Took this to 5-2 at the Muncie regional 2/16. Here's a quick break down.

RD1: Vader3/Greedo. He started off with a fist round 1 but I pulled off a 20 damage round 3 to win with 2 health left. W 1-0

RD2: Yoda/Leia. Played a guy I trained with in Ohio. Horrible match up. He got EMP out round 1 and used it to take all my resources. Always worried if I need to be aggressive to avoid a retreat or passive to try to avoid big mitigation. Finally got things going in the last round managed to kill Leia and do 11 to yoda but he force illusioned 5 and I came up just short. L 1-1

RD3: Snoke/Tarkin. Things were going alright until round 3. Then I pulled 4 mods and a pinned down. He had too many dice out to stop. L 1-2

RD4: Beckett/Talzin/Profitable. Played the other guy I trained with. This one was kind of a slug fest and I was able to outpace him. W 2-2

RD5: Snoke/Tarkin. Got off to a faster start this time and had the Shadow Caster decked out round 1. Had the answer to Force Wave every round and spread out the indirect. If I ran 2 copies of Caster I think he would've been able to flames it. W 3-2

RD6: Poe2/Han3 The mitigation suite absolutely crushed this matchup. Probably saved me 16 damage. Controlled Poe's dice to avoid vandalize/surgical strike. W 4-2

RD7: Poe2/Han3 Kind of the same story. Easy Pickings and garbage chute neutralized the threats and I finished up with a 11 damage round to close out. W 5-2

Had a great time but this was my third regional going 5-2 and not making the cut. Would really like FFG to figure out the structure better. Being tied for 4th in record and ending up in 12th because of things I can't control is pretty stupid. Think they should either add a round or have X-2s play to get in.

Congrats on the top 16 finish! I don't think I had a chance to talk to you and I know I didn't play you. Like the list! I'm leaning this way after rotation.

@David Cole thanks man. Think I was on the other side of the room most the day. After rotation it seems like an early favorite. Good luck on the finals whenever they happen

I know that feeling, I went 5-2 in Maryland with my version of the Shadow Caster and didnt even crack the top 16.....

@GregtheBiz yeah it's not a great feeling. I lost early in this one so it made sense, but I went to Springfield Ohio and missed the cut at 5-2. I believe 3rd through 13th was 5-2. I hadn't lost until round 4 and I lost to 2 people who made the cut. I also beat another guy who made the cut during swiss. Shouldn't get punished for being paired down or having people drop. Still think they can come up with a better system. If anything I think it should be record of the people you lost to but would still prefer a win to get in scenario.
