A newer player's favorite cards

I'm kind of bored right now, so I thought I'd see how many people agree with my favorites so far.  I've been blessed in the few months I have been playing to now have about 9 or 10 decks.  I don't use multi-color decks (except my "By the Numbers" deck), so each deck has one good color and one evil color.  I also have a "site lockout" deck.  They are "good" decks, with several rare cards in them, but I'm sure they wouldn't go far in tournament play.  They are all either 56 or 63 cards.

Anyway, here are my two favorites in each category (picking just one was way too hard).  I pick these because they have won me the most battles/games so far.  I am rarely mentioning these in the context of a great combo.  I just think these are great cards on their own.  I'm interested to see what others think.

Favorite Good Dominants:  Son of God (of course!), Angel of the Lord (most would say New Jerusalem here, but I don't play with that anymore)

" Evil Dominants:  Destruction of Nehushtan, Christian Martyr (most would pick Falling Away, but I don't play with that anymore)

Lost Souls:  Seeker, Shuffler, Hopper (but this one doesn't really count) (There's something about the "Lost Souls" card I don't like - not sure what though) 

Single Color Sites:  Hormah, Pergamum (Runner up is Babylonian Banquet Hall)

Multi-color Sites:  Dragon Raid, Ends of the Earth

Fortresses:  All of the Evil "Protect your....."  I also like Goshen and Kingdoms of the World, because I am just now understanding WHY they exist :)  Runner ups would be Wall of Protection and The Tabernacle

Artifacts:  All of the "theme" artifacts, Assyria's Tribute probably being my favorite.  Putting Golden Calf in your NT Hero deck is fun.  Chariot of Fire is nice too.

Curses:  Three way tie between Wastelands (for site lockout), Captured Ark, and Unknown Nation (I also have fun with Given Over to Egypt in my Egyptian deck.  Confusion of Mind good too)

Covenants:  Josiah's Covenant, I am Salvation

Multi-colored Heros:  Seeker of the Lost, Melchizedek (Teal/Purple version)

Multi-colored Evil Characters:  The Amalekite's Slave, The Winged Lion

Multi-colored Good Enhancements:  Three way tie with Coat of Many Colors, Spiritual Warfare, Wickedness Removed (I also like Faith in our High Priest.  Yikes!  That's four!)

Multi-colored Evil Enhancements:  Three way tie with Torment, Lying Unto God, Just a Hireling

Gold Heroes:  Moses, Ehud

Gold Good Enhancements:  Deborah's Directive, Ehud's Dagger (Rock of Ages) (Covenant of Moses on Moses too!)

Brown Characters:  The Jeering Youths, Complainers (also Uzzah)

Brown Enhancements:  Dungeon of Malchiah, Gibeonite Trickery (also Great Mourning) 

White Heroes:  Titus, War Officer

White Enhancements:  Joseph Before Pharaoh, Words of Encouragement

Teal Heroes:  Phinehas, Ahimaaz

Teal Enhancements:  Zeal for the Lord, Jehoidah's Strength

Orange Characters:  King of Tyrus, Prince of this World (actually Seven Sons of Sceva, but they are Crimson :) )

Orange Enhancements:  Two possessed by Demons, Poison of Dragons

Purple Heroes:  John, King's Daughter

Purple Enhancements:  Authority of Christ Promo (of course), Reach of Desperation, Royal Parade

Gold Evil Characters:  Egyptian Warden, Queen Tahpenes (Runner Ups Warriors KOT and Emperor Claudius)

Gold Evil Enhancements:  Spreading Mildew, Wonders Forgotten

Red Heroes:  Spy, Recruiting Officer (Runner ups Jepthah and Amasai the Raider)

Red Enhancements:  Battle Cry, The Might of Faith

Pale Green Characters:  Prince of this World, Women as Snares

Pale Green Enhancements:  Confusion, Forgotten History (Runner Ups Death of Unrighteous and Infectious Disease)

Green Heroes:  Three way tie between Nahum, Micah, Hur

Green Enhancements:  Plague of Frogs, Two Bears, Search

Black Characters:  Sadducees, Lot's Wife

Black Enhancements:  Wrath of Satan, Hunger, Babel

Blue Heroes:  Levi, Jacob (FOOF)

Blue Enhancements:  Reuben's Torn Clothes, Obedience of Noah

Crimson Characters:  Red Dragon (Immune), King Merodach-Baladan (Runner up King Evil-Merodach, and sometimes even Sapphira)

Crimson Enhancements:  Great Image, Nebuchadnezzar's Pride, Midianite Attack

Silver Heroes:  The Strong Angel, Angel at Shur Promo (Runner ups Angel at Jerusalem and Warrior's Gabriel)

Silver Enhancements:  Everlasting Beings Promo, Striking Herod, Angel's Sword

Grey Characters:  Nero, Saul, (Lying Spirit?)

Grey Enhancements:  False Peace, Night Raid, Balaam's Disobedience

 I'm not a Redemption expert but I can tell you that if you have Sadducees, consider putting in Sadducee enhancements like High Priest Plot, False Witnesses, and Just a Hireling. For Purple/Teal, probably add a few more ignores for Teal and Purple, like Peace Treaty {Purple 1/5 enhancement}, [O.T. Hero ignores one evil brigade except orange, or may band to a human Hero] and Burning Incense {Teal 1/1 enhancement}, [All Heroes ignore an evil brigade of holder's choice. Cannot be negated if Altar if Incense is active.]

I did have Just a Hireling in my "multi-color" favorites.  The success of High Priest's plot is very dependent on what is in your opponent's hand at the time, but I do see it used a lot.  I tend to favor enhancement that either interrupt and then do something, or cannot be negated/interrupted.  There are also some powerful combos out there of two or more cards, but I was trying to focus on cards that can stand on their own regardless of other cards.

I would submit that if you cause your lone Sadd in battle to die in order to protect the Lost Souls, the battle ends and the Hero has no opportunity to interrupt since he doesn't get initiative.  That's just as good as cannot-be-negated.

Yes it is, which is why its on my list of favorites for multi-color.  But it also require you to have sadducees in your deck, so its not universal in its use to black brigade.  But then again, is there anyone out there that plays black WITHOUT sadducees?

I'd hope not. It's weak.
