Is Finn still a Big Deal?

This is just incorrect thinking. The pilot card should cost what it should cost. If synergy with other cards or the raw power of the pilot's ability means that cost is significantly more than its comrades piloting the same ship, so be it.

In a very real way, Finn is similar to Lulo and Ric in that he's cheating by not even flying the same ship as the other Pod pilots. Because of his ability, Finn's a lot closer to a 3-attack, 3-agility ship than he wants us all to think. Being noticeably more expensive than the others because of that is entirely fair (see what happened to Lulo, and what is almost guaranteed to happen to Ric in January).

It is not Raw power but simply an ability-upgrade match that makes Finn so OP. It is not incorrect thinking as much as it is thinking the whole thing through. Come to think of it, I am talking about a ship from The Last Jedi so yeah I guess any type of thinking is incorrect in regards to that matter.

Still I stated the 3 possible corrections to the problem, always resorting to just raising the points on the pilot is the lazy approach and that is never good for the meta.

whether it should be done always or rarely is irrelevant here - all Finn needed was a points increase. Funnily enough the change made heroic more important, not less. Before it was a rarely used safety backup, now it's an actual feature of a strained Finn.

I want to take this sad miserable moment for myself.

I had a focus.
