Title: Rd 1 Blue (2 Jaocb vs 7 Benjamin)

2. Jacob
6/5 Blue (Patriarch)
May band to a silver brigade Hero, or you may play a Genesis Enhancement.

Versus

7. Benjamin
1/1 Blue (Son of Jacob)
If all of your human Heroes in play are Genesis Heroes, Genesis Enhancements cannot be negated. Otherwise, discard Benjamin after battle.

Not really sure how Ben ended up so low, but he is simply outclassed by dad here.  Play-first RTC is sickening, and the banding combos Jacob can do otherwise are equally nauseating.

Vote: Jacob

Yeah, I guess Benjamin kinda got a rough first round opponent because Jacob is pretty sweet. While I think Benjamin is awesome in a straight Genesis deck, he's pretty pointless in a deck if less than half of your heroes are Genesis, whereas Jacob on the other hand can be splashed into pretty much any deck.

Let's see, a hero who splashes easily into many decks, and is still an essential part to a deck that just plays his theme straight vs a hero that can only be played in one theme and is second-best at what he does in that theme (joseph is better at the initiative gaining, CBN enhancement playing role).

Yeah gonna have to go with Jacob.
