I had the pleasure of playing against this thing and I use the word "pleasure" loosely. lol I didn't post the list but we pretty much know what it is. With the introduction of the gozanti, interdictor is there an imperial way to take this on? Or is the tourny meta pretty much three floating piles of meat in space? Thoughts?

Same way they've taken everything on.

Bomb the Crap out of it with Rhymer and then Demo it to Death.

When was three motti isds the meta?

Bomber command and Bwings is devestating, even to ISDs.

Just saw a 3xISD 2xGozanti 1xMotti. 400 points of vanilla. Lost by 370 points.

If it has to turn to get you it gets drawn out of position very easily and almost ends up in a line like an ackbar fleet.

It has never been "meta" in my area.

I didn't see it as a meta in wave 2, so it's unlikely to be meta in wave 4.

3ISD 2 Goz list is interesting but I think it'll be inferior to 2ISD Int 2Goz list.

... 2ISD Int 2Goz list.

I'm intrigued to see that list.

I would imagine it to be something like this. Still not good enough but better than 3 naked ISDs

Why Motti?

Tagge would except against bombers and small ships would enable you to use braces more often and potentially save you from more than just 3 damage that Motti gives.

I ran something like this with Konnie instead of Motti. IIRC (I don't have the list in front of me), it was IIInGz with Slicer Tools on the Goz and Konnie on the Interdictor. I probably threw Titus on a ship too because I like him.

It was alright. As I recall I played a newer guy with a Liberty and some squadrons, beat him handily but not crushingly. It was a lot of fun, though. I like the direction they're taking control, I think it's a lot of fun... I'm just still trying to figure out how to make it competitive.

As for the 3 ISD Motti... yeeeaaahhh... I'm not sure what your meta would have to be like for that to be competitive, but I've never seen it do well at all. I've faced it in tournaments twice: once with my CR90B/SW7 swarm (8-2 my favor) and once with a dual Dodonna APT MC30T list (10-0 my favor).

I really can't think of what it would be good against, except... maybe an MC80-heavy list? Without bombers or Engine Techs? I really don't know.

I do know it's not and never has been anything like a go-to around here.

I have never ever seen a three ISD list played. I may have to play it just for the crack.

I played 3ISD in one of my store champs (that I didn't intend to win) with mixed results. It was pretty fun.

There were some local metas that had a run of triple ISD during store championship in early wave 2. I had heard Phoenix, AZ was like that back when I was down south of Tucson. This was prior to DeMSU and B-Wing madness catching on and prior to Rhymer's resurgence, all of which utterly dominate triple ISD. There's a reason triple ISD did not even make the radar during Regionals.
