Wow! I new Cable was going to get an 8 Drop, but not one this powerful. But what really has me excited is Bosom Buddies as if I needed anymore of a reason for a Cable/Deadpool deck. Top notch preview!
Cable
Mutant Messiah
8 Drop
20/20 Range Visible
X-force
Shift
When Cable enters play, for each opposing character, exhaust it unless
its controller pays 4 endurance.
Rare
Bosom Buddies
3 Cost Plot
Two target X-force attackers you control get +3 ATK. If those
attackers are cable and deadpool, ready them, and they can't be
stunned this attack.
Common
As far as I'm concerned, anything that makes your opponent have to pay END that late in the game is a powerful effect. 8-drop The Demon caused some serious headaches back in the day. In the case of Cable, he's exhausting potential reinforces and attackers all over the place.
If you've got a Domino in the hidden are already, and can dig up a single Blind Sided, you can put your 20/20 8-drop through whoever's attackable, and Domino can nuke any plot twists they try to stop you with. Especially viable if you've just played a Techno-Organic Virus.

And the feel I get from this set is that most games will reach the late turns.
finally a really good 8 drop for x-stall that can finish things and not go to 9 for onslaught. i wonder why he doesn't have flight and his 6 drop version does.
bosom buddies, the art looks great, and now i cant wait to see what deadpools they come up with.
Best part about 8-drop Cable: if your opponent pays the 4 endurance, just Providence him out and then right back again to make them pay it twice. And if they do, you Slide him out so they need to pay again at the start of your attack step. :D
It's so obvious. It's cause he's carrying the baby.
Poorly, I'll add. You can't put a kid that small in a carrier/harness like that, facing forward. They need to be strong enough to properly support their neck. Bah for bad substitute parenting/caregiving!
Bosom Buddies is awesome - and I mean that more from a card-design view.
Dual-Legend-Stamping for characters of which previous versions have been printed. :)
I just hope X-Force has a Hail Hydra! style team-up so that 2-Drop Unaligned Deadpool might seem some action as well somewhere. ... not that I'd necessarily play with him - I just like seeing its use being encouraged.

The baby's not small, Cable's just the size of a Winnebago. If he put YOU in that carrier, you'd still only be the size of his torso.
maybe we will have a cable/deadpool deck in the style of Worlds Finest?
By all that is good and shiny I hope so.
With a Deadpool Legend plot twist called "I can't believe this worked"
that stuns all Wolverines in play, and art of a piano hovering over a big red X.
Or, alternatively, anything that lets a Cable/Deadpool deck have some form of resistance to non interactive rush scumbaggery.
Cable is amazing. He looks at Energize and says so you want to stall? Fine then I'll stall with you. I really like seeing shift in other teams and not just on Exiles and Weapon X. Hopefully we get a few other ones here and there.
Bosom Buddies is really nice card. Even better it's a common. At Their Finest was good but it didn't let you attack twice or more it also didn't prevent your guys from becoming stunned. Guess The Captain is going to pull double shifts filling in the hole of the missing character for this one, though he's gonna need help from teamups to pull ths one off. Perhaps SRA?
I hoped to see more of the combat PT in store for the team and less characters but I really like X-Force. Really wanted to see some of the old team characters though.
Very solid 8-drop Cable. That late in the game, it's pretty doubtful your opponent will have much endurance to pay, and if they do, 4 endurance per character could very likely be a significant chunk. Add to this that this is Cable, who we've seen support cards to remove him from play and back again, retriggering his enters play ability. Another 8 drop that pretty much guarantees you the game if you make it that far, though there are some counters to him, such as JSA's Rock of Eternity, or decks that don't rely on attacking. And Shift seems like something pretty handy to have on as high a drop as 8. Can start paying for him earlier for a devastating late game. And as the article mentioned, you could actually shift in a turn early if you use Silver Surfer, Zen-Lavian.
Bosum Buddies is very cool to see! Nice to see some Dual-Legend stuff between Cable and Deadpool. And +6 ATK to team attackers in any case wouldn't be too shabby. But when it's Cable and Deadpool, they get the added bonus of not being stunned back and readying to attack again. With decent attack stats on Cable and Deadpool and the added +6 ATK, this card could very easily mean a free stun on your attack step. That's pretty awesome! And it's nice that it isn't totally useless if you haven't specifically gotten Cable and Deadpool out together.
