Abner isn't a taunt worthy character.

I'm trying to find moments in the bible where an EC seemed to "taunt" heroes, and this moment came to mind.

Are you crazy? he's asking for a fight.

ABNER (revised)
9/8 Brown Warrior-class Unique Male Evil Character
First Strike.  May band with a brown warrior-class evil character.  Cannot be prevented.
Taunt:  If taunt is succesful, discard a male Hero with abilities of */4 or less.

"Then Abner said to Joab, 'Let the young men now arise and compete before us.'  And Joab said, 'Let them arise.' " 2 Samuel 2:14

added spear abiliy for double goodness :)

I like that one too, but of course when holding his spear he could do this twice, right?

WAY OP!!!!one1?!! Taunting and banding to Manasseh is too powerful without a "negate play next" clause.

Now he's kind of underwhelming. I'd say make the taunt payoff better or give him a second ability that doesn't allow you to play a card but is still useful.
