During the Recovery phase, not the START of the recovery phase. So if you had both her and your 4 drop stunned, you could recover her, pass pass, pay 0, target 4 drop pass and provided he does not activaate an ability, you have recovered 2 characters. Pretty good.

I think once you recover Xorn normally, you can't play his effect, because after characters recover nobody gets priority and you can't play effects.

You would have to either keep him unstunned or recover him with an effect (the X-Men happen to have a billion recovery effects), then you can put his effect on the chain.

I'm pretty sure that's how these 'pay 0' powers work

that is how they work. recovering your one 'free' guy is done in the wrap up step. the next time any player gets priority is the draw step of the next turn.

Anyway, it is a decent card...

He's a really solid card and apparently they made X men all about board control. More recovery effects, even less stunning, and of course the new Wolvering five drop. Xorn's still beefy, as he'll either force them to go after him and hope you don't have recovery cards, allowing you to manipulate your opponents attack, or just give you board advantage.

...but is it just Magneto PRETENDING to be Xorn? Dun-Dun-DUN!

Didn't you ever finish reading the xorn storyline? This is still wrong though, it should be Xorn, Kaun-Yin Xorn.

The only downfall to Xorn is that If he's stunned at the start of the recovery phase you can't use his ability.

Same with Colossus, Longshot, and 4 drop Prof. X.

Not bad for a three drop don't you think.

Good for X-men even if lacking attack considered to 3-drop Wolverine.

great recovery effect
