The Professor has a dream. I have a plan. As Charles Xaviers first student, nobody is more dedicated to the Professors dream of peaceful coexistence than Scott Summers, better known as the hero Cyclops. Armed with powerful optic beams and tactical genius, Cyclops leads his fellow X-Men on their missions as a brilliant field commander. Fantasy Flight Games is proud to announce theCyclops Hero PackforMarvel Champions: The Card Game! This commander of the X-Men blasts his way into battle with this expansion pack, which introduces Cyclops as a new playable hero along with his fifteen signature cards. With a pre-built Leadership deck ready to play from the get-go, youll be able to lead the X-Mens charge into battle from the moment you open the box. With his powerful optic blasts and tactical brilliance, Cyclops is a natural leader and a fantastic addition to any team. Field Commander As a renowned leader of the X-Men, it makes sense that Cyclops would be a master of teamwork, and his playstyle absolutely reflects this. Right off the bat,Scott Summers(Cyclops, 1A) can includeX-Menallies from any aspect in his deck. It doesnt matter what aspect you choose to play with; you can always take your favoriteX-Menallies with you against any foe. Aside from that, Scotts Constant Training lets him search his deck for aTacticupgrade, which plays off the ability of his hero form. AsCyclops(Cyclops, 1B), he is armed with a powerful Optic Blast, which lets him deal 3 damage to an enemy with an upgrade attached to it once per round. See where this is going?Tacticupgrades likeExploit Weakness(Cyclops, 5),Practiced Defense(Cyclops, 6), andPriority Target(Cyclops, 7) all attach to enemies, letting you mark a target for your Optic Blasts while also providing effects for your allies and fellow heroes to take advantage of. Use your position asField Commander(Cyclops, 4) to ensure that you attach aTacticupgrade to an enemy before anyone else takes their turn, especially since the temporary keyword makes the upgrades discard themselves at the end of the round. Enhance your Optic Blasts with yourRuby Quartz Visor(Cyclops, 3), then devastate a target with aFull Blast(Cyclops, 8). If you find yourself running low onTacticupgrades, then turn to yourTactical Brilliance(Cyclops, 10) to pull one out of your discard pile and keep your momentum going. In line with his focus on teamwork and position as commander, Cyclops enters the fray with a pre-built Leadership deck that gives him even more strategic options. Take command of allies likeBeast(Cyclops, 11) andDust(Cyclops, 12) and put them through someDanger Room Training(Cyclops, 15) to bolster their strength, then launch aCoordinated Attack(Cyclops, 16) against a tough minion, which you can finish off with an Optic Blast! UtilizeEffective Leadership(Cyclops, 18) andTeamwork(Cyclops, 17) to get the job done, then head back to theDanger Room(Cyclops, 21) to train up some new recruits. WithUtopia(Cyclops,20) serving as your base of operations, Cyclops is sure to lead your team to victory!
