Maul crew

By K13R4N, in X-Wing Rules Questions

So I feel like I’m missing something what does it mean by “ignore this restriction if your squad contains Ezra Bridger”

What is confusing me is it’s a Scum only card and Ezra is a Rebel Only card so how would this work? Are they gunna release a Scum Ezra? A rebel Maul?

And what is the restriction it refers to?

It means you can include Maul in a Rebel squad as long as you have Ezra Bridger in the squad. Otherwise, he's Scum only. And it's the " Scum only " restriction that you would ignore.

Ahhh that makes sense. thanks for that!

so if i use ezra as a pilot instead of ezra crew, can i use Maul too?

Yes. If Ezra is anywhere in the squad, crew or pilot, Maul can be anywhere in the squad too.

It's a card restriction based on a cinematic reference to SW Rebels...

an interesting way to implement crew

So, are we all agreeing that the current wording of Maul is breaking Epic and should beerrated to being No-Epic asap?
I predict this future;

2019 Errata: Maul is Small and Large ship only.
2021 Errata: The Ezra Bridger Exeption works only for the faction restriction.









2021 Errata comes alongside the imperial version of ezra...

lol, like Epic is broken by this .

Epic is borked to **** and gone already, if they weren't going to errata Zuckuss, they're not goign to errata Maul.

It's not like Maul in Epic is *that* much better than crew-Dengar...

Actually, he is. We have an epic league going and one of the things you quickly realize is that you need a lot of generic fighters if you want to output enough damage. That means only one dice to reroll for Dengar.

Maul on a CR-90, however, can fully reroll every attack that the ship does (unlike the 1 attack of the C-Roc). Add Esege for the focus, and you have a ship dealing 4 / 5 dice attacks with reroll and focus at range 3-5 (add an extra dice if you have Finn). That can hurt, a whole lot.
