I've been wondering, as I don't have time to test it before ATC, would some close variation of the 7drake/3krea/2animantarax list work under Primus Jalaam instead of X2? Speed buff is an extra hoop to jump through but superior when it goes off. Deadeye can be hilarious on a spray. Protects the paper skinned basilisks better.
Option 2 is to play cagier with fewer free points in WoD. 5" worth of movement after making a kill is nothing to sneeze at but I fear there wouldn't be enough meat to work with because of the change in free points.
Just shooting spit wads since this site slowed down soo much.

Deadeye says non-spray attack roll.
I am more a fan of shaman spam. Multiple boosted pow 12 ghost shots will hurt.

That's what I get for having ideas away from warroom. Welp, not the end of the concept...

its not really about protecting the basilisks even in x2, you literally just alpha strike with feat and hope you broke their back so badly that the kreas w/ flank and the turtles will clean up the rest of it on later turns, with the speed delivering that strike
like, neither of them have the fury to sustain them, and protecting them is meh. x2 is just THE drake man to do it with, even if deadeye did work on drakes (although if it did work on sprays, chiron out of theme would be siiiiicker than he already is)

It might also be worth a try with Zaadesh2. 3 Archidons, 4Drakes, 2 Turtles. Less scenario rush than X2, but actually more effective threat range. And Zaadesh2 brings some good defensive mechanisms. Meanwhile drakes fix some of Zaadesh's biggest issues.
