X-23 - Perfected

              Aprecio un like!

If you want to ready 3 to 6 times per turn with 3 ATK to 5 ATK and piercing, heal 4 to 15 damage, and defend with 3 retaliate to ready again each turn, this is your deck. X-23 arrived but no different dynamics that we have seen with Drax - Perfected 2.0, and although the LEADERSHIP aspect is currently a robust option, after testing X-23 a thousand and one time with Magneto and Thanos In heroic mode, I wanted to demonstrate the reason for PROTECTION and its modifications compared to other decks.

Deck Objectives:

The main objective was to ready X-23 as many times as possible per turn, taking advantage of the modifiers of X-23's Claws and the 3 copies of Claw Mastery "until the end of the round", making the most of Honey Badger key in the development of his game.

The secondary objective and no less important, was to maintain a low cost of the cards in favor of Pain Tolerance and the engine of its healing.

Cards and Combos:

There is nothing better than explaining the deck through its combos:

• Honey Badger, all 3 copies of Game Time, all 3 copies of Leading Blow, all 3 copies of What Doesn' t Kill Me, Grim Resolve, and even X-23's Claws themselves, to ready X- 23. Don't worry about the requirement of What Doesn't Kill Me as you can play it through [Grim Resolve](/card/ 43010) (by Tano Games).

• Additionally, Elixir, 2 copies of Regenerative Longevity, Render Medical Aid, 2 copies of Protective Training due to its importance in Game Time, and X-Force Recruit, keeping Honey Badger throughout the game and always suffering from derivative damage necessary to ready X-23. In turn, Sidearm will not only give +1 ATK to Honey Badger, but it will give him ranged, necessary on villains or minions with retaliate.

• Pain Tolerance, 2 copies of Regenerative Longevity, 3 copies of What Doesn't Kill Me, Render Medical Aid, Elixir, Preservation, Angel's Aerie, and even his alter-ego with REC 6, for a character who needs to take damage to ready. And Adamantium Claws, Endurance and Front Line Specialist, easy to play through Specialized Training , since it does not lack INT to X-23, increasing its maximum health.

• Finally, Adamantium Lacing, Electrostatic Armor and Dauntless confer retaliate 3, on a character who always ready after defending, and with Angel's Aerie if you are in serious trouble you can recover almost your 19 LIFE POINTS.

Evolution:

The following very commonly used cards in X-23 were discarded for the following reasons:

1. Energy, Genius and Strength. It's not worth it since there are so many 0 and 1 cost cards.

2. Mutant Education: at first it seemed like an ideal option along with Grim Resolve giving play, in turn, to less used cards, however, after many attempts I ended up giving up. First, it is very restricted to being used together with X-Mansion and always, always, having better options not only to pay X-Mansion in resources, but also to be more interesting to move on to your alter-ego.

3. Defiance, since we are interested in taking damage to ready.

4. Taunt, we can ready 1 per phase not 2, being exhausted and it being more interesting to use the ATK in X-23 than the DEF, for me it is overused and much more useful on other characters.

5. Crew Quarters and Weapon X, in most cases it is more interesting to avoid 3 damage to hero and ready again, than the alter-ego's actions.

Modifications:

Thanks to Erathis, exchanging Elixir for First Aid may be a better option as it is low cost and fits perfectly with the dynamics of the deck.

Si te quieres preparar de 3 a 6 veces por turno con 3 ATK a 5 ATK y penetrante, recuperarte de 4 a 15 de daño, y defenderte con 3 de represalia para volver a prepararte cada turno, este es tu mazo. Llegó X-23 pero no dinámicas distintas que hayamos visto con Drax - Perfected 2.0, y aunque el aspecto LIDERAZGO actualmente sea una opción robusta, tras testear X-23 mil y una vez con Magneto y Thanos en modo heroico, quería demostrar el porqué de PROTECCIÓN y de sus modificaciones respecto a otros mazos.

Objetivos del Mazo:

El objetivo principal fue preparar a X-23 el mayor número posible de veces por turno, aprovechando los modificadores de X-23's Claws y las 3 copias de Claw Mastery "hasta el final de ronda", sacando el máximo partido de Honey Badger clave en el desarrollo de su juego.

El objetivo secundario y no menos importante, fue mantener un coste bajo en las cartas a favor de Pain Tolerance y motor de su curación.

Cartas y Combos:

No hay nada mejor que explicar el mazo a través de sus combos:

• Honey Badger, las 3 copias de Game Time, las 3 copias de Leading Blow, las 3 copias de What Doesn't Kill Me, Grim Resolve, e incluso, las propias X-23's Claws, para preparar una y otra vez a X-23. No te preocupes por el requisito de What Doesn't Kill Me ya que podrás jugarla a través de Grim Resolve (por Tano Games).

• Además, Elixir, 2 copias de Regenerative Longevity, Render Medical Aid, 2 copias de Protective Training por su importancia en Game Time, y X-Force Recruit, manteniendo a Honey Badger toda la partida y siempre sufriendo el daño derivado necesario para preparar a X-23. A su vez, Sidearm no solo conferirá +1 ATK a Honey Badger, sino que le conferirá a distancia, necesario en villanos o esbirros con represalia.

• Pain Tolerance, 2 copias de Regenerative Longevity, 3 copias de What Doesn't Kill Me, Render Medical Aid, Elixir, Preservation, Angel's Aerie, e incluso, su alter-ego con REC 6, para un personaje el cual necesita sufrir daño para prepararse. Y Adamantium Claws, Endurance y Front Line Specialist, fácil de jugar a través de Specialized Training, ya que no le falta de INT a X-23, aumentando su vida máxima.

• Por último, Adamantium Lacing, Electrostatic Armor y Dauntless conferiéndola represalia 3, en un personaje que siempre se prepara tras defender, y con Angel's Aerie si estás en graves apuros podrás recuperar casi tus 19 PUNTOS VIDA.

Evolución:

Se descartaron las siguientes cartas de uso muy común en X-23 por las siguientes razones:

1. Energy, Genius y Strength. No merece la pena al existir tantas cartas de coste 0 y 1.

2. Mutant Education: al principio me pareció 1 opción ideal junto a Grim Resolve dandole juego, a su vez, a cartas menos utilizadas, sin embargo, tras muchos intentos acabé por desistir. Primero, queda muy restringida a utilizarse junto a X-Mansion y teniendo siempre, siempre, mejores opciones ya no solo para pagar X-Mansion en recursos, sino para que sea más interesante pasar a tu alter-ego.

3. Defiance, ya que nos interesa recibir daño para prepararnos.

4. Taunt, nos podemos preparar 1 vez por fase no 2 quedando agotada y siendo más interesante utilizar en X-23 el ATK que la DEF, para mi sobreusada y mucho más útil en otros personajes.

5. Crew Quarters y Weapon X, por la misma razón que X-Mansion, cartas que no se terminaban de aprovechar por resultar en la mayoría de las ocasiones más interesante evitar 3 daños en héroe y volver a prepararte, que las acciones de alter-ego.

Modificaciones:

Gracias a Erathis, intercambiar Elixir por First Aid viene a ser mejor opción ya que es de bajo costo y encaja perfectamente con la dinámica del mazo.
