I still swear by Starvipers. And Guri with Advanced Sensors and Elusive tends to be what I run the most. As for what else goes into the list... Well, that’s not nailed down.

With those upgrades, neither is Guri.

ketsu is way cheaper but asajj have two force tokens and stress giving ability. thoughts?

Hate Asajj is pretty good.

I flew this at a recent Hyperspace tournament.

Really good fun to fly and came 10th out of 14 (my dice truly hated me for most of the day)

Also 5-1. There are 4 Scum lists in the top 32, are they all Drea and the Loks?

Tried this one. Sad that this is the strongest scum squad at the moment, I didn't like it at all 🙄

I brought three naked Firesprays to our Hyperspace Trial yesterday and placed 12 out of 44, which is WAY better than I thought I would do.

Everyone was excellent but if I ever have to fly against U-wing+Leia, Wedge, +2 I will vomit blood.

This is what I think a big problem with early 2.0 is atm. You can go to a 6 round tournament and pretty much play 6 iterations of maybe 3 lists.

Man, if you think this is a 2.0 problem...

As a random example, here's a bunch of matchups from Denver from people who placed all over. None of these people played vs the same archetype more than once, most of them played 6 distinct archetypes in 6 rounds.

Well it looks like you are lucky to have a much bigger pool of players.

Anyone using the mining ties to any great effect? I've been tempted by them. I don't have any scum at the minute.

Seevor is great! Ahhav is situational, but with all these arcs showing up he should do fine. I like the concept of proach, but I haven't tried him yet.

I don't know if only MGT make for a good list. Maybe add Drea (Y-wing) and/or Serissu (Scyk) for increased punching and staying power.

I like to play 1-2 in my lists.

Yes, they’re a seasoning, not the main dish. Unlike Empire TIEs which can be either.

Seevor is clearly the stand out named pilot locally.

interesting squad. missiles on torani is pretty cool. this is like scum beef or scum jank? what does he call it? he went 5-1?

He went 5 and 1 then lost first round of the cut due to time. I dunno what he calls it, but cluster torani on the right targets is real mean. It procs her ability twice, So she's the real muscle in the list, but the others carry their weight too.

This list is real interesting. Torani is a beast, and the gunrunner is a great combo with the turret gunners.

Personally, I'm always looking at r5-p8 on my kimos so I'd look to drop that in on Torani here. That little droid is fantastic.

What's really throwing me for a loop is that nym has no bombs, and particularly no trajectory simulator! Paying 5pts to go from i2 to i5 on the scurrg isn't a bad deal though, and with those seismics sitting around as a threat his ability actually gains some use. How was the Y flown?

not sure how the list was flown but would be interested to hear about it.

on the surface this list has some intersting tricks. i like the addition of deadman's switch here. im wondering how effective that single seismic charge was. id be tempted to add squad leader to the Y-Wing and maybe drop the shield upgrade and seismic but the extra shield must have come in handy.

anyone seeing any starvipers winning tournaments?

That seismic is crucial as Nym controls a WIDE area with the bomb. Drop that thing around 3 close asteroids and its a large no fly zone.

Love the Torani and cluster missiles in this list. Props to that guy for flying this. Awesome to see creative list building and not flying meta.
