Cable has always been one of my favorite characters from MvC2. Because he’s cheap.

Cable
Nathan Summers
X-Men/3/5/4
Range
When Cable enters play, target opponent loses 1 endurance for each X-Men character you control.

A quick burn. That’s it.

Unless you’re playing a straight up burn deck with this, many weenie X-Men, and Bodyslides, this card is only average. However, the combo potential is there. And it could get nerve-wracking.

In Sealed, it’s iffy. Unless you also pull Bodyslide. But I guess a 5/4 3 drop is still a good 3 drop.

Sealed: 2/5
Constructed: 3/5

Tsk, tsk. Cable should be a better card…

"Well if it isn't Nathan Christopher Dayspring Askani'son Summers... or are you just calling yourself Priscilla now?"

-Deadpool (Cable and Deadpool #1)

           

Cable <> Nathan Summers: Cost 3: 5/4: Range: X-Men

 

When Priscilla Cable enters play target opponent loses 1 endurance for every X-Men character you control.

 

(Note: Having Cable on the field also lets you use “Bodyslide”).

 

(Bodyslide: Plot Twist: Cost 3

 

Play only if you control Cable.

                                                    

Remove target non-stunned character you control from the game. Its owner puts it into play at the start of your next attack step.)

 

Cable’s burn effect obviously lends itself to swarm decks. And the idea of re-using it via Bodyslide and/or via multiple copies of Cable is readily apparent, if not exactly as cunning as a fox who's just been appointed Professor of Cunning at Oxford University.

 

Blackadder references aside, I’ve not seen a great deck that uses Cable.

 

I have however seen plenty of decks which hinge on Bodyslide and include Cable purely to enable its use.

 

And that pretty much sums up Cable. Whether he is good or not, the decks he is used in don’t work without him. 

 

Sealed: 3

Constructed: 4
