Scum Escalation - Feedback requested

By 2BitGeek, in X-Wing Squad Lists

Got an escalation tournament coming up this weekend, only my second tournament but I have been playing in a league and a few casual games. Lately I have been flying a Kavil/Xizor list and this is a variation on that. Any feedback is welcomed.

Round 1 (58 of 60 pts):

Kavil - PtL, Engine Upgrade, Unhinged Astromech, Autoblaster Turret (34)

Binayre Pirate x2 (24)

Round 2 (90 of 90 pts):

Kavil - PtL, Engine Upgrade, Unhinged Astromech, Autoblaster Turret (34)

Guri - Autothrusters (32)

Binayre Pirate x2 (24)

Round 3 (119 of 120)

Kavil - PtL, Engine Upgrade, Unhinged Astromech, Autoblaster Turret (34)

Guri - Predator, Autothrusters (35)

Binayre Pirate x2 (24)

Black Sun Soldier x2 (26)

Round 4 (149 of 150)

Kavil - PtL, Engine Upgrade, Unhinged Astromech, Autoblaster Turret (34)

Guri - Virago, Sensor Jammer, Hot Shot Blaster, Predator, Autothrusters (43)

N'Dru Suhlak - Lone Wolf, Hot Shot Blaster (22)

Binayre Pirate x2 (24)

Black Sun Soldier x2 (26)

Never go full-Z-95 ™

If I were you, I would have taken extra Y-s. Guri is fun, but it's a low-skill arcdodger, and that's bad.

And Drea Renthal with TLT+RD11 deals 2 damage to ANYTHING out there. (but you'll never take the stress away...)

31 point!

Not sure what you mean by full Z-95, 5 doesn't seem like too many considering you can fit that many just in the first round. I'd like to add more Y-wings actually but I haven't used multiple ones a lot (just got my hands on a 2nd Most Wanted) and not sure whether Ion or TLT would be better in this sort of match. Are 4 TLTs needed to be a reckon-worthy force, or are 2 okay, etc.

Also not sure of the meta with something like this in regards to how many ships to field per round so I tried to ramp up somewhere between fat aces and swarm hoping to compete with both.

I'm already working on other lists with Xizor rather than Kavil. I'm not sure how much this version of Kavil will be effective in a 150 pt match although my thought was the more target-rich the environment, the more irrestistable hits can be dished out.
