Galactus's Trait - My Herald As you reveal your force, you may also reveal another figure of 150 points or less to become your Herald. Then each opponent may choose a character on their force to offer up as Herald. You may then either accept an opponent's Herald, or choose your own revealed one. The chosen Herald is added to your force. Your chosen Herald possesses the Power Cosmic team ability, the Flight symbol, and modifies their combat values by +1. In addition, they can use a standard power as listed on the Herald dial. At the end of your turn, you may freely turn the Herald dial to any slot. (It can't be turned any other way.) When Galactus begins the 600 point dial you may return your Herald to your starting area on click #1.

My question is can you change your herald between matches?

As it isn't part of your force I don't see why not. Plus, since you won't be playing the same opponent I doubt your new opponent will offer up the same herald as your previous one; therefore I think yo should be able to change them at will as well.

I cannot point to an official rule, but I would say Heralds cannot be switched between rounds. My reasoning is that since feats are assigned and remain assigned to the same character through out the tournaments, and since you are basically assigning this character as Galactus Herald, then the like feats the Herald cannot be changed between rounds.

Well, when the Infinity Gauntlet was first released it had similar wording that would have allowed it to be assigned to different characters in different matches. The new PG clarified the Gauntlet and added that it must be on the same figure throughout.

Based on the current wording I would assume that you could switch heralds between matchups, unless they give it the IG treatment.

I don't see any wording that would prevent you from choosing a new Herald every match.

I would really like to see an orange ruling on this mostly because of the point I made in my first post. If you accept your opponents offer it is doubtful you will get to keep it for the other matches as he will need it back, ait is also doubtful that your new opponent will offer up the same herald. So I would assume you could switch your herald between matches.

Yeah, because your options would change every match without fail, there should be no reason you'd be locked into herald choice between different rounds.
However, I would consider that you must be consistent with your own offered herald for the duration of a tournament.

Say you bring Black Flash as your Herald. He's your "offered" Herald for the tournament. So at the beginning of each round, you would choose either Black Flash or whatever Herald your opponent offers.

Let's hope that makes sense...
