Diana has plenty of instances with various gear. Drafting straight Wonder Woman doesn't net you any of the extras. Just as this won't allow me to use BS like the medusa head, invisible jet, etc.
Just drafted the version of her that we wanted. No different than drafting a certain version of a character with innate powers, like specific Eradicators or Genis Vells. We're just being specific.
If it was a power issue, you guys would have a claim, but it's not, and Batdude told us to go ahead with this.
Not to mention we're not trying to sneak the Star Sapphire ring in.
She's been shown in comics to enter battle fully decked out before, and like Smurph stated, it certainly doesn't push her beyond the High Herald limit.

Then how is Skuttlebutt banned then? As BRB uses it more then WW uses her weapons.
We're just drafting from the very beginning Diana when she pulls out the heavy duty gear.
Originally posted by King KandyIt IS two versions of the same character, just as Extremis Ironman is a different version than, say, Hulkbuster Ironman.
But the character is the exact same, with the exception of loopholing out of the standard equipment rule. It's not like it's two versions of the same character, it's the same character with hand-picked nonstandard equipment.
Still falls under the spirit of the concept that powersets diverge versions of draftable characters. Just because in this case the powerset is not innate doesn't change the nature of the drafting game.

The thing is that is the standard gear for him, there isn't a time when he doesn't have Skuttlebutt and is more apart of him (As his soul is connected to it) then WW weapons, which she rarely uses.
Originally posted by -K-M-If we were drafting standard Diana, the issues would be comparable, but we're not.

Id, you're lucky I wasn't in this thing. I've never lost a quick-draw draft scenario. I wish I had that sh*t cataloged, but I have to be at least 4-0 in them. My favorite was when I had posted before the thread starter's page had loaded after creating the thread, so he never actually saw his thread without a post.
Though I probably wouldn't have been after Surfer, so meh.
And thank god Loki's being used. No clue what they'll do with him, but I've always wanted to see him used well. God knows I sure didn't in my first tourney (Zod, Loki, and Apollo for a semi-finals berth though, so I was overachieveing like mad).
