I'm most of the through the episode, but I wanted to chime in on the system opens. Last year they were primarily Europe because Star Wars Celebration was in London, so it makes sense that with the Celebration in Orlando it would swing a bit more USA. If nothing else, it increases the chances that all eight winner will make it there (and it is probably cheaper for travel).

Man, Kevin makes me miss my two Defender list something hard. Two small ships.

coming from a swarm player this makes me shudder. It seems so scary. But in today's meta those ships are more likely to live than a swarm.

In the 2015 regional at Game Cafe I beat a 7 TIE swarm 100-0 with a pair of HLC Defenders. Another time. Are you going to be there in a couple weeks, or do you have your 3rd straight wedding?

I am this close to running a two TIE/D list this year, but the super-Bossk honestly scares the crap out of me for that kind of list.

Because at this point it's becoming unbelievable.

Holy ****, dude.

If Wave X isn't out by my regionals, I will probably be taking your list, Bio. Bossk is the only thing that really scares it from what I have seen. I just love how much it eats Rebel regen. . Haven't tested it vs Dengaroo yet. How does that matchup usually go for it? If Wave X comes out in time for Regionals, I will probably be flying something with Kylo crew. Dude is no joke.

It does a really good job against rebel regen. I keep not playing Dengaroo with it in tournaments. When I've played the matchup against myself, It's not easy, but it is winnable. You want to spread out, both to make Manaroo spend actions on movement, and to let you get shots on Dengar with someone from outside his arc. My general strategy was to keep Rex and the Academy pilot on roughly the same side, try to have the Academy leading the charge to get a bump and potentially block Dengar on the only turn he has an action (you want to avoid that Plasma Torpedo shot on a Defender if possible). Maarek would pursue Manaroo, but turn in on Dengar if it was a good idea. Rex would go after Dengar, either firing at Dengar's rear if Dengar tried to protect Manaroo, or trying to use the Academy to block the S-loop so Rex could get out of arc shots on Dengar. The Tractor Beam is really solid if you find yourself in a good position to concentrate on Dengar. AG1 with all the Focus and Lone Wolf rerolls isn't very scary. I'd try playing out the matchup against yourself a few times, just to see what can happen.

Great podcast as always. Missed Blair. You guys owe us a Dengaroo rant from Blair.
