Dune Imperium: Uprising Leader Tier List! 

As a Princess Irulan main (who forgets to grab the intrigue card 80% of the time), you're absolutely right that her long-term deckbuilding strength comes at the cost of reveal power on the turns where you use the signet ring. I like to plan around that. For those turns where you have weaker buy power, Uprising includes a card that's extremely useful for Irulan, costs only 2 influence, and is always available to buy. With 2 influence reveal and green and blue access, a Prepare the Way is the equivalent of a Reconnaissance, a Dagger, and a Convincing Argument all rolled into one. If you're slash and burning your starting deck down to just Signet and Diplomacy, Prepare the Ways are an essential bread and butter card. I always grab two, sometimes three. That said, you mentioning that your games typically end at the first Conflict III card have me realizing that 4 player games must be incredibly different from 2-3 player games. In my 3 player group, we almost always play to the last or second to last Conflict III. Perhaps that's why I like Irulan so much. If I had 3-4 less late-game rounds to enjoy her slimmed down deck, I'd probably rate her down in B tier, too.

Love the little strategy tips for each Leader. Now that Dune Imperium is on Steam. I'd love to see a new guide for leader choice and strategy for the base game.

Looking forward to the ALL leader tier list.

Irulan - trash daggers, re-buy Prepare the Ways (or a better 2 presence option if available). Ignore focusing on 2 spice and obtaining. That doesn't slow you down, that speeds you up.

Another excellent Uprising content video!

Based on my stats. There will be some surprises in times to come!

Hey Orski, I tried the Emperor with the suggestions you made and I did do better than I have with him before but I still got stomped when my wife ran up a 6 point turn from behind on a turn 8 conflict (with spice Must Flows and a Shadow Alliance and worms), so I think I could probably do better with him in the future. I would love it if you would do a detailed video guide on how to play Shaddam well. Is there any chance that might be coming down the line?

And I liked Tuek and Irulan a lot! Dammit! 😩

may i ask, if Shaddam plays the ring, can he choose not to use the ability and put troops into combat

How do we know that you don't keep getting the troop and the spy if the token is at the end. I couldn't find it on leader card or in clarifications in rulebook

Everybody hates on Staban but, I think he's a high B/low A at best. I think if you start adding that module in immortality that helps you reset the imperial row once per game, then he's by far S-tier.

"They" ? I don't think anyone would be offended by using male/female pronouns.

i dont agreed with this ranking :P Lady Amber B tier great in first 1-3 combat, flexible in ur stategy and good for every start place Staban- S to B very shake but if u have good card on start he is beast Lady Jessica A-/B+ tier see crazy game with she, and use on fremen and BG Princess for me is B/C but i know that Lannister love she and I trust him a lot so probably A/B Margot yep we got first match, she is A Paul is A-/B+ in meta after more games he go down in ranking, second match think same Shaddam is S/A tier we got match number 3 Feyd is stong but for me is more A tier, ofc if u have a lot cards, who give u spy it will be S tier GH is S tier but i think he will be drop to A tier soon i got only 40-45 games on belt so maybe i will change my mind :P

If Shaddam goes to Sardaukar once, does he acquire both contracts at the same time?

Yayyy ^^

Honest question: how did you come up with your choices of pronouns for these characters? You're using she/her for Princess Irulan and Lady Margot, for instance, but they/them for basically every male character? I really don't think there's any lore that suggests Gurney Halleck might be nonbinary. Dude is as strongly gendered a character as they get. :)

Using they/them on a fictionnal character... really? You think they're gonna get offended?
