Street Smart Gambit

The street smart Cajun spent time honing his technique. Honed Technique may require mental resources, but we all know there’s a difference between book smart and street smart. Of the 25 cards added to Gambit’s deck, only one does not have a printed mental resource. Fifteen attack events that can boosted with both Honed Technique and Charge De Card. Moira McTaggart, the X Jet (the only card without a mental resource, but it generates a wild) and X Mansion provide support. And Gambit and Rogue can have a double date with Angel and Psylocke.

Sure, Gambit has already perfected the art of the deal with Charged Cards and Royal Flushes, but he has other ways of causing damage. With three charge counters and Honed Technique…

Fusilade can deal 10 damage

No Quarter can deal 9 and get more cards in your hand

Precision Strike can deal 6 and heal for 2

Toe to Toe can deal 9, and pairs well with Natural Agility and Gambit’s standard 3 DEF

And the coup de grâce, Meele can deal 9 damage, not once but twice!

With this street smart deck, you’re rarely without a mental resource to trigger Honed Technique. Granted, this may leave Gambit wanting an energy resource if the Thieves Guild comes calling, but the X Jet as a resource generator can mitigate this.
