Beginner's 300 pt. team (please help)

[Wedge Antilles]

This is my 300 pt. team. I'm new at this; please help:

Experienced Cyclops----Ranged Attack
Experienced Iceman----Ranged, Flight, and Defense
Rookie Silver Samurai--Close Combat
Unique Shadowcat------Movement
Experienced Blade------Close Combat
Experienced Mystique---Perplex
Veteran Black Cat------Probability Control
Experienced S.H.I.E.L.D. Medic--Healing, plus the ranged bonus
Veteran Thug-----------There's 10 extra points

How can I improve the team?

Looks like a fairly good team for a beginner. A few points:

1) I believe Blade has Battle Fury, so you won't be able to taxi him; to get him into position either you need a TKer or he has to move on his own.

2) If you drop Black Cat to exp, she doesn't get as much PC but she gains wildcard and frees up some points.

3) I'd drop the Thug - clear up 10 points for someone more useful like a paramedic or to upgrade another figure.

I gues what that boils down to is:
Drop V Thug
Downgrade V Black Cat to E
Downgrade U Shadowcat to E
Upgrade Samurai to E
Add E Paramedic

If I added it up right, that should give you the same cost as before, but a bit stronger.
