What are some of the crazy things you can do with Ahimelek?

-Wheel within a wheel him on in
-Writ your own King Amaziah and add him to battle

Return a demon to your hand so you can put it beneath your deck with The Bronze Laver gaining you an extra card each turn for you to gates of hell or Wandering Spirit it out by the next turn.

Not really very crazy but useful, but return characters to move around weapons (I think that weapons follow the warrior).

Your opponent attacks you with a Garden Tomb character with Garden Tomb active when you have at exactly 2 characters of the same brigade out, block with one of them and cause a side battle (this works well with King Rehoboam) and return the other character, so that when you go back to the original battle your character is being ignored and thus giving you infinite initiative to wreak untold destruction on your opponent before protecting lost souls from rescue/playing a dominant to stop them.  Note: this can also work by using a choose the rescuer card to give them your garden tomb hero and whatnot.

The most fun chain is Gibeonite Treaty to capture your Canaanite, then use Canaan to give it to your opponent, then try to rescue it but if not, you can use Ahimelek to get it back.

He can return evil characters treated as a ls?

Play Gathering of Angels on CoTH. Attack with him band in Samuel search for David to D2 and make Ahimelek CBN then band in Ahimelek.

The point is, their character survived but you win the battle, cbn. Which is majorly good. You're 1/3 to winning.

Awww forgot about the CBN if David is in play.

However, I've seen a red deck that doesn't use David because he doesn't want to discard his Uriah.

CBN Bravery of David is worth more than Uriah IMHO.

Red decks aren't good. Ahimilek decks are good. Ahimilek decks without David aren't good.

Here's what you have to weigh
T&S  a discard
David's Triumph a discard
Bravery of David a discard

Is it better to have the benefits of David and a chance at only one use of Uriah
Or is it better to try to keep Uriah to play 2-3 of these

I do use a David in my red Deck.  I also have an Abby to band to him though.

In my opinion, there is nothing wrong with using both. Uriah takes out an EC with him and he is easy to get back with David's Harp or Chariots of Fire.

@Wraith
What do you not like about red red/purple decks

But why is Samuel/Amaleck so good.  Abigail can draw a lot of cards to.  Not to mention the purple you can through in with King Amazing/Valley of salt Reach AocP and Counsel.

The better (imo) Samuel decks are Red/Purple base.

why I'm really confused right now.
