Colossus and the 5 X-Men in the KO Pile
by Paul Young edinanazgul@aol.com

Colossus will have a 16 ATK for 6 resources if you can get 5 X-Men into the KO pile in time. I've analyzed the cards to come up with this scenario:

1-resource: FORGE lets you discard a card to get an equipment AND it gets back inot hand be discarded itself, later
2-resource: X-CORPORATION location: gain 4 endurance by discarding an X-men
character
2-resource: CEREBRO location: Gather X-men from top of deck and discard
excess locations or more X-Men
3-resource: WOLVERINE LOGAN: reinforce him by discarding excess Wolverine cards
4-resource: ROGUE: Power Absorb another ability involving discards, if any
4-resource: GAMBIT: The opponent may have a 3-cost out there for you to stun
by simply discarding an X-Men card
4-resource: FLAME TRAP: If the opponent has a slew of 2 and 1-cost -this stuns them all while you get the cards into the pile
6-resource: COLOSSUS Peter Rasputin -by now your hand may be empty but a Forge may have gotten an Unstable Molecules for adding to him for Defense.
