Disclaimer: "First time making a deck to play with Phoenix. First time creating a deck in general, so any feedback is appriciated. Up until now, I have had no trouble with the higher card count"

The basic idea is to keep the X-men on the field and boost them. The major engine is:

  1. Cerebro: Get the ally you want/need or just take one to use as a cost for something else.
  2. Either you played the ally or used it as cost, if used as a cost you can still get them via Make the Call.
  3. Doesn't matter how the ally hits the board => If Danger Room is present grab a Danger Room Training (there are no other targets in the deck) and attach it.
  4. Rapid Response keeps them on the board even longer.

After playtesting in Solo below are the cards I think I would cut to get down to 40. But as mentioned above not even sure if it is needed. I would cut in the order mentioned below to get the card count lower.

  1. 1 X-Mansion: Usually I have Danger Room up so with that Danger Room Training already gets them up + 1 HP and with Rapid Respone/Make the Call you have a revive that triggers when you want it to. So the only 1 HP heal (in alter-ego) seems a bit not needed.

  2. Triskelion or Utopia (Utopia has the added effect of readying you, but Triskelion is 1 cost cheaper. But if you happen to have The Power in All of Us it is bassically the same cost but better. Only in very little circumstances I needed 5 slots on the board. Mainly because that would mean you have all of your allies out at the same time (Professor X comes and goes as he pleases and I tend not to use Rapid Response on him). It is fun if you get it set up though.

  3. 1 Rapid Response/Make the Call: Leaning towards cutting Make the Call, because Rapid Response will make the "resurrect cost" 2 instead of the printed cost of the card you resurrect.

  4. The one not chosen in 3, so would it become 2 [Rapid Response]#(https://marvelcdb.com/card/08031)/2 Make The Call in the deck
