Who is the best Hero in Redemption?

Nominate your choice for the top 8 heroes in each brigade.  The top 8 nominees from each brigade will be put into a bracket.  We will pair them up, and allow a couple days of voting for each.  Every 2-3 days we'll eliminate the losers, trace the bracket to the next matchups, and vote again.

Who will emerge victorious?

Nominate the top 8 heroes in each brigade.  Place your nominations now!

John Earley (Natz 2010 Custom Card ) C'mon, you know this one has to win

With all the ignore hurt going on I almost think Lois over King David, but that's me.

Blue:                     Purple:
Jacob                    Thadeus
Eve                       Matthew
Zebulan                  Ethiopian Treasurer
Ehud                      Starter John
Claudia                   James son of A
Ira                         King david
Simeon                   Lois
Benjamin.                Thomas

Where would Seeker/Soldier/FSP/Melk go?

Where would Seeker/Soldier/FSP/Melk go?

Good question.  If they make it into the top 8 of a color in your opinion, put them in whichever brigade you think they function best, or whichever brigade has the fewest heroes that are better than that one.

If FSP makes it into the top 8 for more than one color, I'll put it in the bracket in the brigade in which it gets the most nominations.

My picks are based (top=best, etc) on both frequency of play (by myself and my opponent) and its key in that color's strategy.  I am preparing this list from the top of my head to insure greater accuracy (thus the heroes I think of when I think of that color.)    I retain the right to modify this list if I further reflect on it and feel that I made an error in judgment.

Judas hero = not real. Michael would be cool for a new card, maybe this reprint will have a different ability, lol (not that there's anything wrong with his current ability). Benaiah in red would be cool. New Lot in blue is realistic enough to be likely, and I would welcome that as well. Green Elijah would be interesting, and hopefully he'd have a useful effect, lol. I'm highly doubting the Nebuchadnezzar hero, though.

When will we start voting?

I'm going to give a few more days for nominations.  Maybe we'll start the voting this weekend.

One or more of the "2011 version" cards may (or may not) be real.

What are all these 2011 versions. Are they cards coming out in the new set?

Care to elaborate? 

All I know about the next set is what it is (packs, tins, starters, whatever you call TexP/Di), and one card title. That one card is not on the list.

Ehh, the brigade it's in makes Gabe's believable.

You're a global mod, temporarily create a sub-board of off-topic called march madness.

Put all the threads there.

If you can /-1 threads after they're locked then you're even better off.

Oh, maybe, I just assumed you had more powers than you did

Ask Schaef nicely to do it
