It's been four months since Second Edition launched and the Mynocks are taking a look at where the game has settled. With a cargo hold full of data (some stolen from the Krayts), the group goes faction by faction to discuss what has been working so far.  Why are the rebels struggling? Are only two ships in the Empire that good? Should the cost of Fenn Rau go up? All these questions are answered and more in this week's episode.

It's been a very busy month in X-Wing. So busy in fact that we haven't had a chance to discuss the two new factions on the horizon, the Resistance and First Order.  With guest host Stephen Kim visiting again, Dee and Ryan look at what tools the fresh factions have to compete in both the Hyperspace and Extended formats.

Today we bring on Pax Unplugged System Open player Cam Murray to talk about his run to the Top 4.  He discusses Double-Tap Dash, which is the new rebel list sweeping the meta.  Is it as bad as Dengaroo? Does it take skill to fly? How do you beat it? Cam goes in depth with the squad.  The group then looks at the Top 16 squads for any outliers. Spoiler alert: B-Wings are back baby!

Greetings from the Maw! Today we bring in some long range communications from our favorite guest hosts, the Foss Twins! Travis is the new Australian National Champion, and his brother Jaren got 18th only playing 5 out of 6 games!  The twins helps us break down the Aussie top cut and shed some light on lists both familiar, and strange.  That's not the only tournament we're talking about though! The Polish System Open, French Nationals, and Mexican Nationals also get analysis with the little bit of data we currently have.

This week Ryan brings on Stephen Kim and Dee is surprised to discover that Stephen is his arch foe, Raithos, the creator of Yet Another Squad Builder 2.0.  Despite the unexpected betrayal of trust from Ryan, the group manages to talk about what the future might hold for the squadbuilder as well as potentially coming to a truce in the great YASB Wars.  Following the dramatic resolution, the TIE/fos are broken down as everyone eagerly awaits the release of Wave II.

You'll get a real episode next week I promise! Until then, here are some Thank Yous from Mynock Open weekend.

With less than a week to go until the Mynock Open, the very tired duo of Dee Yun and Ryan Farmer bring on guest Chris Allen to help save the show with content. This week it's mostly Mynock Open talk, strange rules interactions, OP prize support structure, and favorite/least favorite cards. No timestamps, enjoy the ride.

Fly Better! See you in two weeks.

This episode we are very happy to bring on the hosts of Cloud City Radio! Mandalor"Ian" Wardle and Lee Williams join us in breaking down the United Kingdom Team Championship results. That discussion then leads to Spanish Nationals as well as the Crossroads Classic.  Is the rebel faction really hurting as much as these tournament results show?
