When it comes to something like General Wars, I'm not even convinced that Mass and SotM Drake is the best Jandar build anymore, especially with the maps that have been used the last 5 years or so. I'd say that X Knights of Weston + Gilbert and Eldgrim is better, depending on hex limits and point totals.
I'm still thinking a qualified A-, if 4th are still A's. Which basically means, get more Mass when possible.
Cap is so good he makes an argument for himself and the Mass to go back to A+. In some weird world where we play cheese and use Marvel.
Charos is kind of hovering in that B+/A- range, in part because he's decent with Greenscales too. I'd say Alastair is a B+, and little drake is too.

Thanks for chiming in; I always appreciate your insight!
Yes, Cap is pretty busted. I think the power rankings look quite a bit different in a Marvel-legal world, which is why I didn't include the Marvel units in my rankings.
It's hard to say between Knights and 4th. They're both really strong, but Knights probably do have the edge overall (although I'd definitely rather have 4th into the 10th/Zelrig build that used to float around).
Alastair at B+ is interesting. I don't think I agree; Overextend is really good. However, he isn't really the best option for any build, which definitely is an argument for him to be B+.
I think Drake RotV probably deserves a B+; B is likely too low. I'll most likely bump him up.
