I've recently started playing I'm a new meta, which seems dominated by Cygnar and Ghostfleet (6 games so far, 3 ghost fleet and 3 cygnar, 2 of which were Nemo3).
Essentially I'm looking for a pairing that covers these two archetypes.
My thinking at the moment is:
B3 has silence of death and can run ruin in theme, so between the two of them that's a lot of magic attacks and RFP from silence of death. Eliminators seem like a good target for SoD to go hunting Revenant Crew unit leaders, and Ruin plus Butcher himself can go for Black Banes. Since I get the feeling that Ghost fleet struggles with High Armour, I was going to run B3 in Jaws tier. Thoughts on this?
For Cygnar I'm torn between Vlad 2, with Wind Blast, or Zerkova1 with cloud wall and feat. Vlad doesn't quite answer the ranged game on his own and Z1 has a hard counter in Sloan. So I'm struggling on a Cygnar drop (or how to play into them at all really) part of me thought that Strakhov2 with conquest and Legion of Steel might work, lots of high armour targets that stop Eleaps from being as effective, except Nemo3 on fear turn kind of gets past that, so I'd have to preemptively counter feat to stop this.
Thoughts on any of this much appreciated!

B3 seems to be goot into cryx. I have to try him into ghostfleet, yet. Vlad1 dudespam is good into Cygnar as long as they don't take Haley3.

With jaws also nice to run either behemoth or a destroyer that is jackmarshalled by a forge seer, this can clear out incorporeal.

I'm no Ghostfleet expert, but I think that the struggle vs. armor will depend on what 'caster is running it. If it's Denny1, armor probably won't be a huge issue.

Main problem I've seen is people focus too much on magic weapons against ghost fleet, where rfp is more of a benefit. I've seen a lot of Denny 1 so armor isn't a big fear through all the debuffs sorscha 2 would be good if you are wanting a big ghost fleet drop and it's decent into armor still. B3 is my personal favorite but he has been in my pairings for most of mk 3 as he is my favorite caster. Cygnar we have a few answers for rifle corps are great for dealing with pesky stormlances, vlad 1 has become pretty popular into them, but I also like zerkova 1 in legion of steel versus them as it blocks a lot of charge paths and forces a Sloan drop if they have one, and she isn't a fan of fighting infantry.

It's purely theoretical, but I'd try Vlad 1 jaws jackspam. Windwall should protect you from shooting, feat allows to outthreat a lot of things and s&p fixes to hit which you'll need. There are also Seers there for the Fleet matchup.
Otherwise WG theme is probably best bet. B3, wg theme, Ruin, whatever 4 jacks, 2 min wg units with rockets is great against Cygnar and I imagine he also will work well against Fleet S1 rocket spam also has tools for the job.
