So while most everything about 2.0 is a positive change, there is one bitter pill to swallow. And it concerns these (1.0) cards.

-Dash Rendar (crew)

-Stay on Target

-Boba Fett (Crew)

-Boshek

-Targeting Scrambler

-Thrust Corrector

The design of these cards were the prizes for winning top level xwing events. These sort of cards are always the most exciting inclusions for me, and a worthwhile prize for an outstanding achievement. Now, these card designs no longer exist in 2.0.

It’s unfortunate to see them suddenly disappear. Especially the two that are being introduced in the final 1.0 expansion release, an expansion which has 1.0 and 2.0 versions of other cards in that same expansion.

I know Boba crew looks to be completely different in 2.0, but perhaps his 1.0 effect lands somewhere else? I think 1.0 Boba crew was one of the better designs and a fantastic “meta check” card. The others may be more niche designs, but with the capability of 2.0 to adjust point costs (and the capability to adjust wording/effect when they are initially introduced into 2.0), this seems like a great opportunity to pay homage to XWing’s past by pulling these designs into the present.

With that in mind, do we think we can expect to see these cards again, or do we think they will be stuck in 1.0 with no 2.0 iteration?

I agree. I also hope these cards make the jump. if not in name (since boba is already different), in spirit. The legacy of the champions who designed or influenced these should live on.

Are you still doing a card? A 2ndE card?

yeah, that'd be kinda cool for you. :-D

They could just get all the previous winners to design a new 2.0 card.

I am fairly sure they won't make it, I believe the developers said asuch in a video. Sorry for not having a source on that.

1.0 Boba Fett couldn't make the jump to 2.0 because they have modified the game so there is nothing that causes you to discard upgrades (only charges). That change required an update to the Boba Fett crew to accommodate it.

I think the rest of the upgrades could make the leap, so if they don't it will most likely be at the discretion of the game designers.

Also it was designed as a meta correction in a way to take out key upgrades that many dominating lists used. Thing is it doesn't work that well as a counter let alone an upgrade card.

Player design cards are an interesting topic to look into but mainly how they fit (more like didn't fit) into the meta. These were not ideas taken off the forum page but from the best x-wing players instead, and yet they are not the best designed upgrades.
