No. It might be Sloane.

She is new and she is great.

Tarkin. I was one of the only who was playing him.

Anticipating a Sloane-storm, although I'm now doubting that considering that that wouldn't be an unexpected outcome.

Its a Tagge-Storm to counter the non existant Sloane Storm.

Tagge-tornado?

Rieekan all the way down.

Sloane cordially thanks you for the buff @Drasnighta.

Edit:

I looked at the Summer FAQ spreadsheet, and I think @Drasnighta did an excellent job.

I also happen to think the ruling on Sloane gives her a significant boost.

Clearly must be Tagge then. As for most popular, I have to wonder if some of you are piggybacking on my new found love for Madine...

This is a great way to make sure that people don't volunteer to help you have fun pushing around digital plastic spaceships again.

I'm trying to understand why you believe Sloane prevents players from spending defense tokens? Sloane's ability to spend dice for tokens occurs in an entirely separate part of the attack step than the defender spending them for defense? In order for that to work, Sloane would need to spend her accuracy results after the spend/modify dice step?

I was solidly in the "this is ridiculous" camp when I first read this one, too, but the arguments here are actually pretty solid. In brief:

RRG pg 4 DEFENSE TOKENS said:

A defense token cannot be spent more than once during an attack.

Note the wording distinct from the preceding bullet point:

RRG pg 4 DEFENSE TOKENS said:

The defender cannot spend more than one defense token of each type per attack.

Because it's already been spent this attack, it can't be spent again, regardless of who did the spending. This is distinct from the restriction on spending multiple tokens of the same type, because the defender is the only to whom that restriction applies... so Sloane spending one of Luke's braces doesn't lock both, for example.

I personally don't care one way or the other, just presenting the rationale. If you think there's something that was missed in the linked discussion that impacts the resolution, please take it to that thread or pm the Marshal @Green Knight so's not to sidetrack the thread. :)

That argument does not make sense because it would immedately disqualify other combos that we know should work, such as Darth Vader and TRCs.

Are you going to turn off Darth Vader TRCs on the Arquitens? Because you have to, assuming they both use the evade token.

Apologies, you are correct.

@Green Knight It says I cannot message you my list.....it says you cannot accept messages.

Due to numerous reasons, Sloane has been flipped.

Wonderful things to read after a day at hospital, y'know.

Looks like my inbox is full.

Despite clearing out everything before submissions.

I'll do some house cleaning.

Sloane may or may not get a official FAQ entry - in about 6 months - that contravenes what poor tourney FAQ says.

For this tournament, however, you can't spend a token that Sloane already spent (during that attack oc).

44 of 46 lists are in!

Awaiting confirmation later today:
