Prediction Time! Obviously, not all cards have been spoiled but that only adds to the degree of difficulty.

Anyway, my guess/hope is the Guidance Chip (I still say it's Core but we'll see). A cheap mod that increases effectiveness of munitions.

Do we agree that the Twin Laser Turret was the biggest splash of wave 7? Followed by...?

If the Tracers can actually make bomber swarms viable, it'll have my vote

Ordnance, swarms, and X-wings coming back in a big way.

For me it would have to be "Youngster".

The 3 huge modification cards change epic massively.

Youngster revitalizes swarms.

Int astromech could cause a renaissance of x-wings.

If the Tracers can actually make bomber swarms viable, it'll have my vote

for 1 point, i have to agree, although im not using them for bombers, but rather Tie Adv swarms

Tractor Beam!

we don't know, but until we get a new ACTION: upgrade, Youngster ain't doing ****

Wampa's pretty nifty, but he's no revolution in and of himself

need to see the rest of the cards, otherwise it's Integrated followed by Juke and then Targeting, provided it's a k4 reskin

we'll see when we actually know the cards, and there are quite a few "unknown" left.

boring answer, isn't it? ;-)

FGD im appalled at your answer... No mention of el presidente?

also how do you re-skin a mech with no skin... wouldnt it just be a skin-ing?

I am hoping it is tractor beam.

Tracers is uncertain, but it might very well be the best card. Integrated Astromech is a pretty solid bet, and I'm really curious to see what Guidance Chimp does. If it says "When attacking with a [missile] or [torpedo] secondary weapon, you may change a [eyeball] to a [boom]" (plus some restriction based on primary weapon) and costs a point, it could make generic TIE Bombers quite accurate. A Scimitar with Chimp, Tracers, Plasma Torpedos and Extra Munitions is a reasonably affordable 23 points.

Wait...Guidance CHIMP???? You evil person you!!! Strapping poor chimpanzees to your ordinance! How could you?!?!?

during WWII the US trained pigeons to guide Torpedoes on to Japanese boats.

Guidance Chimp:

Once a revolutionary thought, a shortage in bananas has made him practically extinct.

without bananas, he's prone to failure and will attack anyone in range.

repainting then

poor guy's gonna look real awkward jammed into the astromech slot, but it's for the greater good

as for Omega "El Presidente" Leader, he's amazing don't get me wrong, but he's not going to revolutionize the game. He's going to give Tie Swarms (or bomber wings) a great late game presence on the cheap.

Upgrades such as Integrated, meanwhile, make two entire ship-types playable (apart form Poe ofc).

Of the upgrade cards revealed so far, I think Kanan is the one with the most potential to really change up the meta. He will boost the Outrider and Falcon and quite possibly bring then back to contention, thereby changing the meta. I think Juke is the next runner up.

As for wave 8 ships, the ghost has the potential to change up the meta, if the Ghost+phantom+3rd ship build turns out to be good.

The Jump master has an outside chance, but it seems like it will just slot into 2 ship scum lists.

The inquistor will just slot into imperial ace lists.

The myst hunter is a bit of an unknown, the bwing doesn't see much play, so it depends a lot of what tractor beam does.

My vote is for something we haven't seen yet.

Ummm.... wut? I'm seeing stuff above about chimps riding torpedos, and the above in bold is still the craziest talk in this thread. I see B-wing swarms, B-wings with biggs, B-wings escorting Y-wings, B-wings taking X-wings jobs...

Cant really TIE it down to one card (sic). Unless you play epic you cant really see the shift the gozanti's cards make to that play (and it pretty much redesigned it)

I can see an awful lot of new attack shuttles on the field minus their ghost if the rest of the pilots are anything like ezra

Ezra + Ptl + dorsal makes for a 26 pnt very tanky xwing who doesnt give a hoot about his arcs,how many offensive eyeballs he uses a focus on, and has actions spare for a garanteed evade on top of the ability

Oh and did anyone catch the anti tlt zeb crew? Bumper car facemelting all round!!!!!

That stupid 12 point Jumpmaster title.

Scum not having ******* Super Dash was fun while it lasted.

3 dice != 4.

Ignoring obstacles != not ignoring obstacles.

Asymmetric dial with sloops != yt2400 dial

I'm not seeing the resemblance much myself.

...I'm not seeing the resemblance much myself.

Yeah, let's not reach for the ice cream cones just yet, PGS. There's yet to be revealed for the Jumpmaster.

If the tractor beam does anything but let me choose my opponents next maneuver, it wont be run, it does no damage.

At world's in the top 32 there was 1 bwing swarm, and 1 squad with 1 blue in it. That is it.

I don't see how my statement was crazy.
