Tournament Indecision: Pick My List

By Vorpal Sword, in X-Wing

Its a good thing no one runs Captain Yorr, cause that's just a bad matchup for your captive.

Yeah, but that would just be trolling. You'd have to add something like an Expert Handling Firespray and a PTL Interceptor to even make Yorr worthwhile, and that way lies madness.

Madness, I tell you.

Lol - I ran into Yorr in the top 8 of the regionals at Spokane...

Go with list one but use backstabber instead of dark curse as your opponents will probably be shooting the Firesprays.

You need all the attacks you can get with 3 ships.

So the tournament was this past Saturday. For those who haven't seen me mention it elsewhere, I ran a last-minute variation on List 1: Fett got Rebel Captive instead of Navigator, and the Bounty Hunter got Darth Vader, and (as suggested by several people here) I ran Backstabber instead of Dark Curse

Yorr took the Kingston regional a little over 2 weeks ago.

I was kidding. I actually beat VS in our last game of the tourney with Yorr. It was a game in which absolutely nothing went his way. It was painful. He will enact revenge on me sometime. I have no doubt about that.

Very cool. Happy to seeing Yorr get some love elsewhere. He can be a great insurance policy if one of the biggest threats to your list is stress.

Hothie was actually using him proactively, too. It was... illuminating, in a way, to watch (his) Kath K-turn up next to (my) Fett and then barrel roll out of arc, and then on the following turn zip away with a 4-straight. I was running Fett + Engine Upgrade like a charging rhino, surprising my opponents with speed and close-range attacks; he was running Kath + Expert Handling like a rhino doing ballet.

Did the same thing running him with whisper and soontir. It wasn't always easy to set up with the range 2 limitation, but I'm not sure I would have won my 6th game if I hadn't k turned soontir the turn after he bumped.

Lots of fun!
