mystique is not an xman. this is xmen we are talking about not Avengers or GOTG. the movies don't define xmen characters since the movie are not what made X-Men the legendary IP it is today, the movies like the cartoons or games just expanded on the xmen lore but will never be seen as the core of the lore.
regardless of the mystique push in the movies because of JLAW. She will always been seen as a messed up brotherhood leading pure villain or anti hero. she will never be seen as an xman. the same way rogue will never be seen as an avenger.
now if you do a list of essential xmen villains, Mystique will score high there as well but not mostly because of the movies but because of all her bad criminal behavior and bad parenting in he comics though the movies may give her a little push but not by any impactful margin.

Doctor Strange: "You are the right person to replace Logan."
X-23: "I know there are people who disapprove... Guys on the Internet mainly."

Rogue, Mystique and Juggernaut maybe?

Like movies or don't like them but movie affects popularity of characters. I don't like x-men team movies but I understand that popularity of Magneto and Mystique was increased thanks to movies."these" aren't movies. These are comics with movie, cartoon and videogame adaptations. That they get poorly adapted shouldn't denounce any character's X-Men status nor elevate anyone else's.

Last time Magneto wasn’t a main character in an ongoing team book was the start of Fraction’s run.
1. Prof. Xavier
2. Cyclops

11. Beast
12. Kitty
Tho very popular, I don't think I'll lump Magneto into the list of Top X-Men. He's certainly an A list mutant. But not as an X-man.
Honestly, I'd cut Prof X (never an active X-Man), Kitty and Magneto (who generally has more of an antagonistic role), subbing them in for Iceman, Rogue, Gambit, Psylocke, Angel and Beast
Just cause this seems to be a hang up for people: i don’t believe you need to be a member of an X-Men strikeforce to be considered “brand essential”. Like everything great about X-Men, it’s about choices, and characters that represent paths defined by choice.
Rogue isn’t a top 12 because she was a Blue team powerhouse, but because she considered her mutation an illness, turned from exploitation to heroism, accepted her powers, and became a high profile mutant hero. Her story arc is portrayed as a seminal one in X-Men canon.

Cyclops
Jean Grey

Wolverine
Storm
Nightcrawler

Rogue
Gambit
Emma Frost
Colossus could replace Gambit, but I'd stay with Gambit.
I was trying to do too much and not doing any of it as well as I could. But I've had a change of mind... though not everyone shall enjoy it. I will.
