Gomer
Uzzah
Amalekite's Slave
Nebuchadnezzar
King Belshazzar
Leviathan
King of Tyrus
Haman's Plot
Belshazzar's Banquet
Nebuchadnezzar's Pride


Add Nebushadan at your pleasure. King of Tyrus is iffy, as crazy as that is.

So now people are using Nebby two years after I was ranting about he was the best EC in the game :(.

Gomer can band to my opponent's defense (since no one will play Wall due to Goliath Threats). King of Tyrus is definately iffy, but if he's the first EC your draw, chances are he can get an early cheap block. He can also negate annoying protect from capture or banding heros.

I figured that was pretty obvious, but yeah, I should have mentioned it.

Also, this defense assumes you are not using a Genesis offense.

As sad as it is, this defense is probably better than most single color 7/7 or 8/8 defense splits. That's kinda pathetic.

If you get to lategame with a defense like that, you'll probably already have lost.

I probably wouldn't use Nebby's Pride, since it can be interrupted. Interruptable battle-winning EEs ftl.

its probably one of the best utility evil enhancements in the game. interrupt, battle winner, hard to protect from, good numbers, non with nebby, searchable with nebby.

I agree, I just have a hard time thinking of an EE as being worth the slot when most offenses either have ways to make their battle winners CBI/N, or they have ItBWinners themselves. I would definitely agree that it's probably the single best negatable EE in the game.

If you're looking for the smallest and most efficient defense possible, this is probably about as good as it gets. Not a whole lot of fun though...

The absolute best small defense is Dreaming Pharaoh, Cupbearer, Baker, Magicians, Warden, Horses, Swift Horses, Wonders Forgotten, Failed Objective.
I am not talking about T2 unless I am explicitly talking about T2. Also Mayhem is fine now somehow!

You forgot invoking terror.

Nope, because it only specifies they are the Wisemen from the verse, not the Magicians.

What are you going to do against the Centurion at Calvary, again? I think he negates every one of your plays.
