This is my first take on Gambit!

I've wanted to build this deck since the cards were spoiled months ago. So many X-men have toughness, so does your signature ally Rogue, and when they block for you, you can ready them with Hangar Bay. Because you can supercharge Hard Knocks, it's fairly easy for Gambit to get his own tough card, especially against minion encounters.

You have no tough allies to block for you, no tough of your own? Not to worry: with 3 DEF and your Judoka Skills, plus Armored Vest, Natural Agility or Not Today!, you've got it covered. Ready from Gambit's Guild Armor, deal damage with Electrostatic Armor and Gambit's Staff, draw from Unflappable.

Revert to AE when Professor X can confuse, or when you can with Creole Charmer. This will let you use The Thieves Guild and Moira MacTaggert when you return to combat, heal whatever damage you took with X-Mansion.

I've only played Gambit-J and P so far, but P definitely felt unkillable haha. The number of counters he can stack is just absurd

Very nice! I’ve been playing Wolverine-P so much, will be a nice break to try a different sort of Protection deck soon. Have you been playing this solo or paired with another deck?

@journeyman2 Indeed! Such a great defender!

@Ninjaking So far, I played it solo, but multi seems doable, especially two-handed. Gambit could then defend twice a turn using his Gambit's Guild Armor and still walk out without a scratch. This may call for a few changes, though (maybe Defiance, for instance, so you can take the hit on your tough card when the villain activates against your ally first).
