I'm sure there are more we can nominate I'd really like to see a decent list put together it may spice up the boards a little bit :-)

Other Hero's you list will be put on my list to be used as a master nominated hero's list for 2014

I feel Ehud needs to be on there.

Added and for future reference I will plus 1 comments when I have added any nominations to the list

FTFY.

The last time this was run, multi-color heroes were distributed into the single-color categories and it was suggested that could be improved by putting them in the color that best fits with their general them (Daniel would go to green rather than white, Samuel to Gold rather than green, etc.).

I think that's the best way to do it, unless you want to have 3 1v1v1 brackets rather than 4 1v1 brackets.

I think that's the best way to do it, unless you want to have 3 1v1v1 brackets rather than 4 1v1 brackets.

May be a joke, but I'd honestly like that format.  It'd be more fun, in my opinion, to have more than just two options.  You'd have to select the 'best' of each group, and we'd have a much more interesting final.

However, that does mean that all "multi" characters (of which there are not as many, and they are generally designed for one brigade in particular as pointed out) would be thrown together, and that may not be as good...

Hrm.  I'd vote for 3 1v1v1 brackets, thinking it over

I am unsure of how to conduct an official poll on the forum but it would be cool to take a vote on how to do the bracket set ups 1v1v1 or 1v1.

I think I would also go for a 1v1v1 format

The problem with 1v1v1 brackets is the possibility of mismatches. If, say, Isaiah won green, he may win against Uriah and Priests of Christ (if the bracket was green/red/teal), but lose to Thaddeus and AUtO (if it were green/purple/silver). 1v1 works best because there will always be only one opponent, and it takes out the aspect of "Oh, he'd be in the last round if he hadn't faced him."

Wait, if they are the best, they are the best.  You got the same argument last year when certain cards lost, "they would have gotten further if not put against XYZ!"

It doesn't matter who gets paired up against who, that's the whole point, if they are good enough to move on, they'll move on.  This argument has always been silly to me

Red, Blue, Green, White, Purple, Silver, Teal, Gold

That's 8 and a multicolor "brigade" would make 9 categories.

That would be my list. Probably a lot of the discrepancies have to do with the fact that I'm a T2 player (Spy and Temple Priests are best or second best Heroes in their respective themes in T2. Probably not as much in T1).

I would suggest....

Blue:  Mark

Purple: Jonathan

White:  Mary, mother of Jesus

Reason for Gideon and David:  They are crucial to making Edict and Bravery work.  Even when I play Judges splash, AUTO/Gideon/Edict will always be the first 3 cards I add on the Judges' side.
