Yeah, the lord of hell crown incident should've been banned right away.

I was really surprised it wasn't. And what I was really surprised about was even though it ultimately was ruled legal, the judges voted against us anyway... I still don't know what's up with that.

In any case, those aren't the only herald-busters that have happened. The few I named should be enough proof of that, in addition to the ones you mentioned.

Obviously I'd prefer no amalgams, but again it could work either way. I just want you to be aware of it. In an amalgam format, the last 3-4 teams in the tourney will have amalgams capable of going rounds with Surfer or better.

Everything would be permissible. Time manip., matter manip, speed force, all of it. Auto-shields allowed pre-match but no prep. It would be insane, and awesome, because no one could complain about loopholes.

prob control?

Power Girl + Anyone....lol.

I've always been against Karen being in the High Meta class.

That's a good point. She isn't at all. Her recent clash with Supergirl should lay to rest any nagging doubts otherwise. I'll be moving her.

However, the tier thread is a rough guideline, not a rigid doctrine. Tourney hosts can and have always used discretion. I would hope she'd be banned from such a tourney regardless of her tier standing.

And imagine back when Kang was in high meta, it was a prep bomb waiting to happen. (it went off on Digi 😄 )

Huh? When? Kang has never been drafted in a tourney to my knowledge, and of course he was only high meta for a very brief time.

Really? I remember you cited "tourney experience" as one of the reasons to bump Kang to high meta.

And I tried to bump him up for about three months, I should know uhuh

I've been involved in so many tourneys, that you may just be right and I'm not remembering. But whatever. Either way it's not something that sticks in my mind, and Kang should definitely be where he is at low herald.

superman speed bytch slaps her back down.

she can be awesome, but in some instances you can just see the difference that keeps her out of top tier.

hope that doesn't derail the thread....

Oh right. Well hell, guess I was wrong earlier then. But in any case, dude's gone from high meta. A nice pickup at the time, though.

didn't really know he'd been placed in low herald. not sure i agree with that--don't see him being much above IM's more powerful versions--but yeah, we had fun with him.

I've actually entered even more tournies than you have... believe me, you aren't telling me anything new. And in the high-herald tourney we were in, have high herald teams as well as prep and short rules, you were warning that it was just going to be skyfather+ meshes but it ended up being quite down to earth.

Anyway, like I said if I do a tourney, that's what i'd like it to be... maybe someone will beat me to it.

Lol, well ok. I like down to earth. But I wasn't trying to patronize you, I know your history as well as anyone (besides yourself). Just giving my opinion. Because, really, a couple combos I named would challenge heralds. I'm not completely full of hot air.

😉

Regulated right, amalgams can be fine though. I won't belabor the point anymore, but I think we understand each other's positions.
