Honed Bombs - (NeXt/w7)

X-Force Mission Completed: X-themed decks for all NeXt/Wave 7 heroes in every aspect vs X-pert NeXt Evolution!

Synopsis:

• An aggressive deck that uses Dive Bomb with Honed Technique literally drop bombs for 11-damage to an enemy and 5-damage to all other enemies.

• Plan of Attack is not a card I use often, but it's very good in this deck. It's a to get Honed Technique online and ensure the bonus with Dive Bomb. There's always targets since you get to alter-ego often with Metamorphosis and always cycling Aerial events back into your deck. I've even had some really clutch moments in my games where I grab something in Hero.

• Boom Boom, Dust, & Wolverine clear those annoying Toughs, not to mention more bombage with respect to the first two.

Cards:

Supports:

• Honed Technique - Obviously a super-combo with Dive Bomb splashing for 11-damage and 5 to everything else.

• Weapon X - Allows you to filter through Angel's deck with Worthington Industries. You're also able to heal that 1 damage ping with Angel's Alter-Ego ability.

• Team-Building Exercise - Traits are X-Force & Aerial.

• Boot Camp - I like this card for Wolverine since I always just keep him on the board, as well as Dust.

Events:

• Dive Bomb - Not a priority early, but once you get Honed Technique down you'll do 11 damage to an enemy and 5 damage to every other enemy.

• Plan of Attack - May seem like an odd choice here and admittedly I don't use this card too often, but it is included for a few reasons:

  • In the beginning of the game it helps to ensure that you can get Honed Technique down early.
  • It also allows you to essentially increase the number of Aerial attack events in the deck, but give that event a resource for Honed Technique when needed.
  • Angel is able to spend more time in alter-ego and I often search for the event I need since you choose which Aerial events you want back in your deck with Worthington Industries.
  • This event is 0-cost which helps with his nemesis set.

Player Side Schemes:

• Superpower Training - Vital to Angel and this is always a priority to make sure you get Techno-Organic Wings.

Allies:

• Boom Boom, Dust, & Wolverine - Keep Tough out of your way. There's nothing more annoying than having a devastating Dive Bomb in your hand and there's Tough on the board. This is especially annoying in On The Run.

• Sunfire - I love Sunfire for clearing villain upgrades. Favored Weapon can be game-altering in On The Run.

Upgrades:

• X-Gene - Helps with Angel's higher than average number of events.

Resources:

• The Power of Aggression - I went with Power of Aggression here since I didn't really lean into Aerial allies and it helps with Honed Technique.
