great to see you back. i've run a list with fenn, genesis (mangler), quinn (cluster missiles), and sunny bounder (light), and had some success. It's a fun list to fly.
That does sound like fun. I am toying around with a Fenn/Nym/TLT Y-Wing currently. Had Genesis in but I think I can swap him out and get Fenn in there with some creative upgrade management. Genesis is fun but in tournaments he tends to die first. Fenn might be the same way though...
Fenn's definitely a target, which helps the list because the sycks pack more punch than expected. In one match, I lost Fenn relatively early (bad dice) but still took out my opponent's 3 t-70's with the sycks.
Pat, nice to see you back. Thanks for taking the time given how busy you've become. Hope to see more soon. Agree that unless you play epic, there is not enough here to justify the purchase, particularly for casual play. Great review.
I love your channel so much dude. Real life has caught up with me too and I have not had the time to play x-wing as much, to buy the ships that are on my list, or upload my youtube channel as frequently. I enjoyed this review and I am watching the tie aggressor video right after this one.

Biggest highlights so far are Quinn Jast doing 16 damage with 4 missiles in one game, Palob 'soloing' a full-health Ryad, and then the crowning jewel... Sunny Bounder rolling 3 dice into RAC at range 1, after dropping RAC to PS 0 with Torkil, all 3 coming up hits to add a 4th, finishing off RAC.
Good to have you back Pat. Great review. I totally agree with you on FFG's stinginess, especially if you are putting down over $60 for a ship. Can't wait for the Auzituck review. I've been flying 3 Wookiee Liberators with tactician, kanan, kyle katarn, nien nunb, and ptl. Super fun. Taking to a SC on the 19th.
I flew Scum against two lists with Auzitucks last week in a tournament and I have to say I really, really hate (to fly against) those dang wookiees. I won both games, but the Auzitucks were the last ship on the table in both matches and they took way too long to destroy.
The Cardboard Dungeon that reinforce is pretty good. Early in matches I only spend focus on defense. Once I stress my opponent's squad so they don't have modifications then I spend on offense. Again reinforce is stronger than most people think.
Glad to see another X Wing review from The Cardboard Dungeon! I know you mentioned you would slow down on those reviews and only do a review on ships you get now. Hoping to see an Aggressor review from you soon!
You know, in the grand scheme of things it's a fairly minor complaint but I think it's going to get more and more bothersome if they keep adding errata to existing cards. I already run into people at tournaments who are playing lists with cards that have been changed and they're not aware of it, which is kind of a bummer, especially when someone's list doesn't work the way they thought and now they're stuck in an event and can't change anything. I know that the FAQ is readily available and should be standard material for X-Wing players but there are a lot of casual players out there who don't look at that stuff. Getting updated cards into their hands would be great.
No, sorry. No huge ship reviews for the time being. I have a backlog of ships from the last couple of waves to get done before I could even think about that.
Another insightful review I like the original paint. this brown has a bit too much yellow in it. but the stripes & contrast are nice. The ship that doesn't look like star wars is the Protectorate it looks like buck rogers with a hint of a jedi starfighter but still looks cool. that one needed a darker paint scheme imho (the ghost is the most uninventive ship design in SW ever lol) FFG should have given the heavy Syck increased hull in the first place. can't believe the playtest didn't figure that out. I emailed them once and they said yes if/when they re-print anything they include the updated card(s). Not sure how many M3-A's they'll reproduce Light Syck is a bit of an odd upgrade its a fun illustration though. (I pronounce it Seek since it's a vicious Tatooine lizard that pronunciation has more bite to it) Someone did a spreadsheet of the 2017 worlds MSRP cost to build their squads to get the upgrade cards. the average was $200-230 each player. the C-ROC is a nice display piece and comes with Jabba however lol The Tantive IV exp pack should say "C-3PO world championship upgrade card expansion pack now with Rebel blockade Runner" ; MTFBWY Edited for spelling ;
What about the E-Wing? That ship looks so much like a Battlestar Galactica Viper that I expect Apollo and Starbucks to be pilots in a future expansion :)
As much as I'd like to do that, it's probably not going to happen. I try to keep my videos relatively short, mainly because writing, recording, photographing and editing even a 10 minute video like this one takes me anywhere from 4 to 6 hours. I have a hard time finding spare time to make the videos I want as it is, so attempting something like filming and editing a full match with commentary would be far too time-consuming. I highly recommend Team Covenant for their X-Wing gameplay videos. Their commentary is insightful and funny and they've got excellent graphical overlays to make following the games easy.
Here's some of the new Scyks in action. ua-cam.com/video/NbfVzxrsSmc/v-deo.html It's not a regional or anything, but tourney winning is tourney winning
Nice! That Scum list is mean. Talonbane, Fenn and Quinn with Proton Rockets, it was impressive how many times attacks with five dice were rolled there. I might have to give that a try.
Very happy to see this channel is back up. Great content. Hope to see more of you again.

Thanks!
About time you did more reviews!! I miss this!
Pat, nice to see you back. Thanks for taking the time given how busy you've become. Hope to see more soon. Agree that unless you play epic, there is not enough here to justify the purchase, particularly for casual play. Great review.
Thanks for the kind words!
So glad to see these videos back!

Good to see you back, man!
I'm so glad you're back! I've been waiting for your reviews on the new ships!
Glad to see your videos again! I run Quinn & Sunny alongside 2 HWKs and its just nasty :)
Link me the full list? I'm curious to see your build for something like that. I'm guessing TLTs on the HWKs?

Oh my gosh the cardboard dungeon is back, you haven't uploaded in so long, I'm so excited for more of your content.
As a TIE Bomber fan, I'm excited about this ship. Definitely snagging one.
Glad to see another X Wing review from The Cardboard Dungeon! I know you mentioned you would slow down on those reviews and only do a review on ships you get now. Hoping to see an Aggressor review from you soon!
TIE Aggressor video is next on my list :)
Star Wars colors run deep.. :D
Glad you're back!
No release is official until The Cardboard Dungeon has featured it. Cheers!
You're too kind!
So glad to see you upload another video, I love your content!
happy to see you back man!
Yay! New video! I was looking forward to another one!
Good to have you back man
Thanks!
I play Carnor Jax, and Soontir Fel on tie intercepters and double edge on a tie aggressor.
Sounds like a fun list!
I agree with you on the stinginess RE the heavy scyck card.
You know, in the grand scheme of things it's a fairly minor complaint but I think it's going to get more and more bothersome if they keep adding errata to existing cards. I already run into people at tournaments who are playing lists with cards that have been changed and they're not aware of it, which is kind of a bummer, especially when someone's list doesn't work the way they thought and now they're stuck in an event and can't change anything.

Keep up the good work! I recently subbed and would love a review of the Imperial Raider.
Thank you!
Are you also planning a review of the C ROC? Your reviews are terrific
No, sorry. No huge ship reviews for the time being. I have a backlog of ships from the last couple of waves to get done before I could even think about that.
You're ALIVE!!!!!!
Hi Pat! Good to see you!
Ahem, HEAR you.
Thanks!

Someone actually made X-wing minis Vipers and Cylon Raiders on BGG!
Yeah a new video! Could you review the wave 11 ships and wave 10 ships please!
I will do what I can!
The Cardboard Dungeon Great, didn't mean to pressure you, just really enjoy your vids!
Still no c-roc?
wow been awhile since a video was up
Can you upload you playing some games
