Casual tournament tomorrow, help me pick which list to fly!

By MashedBROTATOES, in X-Wing Squad Lists

I'm in the fence between two lists: palp defenders, or a decimator with pals and countess. I've flown decimator and countess three times so far and won every game. I've never flown palp defenders though I have everything but juke to do it. Tournament is pretty casual tomorrow and I'm just looking to have fun, but I'd still like to do well. So what're your thoughts?

I'd stick with the list you've flown more. That was my mistake at my first event; not enough practice with my list.

Trust me, you'll be kicking yourself of you take your less played list and start making mistakes, forgetting abilities/synergies etc.

Stick with what you know :)
