(No not THAT Joseph!)
Welcome to Episode 71! In this episode, General Josef discusses his list that he took to PAX Unplugged (Lumi, GG, Ahsoka, and Mando), and talks about how his off-meta assemblage performed and his assessment of the various matchups. We get into the weeds with respect to list construction and how we think this list fares into the wider meta. It's a great conversation.
I close with a reading of my favorite Christmas carol, but that is at the end so never fear I won't entrap you! Feel free to sign off once the conversation with General Josef is over. Enjoy your Christmas and Hanukkah week, be safe, and thank you for being a part of our community. We love you all!

Welcome to Episode 70! In this episode, Kenny and Dyz break down the Mando list. This is the first of a series of pseudo LVO-prep episodes where we discuss list construction, piloting, and strategy with an eye towards preparing to fight with or against this list. You will enjoy Dyz's scorching hot takes here.

Dang straight it happened in Monterey!
In this episode, Scott and Kenny gather to summarize a wonderful small tournament they attended in Monterey, California, in the basement of Ulysses (an excellent and well-known player in the MCP and SP scene).
Their discussion glances over the tournament, but is mostly focused on Mandos, the Batch, and some recent thoughts on matchups resulting from their recent games.

Kind of. Mostly we just love you all and Thanksgiving.
In this episode, Sammy Kay and Kenny discuss the current meta (briefly, I promise it's brief) and then transition to talking about why Shatterpoint is their number one game. This conversation was inspired by a post on the Slack from Ace, and it led to a really good chat there and here.
We hope everyone has a safe and glorious Thanksgiving if you're in the states, and if you're outside the states, we hope you eat a sumptuous meal on Thursday in honor of your multitudinous blessings.
We love you all!

It's short, but sweet. In this episode, Sammy Kay and Kenny discuss the Bo update and, specifically, how they think the all Mando list now works. What does Bo and CK add to the Mando + Armorer Box package? Does it take it to the next level? What should you be thinking about when playing this list? How does it match up into the opposition?
All this and more in this episode!

T.S. Eliot I aint.
In this episode, Scott and Kenny discuss the ZiFi Invi. Scott went 5-0 on the day running Iden-Moff and Kanan-Hera. We discuss matchups, how lists felt into each other, and then close with (preliminary) thoughts on the new stuff that has released over the past few weeks.
Check out the results from the Battle for the Breath, a 22-person tournament in Ontario, Canada, which was won by Kyle Russell running MANDOS!!!! and Obi-1 Mace!
Also check out the results from Rise from the Ashes, the last GT of the 2024 year which happened in Queensland, Australia and was won by Jason Brown running all Empire (Iden, Moff, V2, Thrawn).

Welcome to Episode 65! Matt headlined this episode, wanting to talk about how to help potential players to know (1) if they would like Shatterpoint and (2) how to approach buying for Shatterpoint.
While this is mostly for new players, I think everyone would enjoy this episode and we would really love feedback with respect to our buyer's guide as we discuss the factions.

JK's title, not mine. How I wish I could take credit for it.
Do you want to run Ewoks? And by Ewoks, we mean the best two Ewoks, which are Leia FF and Logray? Well, look no further, because Dean has been absolutely crushing into all non-Iden Empire lists with this incredible concatenation. In this episode, Dean breaks down his list, why it works, how it plays, what to look for and watch out for, and its matchups. He has incredible insights from an off-meta perspective as to where Ewoks are at, why this list works like it does, and additional thoughts on the Ewoks as a sub-faction.
Enjoy it. Take the last spot available for the ZiFi Invi.

Welcome to Episode 63! In this episode, Kenny and Sam are joined (again) by Sean Peconi and Kyle Russell to talk about the Canadian GT, as well as the two other GTs that happened this weekend. There is a major discussion as to the diversity of units at these events and generally, as well as tournament formats and everyone's thoughts. It's a great discussion. We love being joined by our friends to the north.
Check out tablebound.ca, which is Kyle Russell's absolutely phenomenal site for purchasing swag, including amazing playmats, sleeves, and more!
Take the last spot for ZiFi!!! One left!!!
Here is the link for the three-mier event happening in VA on October 19.

You're welcome! Some wholesome goodness for Sam's awesome win at the CSWGO Grand Tournament in Ontario, Canada. The Canadians put on an awesome tournament and Sam took a trip across the border to go 6-0 and bring the tournament home.
This episode is (almost) all about Spectre, and specifically why Hera is so strong in that list. Sam has the reps and the results and walks through his logic on why she is so consistently strong. Enjoy his regaling of the event!
John Cole put me wise to some upcoming tournaments. First, there is a store champ coming up for those in the East Coast region--the Battlegrounds Store Champ in Virginia.
Second, the YHP Three-Mier Tournament is happening on October 19--ZiFi Day! But if you're in the VA area and don't want to fly out to Utah, I suppose this is an adequate substitute.
Third, check out the Red Mandos Draft tournament. As seems to be the case with the Red Mandos generally, something is cooking here.

First off, rest in peace James Earl Jones. That good man with the greatest voice has gone home. We added as appropriate of a tribute as we could on short notice. That is why the format for the episode is slightly beatified, as we included some of the iconic moments of Darth Vader from the original trilogy in tribute to the master.
Second off, JK had an awesome idea to do box reviews, but with a twist. We looked at each of the upcoming boxes with the specific question of: where will this fit? Will it hit with a splash, a ripple, or an ignominious belly flop that somehow goes not with a bang but with a whimper and slinks to the bottom of the pool and someone should probably send in a lifeguard. Are we wrong? Most undoubtedly. Listen and come tell us why.
Go listen to Episodes 1 and 2 of the Clan of Two. Those guys are awesome and we are thrilled to have them joining the field.
Here is the Longshanks link for the Grand Tournament happening in Montreal at the end of October. It's in Montreal! That alone is reason to go! If you are in eastern Canada or the northeastern United States you should put this on your calendar. It will be glorious.
The ZiFi Invi. has one spot left, and the swag will be legendary.

Why, you ask? Because this outing also ends in an episode of patricide?!?!?! Why don't you listen and find out!
In this episode, Kenny is joined by Ryan Munsell and his son Donovan to discuss their stellar performance at the Evergreen Open. They made it to the cut running Spectre/Batch (Ryan) and Dooku Mando/Empire (Donovan). Ryan has some excellent excellent excellent thoughts on Spectre and its matchups. Enjoy! (Here's a link to Dylan's commentary of the final with the winner, Geoff.)

** UPDATE - If you downloaded this Sunday night or Monday morning redownload it. We were missing 30 seconds of Sam’s audio but that has been fixed. **
I drafted a long description for this episode twice. Spotify ate it. Twice. This episode is Sammy Kaye and Kenny discussing the meta like try-hards. Enjoy it.

Welcome to Episode 58! In this episode, Kenny is joined by Dan (RedWolf) and Abi (ElabranGal) to get their insights and input on running events. They break down pre-event, event, and post-event things to think about and manage. For players looking to organize local events, this is a great resource.
Make sure to check out the shoutouts for all the GTs that are happening in the next few months.
Here is a link to Abi's rules packet that she provided to players at the Salt Lake Open. It is a phenomenal example of what to provide to your players.

In this episode, Kenny and Scott discuss their first and second place finishes at the Salt Lake Open. They discuss the meta of the tournament, their swiss matchups (it was a straight swiss event with five rounds), and their thoughts on the power levels and points of observation from the tournament.
Kenny was able to win with Kanan/Sabine/Chopper, P. Leia/Kallus/Rangers, Dooku Box, Grievous Box. Scott lost in the final round and his list was Iden Box, Moff Box, Dooku Box, and Vader/Obi-2/Bar-2.

This is the Salt Lake Open prep episode! The SLO post-op will be releasing tomorrow. In this episode, Kenny and Matt talk through their preparations for the SLO, with Sam serving as Adam Smith's impartial spectator to opine on improvements and things for them to think about.
This episode was recorded the Thursday before SLO, which has since transpired, and so they benefit from a lack of knowledge concerning subsequent events. It makes for a fun conversation.
Thank you to everyone who came to the SLO!!! It was a blast of an event and we love you all!

Phil Hastings took second at the Lone Star Open. He lost to Aman from Hello There in the final after going 4-0 in swiss and winning his Top 4 matchup. His premier list is, by far, the most creative approach to the current meta (to also do well) and I love that he did as well as he did at a very competitive event. You will love this episode.
GOOD LUCK TO EVERYONE COMING TO SALT LAKE FOR THE SLO! The event is full up at 32 players and it promises to be so much fun. We cannot wait for the event and know that it will be a blast for all involved. Many thanks to Abi for TO'ing what promises to be an absolutely incredible tournament.
Join the Slack! We have so much fun discussing lists, the meta, tournaments, and why JK is such a jerk!

Kanan Jarrus is one of the best primaries in terms of his kit in a hot minute, and he's worth building Rebel teams around. In this episode, Sam and Kenny talk about Kanan, his strengths (many) his weaknesses (few), and different playstyles and listbuilding ideas to use as you're diving into Rebels.
The ZiFi Invi. Fall 2024 is scheduled for October 19, 2024! Register on Longshanks. It will be four or five rounds of Swiss and is capped at 24 players. We will have great swag and an amazing time. If you're coming from out-of-town, let us know so we can figure out where you will stay!Good luck to everyone at the Lone Star Open! Register for the NA TTS League! It will be a great way to get consistent games in with a friendly and supportive community.If you are in the Minnesota area, you should absolutely go play at Dion Erbes' tournament at the Gamezenter.

I'm not sure where you fit in here ... unless you are Sean Peconi or Kyle Russell! Sean and Kyle took first and second place at the Tablebound Open, the largest Canadian event to date (capped at twenty-four players with twenty-two in Swiss). They give an overview of the tournament, talk about Kyle's amazing website Tablebound--which is an incredible gaming resource for Canadians--and then we all hash and rehash why Empire feels so good right now.
Also, Kyle took second at this event with Hondo. So, guess what, he's good.
