Wait, T'Challa, why would you ever want do to that? Isn't a shield supposed to prevent incoming damage? Well, that's usually the case - but not for Scott Summers.

For Cyclops, when he looks at the new Energy Shield card, all he sees is an Upgrade that can be attached to "a character." Not just "a friendly character", but ANY character. There have been lots of minion attachment upgrades that have helped Cyclops over the years, but Energy Shield is the first non-identity specific upgrade that can be attached to the villain! This will give you a consistent target for Optic Blast, that will remain there the entire game!

That's just the fancy new toy for the deck - the other great combo is Rogue & Wolverine. Want to save Wolverine from taking 2 consequential damage for his 3 attack? Have Rogue ping him for 1, so she swings for 5, then he heals that up next round. Or...hey, there are 2 more Energy Shields here. Place the other two on Rogue and Logan, and prevent that damage when you can with a Energy resource generated from The X-Jet.

The other allies serve to help get all this online. Forge gets you supports that help you find allies, or buff them up. Pixie will grab Rogue & Wolvie if you happen to discard them. Professor X and Gentle are two other great targets for Rogue to touch.

Love it. Hope to see lots of Cyke in front of you at the con!

I love the idea of giving them a shield just so you can Optic Blast them all game. "Hold this... PZZZZZT!!!"

(That is the sound of an Optic Blast to the face, apparently.)

@boomguy oh you know you will! @Astrodar I probably have to say that out loud when I play this deck.., @Castlefrank47 appreciate it, and I agree! @LordMalik thanks! Scott may not be a Genius, but he is brilliant!

Just be careful playing this around Kennedy Hawk who might race you to get that Energy Shield on the villain and try to prevent your damage. Great use of Energy Shield btw

as a new player who only got in this year, do you have a replacement for the doctor strange card? love the idea of this deck though can't wait to try it out

Apr 29, 2025 boomguy · 3699

@AkkoTCG what doctor strange card?

Apr 29, 2025 AkkoTCG · 7

my bad im sorry, i meant meditation. i totally just assumed it was DS instead of vision

@AkkoTCG Meditation is a great card for Scott, as I like to flip down often with him, and it can really help pay for the expensive Rogue and Wolverine allies. However, I can't seem to make 40 card decks, so I think you could just run the deck without Meditation and it should play fine! You Just might take a slight tempo hit when you play those allies (or a Med Team) the first time.

Also, welcome to the game!
