I am currently trying to figure out which brigade has the most negates (That don't require a specific person to use them. I'm looking at you The battle is the Lord's. Tell me if I missed any (this list includes ITB d/c enhancements)
Blue:
Sign of the R
Ehud's Dagger
Abes serve
Book of jashar(maybe)
Cov with noah
Red:
Holy ground
Counsel of abigail
Green:
Trust in the Lord
Ben Snatches a spear
Swords into Plowshares
White:
Blessings
Burning Bush
Undefiled(OT requirement but thats a little less than WC only)
Purple:
5 smooth stones
Silver:
Flaming sword
Gold:
Plague of Hail
Bow and Arrow
Teal:
Scapegoat

Depending on your reason for this project you might also want to include cards that interrupt and then do something else that would stop the previous enhancement like kill the character who played it (ie. Striking Herod) or give protection (ie. Protection of Angels).
You also might want to include cards that interrupt and play next, which would also allow you to do things to stop the last enhancement (ie. Swift Beings).
In your list, it looks like Silver only has 1 negate card. But if you count the above 3 examples, there are at least 4.
-
From your list I assume you only want good brigades?
Book of jashar(maybe)
You'll include something this situational but not The battle is the Lords?
Gold:
Plague of Hail
Bow and Arrow
Ehud's Dagger (RoA) is an interrupt + discard

DOH! and yes, because I lack a S.a.less WC hero.

Basically I want to make another WONL deck, but am unsure which brigades to use.
-
Definitely Gold. It has 3 Negates (one of which is CBN on a Judge and can also be a battle-winner), no-SA Heroes who are actually useful for other stuff (Judge's Seat), someone who searches for Windows, and Luke Heroes with no SA who can use CBN battle-winners.
-
Who searches for windows?
-
Eli.
-
/facepalm Howed I forget he was in gold?
-
Windows is not a Tabernacle Artifact. Only Blue Eli can search for it.

I think they have one... but words of encouragement is with anyone. In addition, as it adds an NT angel to the battle, there are a LOT of no special ability NT angels. ;D Then you can play striking herod and flaming sword.
-
Teal has Zeal for the Lord and Jordan interrupted, Silver has Striking Herod, Swift Beings and Protection of Angels (Consuming fire is a prevent all that you can play before battle), White has Cymbals of the Levites, Words of Encouragement and "He is Risen" (with any NT females it works, they don't have to be in battle), Gold has Ehud's Dagger, Red has Walking on Water (for NT as much as Protection of Angels is a negate), I did repeat a few that have been said.

But how many actually are useful?
Here's a list of all the no SA Heroes if it helps you.
Blue
Sarah (useful with Genesis offenses to make Simeon work)
Rebekah (useful with Genesis offenses to make Simeon work)
Gold
Deborah (useful with Judges seat to discard ECs)
Samuel (useful with Judges seat to discard ECs)
Green
None really that seem useful
Purple
Elisha (having him in play shuts down some cards)
Red
Gad (some people turn him into Super Gad and base an offense on him)
Silver
(All of these can work for the discarding into Chamber of Angels cycle)
White
None really that seem useful
-
Barth is actually quite good with WONL+Wool fleece.
-
What is WONL?
-
I know some of these cards aren't as useful without other non-special ability cards, but a few you left off Prof.
Othneil is also a 4/4 judge
Agabus, Isaiah, Miriam & Zechariah are prophets and can use Hidden Treasures
John can use TGT (for those of you who don't hate it! :D)
-
What is WONL?
Windows of Narrow Light

For Genesis, you should keep in mind that Seth is also a non-SA hero, although he isn't female. For Gold, as Crash mentioned, you forgot Othniel. Samson can be useful for Samson's Sacrifice NoN and Jawbone purposes. You also forgot to mention that Eli could band to Samuel. For green, Agabus is useful as a NT prophet, Miriam as a female, and Isaiah for a few things, the most useful possibly being a CBN SiP. There are also many non-SA prophets to use prophets-only enhancements and HT. For purple, I might put King Saul in there, as he is a 10/10 WC good king, which can be quite useful. Also, Elijah can band to Elisha, and John is useful as a TGT hero. Remember that Red also has a few NT non-SA heroes for using Walking on Water. Daniel may be included as a useful white non-SA hero, if you are using the Daniel band. (True, it's probably more useful to have an angel at the end of that band, but...)
-
If going single color Windows of Narrow Light, blue is pretty good, for all the negates, pretty big numbers, and ability to search for WONL, as mentioned. Sarah being a big numbered offense feamle hero is good too. Blue Splash across old and new testaments would be my single color choice. In my WONL deck though I just picked the biggest heroes I could find across all colors, added Wool Fleece, and all the big number Rainbow Enhancements. But I like your negate idea too. Gold is a good second choice, in my opinion.

I am currently trying to figure out which brigade has the most negates (That don't require a specific person to use them. I'm looking at you The battle is the Lord's. Tell me if I missed any (this list includes ITB d/c enhancements)
Blue:
Sign of the R
Ehud's Dagger
Abes serve
Book of jashar(maybe)
Cov with noah
Red:
Holy ground
Counsel of abigail
Green:
Trust in the Lord
Ben Snatches a spear
Swords into Plowshares
White:
Blessings
Burning Bush
Undefiled(OT requirement but thats a little less than WC only)
Purple:
5 smooth stones
Silver:
Flaming sword
Gold:
Plague of Hail
Bow and Arrow
Teal:
Scapegoat
If this helps, Blue: Abraham's Servant to Ur.

What about the evil brigades? Which evil colors have the most negates?
-
I saw some mention of a super Gad? Ive never seen one of those decks before... how would it work?
-
I think "usefulness" is kind of subjective. Hidden Treasures, for example, boosts the usefulness of a number of SA-less green prophets.

:amen:
Anything that could make Gad, the official hero of Redemption NJ, useful outside of Retro (where he's an initiative monster) piques my interest.
-
you can always add another no sa hero by creating your own hero at nats, 4/4 hero with no sa not a bad idea?

Step one. Set Gad Aside with passover preparations. When he comes back use chemosh to make im 6/1. Tada, you have a CBN 6/1 hero in the brigade that has the most battle winners.
-
Except that if you throw Training in Righteousness in there, he can wreck face all by himself.
-
True but that takes 7 turns.
-
Could someone actually answer my question about the evil brigade negates?
-
Black:
Blemished Sacrifices (Negates enhancements used by Priests)
Breaking the Covenant (Negates Covenants and can be used with High Places)
Bringing Fear
Denying Blame
Devourer
Flight (Negates good Banding)
Foolish Advice
Joseph in Prison (Interrupt and Remove)

Thank you, that's black brigade... any others?

Black has the most. If you want to know the others, there are abundant resources for looking it up yourself.

In your list, it looks like Silver only has 1 negate card. But if you count the above 3 examples, there are at least 4.
Since my early obsession with obtaining or at least owning EVERY silver brigade card at one time or another (which, I am proud to announce, I have actually accomplished), I am quite knowledgeable on this.
There are plenty of silver negates and CBN's, both characters and HE's.
Michael (all 3 enhancements used CBN, though WA's Mike CBN/P/I/R)
Eli (though only WCE)
TSA (both, KI is only WCC/E, WA is int/prev on all)
Cappy (same as TSA)
So, using these characters, pretty much any silver enhancement CBN.
As far as JUST enhancements go.....
First Seal (CBI/N, but can be prevented)
Third Seal (CBN/P, but can be interrupted)
Spiritual Beings (though circumstantial, CBP)
Bound (only interrupts, but can rid enhancement)
Swift Beings (int/PNE)
Angel's Sword (circumstantial, CBN with right Hero)
Victory (circumstantial, CBN)
3A's (CBI/P circumstantial)
Mike's Sword (negates immunity, CBN with right Hero)
A(rmy)oTL (CBN w/ Cappy)
Flaming Sword
Glad Tidings (poison only)
Protection/Angels (harm/effect)
Wings (protects capture, poison, disease)
Striking Herod

Except for this one card I saw one time entitled CHRISTIAN MARTYR..... -_-

I don't think that helps with him being discarded.... Just if he has PoD or some other disease card.

The Multicolor promo does.

SA: Discard all poisons and diseases in play. Heal all Heroes not at full strength.
How does this protect against a dominant?
-
It does NOT protect. It heals.

on Wednesday night I was at a game night and someone played Haman's plot and then Christian Martyr and then the other person played Brass Serpent and then we all started laughing. :D
