Has anyone tried to use him? Just trying to see if he is worth putting in a deck.

If you use Genesis without Zebulun or Benjamin he's great because his ability will give two blocks.
Outside of that, he's magician splash in a Pharisee defense.

I actually just recently built a causal deck with him.  Genesis offense, obviously and I use a Syrian/Magician defense with lots of capture.  Capture your own exchanged Genesis female and place her in Raiders Camp.  Rescue with Judah and exchange him with captured G. female in camp.  Get Judah back by surrendering captured heroes in Camp to owners' territories during your opponent's next rescue...including your own hero!

Only downside is that since he's two colors you can only have one copy in the deck and only use his ability twice per game so its not super powerful, but it pretty fun.  I can post a deck list if you'd like.  Mind you I haven't put in False Peace in the deck because I've run out.

Sorry about the delay.  I haven't put in false peace simply because I've run out of them.  I still have problems drawing Laban before the game ends.  Most the time the game is nearly over by the time I get him.  Its just a casual deck for right now.

I have found out that eve is the bomb. she is quickly becoming my favorite character from disciples. Her ability is pretty awesome and really speeds up genesis decks. I would throw in Angel at Shur Promo cause he is genesis, COTH cause bbtn devastates pharisees, and the angel that bands to a blue hero. Also, if you just want to have fun, throw in Stalks of Flax. OH YEAH!!

me personally, I don't ever use fa or guardian becuase more often than not, it is a wasted card slot. Half the time my opponents are not playing with them either ,or they draw fa and use it before my guardian, or they draw guardian before I draw fa. I think those two cards are extremely situational, and a Coth is a better add for sure.

Hey, Falling Away can still be useful if your opponent draws GoYS.  You could stop TGT working against you.

You can play it on yourself if you have one LS rescued, thus allowing you to block. According to his tourney report, SomeKittens did this and ended up winning the game as a result.

A much better use of Falling Away against a Guardianed opponent is to discard it with Philly Outpost.  Free recursion of a Philly!
