Best EC currently or best EC ever? Because if you look at impact FW and any of the new releases haven't dominated the metagame like Uzzah has for so long.
I'm still going to go with Uzzah, I feel like Wives and Tibbers while great cards simply are easier to play around than Uzzah.
Lone FBTN heroes shouldn't be common. Moses and the occasional angels are all you see and frankly plot handles that better than a Tiberius ever could.
However, if we extend into the realm of T2, the two best ECs by far are Assyrian Survivor and Assyrian Siege Army; with good arguments for either one being the best.
If we are going to go into T2, then the best is Woman at Thebez. A CBN play-first CBN regardless-of-protection discard 4 times per game, with some other options as well, I would put her up for the honors.
Obviously SWS. He's basically every other EC in the game already.
im surprised the goliath promo isn't higher on the list
I think the threat of her is more potent than the actual character.

I would disagree because he is limited to what ur opponents play and what they put in territory, in the right deck played the right way he can be great but sws doesn't seem like a top 5 ec to me
I think that right now, the answer is Foreign Wives. When she was released, her ability forced players to rethink how to go about drawing and making rescue attempts and that used to be the way that Uzzah was up until the last year or so, when Isaiah and Daniel became popular (and Moses became more common, especially in conjunction with Angel Under the Oak). Even now though, the possibility of Uzzah can make a player rethink a rescue attempt. The possibility of a character forcing people to rethink how they play the game is far more effective than any actual ability is, and at this point, Foreign Wives is far more effective than Uzzah is, especially because there are so many effective-but-negatable evil characters out there. Her initiative isn't the best (though the volume of rescue attempts that do give her initiative is much higher than it used to be), but she still has access to two of the best evil enhancements in the game (Plot and Stone), not to mention every other non-civilization specific evil enhancement. Her being Egyptian lets her naturally splash into those decks, but even better is how she functions in a Canaanite deck. A lot of early versions of the Pharisees defense that was popular at Nats utilized her, Lot's Wife, and Stone, and I even played around with Fortify Site in that deck to moderate success. On top of an incredible ability that forces people to rethink the game, she's probably the most versatile evil character right now.
