Pretty much everything that's been mentioned are things I have to think about when I play in tournaments and Saturdays.  LE Quad and GAS were big, and Kordakopia has seen some play as well.  Someone once tried HH, but against a belcher band they went down fast.  Now we are dealing with stuff like Githyanki Dragon Knight with Vlaakith on the Grotto map.  My flying Kord band made some mistakes bad mistakes and he played very well, but it's still annoying.  Also double Marilith has done ok.  Last time I played, three of the warbands had immune to fire pieces, and I ran a dragonmark hier, so belchers are pretty much dead, which stinks because they were my favorite.  Oh well.Â

But CG is my first love, so I'm excited by the new pieces and all the possiblities.  I've been thinking of a Bralani/Dromite Wilder band and would like to see how it does, especaily on the Ice Rift map!  Probably use the Inpiring marshall for the commander.  Problems against that double Marilith band though.

The meta is currently so balanced right now. I don't think in 200 pt play one band could always run the table. I have won my last 8 200 pt constucted and I do it by playing with alot of auto damage and great piloting. We can talk all day about how awesome some warbands are but when not in the hands of a great player then the warband will fall. I know the shadow dancer thing is just awesome to some people now but the thing of it is the warband is a hit or miss in a newbie or an unknowlegable vetern. I don't believe in the meta for 200 but rather than being outplayed and knowing your area. At a qualifier you have to take only 2 things in consideration. What is winning, b\c that is what people will be playing and what the counter to the new winning warband, b\c a small amount of them will show up. After knowing that, you can 7 out of 10 times find a warband who does well against both types of warbands. Then practice and play test and practice and playtest that warband, know the outs and know your game plan. PRactice and knowing the warband will be what wins the tourney and gets you out of unavoidable situations. In fact the only meta there is, is 500 pt. Not too many things can beat bahamut nor tordek. Just for thought.
