I love the way that promo cards can reshape my understanding of how to play a hero, but I've noticed recently there haven't been any individual promo cards based around the shattered time lines decks. Is there a story reason that these time travelling heroes and villains would be unsuitable for promos?
Edit: Apparently Omnitron is hard to spell with autocorrect on >_<
Scholar doesn't have a promo either.
I'm definitely looking forward to an Omnitron promo. X is my favorite character, for multiple reasons.
Some Scholar love could be nice to!
I'm not saying every hero needs a promo, I just thought it was interesting that ST had no hero promos.
The key word is yet. Until Vengeance, none of the Rook City or Infernal Relics heroes had promos either.
Do we yet know what the "Title Deck" from Shattered Timelines does? Is it a tab to store all our promos? Will it come with some new ones?
*WotC
That info hasn’t been released yet.
Shattered Timelines is an older expansion. No Title Deck involved.
Title Deck comes from Wrath of the Cosmos. Unable to fulfill request at this time.
How about we all switch to using WCOS, like Paul does, instead of WotC?
Because when I read WCOS I think someone has mistyped tacos as they sound similar.
All of the base set, rook city and Infernal relics all have promos, as well as Setback, KNYFE and Captain Cosmic, so they should get some love soon. I wonder what power they give Crono, so many great directions to go with him.
Setback is the only one to have a promo card out before he was released.
There is an unnoficial Omnitron-X promo on BGG that is a lot of fun, it let's OX select a component card and have its effect apply at the end of the turn as well.
The only Chrono promo I could think of based on the knowledge we have is of when he was the sheriff of Silver Gulch. For Scholar, maybe a version of him that has lost access to the Philosopher's stone.
I’m fine with that. WotC was confusing me anyways.
If it was WCos, I could get behind that. WCOS makes me think that there are words beginning with O and S after "Cosmos"...
But I've been calling it WotC for so long now I don't think I can stop!
At the risk of being the nay sayer...there might be some heros who don't ever get promo variants. Just like there might be heros who don't get a stand alone nemesis (Bunker jumps to mind. Frighttrain seems a pretty definitive arch rival, even though his only game presence is in the V5). It might sound rediculous, but it is a real possibility. If it doesn't fit into the larger story, theres no reason for a promo for promos sake.
Omnitron-X is honestly the least likely to recieve a promo of all the heros released. Why? Because I don't see him being in the overall story long enough or consistently enough to go through any major character changes (which promos tend to represent). From what we definitly know about the story, he gets blown to pieces early during Omnitron 1, comes back sporadically now and again due to time-travel shenanigans, but meets his ultimate fate at the hands of Omnitron-IV (as shown by the Tactics comics and his incap art).
Chrono is very likely to undergo some character development. We saw art teased of a Plauge Rat looking very different with the WotC pics from that email sent out, and if that story is continuing in some fashion, you can bet Chrono's will as well.
Definitely down for that, though I agree with Silverleaf that WCos is preferable.
What if Omnitron X has a backup drive somewhere? It seems entirely within the bounds of possibility that it stashed a backup copy of itself, should something go wrong.
I still maintain that Chrono could BE Plague Rat, stuck in a time loop (despite this creating inconsistencies with the bio).
Wow, major brainfart… of course I meant WCos (or WotC or even WotCos, just to toss another option in there). Just speculating on potential additional promos, however unlikely that may be, since there will already be six promos included with this expansion.
I am looking very much forward to the storyline around Plague Rat though. From the new picture we saw a few weeks ago, I am beginning to think that RevoCorp has gotten its hands on him and harnessed him to do their bidding (similar to Spite, agent of Gloom, seems to have been steered by Gloomweaver). Reason for this is that the body-harness seems to include a collar with to little light on it, which to me suggest that the harness is under remote control.
Furthermore, since Omnitron is all about alternate timeline and time travel shenanigans, I would certainly not be surprised to see Omnitron-XI as a promo. Or even one of Omnitron IX; travelling to a later point in time than Omnitron-X and thus appearing later in the SotM-timeline.
Looking forward to what GtG have in store for us and the Multiverse!
Totally possible. He does come back from time to time even after sacrificing himself (albiet in vein) to try and stop Omnitron 1. I really feel that his major story arch (as far as SotM goes) has been told. We have his begining (omnitron 1) middle (small cameo apperances sprinkled around) and end (omnitron IV) already. Maybe something happens in those middle cameo's that warrents a promo card and side story, and thats a valid argument to make. But I don't see the evidence to suggest anything major story wise happens with him. .
