Since the game started the X-Men have been one of the most prevalent and adored affiliations in the game.
Currently there are 243 cards that have the affiliation, and none have drawn the attention of players more than the illustrious Hope Summers - Pluripotent Echopraxia.
In my opinion this is the most flexible card ever printed as it can copy 240 different cards, its low cost, low fielding, and a max 4 dice count.
Lets take a look at some prospects.
This is probably one of my favourite cards to copy as it is a very taxing card to play against.
Getting this ability for what is effectively half price is bonkers, and if you start combining this with sage Psionic Firewall and other fielding tax cards, then your near sure guaranteed a rage quit, if not a grumble or two.
From my understanding I believe that you get this in the field with hope copying it, you are then able to use both to purchase as many dice with fabricate you can, as they will always come back.This works beautifully with Yondu Yaka Arrows, and Ork Nob Big Choppa.
Nice bit of character taxing that you can double up to great effect, lets face it nobody wants to pay two for a 0 fielding cost, and certainly not 5 for a 3 fielding cost, if you add the Professor X featured above to the mix then it really starts to get silly.
Probably the most combined card with hope due to its availability in the modern format, and likely to see even more play with the release of the wild magic basic action card.
Worst thing about playing Boom Boom is when your action dice are bought up from underneath you. On its own this card is a good source of damage at 2 per action draw, with a hope copying they really are paying with their life at 4 per draw.
Copying this will double the damage output on fielding a sidekick, chuck Professor X - No More, Magnus! into the mix gives you some steady damage output.
Good old damage prevention with 40% of the cost shaved off, definition of a bargain buy.
Step 1 Build a wall of characters.
Step 2 Spin them up with energy field action
Step 3 Laugh as your opponent crumbles in a mess of tears.
If you copy this and run Seething Corruption or Staff of the Forgotten along side then you can clear opposing walls of characters.
Used this before with some good results, only downside is you need to be able to re-field it after your initial copy for it to have any effect, so is worth bringing some form of knock out global.
Great card to copy and has the ability to shut down entire teams on it's level 3 side.
Whats better than 4 Domino dice? 8 Domino Dice.
being able to get damage of your Hope dice on 2 sides and then being able to copy something else once you field it isn't anything to cry about. Using Parallax for extra re-rolls is nice too.
