M's Rapid Response

Ever since M was spoiled i was trying to find a way to break her. I was first thinking to play her with Squared Off and then immidiately defeat the minion we put in play. Then return her to hand with Won't Stay Down and replay her when we next draw Squared Off. But all this seemed too clucnky and not worth doing.

And then i came up with another idea, why not keep M with 1-2 HP in play and when a minion pops up defeat her with activation and return her to play with Rapid Response to destroy the minion. What is also cool is that we can use the activation that would defeat her to drop the minions HP below Ms HP so when she comes back the response is not wasted. Also we run Uncanny X-Men and Team Training to make her HP higher.

But we can only have 3 copies of Rapid Response in the deck so this combo wouldn't be so consistent. Cyclops solves this problem. Since Rapid Response is tactic and upgrade, Cyclops can fetch it with his alter ego ability or dig it out from the discard plie with Tactical Brilliance.

The other problem is that we only have 1 copy of M in the deck, so it might take a while before we draw her or sometimes we draw her but we need to play something more important. The good news is that the deck has a lot more high value allies that would be good to do the ocmbo with. For example we can do it with Beast, Dazzler, Psylocke, Phoenix.

And on top of all this we have 3 copies of To Me, My X-Men! to help us fish for these high value allies and have their effects played for a really low cost.

My first version had Squared Off instead of To Me, My X-Men! which is totaly fine to run since we can set up more minions for the M grinder. But in the end i think To Me, My X-Men! would work better so i decided to run that. Feel free to swap this cards tho.

If you like the deck please give it a go and share it with you friends. And as always thank you for reading!
