Who voted for Zacheus? WS should be unanimous all the way to the Championship.

Zach can search for a card to negate servant's ignore. (Gallows)

I like Zacc more. Watchful Servant requires more than 3 turns to win the game.

Zach is cool for getting fortresses.  But no one builds an entire deck around Zacheus :)

Pick your argument prof.  Are cards good because they are only good in one deck or are they good becuase of their versatility.  You cant have it both ways

Best - a card that is awesome in all kinds of different decks.
Great - a card that is critical in a competitive deck.
Good - a card that is decent in a competitive deck or could be used in several different kinds.
Bad - a card that is only good in one kind of deck that isn't even that good.

Zach falls in the "good" category.  WS falls in the "great" category.

I wouldn't say a deck based around ignore is competitive anymore....

I disagree with your classification of Bad I think this is more of a definition for something right under Good cards. Some cards for example such as Ahab would be considered "Bad" but when you put Ahabs armor on him he becomes playable as a hard to kill 6/16. Imo a Bad card is a card that is not usable under any circumstances such as a 0/2 buckler which has close to no usable play value.

Ahab's armor doesn't make someone that hard to kill. Protected from two abilities that are probably the least used.

But one needs initiative to play it in battle, and a 6/6 isn't the greatest for that.

I would classify that as Terrible, but I don't think there will be any cards that bad in this March Madness voting thing :)

a 0/2 buckler which has close to no usable play value.
OK, now them's fighting words.  You clearly understimate the power of the Buckler side :)

Tough one, speed vs ignore, but with more people trying to do speed in their decks, watchful servant is a great way to ignore the speedy people or try to get them to slow down otherwise..

Zaccheus is way better. Being able to search for The Darkness, Haman's Gallows, Wall, Judge's Seat, and TGT, not to mention being able to play Meeting the Messiah, and getting better inish (IMO), is awesome.

Watchful servant wins games. Zach just complements strategies.

Ive won more games with Zacc than WS mostly because he supports my defence and helps me block while my offence takes the win.
This is the way Lackey gave it to me. All hail the power of Lackey!
