Which is the better Redemption hero?

I can't believe Michael got the 8th seed for silver.  Only 4 nominations!  Poor Michael.

The Angel Under the Oak
Michael [Kings] or Michael [Angel Wars]

Michael is terrible. He never gets init. Meanwhile, AUTO will win MM. This is a blowout.

As much as I love my namesake and favorite card for 5+ years, Angel Under the Oak trounced it in playability and general awesomeness. RIP Mike.

Well, I have never used Angel Under the Oak or a "Sam" deck, so I couldn't vote for him despite how everyone is using him now.  I have a strong tendency to deliberately not use what everyone is using anyway. 

In contrast, in my old solid silver deck, Angel's Sword + Michael made him nearly unstoppable (except by Uzzah and a couple others).  The NT version gets the NT only LS.  He gets the First Round Protect LS.  He laughs at guys like KOT.  With Angel's Sword the "suicide defenses" that use tiny human ECs can't suicide.  And one of the neatest things about having him in a solid silver deck is that the opponent just has too many powerful targets to kill, and only one Christians Martyr :)  If he's in a deck with Gabriel, COTH and Strong Angel, his chances of survival go up dramatically.  The only thing he really fears is not having initiative to a CBN enhancement.

Anyway, I'm sure that in today's "meta" I'm totally wrong, but I did want to make a small case for the highest ranking angel and the herald of our Lord's return :)

Considering a good portion of the community would rather see speed decks be neutered in some way to give balanced and defense heavy more of a chance, I'm going to disagree.

Actually, Cactus' answer to balancing the speed meta was to give slower colors more speed. Which we can see has completely backfired on them.

Next up: Invent a new brigade, and give it more speed than ever before.

Oh, wait, we already did that.

I wonder what this game would look like if we banned any card that was anything more than a floater/cantrip.
