Hey everyone,

I'm hosting a X-Wing beginner tournament with a grand total of 14 players. I need to have preset, understandable and moderately balanced lists for that, and an additional catch: all of it must come from my collection. I want to field two players per faction at least, which covers 10 players (I have everything except Scum and Seperatists), which leaves four additional players that can come out of any faction. Cards don't matter at all, I will print out all lists in YASB. So, if you want to take part in the challenge, please provide me with list ideas Here's the list of available ships:

4x Z95

Not as cinematic, but probably easier to fly: The Rebel Hammer (200).

Blade Squadron Vet: HLC, Selfless, Shield Upgrade

Blade Squadron Vet: ditto

Arvel Crynyd: intimidation, predator

Biggs: Hull Upgrade

Cuts to the heart of the Rebel identity of teamwork and defense. It's all Initiative 3 and chunky, with Arvel as a "just fly into things" change of pace.

For Empire: Enforcers Over Lothal (196)

Delta Squadron Pilot

Delta Squadron Pilot

Grand Inquisitor: collision detector

Simplicity itself. Defenders 4k a lot, get free evades, and focus. The main virtuosity in the list comes from how one handles Grand Inqi, and we've given him Collision Detector to make that more forgiving.

For Resistance, it seems simple enough to do Jes and three Red Experts with Heroic. I almost fret that it's too good for this format! It's a demonstrated Good Squad and might just overpower people.
