Mystique's effect & special

[sol]

I recently got Mystique which has the effect(the thing on the back) "Possess" If you have another Brotherhood figure in play, as an attack you may take control of a figure Mystique is touching. Then remove Mystique from the game". Very powerful; I used this special against my opponent. Moved mystique up to an AT-RT, had Pyro, and possesed it. Do you think this is legal as well as cheap?

[YodaBreaker]

Cheap, legal, and oh so satisfying Your opponent should have either picked off Mystique or Pyro ;D

[turbomagnus]

Perfectly legal and the perfect example of the 'tacktix' (tactics) part of Attacktix, I'd say.

[Cona Chris]

Nothing cheap at all about it. Your opponent should have gunned her (or Pyro) down before Mystique got within 1 foot of the AT-RT.

In the almost two years that I've been playing and all matches, I've never taken over a Mega due to Capture, Mystique, or the Emperor. That must have been extremely fun to do!!!

[superflytnt]

Ah, the sweet taste of victory. Anyone dumb or unskilled enough to allow you to steal their Mega had it coming and deserved the throttling you handed them. I have to say, I had this done to me in a 400 point (with an additional 2 megas per team) match once, and it didn't force me to lose, but it certainly did hurt me quite a bit! The sad part is that it took me 2 shots to knock off old Empy, and when I did finally pick him off, he fell off, taking my ATRT with him, which fell onto 2 Obi Wans, one of which was black.

All in all, it was a very bad day for me, and a great strategy by my opponent!

I've only played against 2 Mystiques once and I gunned them both down first turn. Your opponent should have tried the same, their not very sturdy, a dribbling force blast easily killed one.

I havent bought much marvel boosters but I already own all 3 brotherhood figs And with mystiques effect and 2 other figs she is a very valubale peice in my squad, and she can also be sacraficed to bring back magneto.

oops my bad thanks for pointing that out I forgot about starter sets

Okay then, does any one understand her "swap" special? Since it has the word 'replace', I thought of it similar to sacrifice special. So would a figure from your opponent's backups be yours but you'd have to put ur Mystique in their backups?

I don't believe you would place Mystique among your opponent's backups; you merely remove her figure from play.

Yes, I was under that impression to. Your opponent loses a back-up and Mystique "becomes" that figure.

*with an annoying loud voice* JOE, WHERE ARE YOU?

[drillpogodrill]

I actually like the idea of putting her in the other player's backups... she did have a habit of switching loyalties a lot, in both the comics and the movie series.
