In sort of a play off of the “cards you forgot about,” list the aces (or generic squadrons) that you just seem to never remember about when building lists.

As a primarily Rebel player:

Keyan Farlander - why do I forget about highest potential bombing damage (4+1 for Norra)?

Nym - which is weird, because his text is a gamechanger if it goes off.

When playing Imps:

IG-88 - Again, weird, since he is used in the local gaming group occasionally.

EDIT: Just looking for those weird list building blind spots.

I Think Keyan moved to the Shadows after CC, Both new b-Wings have Better potential against squads, and currently still the heavy squadron list rule mostly(obviusly other lista can Shine too), so you need that extra anti-squad power. Nym was never a thing, at least here. Ig88 was always under appreciated in my opinion, but its a solid pick, if you can defend It or keep out of danger. A-Wings, ceptors and Intel ships hate It, and can go against ships too.

Ive wrecked a lot of ships with a triple-tapped Keyan (Adar + Yavaris). Deadly!

Ketsu Onyo.. I think I've used her once. Corran Horn doesn't get out much for me. And Lt. Blount I don't think I've ever used.

Nym is a pretty fun gimmick, a Yavaris Nym + Luke with supporting cast (Toryn, Adar, BCC, Norra, etc) build can be hilarious when Luke one-shots an MC30 and then Nym strips both of a Liberty's braces.

I always forget Ketsu exists.

A-Wing speed, hull, attack dice, token suite? Two blue battery, bomber? Grit and rogue? Reduces engaged enemies speed by two?

Bomber Command killed off Keyan locally. CC was using a jackhammer on the coffin.

Im just lookin for a chuckle at everybody’s “oh yeah, he does exist” squads.

Boba Fett. Oh yeah, he's in this game, and his tiny little Slave I looks kinda rad. Too bad he just doesn't have sick synergy with a million overlapping effects from nearby squadrons.

This is strange. Because the nerf of the Bomber Command Center should have made Keyan better again. He can reroll and use the BCC.

But yes, he is one i really never saw on the field so far. Same with Kestu or Hera.

On Imperial side it looks a bit bit better. Beside IG-88 and maybe Bossk all the other aces are played.

Edit: And Whisper, how could i forget Whisper.... (looking at the titel).

But Boba is, even if bad and rare, still way more often on the field, compared to Ketsu for example.

If you name Boba you need to name Han as well .

I like Boba. I dont think I'd take him to a tourny but I get him on the table now and then. I had one list where my whole fighter complement was him, morna key, valen and cienna. Actually wound up working cuz my opponent brought a corvette swarm. Like a lot of the expensive aces his issue is simply opportunity cost, because he is a presence on the table.

Aces I never bring;

Ketsu, Keyan, Nym, Blount...I think I actually use all the imperial aces with fair regularity.

Blount straight up. Z95s and Blount might have been able to shine if they were in fighter pack 1, but sticking them in pack 2 meant that you might get a Z or 2 in a list occasionally, but Blount never gets considered for me.

Bossk is a force when used properly. Folks forget his ability works against ships too. He is an ace killer and if he survives can move on to ships and do pretty consistent damage.

This is funny. I use Keyen and Blount a lot. Triple tapping keyen is my favorite thing to do. When he is in range of bomber command and with his rerolls he can do so much damage. Blount works good with another Z and dagger squad.

I have forgotten about Han. On the imp side, I never see people run Jonus...

A perfect example of differing metas. I see Jonus constantly ever since Rhymer got nerfed. Lately a friend of mine has been running him alongside a Glad2 Demo with a banked squad token and he's gotten pretty good results from it. Most people try to lock him down with just one squad because they forget or don't realize he has Grit.

Has anyone realized that Corran is the only unique pilot (Rogue, Green, Saber etc. excluded) who doesn't have his own unique ability?

As for aces I forget, IG-88, is the one I forget the most.

That is genius. I would like to see that used.

Yeah I wish I had thought of it first.

Rebel: Ketsu Onyo.

Imp: Whisper.

I had a phase where I used the Lancers all the time. Grit, Rogue and Bomber was great. They were like A wings, but they lacked counter and so having only 3 blue began to show. I haven't used them in a long time. I use A wings most of the time now.

We are playing a CC campaign in Denmark and my fleet list has Yavaris, Keyan, Ten Numb and Dagger sqd.

So far this combo is responsible, almost single handedly, for the deaths of 2x ISD's and 2x VSD's.

With Last, First Activation, I'm able to throw up to 34x attack dice on a single target ship, many Pizza's died.

Sounds like you pissed off your opponents more than once in each game! XD

Well two games was played against a list with only one sqd, two VSD's, one ISD and two Gozy's. I have 9-11 sqds in my list, so Yavaris had a field day with the B-wing Trio of death

I played with 1-2 Lancers, VCXs, E/wings and whatnot for a while. Was pretty good.
