MID-HERALD TOURNAMENT DISCUSSION

So if a character can consciously tap into his power source to amp his power up like Captain Atom, is that banned too?

Exactly, but one is powers amping and the other is material amping.

So is one acceptable?

Same as Abhilegend's question: your power isn't growing after amalgamation, even if the power is within you to access. That's not to say that you don't have reserves that are then stripped of your character like say Captain Atom. He just can't go past what he's shown on-panel within the draft cap. He can't turn into Monarch

Just don't amp.

K, I'm drafting:

Beta Ray Bill - Mid Herald

Magik - Low Herald
http://www.comicvine.com/magik/4005-8303/

Invisible Boy - Low Herald
http://marvel.wikia.com/wiki/Heralds_of_Galactus_(Earth-616)

I couldn't find a proper bio for Johnny Storm's Invisible Boy identity, but here's a respect thread that somebody on Reddit made.

I'm going to go write a midterm, so I'll tune in later in case there are questions.

If you're using three people you can't draft from the mid Herald range (I think)

Also BRB must be high Herald.

We can discuss BRB though. I basically see him as the upper cap of Mid Herald, but being clearly inferior in breadth and depth of feats than Thor.

Yeah, BRB has been a heavily-discussed character for years in the tiers thread. But just bc his potential is the same as Thor's doesn't put him in the same tier. I'm on the fence, but the votes that took place on him were fairly clear for mid herald.

We clarified in the first few pages: you can draft either 2 mid heralds, or 1 mid herald and 2 lower-than-mid.

Ok, must have missed that.

Sorry for the confusion.

Since it was hazy and since I was tossing the idea around, might as well allow a team of 3 even if you have a mid-herald as a part of it, but no more than 1. Some of the draft ideas had that same idea so it's my fault

To reiterate: you can have an amalgam or team of 3 characters, but only consisting of 1 mid-herald, if you want 2 mid-heralds you only get an amalgam or team of 2 characters

PG, what's the sitch with Vulcan?

Vulcan goes to the person who drafted him DURING the draft period, not before

Poor LoB.

Carver, hope the amping has helped you!

No unlocking, so I cant draft Martian Manhunter and Human Torch for Fernus the Burning.

From what I can understand, in Abhis example, he doesn't become Monarch. Just Cap, but now with telepathic powers and whatever Starhawk can do.

Scoob will be Juggy, but with Vulcan's powers.

You have Doom, plus Wondy. No offence, but that is a hell of a combo. You should be pretty damn confident of having a good chance here.

Drafts are still running, right, I understood my low/mid limitations wrong and was waiting on the Vulcan issue clearing up

Yah. It goes on for another 10 hours from my current post.

Swapping Fantomex for Makkari.

As Chuck is Low, doesn't that make her High?

^ verily

Which is why I asked, but apparently HH telepaths are allowed...

Can someone compile a list of currently drafted characters. I'm too lazy/tired to do it

PG, ruling on Vulcan... I need to know if I'm adding a third character or replacing my second.

Were you the one that drafted him during the draft period? If so then you have a third character. Was there another question about Vulcan or..?

Just checked back. LoB tried to reserve him, was told you can't reserve characters, then never actually drafted him...

Seems he's still arguing for Absorbing Man.

😂

It all depends on the legality of this:

Absorbing Man http://www.comicvine.com/absorbing-man/4005-1779/

I reserve VULCAN in the IMPOSSIBLE event that I am denied Creel.

I didn't know about this until after I thought I drafted Vulcan... if LOB really wants him I can redraft, but it's late here. I'll need until tomorrow, probably.

Technically, he lost Absorbing man the first second of the draft so that battle was lost, it comes down to honoring the reserve thing or not and if you are willing to compromise.

LoB can have him and you get an as to be determined extension unless you have something in mind as of now
