Did I miss it or is Fenn Rau still on the board?

Draft is over, here are the ships which were not picked:

IMPERIAL

Bounty Hunter

Krassis Trelix

Boba Fett

Lieutenant Colzet

Storm Squadron Pilot

Epsilon Ace

Omega Ace

Lt. Lorrir

Kir Kanos

REBELS

Hera Syndulla (attack shuttle)

Knave Squadron Pilot

Blackmoon Squadron Pilot

SCUM AND VILLAINY

Graz the Hunter

Black Sun Enforcer

Black Sun Vigo

Surprised Colzet wasn't picked

So, someone picked Fel's Wrath?

That seems insane to me that no one picked Hera Shuttle. That's a PS 9 pilot with VI if nothing else, which seems valuable enough in this format.

Why wasn't Back to Dials on this contest?

Now that the draft has happened, we can make our tournament predictions.
1 -- Aces
2 -- Rook & Nova
3 -- Mynock
4 -- Champions
5 -- Scum & Villainy
6 -- Commonwealth

• Aces have the best draft and good players
• Rook & Nova has a slight edge over Mynock because of player ability
• Champions has a well rounded draft, so they could end up doing better than I predict
• Scum & Villainy along with Commonwealth are solidly in the last two spots

I'll summarize what appear to be the key draft pickups for each team.

1 -- Aces
Kenkirk & Captain Kagi for Palpatine
Howlrunner crack swarm
Lothal Rebel & Chopper
Dash & Miranda

Assorted Rebels and Imperials

No Scum, which is slightly troubling

I won't bet against crackswarm, double Ghost, Dash Rendar, and 2x Palpatine

2 -- Rook & Nova
Soontir, Inquisitor, Omicron Shuttle Palpatine
Wes Janson, Biggs, PS9 Poe
Trandoshan Slaver
Multiple TLT carriers

Only two large base ships and one is the shuttle
Only 1 real Imperial list
Good filler ships
Too much Rebels perhaps, so they very well could do worse

I don't want to bet against TLT's in the end

3 -- Mynock
Whisper, Omega Leader, Colonel Jendon
Patrol Leader Decimator
Omega Leader, Zeta Leader, other Tie fighters
Dengar, Bossk, Asajj, Zuckuss

Decent filler ships

The Tie/FO picks & Scum picks are very good

I don't want them to win, but they drafted well

4 -- Champions
Captain Oicunn & Chiraneau
Darth Vader & Carnor Jax
3x Defenders
Poe & Red Ace for regeneration
Leebo & Eaden Vrill
Guri, Palob, Kaato for Attani Mindlink

A well rounded draft

No standout lists is why they aren't placed higher

I want them to do better than 4th with this draft

5 -- Scum & Villainy
IG-88 ABC & Moralo Eval
Fenn Rau, Old Teroch, Manaroo
Corran Horn, Chewbacca, Lando

Very little playable Imperial ships
Why 4x Firesprays?

Brobots, Moralo, and Corran will do well, but Falcons and Firesprays will be an Achilles heal.

6 -- Commonwealth
Captain Yorr & Echo
2x Defenders
Han & Jake
Tel Trevura & Contracted Scout
IG-88D & Latts Razzi

Does not have the best filler ships for rounding out squads

Very challenging to get 6 playable lists out of this draft

I am going to post a google doc with the information from the draft for everyone to view. Just have to get permission to do so and then I will.

Here's a read only link to the doc

Please note that squad building rules say that you can only deploy one ship of each pilot -- so no Howl + Crack Black swarm for example.

Your bias is palpable.

The draft was fun! My first three picks were Fel, Inquis, and OGP to make that list. Then I abandoned the imperial faction, as it was getting picked over pretty hard. I started grabbing every decent TLT carrier I could, since most of the ships in the game don't like getting plinked to death by them. Once the TLTs ran out, I grabbed cheap filler ships, and then tried to disrupt the other drafters by grabbing anything decent in the imperial faction that remained.

If you are on my team (Bob, Serrate, Phil, Jeff, and Jeff), we have until Wednesday to throw together some builds. Contact me, or else I'll just assign you a build you might not want to play! The way I see it, we have the following lists:

Palp Aces

Party Bus, 2 TLT, Z

Ketsu, 2 TLT

Then we have to make 3 rebel lists out of:

TLTs: Rebel Op, Guardian K, Gray Y, Horton

High PS: Norra, Keyan, Poe-9, Luke, Wes, Wedge

Biggs: Biggs

Filler: Thane, Dagger, Blue Ace, Red, Bandit

Any suggestions on how to split the rebels up is appreciated! I'm probably going to have two lists with 2 TLTs, and one list with none. Biggs - Wedge - Poe9 seems like a scary ace list. Then pick 2 TLTs, 1 high PS, and 1 Filler for the other two lists.
