i dont really think the pieces that have come out in the last set played a large part in changing the meta that much.
my predictions outside these staples..

Durge / San Hill

Thrawn / Ozzel

Luke Leia Speeder / Dodonna

(yes all three activation control)

Blast Bugs

Talon / Boba / Embo

I think someone will bring:

Luke, MotO
Vader of Lothal
General Skywalker with Cin Drallig

hmm. i wonder what the plageuis / zannah / amanoa squad would look like. needs more teeth. I would bring in Exar Kun for sure. and i might even bring a juggernaught. like this http://www.bloomilk.com/Squad/172505/Edit

it will be interesting to see if Skybuck makes an appearance imo. People are getting wise to that guy

Having run a few different Sith squads, I personally think that Amanoa and Plagueis don't really work that well together. Yes, their commander effects mesh, but points for tech are so tight in Sith, especially when you want a few guys who can really benefit from Plagueis. In my experience it's usually better to pack more damage instead of Amanoa if you are running Plagueis, and use Amanoa if you are running something like Revan and Caedus without Plagueis.

I wouldn't be surprised if either type was at gencon (or one using both).

I agree with you that it is hard. I think it can work. I just think it is tough with Zannah tbh. I think the Plageuis is good, just needs Bandon or Sith Rage to be really good.

Yes, he doesn't get Leia's CE, but the rest of the squad still gets it.

Although I think Shmi15 means that those are the two NR squad types he expects.

Doh, Bastila Pilot Squads, of coarse, and insert 3720 to 1 to all Rebel squads. Oh, and while we're at it, someone will most likely play a Ghost Crew squad.

I like Rebels at the moment - they have the awesome backline of Dodonna, Rieekan, and Princess Leia, they have cheap disruptive, and lots of movement.

It'll be interesting to see if "squad-shaming" will have an effect. I think the nastiest three squads are Daala, Blast Bug swarms, and Thrawn, but I'm not sure if any will show up in force with the threat of squad-shaming around. Same deal with the Republic double reserves and MTB squad that won a Regional recently.

I also think Seps are a bit crappy without 2 point pieces - eg. why play Durge when you can play Luke and Leia on Speeder with better supporting tech (eg board wide evade).
