Pain Tolerance™: Wolverine & Rogue’s Mutant Mayhem Tag Team

Welcome to the pain-powered powerhouse of the mutant world — where Wolverine takes hits on purpose, heals like a boss, and tags in Rogue to dish out 10+ damage turns like it’s a Danger Room training montage.

TL;DR:

Wolverine tanks hits, heals up, and fuels Rogue’s 15+ damage turns with Utopia and Game Time, while Mutant Protectors hold the line. Fast, brutal, and wildly efficient(maybe? but 100% fun!) — this deck hits like a truck and blocks like a wall.

Step 1: Pain Is Temporary. Claws Are Forever.

Wolverine’s claws are sharp, his healing is broken, and his sense of self-preservation is deeply questionable. You’ll be slicing enemies open with Lunging Strike, Berserker Barrage, and Claw-fueled basics, then casually patching yourself up with What Doesn’t Kill Me, Regenerative Healing, and Med Team. Damage? That’s just cardio.

Step 2: Tag In Rogue. Break the Game.

Once Utopia and Rogue hit the board, things escalate fast. Toss Protective Training on her, let her absorb Colossus's glorious 3 ATK, and she’s suddenly swinging for 5 like she’s got something to prove. Then? Drop any X-Men ally, Utopia triggers, and she readies. Hit for 5 again.

Still not done?

Game Time shows up and says, “How about a third swing?” And just like that, Rogue’s delivering 15 damage in a single turn, while Logan casually preps his claws to finish off the leftovers. It’s like speed-running boss fights with mutant synergy and a grudge.

Step 3: Mutant Protectors: The Best Block in the Game

That attack coming in hot? Mutant Protectors lets you slap down Colossus or Polaris for free defense and a Tough status — basically a “No Damage” coupon. Or drop Rogue mid-attack when some puny minion swings, eat 1 damage, and start the beatdown train early. It’s like tricking the villain into funding your board state.

Other Highlights Include:

Game Time lets Rogue (or anyone!) get in extra swings post-training.

Fastball Special — because throwing friends at enemies is a team-building exercise.

Nightcrawler for stylish dodges.

Logan’s Cabin and X-Mansion — because the regeneration vacation must go on.

Slice and Dice — for when one attack isn't enough violence today.
