Marvel Champions Hero Primer: Cyclops

[@OresteGamba]

Very useful video! "Uncanny X-Men" from Storm's pack is a must have for a leadership deck. Thanks for the video!

[@MCM_Podcast]

Thanks for the kind comment. “To me my X-men” feels made for cyclops indeed😊

[@MrBurnsyboy12]

I love rapid response! Get to rebuy so many cool X-Men and keep them fighting!

[@MCM_Podcast]

Rapid Response is still a bonkers card to date. Cycle 1 has some great cards.

[@Southy427]

My favorite tactic is Air Supremacy! Having a full board of Aerial allies and then pinging minions and the villain is so fun. Really feels like you’re the commander on the ground.

[@MCM_Podcast]

This is not one I’ve tried but now I can’t wait too. What aerial allies do you recommend?

[@Southy427]

I actually posted my deck on the CDB. Search for Flight Control Commander posted by Southy. Cloud 9 really makes the deck work because she can help shore up threat with your other aerial allies while you’re dealing damage with Air Supremacy.

[@jonathanhirsch1005]

Game time! What time is it? Game Time! Extra readies on great allies sounds fun to me.

[@davidduran2320]

I'm also a big fan of regroup in leadership, to be able to retrigger when played effects on allies, and I like bringing back more than one ally from that one card.

[@21hotfuzz21]

Probably going to try Sneak Attack and Go Down Swinging, looks kinda fun!

[@MCM_Podcast]

I saw someone brewing that - it looks really fun. And with cyclops recursion it should be easy to set up combos.

[@WinningHandPodcast]

Easily my favorite of the X-Men. Nice primer!

[@TheCombatRaptor]

Game Time Basic event tactic is my favorite. Who doesn't like readying and healing allies?!?

[@MCM_Podcast]

I always forget that one is a tactic because get ready isn’t. :p

[@cmdrm00s38]

My fave Tactic card is definitely To Me My XMen! It is thematic, i always shout TO ME MY XMEN! as i play it, searching for a random Xmen to join the fight. It is recur by Tactical Brilliance, and it allows wide board with many allies, especially if combo with Uncanny Xmen and Utopia. All around perfect Tactic card for Cyclops, such a great Xmen leader!

[@TurtleDude05]

I have to 2nd this. I feel like To Me My X-men is really a Cyclops card disguised as blue.

[@MCM_Podcast]

Cyclops seems made for this card. The 50 card deck by journeyman2 on marvelcdb is super fun.

[@MCM_Podcast]

@@TurtleDude05lol nuff said

[@bryantstewart8280]

I feel Regroup is the strongest. But with Mutant Education to cycle tactile brilliance I’m wanted to test a “to me my X-men” and “go down swinging” build. That being said I’m one of those weirdos that doesn’t like ally heavy decks. I understand it’s on theme here, but I like feeling my hero took down the enemy, with their unique attack cards. With that in mind I haven’t played Cyclops much, even though he is very strong.

[@joshuamatos5053]

Dude i love these HERO PRIMERS!!!! i wish Captain america had this with avengers 😒

[@Vancity3]

Tactical Brillance pulling To Me, My X-Men! just seems too good...

[@MCM_Podcast]

Seems golden right

[@joshuamatos5053]

Pin them down protection build

[@MCM_Podcast]

Super strong. Being able to ignore a minion for 0 (1 effective) cost is strong!

[@davidduran2320]

Yeah, I like the combo with mutant protectors

[@MCM_Podcast]

Wow pinned down and mutant protectors I have not explored together but I’m about to now!

[@benjaminclemence7131]

I know this doesn't really have much to do with this video, but I was curious about what other people thought about it. After Cyclops came out it made me think about what it would be like to deck build a Black Widow deck where you could include any preparation card regardless of attribute. Thoughts?

[@MCM_Podcast]

That would be a really cool experiment. Or a Captain America deck that loses the discount but can include avengers from all 4 aspects.

[@ChrisMaka]

It was a great primer, but you didn't mention that no matter how good the hero kit may be, that Cyclops is still a dork. And every time you pull up the ratings, I'm still bitter that you rated Ms. Marvel so low. 🙂 Thanks for doing these.

[@MCM_Podcast]

Lol maybe I should skip to Valkyrie so you can see how high on Ms. Marvel I am

[@ChrisMaka]

@@MCM_Podcast LOL. I still think you let Crim - the well known MM hater - influence that score.
