I ran a rebel list that had pierce 19, with 6 commando snipers, 4 fleets scatters, chewie, Han and IG-11 in it yesterday and it was actually not bad. I'm a GAR player so I just put a list together that I'd personally hate to play against and it did really well. Not saying it can shake the meta up or anything but it at least had legs. Also... IG-11 is kinda good in the new version he definitely surprised me.
Just played last night a Rebel 12 activations list with Bad Batch, Din, various troopers , 2 laser AT-Rt against a Asaj, Dooku, 3 Magna, B2 on Bunker Assault, that was rough!
Tim McKinght went 5-0 at Tacticon with a 10act rebel list, Jyn, Han, Sabine and double at-rt with rotaries, 2 big rebel troopers with mpl's. I think rebels are going to be playable, just will be way different then any other faction
Op Luke should get 6 red pierce 2 or 3. Would make him super fun to play. He needs the 6 dice bc of his price point compared to Anakin. Give him the Skywalker dice pool lol Also where is Commander Ben Kenobi? His 3 pip could be a fun way to give surges to ewoks and rebel troopers and you could give Ben 3 new command cards. It'd be awesome. I'd pre-order Alec Kenobi the day it's announced lol. I really wanna see rebel lists that are just all Rebel Jedi like Ben Luke Kestis Ezra and Kanan (kinda Chirrut) at this point lol Also I agree rebels need more clones. It'd be cool if we could have Wolffe, Gregor, Howzer, and Rex as like unit leaders that we can drop into rebel corps and maybe sleeper cell (fingers crossed there lol) for like tactical or agile or steady or something. Be super cool. Old man Rex leading a mega corps of courage 2 fleets and having them charge or steady into something sounds amazing.
And...if you want to fix Luke, give us the Luke we see in The Rescue. All the deflect, force push, and let's call it...force crush, since I suppose he didn't choke that Dark Trooper. How many fans literally cried when that Luke appeared? THIS is the Luke I want. Wiping how many units of Dark Troopers in less than five minutes? ALL of them. Anyway, thanks for the good discussion, as always. You raise some good points and I hope the phase II upgrades or changes or whatever correct some of these obvious flaws in the game.
I pmayed my first game vs clones on shifting priorities vs anakin kenobi clo es, LukeHanChewie, ig88, Luke and IG88 took out anakin with Hans change of plans negative to anakin play. I won as ig88 blast on death was brutal.
I have had some luck using flamer RTs, Din and Boba with their one shot flamers. In fact the last two games were close the pocket and bunker assault. I won Close the Pocket vs Empire and lost Bunker Assault vs CIS but only by 1 point. A dang b1 squad made 1 too many saves against a flamer shot and kept me from scoring the bunker in turn 4 o I couldn't blow it up turn 5. In both cases, my opponent spent more resources than they should have shooting Jyn Erso so maybe I got lucky. I think there's lots to work with.
Mike your a legend for running Whicket. 44:06 Y’all mentioned advantages don’t matter. Advanced Intel in our tournaments have shown a 69% win rate and it includes the mirror.
So...GAR player can't build a Rebel list without using clones...big surprise. Sad Trombone. (Just giving you a hard time.) Go on. Keep dissing Rebels. We'll just get scrappier and tougher and better at finding ways to get under your pretentious Republic skin.
It is kind of funny that the best rebel unit is a clone unit, and the GAR version is probably better. And the second best unit (AT-RT), the GAR version is probably better.

How? Not enough corp units
Your troopers can hang back and protect home objectives. Your cool stuff wins the game

Does anyone know where the tournament lists for the events they discussed are posted?

That specific one does matter; I believe we highlighted that in our last episode. It’s a crap shoot whether you get it or not though.
