Basic Mall Rat

So....This started as a justice deck. An updated precon. After playing it with a bunch of partners its evolved into this. It just kept getting less and less yellow. If I wasn't older than dirt and posting from my tablet, this would be where I would insert a jpeg of Oprah shouting "You're basic, and you're basic, and you're basic. YOU'RE ALL BASIC!"

So anyhoo.

I play 90% of my games two handed solo, and this has been a banger of a support build...It is currently tuned to run with a Bishop protection deck, but it's been great for jump starting Gambit, Storm, and Ghost Spider. The basic hook, if you will, is Jubes going first, and shopping with their partners for a favorite kit piece. Bishop with his coat on turn 1 is a lot of fun. After that, get Jubes dressed as fast as you can.

The deck will flip almost every turn, so prioritize threat reduction as you build. Coat before glasses if you're choosing. Once built, cycle back bang bang status lock cards and melt face.

For stalwart villains, I go blue...sub out the mutant educations and mansion for beast and 3 make the calls, and play it like any X-Men leadership deck, but with turbo building capability.

A BASIC REVIEW OF CARD CHOICES

Allies :

They are all cheap and can get double resources off of PIAOU (Except for Wolverine) Most if them do something when they come into play. They all are amazing blockers.

Events :

Mutant Education lets you go on your own Shopping Spree and get dressed. Later, it fills your deck with cards that go bang.

Multitalented is a 5dam/5thw heal 2 when you're all dressed up.

PSS

Build Support : Utopia/Mansion/Bunker

Resources :

Pay for stuff

Supports :

Utopia is money, Mansion for recursion with Mutant Education, Bunker is super cheap Avenger Mansion, and Crew Quarters plus X mansion are all the healing I need to avoid wasting shopping turns.

Upgrades :

Cell phone has been surprisingly helpful in two handed play, for clearing out of turn tough, guard minions, clearing a status effect from the other hero so they could play an event, etc.
Honorary X man - 9 hp is squish. Turns on X supports in alter. Partner deck is running an X jet too... Endurance for the squish as well. X-gene pays for bang bang status lock Ready to Rumble is great after shopping.

Cards that are sitting next to this deck if my partner deck isn't playing them :

Moira MacTaggart Side Schemes (Call for Backup, the green ones, Gen Next) depending on matchup X-Jet

I've beaten Mutant Gen / Next / AoA and the obligatory Rhino on Expert Standard III and am looking forward to taking down SinMo with it next.
