Vigilance Heroism (Blue-White) in Star Wars: Unlimited

How Vigilance Heroism Plays

A Vigilance Heroism leader gives your deck Vigilance's tools (Sentinel units, Shield tokens, healing and removal) and Heroism's characters: Rebels, Jedi, Mandalorians and the Republic. The base adds a third aspect, so the leader sets the plan and the base decides how wide the card pool is.

The leaders are built around keeping units alive. Luke Skywalker, I Can Save Him heals a unit after its attack ends, Kanan Jarrus gives Shield tokens to Creature and Spectre units, and Ahsoka Tano, Fighting For Peace makes a friendly unit a Sentinel for the phase so you choose which unit the opponent must attack. The effect is that your units survive trades that would be even in another deck, and keep attacking the next round.

Games tend to be won late. The early rounds go to blocking with Sentinels and keeping your base healthy, and the deck then takes over with expensive cards the opponent can't answer cheaply, such as Bo-Katan Kryze, Alone, which gives every enemy unit -3/-3 for the phase when she is played.

What It Does Well, and What It Doesn't

Vigilance Heroism Leaders

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

Luke Skywalker, I Can Save Him

Ashes of the Empire #005

Heals after attacks

Satine Kryze, Standing on Principles

Secrets of Power #005

Moves damage to your base

Ahsoka Tano, Fighting For Peace

Legends of the Force #003

Sentinel on demand

Kanan Jarrus, Help Us Survive

Legends of the Force #004

Shields for Creatures and Spectres

• Luke Skywalker, I Can Save Him: When a friendly unit's attack ends, you may exhaust him to heal 1 damage from that unit. Deployed at 7 resources, he heals 2 from that unit or your base after every friendly attack.
• Satine Kryze, Standing on Principles: Her action heals up to 2 damage from a unit and deals that much to your base. Deployed, she is a 0/8 with Restore 4, so each of her attacks heals 4 from your base.
• Ahsoka Tano, Fighting For Peace: Uses the Force to give a friendly unit Sentinel for the phase. Deployed, she does the same on each attack without spending the Force, so pair her with cards that create your Force token.
• Kanan Jarrus, Help Us Survive: For 1 resource, gives a Shield token to a Creature or Spectre unit. Deployed, he enters with a Shield and gets +2/+2 while you control another Creature or Spectre, so he leads a trait deck rather than a general one.

Signature Cards

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

Bo-Katan Kryze, Alone

Secrets of Power #051

9-cost board sweep

The Mandalorian, Devoted Rescuer

Ashes of the Empire #062

Shields the team

Qui-Gon Jinn, We'll Handle This

Homeworlds #078

Punishes base attacks

• Bo-Katan Kryze, Alone: When played, gives each enemy unit -3/-3 for the phase, and each enemy unit defeated while she is in play gives a friendly unit an Experience token.
• The Mandalorian, Devoted Rescuer: Enters with a Shield token and can spend it to prevent damage that would be dealt to another friendly unit.
• Qui-Gon Jinn, We'll Handle This: Grit, and when played he may defeat a unit that attacked your base this phase. If that unit is a leader, Qui-Gon is defeated too.

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 Vigilance base gives it a second Vigilance 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).

Vigilance Heroism already knows how to survive, so the base mostly answers how the deck closes a game. Command adds bigger units and Experience tokens to finish with; Aggression adds the direct damage this pairing otherwise lacks; Cunning adds Ambush units and tempo events. A Vigilance base keeps the deck tight around its defensive cards and its double-Vigilance cards, at the cost of about 220 cards.

Only 5 cards in the Premier sets print two Vigilance icons, such as Nala Se, Silent Survivor and Size Matters Not. That is why a doubled base is the exception. Every Villainy card costs at least 2 more whichever base you pick, since bases never provide Heroism or Villainy.
