This card is honestly going to get players looking at some of the "binder fodder" they blew off long ago. In addition to the piles of Ally mitigation that has shown up in scenarios that didn't exist in the first 4-5 waves of the game, getting more bang for your buck from the shield teams make them far more appealing.

Med teams will definitely be making an appearance in Maria Hill's protection deck, but don't sleep on cards like Tac teams when making Aggression decks

I always enjoy playing this card. It is insanely strong for 3 ER, versatile and cheap. The art is very simple but obviously Black Cat. You have many options, when first played there is a good chance of drawing a card, and you can thwart one without dying and still attack as much as you need. Maybe you could even draw two cards if you build around it. If someone would more recently make this, it would probably either take a consequential damage after attacking or only discard one card. That is how strong it is. The quote raps up the very strong card but saying where her allegiances are. Unfortunately, Hero for Hire doesn't work with any other cards.

Rating: (A+:C-) A

It's not that this is a bad card, but it seems like Gunboat Diplomacy makes this obsolete. Sure, there is the extra step of including Children of the Atom, but it seems like it's worth the step. Am I missing something?

Gunpoint Diplomacy is much more limited with a stronger ability because it needs both a X-Force and X-Men character to get maximum potential and can't do more than two. — tunicv · 733

Just for information : "Battle Mage - Action: Discard 1 card from your hand. Limit once per phase." It's an Action, so you can't activate "Battle Mage" during the Villain phase. Discarding cards when you have two "Mystic Senses" is really powerfull !

Will be amazing in a War Machine deck where alter-ego James Rhodes can play it at 1 cost to fish for Shoulder Cannon, Upgraded Chassis and the rest of his kit.

It only searches your deck, but James Rhodes can shuffle those cards from discard to deck anyways to get around this before activating it.

Might be good in a SPDR deck too since her most of her interfaces are tech. — chrisrivers13 · 1
In a SPDR deck you’d have to use your whole alter-ego hand to pay for it, which is a loss of tempo for the future benefit of playing an interface. I find that most likely just using the turn to maintain board status will get her built out just as fast, if not faster than using Fitz would. — Zexin389 · 1
