Hi guys!

You get the idea from the title. I'm going to a store tournament tomorrow - triple scouts and fat Han have both been banned so no threat there... List 1,2 or 3 or a variant?! (no palp but got plenty of other upgrades)

List 1 is the only one I've practiced with, but I find Whisper without gunner has lost me at least 1 game...

Looking forward to hearing your votes/adjustments!

Thanks!

I prefer list 1. Gunner on whisper may have lost you a game, but those 5 points of upgrades can go a long way to winning you a lot more.

By the way, list 3's PS 8 whisper will die before shooting to Soontir, Dengar and most other PS 9 aces. You really need Veteran Instincts to make the phantom playable in competitive conditions.

Good luck with the tourney!

List 1

Decimator is what they're going to be shooting at. So punish them with Rebel Captive.

Interesting. I'm playing a tourney today too, and I'm flying the VT-49/phantom combo that you *didn't* list.

Kenkirk - Lone Wolf, Emperor Palpatine, Isard
Whisper - VI, ACD, FCS, Tactician

Lone Wolf, Palp, and Isard make Kenkirk absurdly tanky against lists with 2-3 ships, and PS6 is decent for blocking.

Edit- to answer the actual question, go with the list you've practiced with. List 1. I don't care for list 3 much. PS8 Whisper gets melted.

Hi guys,

Thanks for the comments.

Went with what I know, and tbh feel that this post and lists were the result of me last minute panicking after going 1-2 the night before the tourney.

I stuck to my guns and ended the 6 man tourney 4-0 and placed first!

So happy with my performances and even more chuffed with the new challenge coin and other bits... Thanks for all the help guys!

Nice work! 4-0 is super difficult to achieve, so even with a great list it takes a great player to go the distance. What alternate art cards were in the pack?

Corran Horn pilot, Predator AA, stress acrylics and a heavy metal challenge coin for me - tie fighter on one side and "Summer 2016" written on the other! Thanks dude, as a casual player I'm super chuffed!
