Copycat

Rogue is the only hero who can copy what other heroes do. This makes her the mime.

Mimic

We all know identity-specific events are usually a hero's most powerful or most efficient events (except for Crisis Interdiction), but Rogue's Superpower Adaptation let's her copy a hero's best events. This deck leans right into that.

Any time you get Superpower Adaptation, place Touched on your friend's identity and grab their strong card for whatever situation you're in:

• Playing with Venom? Grab Grasping Tendrils or Behind Enemy Lines
• Playing with Dr. Strange? Grab Master of the Mystic Arts and invoke a Winds of Watoomb
• Playing with Hulk? Hulk Smash
• Playing with Storm? Do some damage spread with Blast of Wind

Warning: Don’t touch a hero with less than 3 hits if they can’t heal before the villain phase and your obligation is still in the encounter deck. This is a really fun deck, but that fun dies really quickly if you touched a hero into their defeat.

Help Your Friends

It’s always fun to grab a powerful, unique event from another hero’s discard, but it’s more powerful to sometimes help them set up. When playing with Ironheart, it really sped up her upgrades if Rogue grabbed Fly Over and finished a scheme. Same for Unleash Nova Force or Schadenfreude. This is where the mime shines. I can only imagine how this would help Groot stay strong if you kept grabbing Root Stomp or Fruition. I mean, it’s 0-cost, but it’s two extra damage or thwart for Groot.

Paying for it

X-Gene works for "an identity specific event." This is great because it doesn't have to be your identity specific event. So grab Ghost Spider's Ghost Kick and pay for it with X-Gene.

The X-Jet and Deft Focus are also meant to help you pay for Track by Scent. This also helps you still play your set up cards or allies to help with defense. So don't ignore your own cards.

Resources

This deck is also chock-full of resources and uses the 'Pool resources to help pay for everything, especially your allies to give you a defense and activations.

Optional This deck has three open slots to adapt Rogue to the table or game. For the published version, I chose the pool resources. They pay for 99% of the cards grabbed from Superpower Adaptation. However, you're welcome to sub those for any three cards. If you know you'll be doing a lot of thwarting, opt for Sense of Justice and Heroic Intuition. If you're going against a heavy-hitting villain, grab Armored Vest and Indomitable.

Cycle Your Mimic

Once you have one or two Superpower Adaptation in your discard pile, shuffle it back in with Mutant Education. X-Mansion is here to help you benefit with the card draw from using it.

You always want to be shuffling in Superpower Adaptation, so you can draw into it with Nick Fury...or just go find it with Hope Summers.

Your Cards

While you always want to prioritize Superpower Adaptation, your other cards are also incredibly powerful. It's okay to touch an ally so you can thwart for 5 with Goin' Rogue or touch the villain for a Bulletproof Belle. Then you can take that tough and play Steel Fist :D.

Multiplayer Only Mostly

This deck centers around Superpower Adaptation. So if you're playing a solo game, this deck might fall flat. The deck is strong enough to still win on expert in solo, but the fun of the deck is on miming other hero’s events and doing incredibly strong things for the table through it.

Take it for a spin and see for yourself. Rogue can copy whatever the other heroes are doing. She's a Mime, and it also makes her pretty unique...because she can copy everyone else. I'm not sure unique is how you describe someone who copies, but I was amazed at how fun this was when playing with Venom and Hulk.
