WIP

I wrote about it on reddit within Villain theory's deep dive on X-23. https://www.reddit.com/r/marvelchampionslcg/comments/145erpw/x23_hero_kit_deep_dive/

I will update this with Card choices etc soon. Sorry for the wait.

Things of Note

1. in order for a Response ability to resolve, the card ability it is on must remain in play once the triggering condition is met

Kit Cards

1. Honey Badger : She's our Bestie. The reason for this deck.
2. Animal Instinct :
3. Regenerative Longevity : Helps keep Badger alive.
4. Sisterly Bond : A small singular use damage boost.
5. Sisterhood : Helps keep badger on the board.
6. Grim Resolve : Resource Generator that also triggers X-23's hero ability.
7. Pain Tolerance : Over the course of the game, you'll heal yourself quite a bit.
8. Puncture Wound : Small Utility.

Card Selection

• Kaluu : Looking for Claw Mastery, Get Ready, Game Time, Regenerative Longevity. 1 ATK or THW plus puts a body on the board for some blocks.
• Maria Hill : Can't help myself with card draw, and turn setups. She's particularly powerful the more players in game, AS everyone gets a card.
• Pixie : Recurring Honey Badger, and a block on board.
• Game Time : A FREE ready up that clears the consequential damage Honey Badgerjust took.
• Get Ready : Make sure Badger wont die on consequential damage after her next ATK or THW or the agility portion will not resolve.
• Call for Backup :
• Rally the Troops :
• Specialized Training :
• Innovation : Heal Badger
• The Power of Leadership :
• Command Team : Ready up storage centre.
• Danger Room : Flip down and recover, play Badger and get a beefier target when you do.
• Moira MacTaggert : You might want to flip down to Recover, and I suggest you do. Getting 2 extra cards to hand next turn is huge.
• Team Training : +1Hp. Its always there, so you should get a few extra activations from Badger depending on when it was played.
• Clarity of Purpose : A second copy of Grim Resolve
• Danger Room Training : Make Badger Better, Faster, Stronger
• Inspired : Make Badger Faster, Stronger!
• Reinforced Suit : Make Badger Better +2Hp gives her more time on the board.
• Sidearm : Retaliate? No!

Addition Choices

• Make the Call
• First Aid
• Honorary Avenger
• Honorary Guardian
• Honorary X-Men
• X-Force Recruit
• Professor X : Cost is the primary downside here. 3 resources to ready up, plus some other utility. Looking to maximize on playing multiple cards a turn.
• Rapid Response : The first thing you need to understand is that is at the point Honey Badger takes damage and dies, her trigger NEVER resolves (in order for a Response ability to resolve, the card ability it is on must remain in play once the triggering condition is met). So Rapid Response reads in this instance, return Honey Badger to play, deal one damage. Honey Badgers Trigger resolves Ready Up X-23. So you've paid 2 resources for 1 ready up ability and gained a potential target to re-equip.

—The Setup— Beginning in Alter-Ego.

• [ ] Specialized Training Complete (Combat Specialist in play, Your hero gets +1 ATK. Hero response: After your hero preforms a basic attack exhaust this card - draw 1 card).

30. ATK with “Honey Badger” for 4 (89 total). take 1 consequential dmg (5dmg), ready X-23.

This line still leaves you with 1 card in hand. And Grim Resolve / Clarity of Purpose Ready. First Aid or Regenerative Longevity could heal Badger up a bit for next turn.

Now the probability of all this happening, yeah….
