Title: Rd 1 Blue (4 Ehud vs 5 Simeon)
Post by: jbeers285 on March 06, 2014, 05:25:20 PM: 4. Ehud
7/4 Blue (Judge)
Ehud may choose a male, human Evil Character from opponent's territory to block. Wall of Protection has no effect. Hero has first strike ability.

Versus

5. Simeon
11/8 Blue (Son of Jacob)
If you have a female Genesis Hero in play, opponent must discard an evil card from hand or territory. May band to Levi.

Post by: Redoubter on March 06, 2014, 05:28:03 PM: Ehud is so underrated because of his doppelganger in gold brigade, but CTB is absolutely fantastic. Simeon, on the other hand, is accurately rated as 'meh'.

Vote: Ehud

Post by: browarod on March 06, 2014, 05:34:08 PM: I'm actually going to disagree with Redoubter on this one. Ehud is much better in gold than in blue, plus Simeon is one of the staples of a Genesis control offense. A basically free discard from opponent's hand or territory (because any Genesis offense, other than herolite, should have at least 2 females) is nothing to be trifled with.

Vote: Simeon

Vote: Simeon

As a side not it was really confusing the gold and blue Ehud, and the gold and blue Simeon.

Ha, yeah, I thought the same thing. :P

I think I like Ehud more. I've never been much of a Genesis guy and if I did play Genesis I knew there were at least 5 guys I'd rather draw before Simeon. Ehud's easier to combo with and gives me the idea of doing a blue and gold splashed Judges deck... ::)

Vote: Ehud

Post by: Warrior_Monk on March 07, 2014, 01:44:57 AM: Unfortunately, the PTB has pigeon-holed blue into Genesis currently, preventing Ehud from shining, but he still wins off of raw power IMO. I just wish there could be some normal blue cards again.

Post by: Chris on March 08, 2014, 03:34:51 PM: Simeon, especially with I Am Holy up, can wreck defenses without really doing anything at all. I vote Simeon.
