she could turn into anyone in a crowd of people. the only way cyke could come close to killing her is opening up with a wide optic blast and sawing down the whole crowd.
All Mystique has to do is step aside and change form and Cyke is helpless against her.
She could even get by a telepath that way.
If he/she isn't intentionally scanning the "person" Mystigue looks like theres no way he'd know it was her.

Do they start out seeing each other?If not, then Mystique could probably turn into Emma, get up close to Scott, and just backstab him. Otherwise, she's toast.
She has metamorphed in front of trained soldiers and still managed to fool them. Of course, Cyclops is already familiar with her, so stealth is key for Mystique to win this (she could easily camouflage herself to be nearly invisible).
