Miranda, Low, Ezra

By Tbetts94, in X-Wing Squad Lists

@Crimsonwarlock and I knew this was the natural profession for the 3 ship Miranda builds when the new wave hit. He practiced it, but I moved towards Han/Poe since I didn’t have any tournaments coming up for myself and he decided to practice Poe/Miranda eventually instead. Now I get to actually play in a tournament for CAC and I really want to do well and make the most of it.

I like Haigewood’s version much more over Zach Matthew’s version of the list. Haigewood’s version is also very close to the original version @Crimsonwarlock and I made. Only change I’m doing to Haigewood’s list is put Draw Their Fire in instead of Selflessness. Dallas Parker just went undefeated in Swiss here in SoCal, so I expect our meta to increase in RAC and also helps versus Crits from Guidance Chimps.

My main point of this post is to find video links of good play of the archetype, discuss strategies of the list, and tactics versus other meta lists.

Selflessness vs DTF is dependent on what your flying against. There are situations when each will work. The one time that I've played Will with this list, he kept Low near Ezra and selflessness was basically something to keep him on the board. I was flying an Alpha strike list at the time, and selflessness can definitely help deter that.

Top8 match from our regionals in Mountain View, CA. Miranda/Low/Ezra was first through swiss.

Honestly, I'd rather have Gunner on Ezra than Harpoons on Miranda. However I can see the appeal. Overall, it looks great!

The way I see it is Miranda is worth more and have another win condition available.

Harpoons is a big part of the list, otherwise people would have no problem straight jousting it. But a 5 dice harpoon makes them have to rethink that idea

This was exactly my thought in including the harpoon.

Thanks! Just finished watching it! Do you happen to know if he played against the Trip Defenders or the Ghost in Top 4? List juggler doesn’t have the matchup data in.

He played Drew Bishop with Ghost/Fenn in top4. Im not sure how close it was as I was recording the other game. Only saw the end of the match and it was ezra vs Ghost with lots of hp left.

Thanks! Was Swiss recorded at all? All I see on your channel is Top 8.

No, I was an idiot and brought all my recording equipment on Day 1, but forgot my laptop at home!
