I love that Cyke's obligation is nasty in most situations... but can actually be a good thing early in the game, as it effectively lets you exhaust Scott to tutor your visor out of your deck and into you hand.
Cyclops is such a fun hero to build decks around, especially with his flexibility with allies. In fact, there are many ways for him to "cheat" his allies into play and get insane value out of them. Like imagine putting Beast into play for free with "Mutant Protectors" and then immediately fishing a double resource from your discard pile! Insane combo potential! One of my favorite heroes release in a while.
Played Cyclops and Phoenix for the first time last night and I totally agree on Full Blast, if there was even one more copy in the deck it would be crazy. Also paying for Beast with a double resource card, then grabbing it right back into your hand is pretty cool
Unfortunately that timing wouldn't work, since the double resource card is still being used when you play beast, and it is not part of your discard pile
Great video as always, but you somehow missed discussing the Leadership card included as part of the deck: Teamwork (comes with three copies), should have been right after coordinated attack...
The deckbuilding prospects of Cyclops really excite me. I think he may be the best hero to utilize all the alter-ego X-men actions. (Either him or colossus) He can kind of bring that leadership style of play to the other aspects. Can't wait to experiment with him more.
Just ran him in protection through the Mutant Genesis campaign and I found Cyclops interesting to play but I wish he was always able to shoot with his optic blasts as by the time you have gone through half your deck you can easily whiff on drawing a tactic on the alter ego side and not be able to attack the villain with anything other than a weak sauce 1 damage attack. Also why isn’t his base attack ranged? The allies of all types is only going to get better and Full Blast is incredible, but definitely some things that could have been done better. Still I’m enjoying my third favourite hero while I await Punisher haha.
What is everyone’s favorite aspect for him? I’m leaning toward Protection personally because I love the tactic upgrade for it the best out of the four and Mutant Protectors is so strong.
I love your reviews more so than other content creators for marvel champions and I think I just realized why… I hate leadership and sounds like you’re not a fan either. Lol.

This is a coop game though, so imo homebrew rules are welcome, just as long as everyone haves fun :D
Probably my favorite of the first four X-Men.
Really great overview as usual!

Finally got notified that everything is in at my FLGS. So it’s off to the store for me today.

Lost Visor can actually help early in game to get it out of your deck.
“Marked”, “Honed Technique”, “dive bomb”
I’m seeing some fun set up/crazy reward scenarios
I am enjoying him. I’m thinking about slamming Ronin in and making him a x-men. Cyclops is my favorite x-men from the comics.
Have you gotten pheonix yet? I didnt see a review in the playlist.
Pay phoenix with a cyclops card, to get it back, its a 2cost card then

I would have assumed that he would get Jean grey instead of Phoenix and she would cause confuse and deck search.
coordinated attack made you glitch it seems, its is that good :)

I think full blast just change optic blast from 3 to 8 damage, not adding 8. I might be wrong though
8 *additional* damage, not becomes 8 damage. It's 11 damage when used.
