Get her out and cycle your basic action dice. Rare Bishop will negate her ability

Kitty Pride: Madam Headmistress 4

Kitty Pryde cannot be blocked when attacking alone

Unblockable does great in draft format. Bring something to buff her

The Blackbird: SR-71 3

Make your opponent save energy or catch them without any to swing in for the win. X-Men team only

Great against opponents that use Action Dice (and a lot do in drafts)

Until the start of your next turn, when a character die takes damage, KO that character die.

Lots of options in this set to deal 1 damage to all opposing characters; good board clear
