Once a Thief Always a Thief

This is the big one. The one that you do and then retire. One last job! And Remy is calling in the best of the best to pull it off. His ability to being able to thwart while he is in Alter-Ego allows him not to have to rely solely on Justice to help thwart. He can easily stay hidden in Alter-Ego thwarting while his team takes care of the rest. Let's rundown the list to see who's here.

The Team

  • The Mastermind: Professor X is the quintessential man in the chair and he is calling all the shots by Confusing the Villain and helping to keep that threat low.
  • The Tech Specialist: Forge helps you get access to Utopia and the Danger room.
  • The Driver: Pixie is able to pick up teammates that got left behind.
  • The Muscle: Gentle is able to swing big if you need it.
  • The Assassin: Longshot can take out some of those pesky minions specially if Remy is able to line him up for the lucky shot with his Thief Extraordinaire.
  • The Fixer: Havok is able to land big blows on the villain or minions alike.
  • The Distraction: Rogue has a lot of versatility and has the easiest time entering the field as long as Gambit has charged himself up.
  • The Middleman: Beast knows the top talent and is able to help them get on the field with him with his ability.
  • The Pickpocket: Storm helps to both reduce threat and move it around to other areas to help it remain manageable.

We need one more.

The Good Boy

Cosmo used to be Doctor Strange's best friend, but now that he can no longer target the Invocation Deck Remy has picked him up to be able to carry the team. That's right this is an Alter-Ego Voltron Deck. Once Cosmo has been made an Honorary X-Men he is able to have everything he needs: Comms Implant, Danger Room Training, Inspired, Laser Blaster, and the Sidearm. As part of the Uncanny X-Men his final stats come out to be 4 THW, 5 ATK, and 6 Health.

The Plan

Every good heist needs a plan and the plan here is simple: Mulligan for Honorary X-Men first. You will want to get one on Gambit so that even when he is sneaking in he still has all the benefits of being an X-Men. After that find Cosmo and start loading him up with equipment. All the while using your Thief Extraordinaire to make sure that your good boy does take too much damage. He can sustain some damage, but it is best to allow it to come sparingly to him.

The Heist

Remy will need to get out there as Gambit to at least make sure that he gets 3 counters and the Honorary X-Men title, to help make Rogue cheap to play and use other parts of the equipment. He already has built in Resources so his best moves are going to be stealing everything. From the Avengers Mansion to the The Triskelion. Never be too afraid to flip over and just let Gambit finish them off with a Royal Flush.

Let me know what you think!

Fun concept and write-up.

With all those X-men, Team-Building Exercise has a fantastic return. If you don't want to flip down as often to use Cosmo, Domino is a nice option as well. You'd just swap out the 2nd inspired for another HonX-M.

@celric I consider Team-Building Exercise but since it is a Hero Action and you want to stay in Alter-Ego more is not as cost effective. Domino could be fun option.

I really like the idea of combining AE Gambit with Cosmo, Havok and Longshot. This should be a fun deck.

Cosmo with Gambit is really cool. how often are Comms Implant and Honorary X-Men dead cards though? do you find any trouble getting Uncanny X-Men to stay active?

definitely going to try this out

@dr00 Comms Implant is a card that usually gets placed on last. I found Honorary X-Men the card you mulligan for so that you can get Remy the X-Men trait. Once there all the rest of the allies are X-Men so Uncanny X-Men remained fairly active. Cosmo is a really cheap card for it's worth.
