    This week's graphic: https://i.imgur.com/CInz5io.png

    And some clarification on the Mystique + Quicksilver suggestion:

    The important function of Quicksilver + Mystique is, blue feeds her board shake, his AoE, and his Idle Hands cheaper.

    Idle Hands' ability to pull big matches out of nowhere is really underrated in the 3* tier.

    You'll also have plenty of purple for Mystique's Shapeshift to provide additional control from stuns and some AP stealing.

    Red, yellow, and green will become scarce after each Infiltration, but that's okay. QS's green is nice if you happen to get some green AP, but if you don't it's no real loss.

    And of course Professor X is a good choice to help the team, even if you don't have him fully champed. All he really needs is a couple of blue covers.

    If your Melon Head is champed, chances are he'll tank blue over Mystique and QS. But, if your PX is under-covered and your 3*s are sufficiently champed, their boosted match damage might exceed Xavier's. This isn't a problem if Pietro's strongest color eclipses PX, because that creates black, which still feeds Idle Hands. Mystique can push purple ahead of blue, which isn't useless, but doesn't feed the AP engine as well as blue or black.

    Slight correction for your graphic with Mordo.  His purple isn't based on the enemies strongest but rather the enemies highest color.  It's still a niche ability to an extent, but absolutely brutal against tile-movers with a passive ability that will stockpile a color without an outlet.  For the Dark Avengers in The Hunt, this means just Daken, but it's still useful for the turn before Moonstone can fire her 11-costed red, Ares can fire his 10-costed yellow and the like, or if a color's sole user dies before they can fire an ability and leaves a big pool of AP lying around.  For Heart of Darkness, a 3/5/5 boosted Mordo can be a wave node god as you can often start the final wave by one-shotting whoever you like for 9 purple with how the AI typically collects AP for waves. 

    That aside, excellent work, as always :)
