Colzet will work as long as there isnt a second face down card (which makes blinded pilot 1 chance in 2 to be flipped) which can keep a ship permanently blinded - ive done it before, a month before Wave 9 released when I played Wampa, Colzet, Carnor and Palp Shuttle - Wampa dealt one face down to Scum Kath Scarlet and my Colzet flipped it up every single turn until I had dealt with the rest of the list, at which point I turned around and destroyed Kath with ease - I felt bad for the guy but it was 2 chances out of 33 of that card being a blinded pilot - now Kylo + Vader makes that 1 chance out of 1 .. x;

Vader (crew) doesn't work with ISYTDS. It specifically states "After you perform an attack," and ISYTDS says, "When you suffer critical damage during an attack" (emphasis mine). This is going to be a really, REALLY common rules problem.

I'm less than impressed with Kylo (pilot), though I really did like the ship itself. Kylo is too random in his distribution of ISYTDS (Isitdis? heh), but the Upsilon is a solid spaceframe. I took a "All Sith" crew of Vader (pilot), Kylo (pilot) toting Palpatine and it was loads of fun. I called it Sithheads, but apparently my fiance says I should have called it "Sith Happens." Sadly, ISYTDS was the most disappointing thing of all thanks to it randomly spreading about - it was a weird multiplayer game and jumped around multiple times.

RACKylo won its first(?) regional today in Canberra, Australia (90 ish people). Paired with Carnor.

How much is the sky falling now?

Oh nice, what was the final list?

I believe it was RAC with Predator, Kylo, Gunner, Vader, Engine, Dauntless and Carnor with PtL, Royal Guard, Autothrusters, Hull Upgrade

Kylo and Vader? Interesting to see a RAC without HSCP.

Also interesting to see Carnor Jax being flown. Certainly a braver man than me....

The list was:

Carnor Jax + Push the Limit + Autothrusters + Hull Upgrade + Royal Guard TIE
Rear Admiral Chiraneau + Predator + Dauntless + Engine Upgrade + Darth Vader + Gunner + Kylo

Another Kylo list made it into the Top 16 (of 88 players):

Kylo Ren + Veteran Instincts + Collision Detector + Emperor Palpatine
The Inquisitor + Push the Limit + Autothrusters + Tie/v1
Omega Leader + Juke + Comm Relay

That list was discussed in a Duncan Howard stream- he basically said that Carnor obviated the need for HSCP and in certain situations Vader is absolute money.

Dude most be been lucky to not come up against some horrible anti ace lists though right?

Or he correctly predicted the meta, or he beat them anyway.
