I like it. Dark Curse with stealth device had been one of the most annoying things in the game until auto thrusters showe up.
I've got 2 list variants similar to this one. The first one is a mirror of the UK, but replace gunner with Intel agent on the phantom. The 2 one is identical to your list, but with Backstabber instead. I feel like backstabber should be getting 3 dice against any turrets(which you are bound to see at a tournament) so he can pack a little more of a punch.
I haven't had a chance to play test these yet. I've got these 2 plus another 8 or so lists I want to play test before my regionals come up
Nice, 3 very hard to hit ships that can all operate on their own.
I'm not an experienced phantom player so I would also take intel agent over gunner especially with the new decloak FAQ.
The only problem I can see with taking Intel Agent over Gunner is that missing with Whisper really hurts her efficiency, since she needs to hit to gain the focus she may need for defence.
The regional tournament I'm attending is on Sunday, and I think I might take this list. The only alternative I'm really thinking about is this one with Intel Agent on Whisper in order to fit in a Shuttle + Vader, but I'm not very good at flying the Lambda, whereas I'm better with small ships and have more fun flying TIEs than the space cow.

I was inspired by the list similar to this one which won a UK Regional, only with Mauler + VI + Stealth Device instead of Dark Curse. Personally, I prefer the annoying lastability of Curse over Mauler's +1 Red Die at Range 1, since Mauler's ability is more situational than I'd like.
Mauler+VI helps against Rebel Captive, cheap counter to Whisper/Soontir. My guess, that's the reason why Mauler was there.
