Xmen Playthroughs

Xmen Playthroughs Note that I'm testing with Green Goblin Mutagen Formula again.  GGMF is a decent all around scenario to test most basic mechanics.  It has plenty of tougher minions, attachments, and side schemes. It has some start up pressure, and GGMF stage 2 adds a lot of pressure.  The villain pace is a good challenge ==> it's in the upper middle difficulty level among villains.   .  I added [ A Mess of Things ] to add more stuns in the deck.  The first Mutant Genesis villain is Sabertooth, who is maybe a little harder than GGMF.  I'll be trying that next. Wolverine Aggression +  Shadowcat Protection  vs  Green Goblin Mutagen Formula +  A Mess of Things Pairing:   This was a slightly slower game.  The heroes were playing upgrades early on, and they didn't have an ally on the board for a few rounds.  Once they got allies out, it was a race to take down GG.  Nothing stunning, but Wolverine's...

Xmen Acquisitions: Stupid Amazon decided to have a flash 50% off sale on a bunch of Xmen decks + Mutant Genesis.  I picked up 5 hero packs + the box set.  That's seven heroes in total. Initial Impressions: Cyclops: Every card in the deck is fantastic.  This is a mega voltron deck, and Scott can have allies from all aspects, so he's like a better Adam Warlock.  I'm leaving Scott in Leadership, he looks too good, although I understand the people who put him in Aggression.   Wolverine: Obviously, Logan comes in Aggression.  His hero power lets him play an attack event for free, but you take the cost as damage --and he heals 2hp every round.  So good.  He just needs a few extra attack events like Relentless Assault and Into the Fray . Angel: Warren has aerial + changes form.  There are so many good protection cards which support this setup.  This is a keeper.  Just a few card changes. Aerial Protection:  Ever Vigilant, Hei...
