Oh, I'm afraid the point values will be quite operational when your friends arrive.  FFG decided to give us the point values to everything in Second Edition, leaving our heads are spinning from the massive influx of information.  In order to make sense of it all, Dee explains what a baseline is, and why it's important when analyzing these new point values. Ryan then lets the community chime in on what their first impressions of those same costs are.

It's a full house today on the Mynock Podcast with guests Jaren Foss and Asa Graf coming on! Jaren basks in the glory of his ANZTC victory, Dallas discusses how scary the TIE Advanced might be, Ryan doesn't like Ruthless, and Dee introduces a new segment called "Optimizing Your Prototype." In this segment we break down the meta's top squads, and attempt to decipher whether or not they are the very best they can be.  This week we take a deep dive into 5X and Crack Dealers, created by the drug kingpin himself Asa.
