I was looking at Stronger Together and looking for good options to use it with. This deck is taking advantage of Gambit's high natural DEF and the abilities of his allies to let them do the defending while he attacks.

You have Mutant Protectors to help you get your allies out, especially useful with your tough allies, who do not need to Stronger Together to handle that first damage. With Northstar in play, you gain more control over how much damage is being sent their way. Iceman will limit attacks from minions. Ops Room can further protect your allies.

Getting out Gambit's Guild Armor will allow you to actually use Gambit for some defenses and still be ready for basic attacks, although he has a lot of attacks available from cardplay if you are unable to avoid leaving him exhausted.

First Hit is a nice addition to his offense as he can use his charge tokens to turn it into an efficient source of damage or a tool to pick off minions before they deal damage.

First hit is so good for Gambit, love me some Gambit Protection. Good stuff!

@eroush, @Castlefrank47 Thanks! Glad you like it!

For anyone wondering where Colossus is, I'll be honest and admit it's just me blanking on him. He's a natural fit here and you could simply add him in or replace Iceman or one of the Directed Force cards with him.

Just heard you talk about this deck on the Winning Hand podcast, and was shouting at you through the radio, "Hangar Bay! Where is Hanger Bay!" I haven't played the deck yet, but I assume that you should get quite a bit of use out of it. Also useful for the Allies with Tough cards.

Also, don't forget that Stronger Together can be used to prevent consequential damage, so you can swing away with Rockslide and keep him relatively healthy.

@Cappster_ this is why posting decks is valuable. Someone always has a card on their mind that slips yours. I would definitely swap in Colossus if you add it.

A note for anyone who heard me mention this deck on the podcast. I kept mentioning Fighting Fit, when the card is was actually talking about was First Hit. Sorry for any confusion.

Yeah, Colossus is an excellent addition as well when considering Hangar Bay. I'd probably pitch Deft Focus because the only targets for it are 3x Charged Card and 2x Royal Flush and X-Gene for much the same reason. Mutant Education is a great option to recur Molecular Acceleration, and I'd trade 3 of those for the Basic 3 Resources. Defensive Training would help to recur Stronger Together

And now, I'm looking for ways to add a Children of the Atom and Serve and Protect

Dang - Now I'm definitely going to have to try this out.

@Cappster_ Let me know what you end up with. Sounds fun.
