To date as of this posting, in comics, one branch of the X-Men is being led by Rogue. On her team, the Uncanny X-Men, are Nightcrawler, Gambit, Wolverine, and Jubilee. I really like all these characters in comics, so I thought it would be really fun to build five decks, one for each member of the team, and focusing on multiplayer interactions. I also picked some limitations:
- No Professor X, he's currently not around for this team. Also no X-Mansion for some reasons.
- No allies that are on the other main X-Men team, led by Cyclops
- Only one copy across all five decks of any unique support/ally
- All the decks can be made with one collection-worth of cards
Here are the other decks:
- Nightcrawler (Protection): https://marvelcdb.com/decklist/view/44944/uncanny-x-men-roster-2024-nightcrawler-multiplayer-deck-2.0
- Wolverine (Protection): https://marvelcdb.com/decklist/view/44945/uncanny-x-men-roster-2024-wolverine-multiplayer-deck-1.0
- Jubilee (Aggression): https://marvelcdb.com/decklist/view/44941/uncanny-x-men-roster-2024-jubilee-multiplayer-deck-1.0
- Gambit (Justice): https://marvelcdb.com/decklist/view/44943/uncanny-x-men-roster-2024-gambit-multiplayer-deck-1.0
The idea is any of them can be played together at any multiplayer count (2-4) and one person can be the facilitator and build them all if needed. I'll just mention the overall conceit of the deck and how it interacts with the other decks. I plan on keeping these built for a while so I can pick two and play two-handed games at any time, with any mix of aspects!
The Deck
This is a leadership deck with a mixture of X-Force/X-Men allies. Mutant Mayhem is very fun, but I wanted to lean into another fun card, Noble Sacrifice. This allows us to get more value from discarding our allies than we would just chumping with them. This combined with Bulletproof Belle leaves Rogue pretty resilient and with enough thwarting and damage to handle most situations. There are also 4 brand new mutant characters introduced, and so I included New Recruits, and while these are not the same characters, thematically they are new recruits, so let's roll with it.
Synergies With the Other Decks
A few fun synergies:
- Mission Leader. This card is so good in multiplayer, and worth it even without the discount. This card is a top priority.
- Make the Call can play allies from anyone's discard
- Uncanny X-Men can be played on Wolverine, Gambit, or Jubilee as well (not Nightcrawler, he has no X-Men allies).
- Moira MacTaggert helps everyone with card draw
Roles
- Primary - Flexibility (Damage Dealing and Thwarting and Damage Blocking)
- Secondary - Card Draw Support
Other Considerations
The basic cards can be swapped between decks if you feel you like X-Jet in Jubilee more than Nightcrawler, for instance, but I did like the artificial limit of one X-Support per hero, it felt like a fun and interesting limitation. But hey, it's your game! Do what you want, and I hope you have fun!
Rogue is really fun to lean into X-men! I often get stuck trying to make stolen traits work with her, but she already has one of the best traits in the game
