"We are not his. We are our own, and I am Otherworld's true defender."
—Betsy Braddock, Excalibur Vol 4 6

Psylocke

Psylocke likes to flip a lot to make use of her larger hand size and supports like Training Regimen and Cerebro, so defending for the table usually isn't in the cards for her, but Ready for a Fight changes that.

Flip down as often as you want to draw cards and find the allies you need, then defend for your teammates in multiple ways:

1) Tough and beefy allies block without dying, then ready up with Hangar Bay to go again.

2) Psylocke's basic attack blocks 4 damage, then ready with Martial Arts Training if you need to go again.

3) Psychic Misdirection moves an attack to an enemy.

4) Psi-Flail Strike issues a stun to stop the next attack before it starts.

The Night Nurse and Dr. Sinclair can heal any damage that slips through to you or your teammates. With you controlling the villain phase, your teammates are free to thwart and attack without ever worrying about their own lives. You are their True Defender!

Deep Excalibur cut with Otherworld.

@marktry Gotta admit, I don't know the comic context for that quote, I just looked for a good Psylocke quote that was related to defending because I wanted to give @boomguy some flavor text.

Chris Claremont, who wrote some of the best X-Men got really weird with Excalibur, where Betsy Braddock before she turned in an Asian ninja was part of t he team. Her brother is Captain Britain. Really bizarre stuff. I see her economy lets you buy lots of expensive allies.

@marktry Ah, got it. Yeah, she has pretty good economy anyway, and then being able to flip a lot makes it even better. :)

I really want a Captain Britain Betsy hero now.

I've been wanting to try rfaf with her, and I like that you ditched Prof X here, as confuse has anti synergy with rfaf. This looks great!

Psychic Misdirection and Psi-Flail Strike are some of my favourite protection cards. Only usable in a few heroes, but it's soooo great here and definitely a reason to love Psylocke

Man, title and quote sold me on the deck. Playing it was next level. Thank you for posting. I don’t do alter ego a ton with Psylocke. This showed me a different look at her, and it was awesome!
