Angel's event cards are so good.
Let's keep getting them over and over and over with the help of our resident magician, Wiccan, and a lot of card draws.
Game play is simple...
- Manage the board while getting all the supports/upgrades in play.
- Play more and more events as more and more supports and upgrades are on the board.
Metamorphosis is a strong card in this deck as it allows us to power down, perform a lot of alter-ego actions and then power back up. Let's play it every turn if possible. Once set-up, Wiccan's magic recurrence will pull it for us every other turn. See Wiccan cycle below. The other turn, we have to hope it comes along with all of our card draws. Then we can use our supports and upgrades to play our other events.
Card Draws -
- Angel draws a card when an aerial even is played.
- Avengers Mansion draws a card
- X-Bunker lets us search for a card once we have a player's side scheme completed.
- Weapon X lets us discard until an identity specific card is discarded.
- Worthington Industries lets us draw a card in alter-ego
- Mutant Education and X-Mansion combo lets us draw a card
- When Wiccan is played from your hand, we can search for an identity specific event.
- Moira MacTaggert lets us draw a card when we power up.
- Avian Anatomy lets us get an aerial event back into our hand.
- Front Line Specialist (or other choice if you prefer from Specialized Training lets us draw a card when we take damage.
Allies Our allies are forever allies (except for Wiccan who we want to recur every other turn).
- Psylocke can self heal. Once Children of the Atom is out, X-Mansion can also heal her.
- Cannonball takes -1 consequential for every aerial card in your hand. There should be plenty to get it down to zero.
- New Recruits ally can be healed with the X-Mansion. Pick whichever one you like to play with.
- Wiccan will go through the Wiccan magical cycle (see below).
Notes: Children of the Atom is needed for the following:
- New Recruits requires the x-men trait.
- The X-Jet will only work once you have the x-men trait.
- X-Mansion will only heal the x-force allies once they have the x-men trait
Paying for our events:
- Team-Building Exercise helps to pay for x-force or aerial cards in hero form.
- Clarity of Purpose can help pay for anything in hero form
- X-Gene can help pay for our events
- The X-Jet can help pay for anything in hero form.
- Techno-Organic Wings can help with events in archangel form
Now for the Wiccan magic cycle.
- Play Wiccan from hand and pull an event.
- Activate and take consequential.
- Next round. Activate and take consequential. Place in Med Lab
- Next round (while in alter ego). play Wiccan and pull an event. Wiccan comes in exhausted. 5, Sp use Command Team to ready Wiccan
- goto step 2 and repeat. This lets you pull an event every other turn.
This is a fun puzzle deck to keep you thinking on how to play each round. Quite the magical card draw pile of flying fun!!!
