Gambit Villain Deck Energy

Premise

Using Remy Lebeau And getting two high-value villain cards revealed can be a paint, but not with this set up. I have included as many cards as I could think of to fix this issue.

Method

• Armor and Colossus are ready to take a big hit

• Black Widow and Get Behind Me! are ready to take care of unforeseen activations that would cause major issues.

• Defiance and Preemptive Strike are ready to negate or reverse boost icons

• Target Acquired and Defiance are ready to negate a Boost Ability

• The support cards and Mutant Education are ready to draw more cards

Highlight

My favorite addition to the deck is Pulse Grenade thematically it feels like Gambit charges up a pocket rock. These are some of the nicest cards for managing the top of the villain deck because in addition to the damage, you can have three of them in play at a time and you can save them until you need them. They unlock the other cards that handle the same issue to be more flexibly used as resources as needed.

Cons

This strategy works great when going from Alter-ego to Hero, but not so much the other way around. The healing from Endurance and X-Mansion should help to survive going to hero form without using the recovery action. If this becomes too much of an issue, I may use What Doesn't Kill Me, Down Time and/or Symbiote Suit to set up for rounds with big heals.
