My FLGS is holding an "average tournament" where the rules stipulate that you can't used any unique cards; no named pilots, no unique upgrade cards (Palp, R2D2, etc...)

I'm trying to decide between two lists:

Phantom/Phantom/RGT

Shadow Squadron (25)

Gunner (5)

Fire Control System (2)

Stygium Particle Accelerator (2)

Shadow Squadron (25)

Gunner (5)

Fire Control System (2)

Stygium Particle Accelerator (2)

Royal Guard Tie (22)

Push the Limit (3)

Stealth Device (3)

or....

Dual Firespray Mercs

Mandalorian Mercenary (35)

HLC (7)

K4 Security Droid (3)

Crack Shot (1)

Engine Upgrade (4)

Mandalorian Mercenary (35)

HLC (7)

K4 Security Droid (3)

Crack Shot (1)

Engine Upgrade (4)

I'm expecting lots of swarms (BBBBZ, TLT thug, Blackcrack, etc...) but don't want to run my own (because I don't have the ships for it.)

Patrol Leader

2x Royal Guard+PtL+Auto+Stealth+title

You may drop stealths for gunner on deci if you want.

Have fun winning.

EDIT: although your shadow squad list looks scary too. But you may get some PS5 with ini/PS6 guys (coughroyalscought) that will shoot them out of the sky. And get rid of that stealth on royal..if you have no points for both autos>stealth.
