I'm starting to get the feeling that Paul wants to be Chad when he grows up.

LOL! Or vice versa! I always appreciate Paul's appearances on the show and love what he brings to it!

Ed got things a little backward ... the new FAQ/timing chart didn't nerf Deadeye/R4. In fact, the previous FAQ was all that allowed it to function, after the combat phases changes in the TFA core set. The new FAQ, removing the specific R4 Agromech entry that allowed it to work, just went back to RAW.

"Nice of you guys to drop by.."

I had forgotten about that and I'll correct it next show. But you are correct.

Great episode guys! Thanks for the Dengaroo talk, I've been a bit out of it since it became mainstream so it's good to get some hints on how to deal with it.

Pauls list with Biggs, Corran and Wes intrigues me, as I've been piping up the Biggs/Wes combo as a good one since JM5K came into the scene. With anti-ace tech and/or an ace like Poe/Corran, I'm wondering why this list archetype is not being flown more often? Should have good match ups against both Palp Aces and the JM5K.

"Gonk"

Stuff Dengaroo.

Gonk is the new power card of scum.

I wish. Lol.

I think we all had fun recording this one!

I know I had a Gonk'ing good time.

I'm glad i wasn't the only one who caught that
