Much more obvious issue, yes. Not sure I've had enough coffee, but very much yes to this.

This. I was about to suggest a large format card with all the ships, or a contiguous piece of art shared between them that forms a larger picture when they line up but immediately caught myself since chances are no one would ever get to use it...
Question- best coast pairings is apparently being used for Toronto system open. Also, they seem to accept official squad builder links for list entry. Given that you can change the linked list ex post facto, is there any merry chaos that could be caused by the official builder's inadequacy?

Change the list you use Round-to-round? Progressively larger bid as the day goes on?
Have you asked Devon? Or in the event page on Facebook?
I'm sure you could obviously abuse it by making changes on the fly, but, if caught, I'm also sure consequences could be dire. I mean, if your intent was bad enough. Maybe in your next tournament?

I've heard they accept pictures. Could I just take a photo of my squad on the table as my "list"?
I got the email last night about Toronto using Best Coast. Immediately winced and realized there was going to be another mass data entry spree this weekend.

If you know anyone, ask them to please post in the link to the list (preferably YASB, for SO many different reasons), AND in text.
This gives us two methods to piece back the list for entry into list fortress.

So, take a picture of the link, and the list in text, and post that into BCP. Got it. I'll pass that on.
Seriously though, I've helped you guys type a number of these lists. I know but a taste of the pain.

Maybe not a card, but more like a poster playmat. Something designed to fold up and be easy to bring along. It'd be cheap to manufacture, and you could have it as a giveaway promotion with any purchase from Wave ##.
Someone would need to supply all their own ships, but still. It'd be a kinda quick and easy way for folks to try out a top list without much hassle.
Oddly related question... anybody know how much data Best Coast eats up? I didn't like how long it took to load the event listings considering my stupidly low data plan...

I'm about to go on a 2 hour drive, so I guess I'll listen to an episode each of mynocks and krayts? Any classic episodes I should get? Or has a new challenger appeared since 700 pages ago?
(As an aside guy at a store told me the krayts are "hateful" and I shouldnt listen to them because they swear too much lmao)
So, I weirdly just got a notification of this post.
No, don't listen to the past episodes. Yes, we do swear a lot.
Whether you like the cast... no idea? But we do eat up a lot of time for commutes, so we have that going for us...

I do recommend the Kray listener series, even if it deals with 1.0.
Also my commute may be going up by two hours a day - the beltway will make a Krayt out of me yet.

Squad leader braylen used to be good, now I don't think the premium price you are paying for named Bs is worth it, you are better off with blades with hull upgrade

By the time the current champion deck is going published, it is already illegal... It would be the same with xwing.
Since I was busy with extended, I'm out of the loop about hyperspace... Why has @Boom Owl poll resistence as best faction?

I don't know - wouldn't you pay 5 points for an upgrade for an upgrade on a generic that let you spend stress when you have those linked actions? I'm... not really sure.
Having to roll the focus makes it a little harder, especially when I'm already able to link for the focus

The only answer I have is that is what people think.
People also think Empire is the worse faction.

They apparently don't like salads. The empire can make some pretty good ones.

Oh, duh, late night posting - Braylen's is clearly better. So, 6 points for pretty consistent two offensive rerolls. It also kinda doubles your agility, haha.

I mean in Hyperspace Empire really is. Especially when you consider what other factions can bring.
Resistance is a debatable, though I swing that way myself. It has multiple high performing lists that should make ripples. It’s not double tap Y swarm, but it’s got almost everything else.

They're the latest "good guys" to be released? People haven't been putting Rebel Falcons on the table? People over-correct on Scum points changes? Polls sent to the entire X-Wing community don't mean much, because some portion of the poll participants never play outside of their local community?

This.
There are a LOT of podcast-listening, committed local players that will probably never go to anything bigger than a store tournament.
What they got is what they got, regardless of the big tourney results.

I think that the Empire has to the most undefined playspace in Hyperspace which people equate to "bad". I am starting to see more fun mixed chassis squads (like your squad against Brunas in the S&V league) rise up. All people know are TIE Swarms and SNR Vader and SNR Vader got taken away.
