Psi-Rogue Battle Angel

Psi-Rogue Battle Angel

• Psi- because she'll get Psionic by Touching any of the allies except for Gambit and she wields a Psimitar.
  • Psionic lets her play Psychic Kicker for some big ally swings
  • Psimitar blasts an enemy when playing that OR any of those Psionic allies.
• Rogue because... she's Rogue LOL
• Battle because I want to be attacking with her basic Attack (although Touched will be attached to a friendly most (but not ALL) of the time, so she's not getting +1 ATK from Rogue's Jacket). Also, see note about Psimitar above.
• Angel because she flies! She's getting Aerial when Touching an ally, so she can get that +1 ATK from Soaring Acrobatics

Allies

• Cable has a great ATK and his Response also comes in handy. He can deal 8 damage in a turn (Attack for 3, ready him with Psychic Kicker which gives him +2 ATK, and attack for 5 more). Unfortunately though, with 2 consequential damage per attack, he gets knocked out. That said, using the same method he can Thwart for a total of 6 and only 2 consequential with Psychic Kicker, which should clear almost every side scheme in the game!
• Caliban isn't my favorite because of his Enters Play Response. I don't use it (it's not Forced) because I don't want to discard anything important, and because allies in this deck all cost 3+, meaning I won't be able to play them too.
• Fantomex doesn't have great stats, but he can stay around forever if you use E.V.A. to heal him after using him. E.V.A. can also knock off Tough cards!
• Gambit has a great Interrupt which can knock off a Tough card before dealing his ATK damage, but if there's no Tough he's effectively attacking for 3 like Cable, making him a better choice or Psychic Kicker since he only takes 1 consequential damage each attack.
• Legion is mainly just another Psionic ally, but he does have a fun Response.
• Mirage isn't here to Stun (but if she's does it's a bonus). She's Psionic and has 2 THW.
• Professor X is Professor X! Like Cable dealing 8 damage, Professor X can thwart for 8 in a turn with Psychic Kicker.

Side Schemes

• Use Call for Backup for the best ally for the situation.
• Use Specialized Training to grab Combat Specialist so you're also drawing a card after attacking for 4 (2 + 1 from Soaring Acrobatics +1 from Combat Specialist). Any ally can defeat this with the ready and buff from a Psychic Kicker either by themselves or with some help from E.V.A.). But two allies stand out:
  • Cable also gets you a card draw
  • Professor X can thwart 3 somewhere else and THEN defeat this with the +2 THW

Healing

Healing allies could also be considered angelic LOL.

There's not a lot of haling here, but...

• X-Mansion gives you 2 points of healing for you or an X-Men ally when you flip down to alter-ego (1 when you go down and 1 before you flip back up). It also obviously has synergy with Mutant Education.
• Innovation is my favorite aspect resource card because it helps keep your allies alive.
