With purple at five you have a near guarantee to get two match fives - of which one crit tile can usually be manipulated to match on cascade, then you match the other. Thats a TON of damage. I put red at 5 because its an insane amount of damage, and the AP it gains is a big deal. Also, I usually pair MNMags with Cstorm, who has a significantly better blue.

But the problem is that it takes 4 turns to activate making it very vulnerable to be matched and just waste your aps 3/5/5 - I really cant see much use on having a 5 red, since it only expands the 3x3 block to a 5x5 block, but at a cost of +3 red aps, that doesnt seem like a good idea. 4/5/4 - Appears to be the best choice, only problem is that 5 blue is way better than 4 blue, since it clears the entire board and you dont risk wasting that many blue aps on a relatively wasted corner countdown 5/4/4 - This could be a good way out of the afore mentioned issues, but do I REALLY want to give up on generating 5 blue aps and sticking to only 4? so yeah, I know I prob havent helped much, but I would appreciate your guys help on solving this dilemma. I currently have a 5/4/4 and a red and purple cover waiting to be recruited (first one expires in 3 days) Let me know what you guys think!

While it doesn't clear the entire board it does a fair chunk of it and the tiles aren't as vulnerable so it's more likely to actually go off. And 5 red is great because it gains alot of ap when successful, however I have found the cost to be too high to get it off most matches. as well as only have 3 blue makes his blue completely useless. While you can place multiple blue tiles down that do off quickly it doesn't get enough of the board to be useful

If blue is the same for OBW & CStorm place OBW either in lead (center position) or secondary position (left) with CStorm in third spot (right) Since blue is MNMagneto's primary color he'll have to be under levelled to avoid going past OBW to maintain her espionage advantage.
