The only thing I'm predicting is: In a world where dice are less reliable and can't stack mods; bring more dice.

Yeah I've been thinking the same thing. At most, I think support/ace + mini swarm will be the way to go.

Yep. I think the quick-build cards are the best indicator of what the game has in mind. From the quick build cards I've seen Luke, Wedge, and there was a 2 threat Y-wing give the 8 threat the rules recommended. Vader is a four and two named TIE/LN pilots were at 2 each for the 8 threat again. And both of those can be had with core set and both expansions or one for the faction. They won't be "great" lists but you won't automatically lose all your games before a maneuver gets selected at the Sunday tourney.
