Another hard one but I am going Isaiah because of his sheer amazing ness. My T2 deck's worst nightmare is Isaiahmaiahha.

Not sure why, didn't you use my defense at one point ;) That eats Isaiah alive.
Isaiah is incredibly powerful, as are decks that take proper advantage of him. Call alone negating the important stuff is terrifying, and he has CBN battle-winners. The problem with the latter, though, is that he gets bad initiative (especially banded with angels), and none of the Isaiah enhancements negate a just-played evil enhancement and simultaneously win the battle.
King David is beastly and I PBI is nasty in general (though his is not as targeted as others).
All things put together, I go with...King David. Though it is close.

This is a toss-up. Either one will likely be put in any OT deck I put together, though KD took a hit by the appearance that neither Isaiah nor Simeon will be ruled as musicians (yes, I would argue that KD is hurt more by that than Isaiah is). Isaiah fits more organically into what I believe the best decks in T1 right now, but King David commands excellent numbers, ignores a huge portion of viable characters, and is probably the single most splashable hero in the game right now. I don't think I have a vote yet; I need someone to convince me.

More things considered my decks worst nightmares are all those sneaky tricks you use. We wept precious, we wept we lost so bad. :'(
