On the other hand I am glad that Parattanni dominates the Meta - not being NPE, not kicking anything out of the game (like Jumps did with rebel builds), requiring some skill to fly properly. I could imagine lot worse.

It's a fun list to fly. It requires actual thought to use well. Well done on putting the pieces together! I was separately toying with Asajj and mindlink and never thought of putting the 2 together.

I still get urges to go back to triple defenders, but I like the extra challenge of having 3 different ships to think about.

Coming back to the SoS - are the side tournament rules posted anywhere?

But 2-for-1 and 3-for-1 economy likecthat is a very different beast to the work compression 4-for-1/5-for-1 I'm talking about.

its actually supporting exactly what I'm saying. I don't want to kill action economy, I want to kill too much economy in one place too easily because once that's achieved it's virtually impossible to break without mirroring it with your own focused economy.

While I do think that it's incredibly interesting that Paratanni is a latecomer to the field for such a strong list and I think it requires a bit more skill (and I still think skill is a top factor in this game), I think he's right that it shares a lot of the same elements of Palp Aces. I think that it combines three or four cards/mechanics that are definitely fit more in the topic of power creep thread:

• 2x unlimited range abilities (Manaroo, Mindlink).
• Manaroo (while part of this is the range ability, her ship is undercosted and is an additional method in addition to Mindlink that makes it very challenging to limit the actions of this list through any number of strategies)
• Increased number of red dice (in the form of Fenn Rau, who while certainly has a weakness is significantly stronger when paired with both Mindlink and Manaroo, very much like a palp ace ship and is either the most played ship or second).

Just reminding people, the name of this topic is "First Systems Open!" not "Let's discuss how OP a list is and why all lists should suck". Just say'in

Hell, I won the thing and I'm enjoying the discussion.

Congrats on result mate! Now you are Parattanni champion to beat with this outstanding record

This List is a tool that works only in skilled hands.

I hope I can do some good during Yavin SoS I am willing to attend to.

Thanks!

I started out just flying meta lists against my friends to help them practice but that list was just so much fun to fly I couldn't put it down. Well done, sir.
