Gah, screen shot is apparently to big for the forum. Data from Regionals has Brunson in 40% of all Imperial lists and 61% of those in the top bracket. Pryce is in only 17% of Imperial lists, but spikes to 35% in the top bracket. Toryn is at 24% of Reb lists and essentially flat at 28% in the top bracket. Ergo, Pryce and Brunson both appear to give a significantly better competitive advantage than Toryn.

Out of curiosity, what happens if you control for Reb lists with at least a medium fighter wing? I'd say Toryn is just as good as Pryce/Brunson IF you take a lot of squads.

Edit: On topic: MC30 double side arcs are scary vs SSDs in my proxy games. They also seem to want to engineer a lot, so I think their utility as squad pushers will be a bit limited without Thrawn/Piett so they can engineer as needed as well.

Umm...Brunson blows Toryn out of the water, and Pryce does better at the top bracket.

Well, I disagree that Brunson is as significant factor in the success of those lists as toryn is in her lists. But pryce is definitely a game changer I will give you that.

Does that really matter? Squad heavy performance for Rebs is flat as well. If Toryn is so good with those lists, she's only keeping them afloat, not boosting them to a higher level.

Anything that's normally too slow will see a resurgence just because it's to easy to get to. So massed B-WINGS, VIC I, Pelta Command, maybe even dual pelta command.
