Just wait a month, and we'll have March Madness and April Fools.  Then we'll really find out.

I know a garentied block is awsome but should a 1 and only 1 block character really be considered the best in the game?

(and he takes 2 card slots to work)

In no particular order:
Angel Under the Oak
Moses
Watchful Servant
Susanna
King Amazing
---------
Seven Wicked Spirits
Uzzah
KoT (gold)
Goliath
King Omri


I'm interested to see how well Thad does this year
Right now I have him as the fifth ranked purple hero. I think. He might be lower. He was overrated last year too. Susy deserved to win.

The reason Uzzah is so good is that he's an autoblock character, and really one card, since you aren't specifically putting in an artifact to discard with him, as well as being CBInterrupted.

Well let's see. The highest placed deck that was disciples was Andrew's and he was running his Trolololol deck more so after that I don't know who had the highest deck but notice 1st and second were both TGT I believe. Matt with hie Red/White and John with his straight TGT deck (This I think I'm right on) and henceforth why Susanna is better.

 Type one bias skewed the results.



EDIT: Not that that is a bad thing, it is more accurate in someways because type one is most popular.

If Gomer makes several of these top 5 lists and gets a lot of attention why doesn't anyone care about Spirit of Temptation? What makes Gomer so mutch better?

Gomer has access to much better enhancements than SoT, like Haman's Plot & Image of Jealousy. Plus, she can band to KoT.

My original list-
Ahimelek or Jephthah
Susanna or Mary, Mother of James
Eve or Jacob
The Strong Angel or Captain of the Host
Phineas
Thaddeus or ET
Watchful Servant or Israelite Archer
Joseph or Isaiah
Gabriel (wa) or Michael- ki or aw

Top 5
Jephthah
Isaiah
Gabriel
Susanna
Jacob

EC's are too biased, IMO.
But...
Spirit of Temptation
Gomer
Wandering Spirit
King of Tyrus
Goliath

Because he basically single handedly beats the most common defense around.

Hmmm didn't think about discarding two ecs being so handy haha.

He becomes even better when you pair him with Suzzy. Oh what's that I have to discard the top card of my deck to use his ability? well I guess it's a good thing I just used suzzy to put a lost soul on top. It doesn't say put it in play if it's a lost soul so I just discarded a lost soul and 2 of your evil characters.

Suzzy puts cards on bottom Lp.... so that wouldn't quite work.

Divination

Divination

that would do it. I think there's actually a few cards that could make that combo work. but let's put it this way, put this guy divination and suzzy in the same deck, and the negator lost soul (no hopper) and you could make your opponent pretty mad. start with 7 souls, bury one, SOG/NJ 2, and use this guys ability on another you now have 3 souls for your opponent to rescue. Use suzzy to keep putting it on bottom and go nice and slow. You might now win but you can troll your opponent.

Only global mods can post polls. Otherwise I already would have started the nominations. I have most of my nominations picked already. I was going to PM Bryon about it, but since he posted on this thread already, I would assume he would have done something by now.

Once a year, everyone votes on the best Heroes/ECs in the game. It has its own board here:

I'm running the nominations and Bryon is doing it afterwards; we've got it covered, sorry.

Chronic Apathy is running the nominations for best heroes in each brigade this year.  We will put multi-colored heroes into any brigade that they have.  They can be nominated in multiple brigades, but will only be included once in the whole bracket - in the brigade in which they are ranked the highest.  In the last couple days of February, the nominations will be counted, and the top 8 nominees in each brigade will be posted, ranked 1 to 8 based on the number of times each was nominated.  On or around March 1, I will use the final lists posted by Chronic Apathy to post 4 head-to-head polls for each brigade.  I will be a total of 32 polls representing 64 heroes.

In April, hopefully, Jordan will run his poll for "The April Fools" (best ECs).  In that poll, multi-colored Evil Characters get their own category (to make a total of 8 groups of 8).
