Post by: stefferweffer on April 03, 2012, 03:49:13 PM: Does no one use these ECs anymore? This surprised me.

I don't know anyone that ever used Haman (nobody in my area uses/used Persians that I know of).

He actually might be useful against some Sam decks.

Even better would be pulling off Zeresh Advises Haman against a Sam deck.
