In my opinion, the key to playing Cyclops is realizing that he is starved for resources. The X-Jet is almost mandatory (well, it is for most X-Men decks), but I'd also consider cards like X-Gene (even if Cyclops only has 6 identity-specific events), Clarity of Purpose if you're playing Leadership, and the recent Organizational Support. Once you've taken care of resource generation, you can focus on building the rest of the deck.

I don't consider Cyclops' ability to include X-men allies from any aspect to be particularly interesting, beneficial, or worth building around. Typically, you'll want to focus on your aspect's allies anyway to get the most out of your aspect's specific resource generators (The Power of...). Alright, some allies are so powerful that you'll want to include them even if they don't belong to your aspect (Polaris, Wolverine, Psylocke, Beast), but they’ll be a couple at most.

Unfortunately, I think Cyclops remains a relatively mediocre hero, and I also think he's much better suited for Aggression decks than Leadership (as one might - and should - expect). Cards like Take That! are what really make Cyclops shine, and having a large number of allies is only beneficial with one of his signature offensive upgrades, Exploit Weakness - only 2 cards in the entire deck, not much to build around.

Personally, I house-rule Cyclops in a way that makes his Ruby Quartz Visor much more relevant, a true signature item like Wolverine's Adamantium Claws or Captain America's Shield. As Scott Summers, instead of searching for a Tactic upgrade, his Constant Training reads as follows: "Action: Search your deck and discard pile for the Ruby Quartz Visor upgrade and add it to your hand. Shuffle your deck. (Limit once per round)."

Revisiting this card now that the new Conditioning Cards are out. Each Conditioning variant adds plus 1 to its respective stat and grants 3 HP. This will help players extend the “HP as a resource” play style, especially in multiplayer where players can play the different variations on each other for even bigger health pools. Everything from the previous review still applies but I think it’s worth highlighting that this card works particularly well for high recovery heroes: Hulk, Deadpool, Wolverine, She Hulk, Venom, etc… really any hero with a recovery of 4 or higher. In terms of cost and ease of use this card probably has the highest Damage per Resource potential in the game so far.

Can I overpay this card to stun four enemies? And how does wild work here. Can I just pay with three wilds to stun three enemies? .....................................................................,......................,.....,,,....,.....………………..…..….............................................................................................

If you are not activating more than twice, I don't think this card is worth it. Two effective resources for maybe one or two extra attack. It can stay on the field while you wait for a helpful time, which is a big benefit. Quicksilver and X-23 are really the only places I would consider running this card.

Rating: C (A-D)

It can read as "heal by 1-2 each of your allies, they all attack with overkill this turn. Ignore all retaliate or forced response". In the late game you can finish the game with good tempo: at 2ER, this card will spare you 5-6 consequential damage, helping you keep the pressure on. It is the team training of aggression, without tempo issues.

Tempus can stick around for the right card to cancel while still delivering value. Shark-Girl, Sunfire will feel like cheating in the mid game, milking those low cost 2ATK allies. Wolverine, Colossus will be machines without their 2 consequential damage. Boot Camp, Brute Force and Enraged will sing. Around turn 5, this card will allow to ditch 12 to 15 damage that you wouldn't be able to do due to consequential damage or retaliate.

It finds a home in heroes that can skip the chump blocking, like Rogue, Iceman, Nightcrawler, Magneto, Storm...
