This card works with requirements of having/exhausting SHIELD cards. Is cheap. Maria Hill (Hero) can include in her deck without bloating it as its gonna be only one copy. Does stack with other cards like Utopia and having allies now can passively give benefits (like by just having the SHIELD trait, example Organizational Support), or for a big boom like Avengers Assemble!, Blaze of Glory, Lead from the Front, or by having a swarm of AERIAL dudes that can be exhausted to pay cards or help other birds in your sky.

A new purpose for this card were found with the arrival of Jubilee (and in a less degree, Domino).

Jubilation Lee's signature events benefits from having every resource type avaiable, and Neena Thurman duplicates the resources of discarded cards when the printed resource is

EDIT: I was wrong. Requesting to delete this review

Cable Leadership can setup a wonderful and potentially infinite-rounds combo of Laser Swords at maximum ATK with Live Dangerously, but nullifying icons with Shadowcat & Children of the Atom.

To not repeat what I wrote, just go read my review on the Laser Swords's card

Cable can setup a combo which gives you three (potentially infinite) rounds in a row of Shadowcat nullifying Live Dangerously's icons, meaning +4-ATK from Laser Swords and +2 hand size from Live Dangerously

Here is the setup:

• Children of the Atom to make Cable an x-men, fulfill Shadowcat's req.
• Med Lab already containing Shadowcat.
• At least 1x Command Team with 2 counters avaiable.
• Laser Swords in play too. (by Lock and Load)
• Live Dangerously in hand to start the sequence.

Here is the sequence:

1. first free turn Live Dangerously enters play, as Shadowcat is played from Med Lab exhausted.
2. second free turn we exhaust Shadowcat thrice (2x counters from Command Team) to send her to the Med Lab and pay for her again.
3. third (and following) turn(s) as long as we can repeat step two, the rounds are infinite. +2 Hand size for everyone and +4-Atk forever. This is broken, especially in multiplayer (as long as you have enough tempo for the setup).

BONUS Utopia triggers every turn with Shadowcat, readying Cable for free.

Would like to raise your attention to this card and the combo with Pixie.

She can be recurred every turn and she will fish you one x-men ally back from your discard pile to your hand. You dont need to play them; they can be discarded to generate a resource and become refished again, making pixie a "permanent" card that does 2-Atk every turn for 1 effective resource.

The only drawback of this is that requires you to be in alter-ego to play her, so an hero with a gameplay that usually mades you flip, like War Machine, Ms. Marvel, Bishop maybe, by example; would find no problem with that alter-ego requirement

Once she is in the med lab:

1. Play her exhausted, draw an x-men from discard.
2. Next turn she is ready, so do a 2-Atk, Pixie becomes defeated by consecuential damage, goes back to Med Lab
3. Be sure that you have another x-men in the discard. If so, go to step 1.

As sidenote, I bring you useful pre-searches for Med Lab:

• Self updating list of x-men allies that does something when played from your hand

• Self updating list of x-men allies that does something when comes into play

• Self updating list of allies that does something when comes into play

• Self updating list of allies that does something when played from your hand

As a final note, if entering play exhausted bugs you out, Get Ready or Command Team (among other solutions)

And as a final note after the final note, remember that the Med Lab affects the entire board: you can store ANY ally, included your teammates'. Now you can build a tribal deck in multiplayer without being restricted by a single aspect.
