't

Command Villainy Leaders

Four leaders that show what the pairing does, not a ranking. Each has exactly the Command and Villainy aspects; the leader's front is shown, and its card page has the deployed side.

Admiral Piett, Commanding the Armada

Cheaper capital ships

General Grievous, Separatist Warlord

Homeworlds #008

Grand Admiral Sloane, Holding the Empire Together

Overwhelm and Sentinel

Darth Vader, Might of the Empire

Raid for big units

• Admiral Piett, Commanding the Armada: Exhausts to play a Capital Ship unit from your hand for 1 less. Deployed, each Capital Ship unit you play costs 2 less.
• General Grievous, Separatist Warlord: His action plays 2 units from your hand, one at a time, paying their costs. Deployed, he gets +3/+0 while you control more units than an opponent.
• Grand Admiral Sloane, Holding the Empire Together: Her action gives each unit in one arena, on both sides, Sentinel and Overwhelm for the phase. Deployed, she has Overwhelm and every other friendly unit gains Overwhelm and Sentinel.
• Darth Vader, Might of the Empire: Friendly units that cost 3 or more gain Raid 1. Deployed, he has Raid 1 and keeps giving it to your other units that cost 3 or more.

Signature Cards

Cards printed in exactly these two aspects, so any Command Villainy leader plays them at printed cost whatever the base.

Steals a cheap unit

• Executor, Might of the Empire: A 12/12 with Overwhelm that creates 3 TIE Fighter tokens when played, on each attack and when defeated.
• Supremacy, Of Unimaginable Size: A 12-cost 12/12 with Ambush. Other friendly Vehicle units get +6/+6, which includes the TIE Fighter tokens this pairing makes.
• Emperor Palpatine, Consolidating Power: When played, you may take control of an enemy non-leader unit that costs 3 or less and give it 2 Weakness tokens.

Choosing a Base

Your base adds one aspect icon to the two on your leader. A base of another aspect gives the deck a third aspect; a Command base gives it a second Command icon instead. The third column counts the cards each choice plays at printed cost, out of the 1,409 non-leader, non-base cards in the Premier sets as of October 2026 (a reprint counted once).

A big-unit deck needs to reach its big units. Vigilance adds removal and healing that cover the early rounds; Cunning adds exhaust effects and the widest pool; Aggression adds Raid and direct damage for a faster version that uses Darth Vader's Raid. A Command base gives up about 220 cards for Command's double-icon units and the base's own ability, which suits a deck that is almost all Command already.

Only 5 cards in the Premier sets print two Command icons, such as Mace Windu, Austere Centrist and Oppo Rancisis, Ancient Councilor. That is why a doubled base is the exception. Every Heroism card costs at least 2 more whichever base you pick, since bases never provide Heroism or Villainy.
