No aspect? No problem. Who needs colours when you’ve got courage, cannons, and the crew?

And so onto another Basic B’stard of a deck (And 10 points to you if you get the Rik Mayall reference there).

Upgrades

Nice and simple here; just Endurance, X-Gene and Deft Focus - although, you don’t really need the latter.

Supports

All on theme here; X-Mansion for healing versatility, Utopia for some readying, more resources in The X-Jet (not convinced you need this either), Moira MacTaggert offers card draw and Children of the Atom so all our allies play nicely as X-Buddies.

Resources

Given Bishop's Uniform is absolutely wonderful, we need a few extra here. Is 10 too many, essentially a quarter of our deck? Yeah, probably. Oh well.

Events

Two copies of both X-Men Instruction and Mutant Education makes sense to me, but a big win here is Directed Force. With Bishop's Rifle offering huge attack, this tops it up very nicely indeed. Huge damage potential.

Allies

A smattering of X- guys and gals offering their usefulness through confusion, healing, stat boosting, attacking and thwarting.

A real beehive of activity, Halberstram. This deck is hot.

Now, that’s the second pop culture reference. And if you get that one, you’ll have my respect and admiration.

I love the deck! Great job. I don’t think I realized that Directed Force works for other attacks beyond basic attacks, I’ll have to use this card more often!

@Cameson Thank you so much, really appreciate it! Yeah, it was nice to find a deck / hero to use Directed Force. I've put it in other decks more out of hope that it would come out at the same time as overkill / ranged etc attacks, but it rarely does, so when I realised Bishop has ranged on his own Rifle, it made sense to include it!
