So I decided to enter my first store championship, and it is over a month away, giving me plenty of time to practice, and I think even some of the wave 8 stuff is out by then? But currently I'm thinking of just running with a Decimator/Phantom combo, as it's what I've had the most practice with so far. Haven't really practiced with formations too much but I was thinking about maybe practicing with Poe and a couple K-Wings or some TIE/Fo's with Vessery.

List 1

I've been running Vader on the Decimator, but thought about running Mara Jade or Rebel Captive instead. I don't have Agent Kallus currently but am going to proxy him in practice and probably just buy the card off ebay or something if I find it useful enough.

List 2

99 points

PILOTS

Colonel Vessery (43)
TIE Defender (35), Heavy Laser Cannon (7), Veteran Instincts (1)

“Omega Leader” (26)
TIE/fo Fighter (21), Comm Relay (3), Juke (2)

Epsilon Squadron Pilot (15) x 2

I haven't practiced with this one yet really, but I just recently bought a couple more TIE/fo expansions so I have everything to give it a go. It was either this setup or drop Epsilons for one "Omega Ace" with Comm Relay and Juke, and add a Shield Upgrade to Vessery. Some forum members helped me with this list a few months back, just haven't gotten around to trying it.

List 3

100 points

PILOTS

Poe Dameron (38)
T-70 X-Wing (31), R2-D2 (4), Veteran Instincts (1), Autothrusters (2)

Warden Squadron Pilot (31) x 2
K-Wing (23), Twin Laser Turret (6), Tactician (2)

This one I actually got from another thread on here and thought it looked interesting, plus I've wanted to use Poe ever since seeing the movie lol. I've only flown it once so I'm not entirely comfortable with it yet. I actually kept forgetting to use all of Poe's abilities Proxied 1 Tactician and Autothrusters until I grab another Phantom and a StarViper

I'm not sure what the meta is in my area right now (Upstate SC) but like I said I'm most comfortable with the Decimator list currently, but I have plenty of time to practice, as the tourney isn't until Feb 27th. I don't really care if I win (haven't been playing long), but I'd like to be somewhat competitive. My current inventory is as follows, and if you guys think anything will make any of these lists better, I'm prepared to buy some other expansions and/or grab some wave 8 stuff when it hits:

OG Core Set x2

TFA Core Set x2

Millenium Falcon

YT-2400 Freighter

K-Wing x2

TIE/fo Fighter x2

TIE Defender

TIE Phantom

VT-49 Decimator

Slave 1

Lambda-class Shuttle

IG-2000

Edit: Forgot Imperial Aces

In like the Phantom and chiro build

Its the tlt builds you have to be careful with. But agaw shouldn't be a problem staying in close to them

Idk but I think I'd prefer predator instead of gunner, of coarse you lose your veteran instincts
