Unfortunately, Gleaming Lord, Uranus does not fit well in the premium format. His abilities are too slow against decks with G-Units. You want to play your G-Units instead of using Gleaming Lord, Uranus’s effect to generate Force markers. Your G-Units provide more offense and have stronger abilities to give an advantage to you.

Furthermore, Gleaming Lord, Uranus creates the Astral Plane for Giant Deity of Distant World, Valkerion to join the battle! His card’s design does not fit well in the premium format.
