That's right! Look at all the major events Imperials have won since the JM5K and Captured TIE came out. Just to show all this misinformed Cretans, why don't you list them all out for us (I'd not count a tournament where non Imperials were required to run a B-Wing or a Y-Wing, just unsporting)

Since the release of the JM5K? Didn't Palp Aces/Crack swarms win all but one System Open in that wave? I remember Ryan Flemming won Hoth with Triple Jumps, but all the others were Imperials if I recall correctly.

Not all, but most of those in 2016.

What do you see most commonly winning? What are the most annoying lists to face against?

If you can explain what's so good about a certain list that helps a lot.

I've got a lot of new Rebel tech I need further clarification on:
What's a Ballet Norra build? <- what are its good wingmates?
Rey ?? With miranda?
Is Heragator easily beatable with high PS?
Kanan Biggs - with EU and R3A2.
Sabine K-wings

I hear for scum that:
Attanni Mindlink is great, what builds abuse it now?
2-3 Jumps with torps are coming back, sometimes with Fenn Rau <- how do these work? Are they a big deal?
Fenn Rau is nuts good, who does he tend to go with?
Shadowcaster is also nuts efficient, but is Paratanni still the main thing?
Is Dengar still a thing?

What are the reliably good Imp builds?
Something with Quickdraw?
A few really good ships: Vessery with x7 is still nuts. Major Stridan is really worth his points.
Feels like most Imp builds are back to wave3 style luck: you gotta arc dodge like hell and one bad mistake means a Ghost chunks your day with his overwhelming dice.

Is the right meta call right now to just take a bunch of TLTs? Say Miranda YYZ?

---

Final question, comes with wine: are we back to a "horrible" meta again that is basically all 2-3 large ship lists with the most cost efficient arc dodgers? (Fenn Rau and turret Miranda?) Are we crazily enough basically back to wave4-6 and wave8 Jumps combined?

Meta is pretty simple. Scum build with a Jumpmaster or a Shadowcaster. You can team that with almost anything and do well... I started playing scum recently with Asajj + 2xTLT built. I had to switch the partners because it felt like EZ mode. I tried to bring less powerful ships like HWK, Kirahxz and even a Mist Hunter. No matter what i partnered with Asajj, it remained a really strong build... :-)
