Short answer? No.

Long answer? If you did win with it, you'd have to be both the most skillful AND luckiest pilot out there. An 8 point gap is no longer a bid, its a waste. Also, your Poe build isn't cohesive. The leftover focus is torn between Regen and Intensity; you need to choose one, unfortunately. Personally, I think the best Poe build these days has Intensity, BB-8, Primed Thrusters, Autothrusters, Black One. He's so hard to predict, basically as hard to hit, has excellent action economy, doesn't care if anyone single-stresses him and only cares a bit about being double-stressed.

I honestly think Corran's glory days are over. He's too expensive for such frailty. If he's PTLing, PS9s (of which there are many these days), can still pin him, he'll drop to bombs, etc etc.

The second list is way too light, there's just not enough to go around. I like the idea of double aces, but you need a lighter second ace and a small support ship, like Rex, Ahsoka, etc etc

A couple of waves ago we saw Corran miranda going far in worlds. So two ace builds can be done, but I think you need miranda as the big point sponge.

About your build I would also say the bid is too big, and the ships too fragile. Small fragile lists like yours can survive if they alpha strike something, but the list isn't capable of that either.

I think BB-8/Intensity Poe has a shot at being a true ace, but I don't think Corran can be flown along with him. I'm working on trying to figure out who does work with him, though.

mostly a joke build, but I'm glad to see some decent responses :)

I really want Corran to be viable again, but he is way to squishy for the points. a pair of GSP A-Wing is way more effective than a Corran and is cheaper too...

this is dumb as **** but I'm going to run it and it's going to be hilarious!

First round of combat: snap/juke R1 my enemies with the A-Wings - Corran fires first shot R1. A-Wings fire snap/juke mod shots. hopefully do not need to use evade tokens. Corran double taps for 6 dice @ R1. Corran bugs out (as he does). A-Wings reposition for a second R1 pass with Prockets and deal even more damage! Corran comes back around probably 2 turns later and does the Swarm Leader trick again!

oh if this doesn't die ultra quick it will be awesome....

@Wiredin - You're deviating from you own thread title!

p.s.- I think Adv SLAM-> Seismic Torp might be cool. It's in opposition to a bombing list, but might be a fun last ditch effort while running away.

Mira/Nym is going to be very popular I think. I also think it will be a very strong negative play experience for those flying against it.

I will also be flying it in a very similar build :)

I'm wating for the R4 trashtromech card before I finalize a Miranda/Nym list. Nym will also be my new winngman for Dash.

It can still get nuked by an alpha strike. Like any Miranda list, it'll require a good deal of forethought and skill to do well. Soooo...yeah, I'll probably fly it twice and quit. ;)

A lot can get nuked by alpha strikes if your not careful. Thats why I love Swarm Leader, it's more versatile than Ordnance in my experience, costs less, and still hits like a truck.
