I just saw that. Thanks guys. It's still a bummer, as a rebel player.

Biggs Darklighter, what?????
This card should read:
Once per game, at the start of the Combat
phase, you may choose that until the end of
the round, other friendly ships at Range 1
cannot be targeted by attacks if the attacker
could target you instead.”

It's crazy.

In an unrelated question, how many of you are now selling 2 of your 3 Jumpmasters?

It's very thematic.

WOW...lots of changes coming our way.

When do you think these new rules will go into effect?

Although, if this is dated from 3 months ago, how do we know this is in fact the final revised version

I only have two, which I only have because I needed three mindlink cards, which means they bend me over hard ^_^

This goes into effect on November 6, 2017. Get in your FSR, OPQ, NymGar, trip scouts while you can...

I am so happy about this! I’m doing a happy dance at the train station :)

Biggs and Triple Toiletseat players.

Am I reading the Genius nerf right in that it kills Bomblets? Genius specifically instructs you to discard the bomb upgrade.

Spec ops title clarified to stop the questions in the rules subforum...

Targeting synch also addressed.

Pattern analyzer too.

Wow, check out Genius! Scum Nym just died.

Okay, I downloaded the PDF and took a look. Pretty sure I just suffered a minor aneurysm. That is a lot of information.

Yep. The corrections are now 1 page longer than the rules. FFG really need to get the actual cards up to date.

If Biggs' ability is only once per game then he has no real value on the table.

Yeah, that was my thought too. Maybe the bright side is T-65 buff incoming?

Jump nerf strikes me as odd - without the rumored change to the title, too, doesn't that mean the retail kit has cards in it that it cannot use?

That seems like a problem...

After 3 years of complaining the ship is ruining the game, you're now going to complain about the packaging????

I'm fed up with heavy handed nerfs and lengthy, awkward rewordings, especially since all that was ever needed in the vast majority of cases is point-cost adjustments.

Yes.

Yep. If you Genius with the Bomblet Generator, you have to discard the Bomblet Generator card (which would be silly to do)

Any evidence of this? My faith is shaken right now.

I’m actually pretty upset about the Biggs nerf. I now 100% expect an X-Wing fix and it better come quick.

I don't use Nym with Genius anyway as I feel running him with Sabine is a far greater tool.

LOL. How long were you guys waiting for the GUNBOAT? I think I saw the thread go back to like 2013 or 2014.

How are they gonna do Biggs like that? I'm lol'ing

But I'm happy the meta has been rocked a month before Regionals. Gives everyone some hope.
