Only have the Core Set and one other pack? No problem! Welcome to Core + 1 — where we build decks with the Core Set and just one additional expansion.
If you like Aggression, Age of Apocalypse has some good options for you. Clobber is a classic, now reprinted. Full-Body Charge is a very costly card... but Magik has the ability to make it cost 1 less, which takes a lot of the sting out of playing it. Test the Defense takes some time to build up counters, but once it is full, you can use it at the most opportune time.
Magik has a very generically useful set of cards, and so we are just bringing all the most efficient options we can.
A fun synergy is with Hulk—normally his ability is quite a liability, but Magik gets to know exactly what will happen when she attacks with him! Scrying can even force a specific result. If he's on his last hit point anyway, that may be worth it...
In testing, Bloodgem and Blood Rage never really felt necessary or worth it.
Questions? Comments? Critiques? Let me know!
I've seen others doing the Core +1 thing and LOVE the idea! I've made a couple myself which I haven't posted yet.
Hulk in Magik is great, and I've been testing Test the Defense for the first time ever recently in a Wasp deck. Yeah Blood Rage is great is Spider-Ham and X-23, but I don't remember using it anywhere else.
Magik is my favorite X-Men hero, so I'll give this deck some plays!
