Commentators

Eric "GrumpyElephant" Baudry loves being part of the Star Wars: Unlimited community. He has found success as both a competitive player, including winning multiple PQs, and a deckbuilder, innovating meta-defining decks such as the Anakin Leader and Datavault Base. Since joining Maclunky Gaming, he has commentated a Regional Championship and multiple Sector and Planetary Qualifiers. In his spare time, he is a law professor.

Across over 25 years of playing, judging, developing, and casting TCGs, one thing in Dan Green's life has remained constant: a love of Star Wars. From finding his very first Star Wars cards under a stocking to commentating for the greatest players on the Galactic Championship stage, Dan's TCG career has spanned a galaxy’s worth of experience. Today, under the channel name Maindeck, he provides regular content and coverage for Star Wars: Unlimited alongside a variety of other games, and blends a signature high-energy style with a penchant for puns when stepping into the casting booth.

Davis “TowerNumberNine” Kingsley is an experienced competitive player and analyst across several tabletop games. He has been playing and covering Star Wars: Unlimited on YouTube since before its official release, has provided live commentary on many tournaments, and is very excited to be part of the coverage team for Galactic Championships this year. Davis’s favorite Star Wars: Unlimited deck is the Chewbacca Leader (LAW) paired with Alliance Outpost and he hopes to see it on the top tables!

Darick Oswalt, also known as CHARM3R, is a freelance esports host, caster, and analyst. He has nearly ten years of experience covering esports and trading card games, and due to his advanced age, he also has significantly more experience playing them. He is a husband, a father, and due to his corny jokes he is an eye-roll inducing menace.

Josh Snyder is a passionate play-by-play commentator who has become a recognizable voice within the Star Wars: Unlimited community. From Planetary Qualifiers to Regional Championships, he has spent the last couple years bringing high-stakes matches to life for players and fans alike. Known for his high-energy calls, he combines clear game narration with strategic insight to help viewers follow every key moment of the action. While not behind the mic, he enjoys spending time with his family in South Carolina.
