Command (Green) in Star Wars: Unlimited

How Command Plays

Command wins on board. It has more units than any other style aspect, and many of them make more units or make the ones you have bigger. General Draven creates an X-Wing token every time he is played or attacks, and Seasoned Fleet Admiral gives out an Experience token, a permanent +1/+1, whenever an opponent draws during the action phase.

It is also the resource aspect. Command has the most cards that refer to resources, from putting extra cards into your resource row to units that get better the more resources you control, so a Command deck often plays its 7- and 8-cost cards a round or two before the opponent expects. The Purrgil King is a 4/12 for 8 with Restore 4 that, when played, draws a card for every friendly unit with 7 or more HP left, itself included.

Overwhelm is the finish. A unit with Overwhelm that defeats the unit it attacks deals the excess damage to the opponent's base, so a large Command unit punishes an opponent who defends with smaller units. Command has nearly half the Overwhelm cards in the Premier sets.

What It Does Well, and What It Doesn't

Command by the Numbers

Counted from the 1,409 non-leader, non-base cards in the six Premier-legal sets as of October 2026, a reprint counted once. A card with two aspects counts for both.

The most common traits on Command cards: Vehicles, the Underworld, Rebels, Imperials and Officials. Of the 342, 145 print only Command and fit any deck with a Command leader or base; the rest also print Heroism, Villainy or a second style aspect.

Cards That Show What Command Does

Each prints the Command icon and nothing else, so it plays at printed cost under any leader or base that provides Command.

Arena sweep

• Seasoned Fleet Admiral: A 2-cost Raid 1 unit that gives an Experience token to a unit whenever an opponent draws during the action phase.
• General Draven, Doing What Must Be Done: Creates an X-Wing token when played and every time he attacks.
• The Purrgil King, Leading the Journey: A 4/12 for 8 with Restore 4 that, when played, draws a card for each friendly unit with 7 or more remaining HP (it counts itself).
• Turbolaser Salvo: A friendly space unit deals damage equal to its power to each enemy unit in the arena you choose.

5 cards in the Premier sets print two Command icons, such as Mace Windu, Austere Centrist and Oppo Rancisis, Ancient Councilor. To play one at printed cost, your leader and base together need two Command icons, which usually means a Command base under a Command leader.

Command Leaders

A leader with Command almost always pairs it with Heroism or Villainy. One leader from each pairing, not a ranking; each pairing's page has more.

Command Villainy

• Hera Syndulla, Not Fighting Alone: While you control 2 or more units, ignore the aspect penalties on Heroism units you play. Deployed, she adds Restore 1 and keeps the same ability.
• 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.

Aspect Combinations With Command

A deck is usually named by its leader's two aspects. These are the 2 pairings that include Command, each with its leaders, signature cards and which base to choose.
