How to Use the Hidden Keyword in Star Wars Unlimited

A new addition to Star Wars Unlimited, the Hidden keyword is being introduced in the Legends of the Force set. As with other keywords in Star Wars Unlimited, it’s pretty easy to understand and use. If a card has the Hidden keyword, it means that it can’t be attacked until the phase after it’s played.

You can see this shown on the Anakin Skywalker, Force Prodigy card above; this shows the famous character (before becoming a Jedi, and long before his fall to the dark side, then his transformation into Darth Vader) as a child, with stats and abilities to match his status at that point in the timeline of the saga.

There’s likely to be many more examples of the Hidden keyword in Legends of the Force. It has a focus on Jedi and Force sensitive units, as well as the Force itself as an in-game mechanic.
