Please, let's not talk about that time...

Please, let's just not talk about that time he tried to assassinate a child

Look, I love Bishop. Gotta love the mullet and the Time Cop rip-off storyline. I thought Messiah complex was really interesting classic style X-men read.

But, let's all address the elephant in the room. The decades he spent committing war crimes chasing Hope Summers through time and space... .is best left forgotten.

So here you go, in honor of the Toe-to-Toe episode of Winning Hand. Here is a Aggression deck for our favorite redeemed? genocidal maniac.

The game plan is simple. Play the cards that reward you for taking big hits, and do the classic Bishop energy absorption heal hijinx. You get to play the highly underrated "You'll Pay for That!"!

Toe to toe is awesome as a minion slayer or just to maximize healing or card mill/draw.

And, hey if you die in the process... it's not like you can do any more Character Assassination than Marvel hasn't already done before.

No Lockjaw? Nah, dog. This is X-men exclusive.

What's that? Hope Summers is an ally here? Doesn't that seem an "Awkward Pairing"?

Heck no! Throw her in front of attacks over and over, or load up on consequential to send her off to the discard and SAVE THE FUTURE!!!!

Oh yeah, get yourself a concussive blast for the trouble. At least you'll have something to play if you accidentally have a hand full of resources!

And, Yes. Please, try and forget panels like this are from an honest to god published Marvel Comic.

Yeah, this is a real panel
