Hi guys! I was eager to try out the new 2.0 but I didn't go to gencon, so it had to be with the TTS. I tried a Guri/IG-88A/L3-37 list for all those token sharing shenanigans. I played vs a Fat Dash and an ICT Y-WIng.

(My list was wrong because I forgot to include the IG-2000 title and rewriting the list was going to take long so I decided not to use the Rigged Cargo Chute and go to 197p).

I gave him the initiative so Guri could arc dodge Dash, deployed on my right and went slow first turn.

As Dash was coming fast I decided to turn left and face him. I tried to block Dash with the IG-88 but he didn't turn in and went straight.

Dash focused, Guri TLd and received a calculate token from L3-37. Dash's attack was hot and Guri had to spend the calculate. She still suffered one damage.

Dash didn't use his focus so he used Bistan's ability to attack the IG, doing 2 damage. My greens were pretty bad hehe. Guri then attacked Dash and got 3 hits thanks to FCS, but Dash rolled 3 natties...

I didn't take anymore pics but the game was fun. Dash pounded on the IG hard and took him down. Luckily for me, Guri was doing a lot of damage on Dash with enough green tokens to spare for defense and the same turn the IG-88 went down, Guri got Dash. The Y-Wing was heavily damaged as well, so we called it here.

I really liked the 2.0 experience, but I feel I got a lot of upgrades I didn't use! I might tweak the list a bit... maybe drop daredevil (I didn't use it at all) for debris gambit on Guri to make her even less appealing for the opponent? Predator on the IG being primary only doesn't cut it for me as well...

Any sugestions?

Get elusive on the Brobot I think, make it much tougher. I'd also look to trade the cannons out for proton bombs - looks like you had a blast though!

Hi! I tried elusive, and I could obly use it once. I tried debris gambit on guri and necer used it... after 3 or 4 more games tweaking the list I think I have arrived somewhere...

IG-88A, Title 72p

Guri, Outmaneuver, Advanced Sensors, Afterburners, Virago 94p

L3-37 (Escape craft) IG-88D crew

192p

So far I’ve beaten Rexler/Sai/ProtonNu, Boba/Guri, and a 6 Tie Swarm. I lost against Boba Guri rematch when I flew off the board after doing an AS curvy Barrel Roll to try to avoid both arcs... I forgot the new BR rules about putting the template in the middle...

I also took the cannons off the IG as I didn’t land a single ion in 4-5 games! Not as scary as 1.0 Ion cannons. Many times I only got 1 hit, so no Ion token...

I’m really enjoying the token sharing shenanigans, and Guri is a beast! I haven’t faced any I6s yet, so I can’t say, but it probably won’t be easy..

Nice! You think the title and a bid that high is worth more than getting 10-12 points more onto the IG? Collision detector seems like it'd be useful, you can combine it with trick shot to fly up behind a debris on first engage and give yourself a nice defensive buff, then just fly right over it (or 1 forward onto it to keep the def buff for round 2).

Depends on how quickly your IG is going down I guess, but everything is riding on Guri right now. (Not necessarily bad if you fly her well enough!)

I think Guri needs to move last everytime to be able to get the most out of her. My original list had about 11 more points on the IG, (ion cannon, tractor beam, Elusive/predator...) but I wasn’t happy with it’s performance. In fact, in 3-4 games I was never able to Ion anybody, and only tractor a Nu once onto a rock. Being able to add the R3 bonus on the cannons makes them a lot worse than first edition.

I practice a lot against my cousin, and he likes to have huge initiative bids, so I might be conditioning myself a bit there... when 2.0 finally drops, We’ll be able to see how people do their lists, and maybe I can use some bid points for more upgrades on the IG.

it’s true that this list is a bit of “all the eggs in ine basket”, as Guri has to do all the hard work, but I feel confortable playing it. I used to play a 48-54p Corran Horn where the other 2 ships were “working” for him and he had to do all the hard work...

If my opponent goes after Guri they’ll have a hard time getting her on arc (unless I6) and even if they do, she’ll probably have a focus and a few calculate tokens...

virago is mostly for the extra shield, but I’ve used the red boost a few times while trying to re engage... It’s like blocking at I0!

What program are you using to play 2.0?
