Zebulun or Captain and Jacob? , Heretics and babs?

1. Which two cards does anyone think would be better at a tournament?

Zebulun (ignores greater than the number of cards in your hand)

or Captain and Jacob banded together? 

2. Also would Heretics (creeping deceiver and false teacher) go decently with some babs?


any thoughts?

1. The Jacob-Captain band has probably won more lost souls than any other card or combination of cards in Redemption history.

2. Heretics and Babs play well together only insofar as they share a brigade. There is no real synergy between them, and the strongest Babs plays (1. captures and 2. Iron Pan shenanigans) actually work against the Heretics.

I like Jacob more because he can also play pre-block to Ignore, Choose the blocker, and a few other things. if your going for the band you might want to consider Rachel for the Rachel-Jacob-Captain band.

You really think so? I feel like that's quite a bold statement..

I agree with the statement although

Simeon--->AutO--->Moses is quickly catching up.

Personally that's what I was thinking. But its certainly a tough competition between all three combinations.

Just use all 5. They all have incredible synergy together.

Jake -> Cap
Sim -> Cap
Auto -> Moses
Jake -> Auto -> Moses
Sim -> Auto -> Moses
Sim -> Jake -> Cap

Jacob + Captain has been around and played extensively since 2000. Given the decade long head start, I am fairly certain that they still hold the title.

I also should have added the caveat, with the exception of SoG/NJ.
