What if X-23's Pre-Con Wasn't Awful?

I was lucky enough to buy this for $11 because the seller already had one. I was eager to play it, but looking through most of the cards? It's the first time in a while I'd looked at a Pre-Con and thought: "This is unplayable." "Now I'm Mad" is hot garbage with worse art, Boom Boom is way too slow to be in the Aggression aspect, and the other allies weren't setting my world on fire.

That said, Specialized Training is a great design that I'm looking forward to splashing into other decks, and Keep Them Busy and The Direct Approach are exactly the kind of thing Aggression decks need to deal with Threat.

I replaced the allies with Professor X and aggression standards Psylocke and Laura's Dad. Danger Room and Aggression Training seem perfect for Honey Badger and how much Laura wants to use her, and Forge helps us get that DR if we need it. For Laura herself, I've added Combat Training to support how much she wants to use her Basic Attack for both damage and thwarting, and Mean Swing gives you a high damage option for using her Claws when you'd rather not deal damage.

Laura herself seems really interesting to me, I like how she's focused on raising her attack and not so much on attack events. For being a literal clone of Wolverine, she couldn't be further from him in terms of design. That said, I already miss the X-Men trait on her as I was building this deck.
