Looking at the 2 incoming sets, I see at least 3 cards I wouldn't mind seeing get the first ballot treatment.... what do y'all think?

As for older cards, what would you like to see get inducted this year?

Discuss!

I'm seeing Provoke Interstellar Incident, Torga IV, Strained Negotiations and Adopted Authority as potential 1st ballot retirees. Nothing else is jumping out, but I haven't looked to see if we produced any promos that year that could be retired.

Maggie got 2 out of my 3. I didn't have Torga IV (though I'm very open to voting for it).

My third was Preposterous Plan and the complete nonsense it enables with [TNG] decks. I'll be happy to vote for it and even happier if it gets its gold jacket this year.

I actually think that Hajur (or was the last standalone promo card the CC made, so now ALL standalone promo are eligible (though with Surprise Party retired, I'd be a bit surprised if any others got in... MAAAAAAYBE Indebtedness, but even that seems like a stretch)

Nope, Miramanee was the last one.

Ah. Fair enough. I stand corrected.

So standalone promos will be a going concern in HoF until *at least* 2027. Probably longer unless a bunch of people decide to get cute... :shifty:

The countdown continues! 10 days from now the nomination window will be officially open!

While we're waiting, and while people are visiting family, eating lots of delicious food, drinking copious amounts of Egg Nog, and generally having a good time, let's discuss HoF!

I know there's a few cards already mentioned upthread, but what other cards are you hoping to see get retired this year? Why? What affiliations/ factions need some reining in? What decks are you eager to build and just need another gold jacket or two to be awarded to make it happen?

I know people are busy with all of the above stuff and more, but when you need a break from the festivities, feel free to jump in and discuss the upcoming class and what you'd like to see!

In the meantime, I hope everybody has a great Christmas, Hannukah, Festivus, Kwanzaa, Boxing Day, and any other holiday I may have missed!

In addition to the candidates from the new sets, I'll be looking at which affiliations have been particularly focused on already on the HoF ban list, and what affiliations could use some attention instead. After all, what's the point of a format that limits OP if some affiliations/factions aren't hit in a balanced way. At first glance, Dominion (even after last year) and Klingon might be two places I'm looking more closely. In particular, I'll be looking at what cards P&O/event destroy are still out there that haven't made it yet.
