I just thought I'd share this very fun and surprisingly competitive X-Men deck I've been playing. The goal is to use the recovery effects to help you survive until a turn 6 initiative, where you want to swing once with Cannonball and a plot twist, swing with Cyclops to ready him, then swing again with Cannonball. That's usually good for 35+ in damage right there. The Jean Grey/Splintering Consciousness draw engine usually nets you some extra cards, and the X-Men Assembles make the recovery effects sweeter.

Looks good, hoops!

My X-Men build is very close to yours... I do run Wolverine, Secret Avenger as my main 5-drop, though. A single copy of Nightcrawler on four is good tech as well... he loves some Multiple Man/2-drop Exiles characters.
