kir anyone?
It's great, but not the best, because of how situational it is. It's essential nothing more than an easier T2 CTB counter.

I'm a big fan of the Kir reprint, but I'm biased because it was my suggestion.  It also works if you're forced to use an opponent's EC in a side battle.

My favorite card in the new set is Mayhem.  It's so amazing in so many situations.

1. Gates of Hell (I can't wait to see someone use this to it's full potential...)
2. Herod Agrippa II (I have my reasons)  ;)
3. Enchanter (come one... three brigades?) Generic? Holy crap...
4. Mayhem (stops speed and combo decks, both of which I hate playing)
5. High Places (almost every evil brigade can use this)

How does enchanter have/use three brigades? He is only one brigade and he can't use any others.

He must have been thinking of Users of Curious Arts which can use Pale Green, Orange and another brigade.

1. Gates of Hell
2. Gates of Hell
3. Gates of Hell
4. Gates of Hell
5. Darius' Decree

Really, Gates is going to get eratta'd pretty quick this tournament season.
I am not talking about T2 unless I am explicitly talking about T2. Also Mayhem is fine now somehow!

I have wanted Site-guard and similar cards to be worth playing for a while, so High Places is probably my single favorite card.

I also like all the gold defense cards, because I collaborated highly with Bryon to mix my withdrawal with his capture and deck discard, and I have an inflated sense of self-importance.

I also like the Arts and Forts in this set because it's pretty clear that most of them were designed to work with a specific strategy (e.g. High Places with orange and/or pale demons, Water Jar with gold fishing decks, etc), but are very versatile and make a nice splash in a lot of other decks as well.

It's gotta be Darius Decree (mass set asides are now dead in the water), followed by High Places and Gates of Hell.

1. Mayhem -- "Lost soul generation is very important in Redemption"
2. Dairus' Decree -- "Stops set-asides, Jacob, ET, Good Territory Ehancements, Weapon class enhancements, Hidden Treasures"
3. Gomer -- "Brown CBN banding, play Gib Trick while banding to a FbtN character or character with D2-playnext. Or play Haman's Plot"
4. Samaritan Water Jar -- "From a Type-2 standpoint, this card is great. Set aside 9 cards, wow."
5. Nebuchadnezzar -- "Also from a type-2 standpoint, it's a great card. Can search for any Crimson OT enhancement, CBN, and can add to battle."

Just my opinion. Gates of Hell is nice, as is High Places, but I think a defense based around it would not work consistently enough for it to be able to win a higher up tournament.

Lawful, you can still use enhancements in battle with Darius' decree. It doesn't stop cards like ET and Jacob.

Also, I now am adding stalks of flax to my list. I don't think people realize how awesome this card is...
