Nice to see it do well. The Baby Blues is a simple list - but not an easy list to win with - and it's very impressive and satisfying to see it do well.

The person who won; flyed the hell out of the list. I saw it take on Kanan/Biggs, Denger (can't remember what with) and K-Wings.

Fantastic matches to watch.

Can I ask what the list was? I love T70s and would like to blow stuff up with them

Blue Squadron Novie - R2 Astromech - Interrogated Astromech. x4

super basic, like i said the person out flyed everyone

To continue CasoPrime's post about the "Rogue Squadron Pilot" 2 point title, this would be simple way to address power creep and dial creep and get the Rookies back in the fight...

I don't think the current game needs to be thrown away for a "2.0" version of the game, or that any cards like "Biggs" need to be banned to move forward.

All it would take is to simply re-state what the "base game" looks like (2 TIEs vs 1 Xwing in the original starter, which translates into 8 academy TIEs vs 4 Rookie Pilots with torpedos ... That is the original base xwing game.

Here is what my store came up with in Springfield, Missouri:

X-wing 2.0 (lower the floor)
+++++++++++
"Rogue Sqdrn. Pilot"
Title, Xwing only
Cost 2 points
Your action bar gains the Barrel Roll action icon.
After you execute a 2 bank maneuver, if you are not stressed, you may rotate your ship 180 degrees, then, receive 1 stress token.
++++++++++++++++
"Recruit"
Title. TIEs only.
This card has negative point cost. (-2)
Non-unique pilots only.
Must be pilot skill 2 and lower.
This ship may not have any other upgrades or modifications assigned to it.
++++++++++++++++++++

This new base game would look like 4 Rogue Sqdrn title rookie xwings with R2 Astromechs and Integrated Astromech (96 points) vs.10 "Recruit" title Academy TIEs (100points). This is how we lower the floor. I think this is xwing 2.0, without banning or changing anything about the current set of cards.

At 2 points, the Rogue Sqdrn title would not break the T70 (you couldn't use 4 in a list), but could be used on the t65 with the R2 Astromech (make all 1 and 2 speeds green) without giving the xwing green or white s-loops. The way it is worded gives them a red s-loop with a free action. This gives them more flying options on the board, which helps to "un-strangle" the player flying the original X-wings.

The "Recruit" title could be used on all TIE variants and create new hardware swarm options (15 point Strikers with no Adaptive Alerons, 13 point TIE/fo, 14 point dry bombers, etc). This would be awesome for Imperials.

Idealisticly, rebels are desperate and creative and heroic, where TIEs are expendible hardware. These titles would enhance both core points for these factions.

To translate, "Rebel Only" includes Resistance as a legal subset and is not a rules-recognised means of separating the two.

Rebel Faction includes the Rebel Alliance and Resistance subfactions. So;

X-wing Only. Rebel Alliance Only.

It's going to be Yuge, uh I mean Biggs!

and we should totally build a cluster-mine wall with minefield mapper
