Hi all,
I have been working and reworking lists for my local Store Championship (still a month away 
). I want to fly a Rebel list that can be competitive, but doesn't necessarily have all the current favorites (TLTs, stressbot, etc). Here is what I came up with: I'd like to know which of the two lists you think would be better, and how they might stack up against the current popular lists. Basic premise of the list: I wanted to use A-wings because they are inexpensive autothruster carriers, and because they can carry two EPTs to make Juke even more effective.
List A:
Wes Janson w/ Predator, R2D2, and Engine Upgrade
Green Squadron Pilot w/ Refit, Title, Push the Limit, Juke, and Autothrusters
Green Squadron Pilot w/ Refit, Title, Push the Limit, Juke, and Autothrusters
Bandit Z-95
100 points
List B:
Wes Janson w/ Predator, R5-P9, Integrated Astromech
Green Squadron Pilot w/ Refit, Title, Push the Limit, Juke, and Autothrusters
Green Squadron Pilot w/ Refit, Title, Push the Limit, Juke, and Autothrusters
Prototype Pilot A-wing w/ Refit, Autothrusters
100 points
Janson's ability works well in tandem with Juke, as it removes focus tokens before the Green Squadrons attack with Juke. I like List A because it gives the X-wing the ability to reposition some, and can regenerate without having to use focus to do so. The downside is the Bandit, while a decent blocker, can be burned down easily by TLTs (and most anything else). List B adds a 3rd A-wing, which not only blocks better, but is much more survivable than the Z-95. The tradeoff is that Janson loses boost and his regen requires his focus token. Again, I'd really appreciate some feedback regarding the general competitiveness of this list against popular builds like TLT, control lists, Brobots, Palpmobiles, etc. Any input is very appreciated!
