This is the list I've messed around with and really enjoyed. But I haven't seen anyone else playing the deck despite it being pretty popular in TCG for a while. Just seems strange and I'm wondering if there's something I'm missing or not understanding.
Call me a hater but Neo Spacians, Masked Heroes, Vision Heroes, Destiny Heroes, Evil Heroes, etc were all clunky or unnecessary additions to the hero archetype.
I want my Elemental Heroes to actually be based on the elements and actually be heroes.
And I think this wave of cards, plus things like A Hero Lives, Elemental Hero Prisma, and Elemental Hero Stratos were a great way to modernize the archetype past their Vanilla origins. And the card design philosophy present here is the way the archetype should have stayed.
The material cost for these old cards was surprisingly ahead of their time, while still being reminiscent of the archetypes origin. And if all hero support was made in this same vein instead of branching sub themes, hero as a deck would be less of a joke and actually have a cohesive identity.
Just my opinion, my preference for an alternative history instead of what we got.
