The Blue Mage

The Blue Mage

In Final Fantasy RPGs a Blue Mage is a Job or Class which learns its spells from various enemies. That's 100% NOT what's going on here! Magik is a Blue Mage because she's a MYSTIC using the Leadership Aspect, and she employs several spells!

This is the deck I'm likely to run through the Expert Rise of Red Skull campaign on my channel between January 6th and 10th (Magik is currently leading a poll there by a HUGE margin: Solo Marvel Champion). After those videos are public I'll add the video links here! However, this deck list may differ slightly from the version I actually run through the series!

• Jan. 6th: EXPERT Crossbones
• Jan. 7th: EXPERT Absorbing Man
• Jan. 8th: EXPERT Taskmaster
• Jan. 9th: EXPERT Zola
• Jan. 10th: EXPERT Red Skull

Magik discards cards from her deck in several ways:

• Legion
• Scrying
• Summoning Spell (I like to have Pixie in the discard pile or my hand when I play this, because she's the only ally whose Response triggers when played from hand).

This makes Digging Deep come to hand fairly often, but I'm not using White Fox because she "turns off" Uncanny X-Men and Utopia. However, the deck isn't built around disarding to get Digging Deep though. That's just a bonus on top of Digging Deep having a resource. If I get to add it to my hand that's awesome, but I'm just as happy having it sit on top of my deck because it kicks all of her cards which care about a specific or wild resource on top:

• Exorcism
• Magic Barrier
• Soul Strike
• Magik's Crown
• Mystical Armor
• Soulsword

I could use The Power of Leadership, The Power in All of Us, Innovation, or Effective Leadership, but Digging Deep does have that "add to hand" benefit whereas the others don't!
