You may fire up your earbuds when ready! This week we review all of the system open results (yes even ones pre-FAQ) and talk about what lists are relevant to the current meta. Still trying to figure out a world's squad? Let this episode help guide you through the murky waters of what lists could be "good" or "viable" for worlds!

This week we have a super special guest! The best TO and X-Wing Judge in the country (as deemed by us) Iain Hamp! He's going to discuss a side of the game most players rarely think much about, and what it's like from the other side. This is some insight you won't want to miss!

This week we dive deep into the huge announcement of Wave XI. The Mynocks discuss the merits of sap in space travel, how terrifying the Empire will be with 4 Twin Laser Turrets, and whether you'll choose your Captain Nym flavor in Rebel or Scum. Also, the return of the SHIP RETROSPECTIVE, upgrade card highlights, and tips for everyone!

The new meta is almost upon us as Fantasy Flight Games recently dropped a new FAQ on us. Squads that were once at the top of the food chain now find themselves scrambling against potential new Alpha (strike?) builds. The Mynocks discuss the big 4 of the changes and how the meta will shift and adapt because of it. Also there's a pretty...Scyk preview as well.

[Note: We recorded this just before the FAQ Bombshell, we'll talk all about that next week] Last year Europe proved to have a much different meta than the rest of the world, with Triple Jumpmasters dominating almost all the lists. What's changed? The Mynocks bring in Jelt de Boer, Charlie Ter Horst, and Faan Langelaan from Amsterdam Squadron to discuss what's happening across the pond.

With Ryan and Texx off seeking glory Dee has been left in the Exogorth all by himself. Luckily a few strays seem to have wandered in and attempt to guide him through some semblance of conversation. Paratani, the 9 Dice Meta, and the fuel behind competitive drive are all topics for discussion this week! Fly Better!
Ryan, Dee, and Dallas hit Kashyyyk System Open to heartbreaking results. But we got to see a solid overview of the unsettled Wave 10 meta. There is still clearly room for older standbys as well as undiscovered country. However, Paratanni (Manaroo, Asajj Ventress, and Fenn Rau) ruled the day!
Happy Valentines Day fellow Pilots! Today we're here for you, and what a better way to spend the most romantic day of the year than to listen to Dee for two hours talk about his rocks! Worlds Top 16 Joe Desmond and Mynock Czar Lester Santos also join us for an in depth look at the deeper levels of strategy for how to use obstacles to your advantage!
FLY BETTER!
In today's episode, we discuss the State of the Game and try to talk Dee down from his wariness of the current Hyper Turbo X-Wing Championship Edition meta-balance. At the time of recording, he wasn't even aware of Range 1 SEVEN dice attacks with Kylo Ren Swarm Leader. Is X-Wing Miniatures spiraling out of control, or is the dumb Dee-ragon succumbing to Chicken Little syndrome?
