Post by: Professoralstad on April 09, 2012, 04:08:07 PM: Who is the better EC?

Post by: Redoubter on April 09, 2012, 09:32:39 PM: Armorbearer has a really nice combo to pull people out of your deck (or discard), but that's all he is good for. On the other hand, Delegates has CBP protection from discard abilities (nope, no AoTL or Grapes for you!), amazing initiative for all the nice Black enhancements, and when he is discarded he becomes a Soul. Soul gen is even more important now with the new rules.

Delegates > Armorbearer

Post by: browarod on April 10, 2012, 11:41:04 AM: Again, I really need to change my vote because Armorbearer isn't as good when I re-read what Delegates does.

Is there a reason vote changing is disabled for these?

Oh snap. It is for most of the other ones, I didn't even bother checking on this one. *facepalm*

When I created the poll, there was a box to check to allow users to change their votes. I forgot to check it on some of them apparently, and for some reason, I cannot edit that part of the poll. I will make sure to have that as an option in all polls next round.

Oh, okay. Not a problem and thanks for clarifying. :)

Post by: Master Q on April 10, 2012, 07:50:32 PM: Delegates can be captured by Hosea. Since that's one of the criteria I'm using to vote for best EC, Delegates has changed my mind.
