The planets in Giant Size are ####ing genius. A new level of fun for our game, brilliant idea.

How would they translate to another myth?

The only thing I am familiar enough with to form an expert opinion is Promethea. Planet cards would be the Sephiroth of the Kabbalah in that. I guess the objective would be enlightenment.

I know there have been calls for an Imperiex raid set, how would it work there? What about other comics?

Starro could get followers. Instead of planets make them characters, but not character cards. The effect could be something similar to what that character has ie Superman effect Characters protecting other characters get +2/+2. Objective Alliance players cannot take breakthrough. It takes two of the Superman/Team Superman Themes and gets them on the Follower. You can save the follower or Starro can use them as fodder for effects.

EDIT: I need a better name than follower but I cant think of one right now.

Instead of follower, maybe thrall?

Promethea would be clever, that trip up to kether was a great ride. Initiative could be based on which side of the tree each of the sephiroth is on, perhaps, with Kether, Tippereth, Malkuth (and Da'ath) maybe having coin-flips.

Since Da'ath is based in knowledge, it could require playing with your hands revealed. Since Hod has to do with language and communication, have it work like Mosaic World and allow all characters to interact as though they shared affiliations. Geburah might be an Anarchy sphere, for harsh judgment. Malkuth, as Earth, might need a blanket Only Human power.

There are definitely some fun directions to take it. The question would be, though, who are you raiding in the Promethea adventure? The end of the world?

Crisis of Infinite Earths would involve, naturally, the Infinite Earths. Similarly, a Countdown could invoke a few of the 52 realities.

A Sinestro Corps set could hypothetically have Sectors/Planets protected by various Green Lanterns.

I really want an apocalypse giant size deck and although I cant think of a planet replacement I think the deck should revolve around getting four horsemen of diffrent types out. One each of Famine Pectilence War and Death. and you could only ever control one of each version. Then Apoc could get powers based either around which you controlled or how many. There would be other non horsemen characters like Sinister and Ozymandius but I think having to manage the four horsemen as far as which effects are better while keeping four diffrent ones out would be cool.

It is a fascinating question. Maybe you are raiding God, for her secrets.

It could easily be scaled down to smaller locations for more "Earth-bound" raids. Maybe an Injustice Gang raid would be trying to take out places liek Coast City, Keystone City, Metropolis, and Gotham City. A Darkseid raid would go after Earth, New Genesis, Rann, Thanagar, etc. Starro would be trying to conquer one continent at a time. Kingpin would be going after the five boroughs, plus Hell's Kitchen. Kang would be staging attacks in the Stone Age, Bronze Age, Renaissance, Roaring Twenties, and the year 2099. It's incredibly open-ended.

Ooh, Kang's Time Attack is a great twist on the idea. Evokes some very positive Carmen Sandiego memories for me. (And she would make a hilarious raid deck, too.)

The Trials of Shazam mini that's going on right now would also give a really interesting variation. Instead of planets, you're competing over the Gods of magic, with each one giving you a trial, and each one that you win gives you a potential new power. Blanket +2 ATK to characters if you win Hercules, another free recovery if you win Apollo, etc.

The Golden Compass?

For a Starro raid deck, have effects that steal opposing characters, and the stolen characters gain the version "Mind-Controlled". Then Starro can "spend" Mind-Controlled characters the way Galactus spends capture planets.

I think this would be an interesting way to do a raid. Give Starro's deck very few characters-- all of his recruits are 1- or 2-cost army starros, and then he sacs them to steal opposing characters. So Starro doesn't get his own guys, he gets YOURS. Or you could have him searching opposing decks/KO'd piles for recruits.

Starro is definitely my vote for a DC raid. So many cool possibilities, and it would have a completely different feel than Galactus.

I believe they are called Starro Slaves. But the whole Giant Sized Starro is a great idea. I can put it next to my giant sized Starro Heroclix!!!!!

Promethea would kick Nicole Kidman's ###. Three times before breakfast.

I'm pretty sure Beak could kick Nicole Kidman's ###.

I thought Beak was Nicole Kidman

Hmmm, Nicole Kidman's A$$.... Hmmm....
