You've got a bet. They won't be exclusivley Heralds, but there will be more than two that have never been seen.

Question.

Would these be considered three seperate archetypes? Would they be considered "new" enough?

1. Longshot, Doom-3 and army, The Enemy Within.

2. The Enemy Within, Doom KO, aggro.

3. Doom Control, half old and half new, no Common Enemy.

i would hope a few decks at la would be brand new stuff but im also sure many people will run the usual titans,hv, and such.

I see you've already started by restating my position for me. Again: two primarily Heralds-based new archetypes, probably two or three more "new" decktypes (as in, they already existed, but they weren't competitive yet) that are enabled by a given card within Heralds to the point of effectiveness.

I have no idea on the first; I'd have to see the build - although it just sounds like a Doom aggro deck that floods the field in a different way than others (there are lots of ways to do it). The second, yes, it's Doom aggro, which didn't really exist prior to Heralds. Doom Control has been around since Origins, it's not a new decktype.

State it however you want, there will be more than two that are primarily Heralds... but how many cards determines "primarily"? 51 percent?

I'd say two-thirds.

So the Hide Johnny Shadowpact Infi endurance deck is not eligible?

Okay.

Wow...how'd I miss that one?....care to share?

It's around here somewhere. Find Latuki Joe.

I found you.

the deck thread is here .

it looks fun.
haven't tested it myself though.

Much obliged.

Just a general question, "Hide Johnny" doesn't really sound right... he is the Invisible Man.

Maybe "Now you see him, now you don't" or "Gone in a Flash".

I see Doom army/ Manhunter/ Longshot blitz FTW!!!!!!!! at any future PC from this day forward.

Under, by-the-by.

Doomstat

Squad with Gems...

I wasn't exactly trying to name the deck, but if it sticks I'll totally take credit for it. :)

P.S. Heard about that wicked Hide Johnny deck?
