When I saw the assigned teams included the JLA I didnt even hesitate to select them.
But as I unpacked my options I stumbled across some interesting interactions I'd never considered before. Namely, Skrull ...control?

At its heart the core interaction is simple.

Get Wolverine into play.
Flip Mutopia.

Mutopia is an outlier in team-ups, in the sense that it only cares about the affiliations of one specific mutant traited character. Wolverine, however is an outlier in the sense that he gains affiliations of all characters in play. Not YOUR characters. ALL characters.

So since we already have 2 teams going in (Skrull/JLA), a Mutopia will GUARANTEE 5 affiliations on Wolvie in this event as a bare MINIMUM (Since every opponent will also have 2 affiliations, and he comes slotted as an X-men as well!)
Oh. and we draw a card.
Once teamed up with literally EVERYTHING, Black Bolt will surge to impractical levels of dumb, Captain America will protect from stunbacks, Elektra will KO most anything she stuns, Super Skrull will be a 14/14 and Titannus will make team attackers cry like a baby as a 19/19. (you defend for each attacker so he could become Galactus-level stats on defense)
All as a starting Minimum.
Not bad at all...

But I wanted MORE.

So I opted into the complete do-it-yourself Wolverine fanboy kit.
With Healing factor, I can guarantee he'll become a 10ATK.
With Cap, I can make sure his swings wont stunback.
Toss in Muramase Blade, Berserker Rage and Adamantium Claws and this dude can Straight-up DELETE a board on turn 4 or later as an underdrop.

And that just tickles me juuuust right.

Enjoy everyone!
