Here is a list of all the cards people have posted for the next bracket:
GE:
He is Risen
Eli's Sound Advice
EE:
False peace
wrath of satan
-
He is Risen.
-
He is Risen.
Oops, I forgot that card.
Every body should pick the best card in the bracket and tell me another card that should have made it into the bracket. Then will make another bracket and we will decide the winner of that bracket too. ;D
Then the best card out of both brachets. ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D
-
False Peace - it is essentially any card you want it to be (in your deck, of course)
-
Wrath of Satan.
-
Best EE: Haman's Plot (maybe DoU).
Best GE: Samuel's Edict (AoCP, Zeal, & Bravery all make strong cases as well).
-
GE: BoD
EE: Bringing Fear
-
Still like AOCP! For evil probably Haman's Plot.
-
Anything that CBN
-
Samuel's Edict is the strongest good enhancement in my opinion, for a couple of reasons. First, it's not just an "interrupt the battle and..." enhancement, which it gives it a number of key advantages over an ITB enhancement. First, it ruins banding more effectively than an ITB enhancement does, since it allows you to negate any banding chain that isn't CBN more effectively, then discard the original evil character in battle. It also gives you the opportunity to negate cards out of battle, mostly Gates of Samaria or maybe a protect fort. Throw in the fact that it's CBN on a hero that be protected from your opponent, along with Samuel, and you have an extremely potent enhancement on your hands. Also, it's better than Bravery of David, since it's still useable even if there's just some random gold hero in battle, whereas BoD requires you to have one warrior class hero in battle.
-
Eleazar's Sword.
ANB.
-
I love Eli's Sound Advice.
Who uses evil enhancements?
-
Plot and drawing feasts. GEs are overrated.

I think Bravery of David is actually better, BoD can be played on more people then Sam's edict. SE can only be CBN if used by a judge with not special ability,or Samuel,is the only hero in battle.
BoD can be CBN played on any red worrier class hero if David is in play (and there is only one in battle). In this way you can get enish easier be using Asahel to choose the blocker. All together I think BoD is more open. Just my opinion ;)

BoD doesn't discard if there's only one character in battle. Edict is also in a better brigade.

I don't know about that last part, Red is a pretty good brigade right now. ::)

No.

No.
As a standalone (with a small amount of alternate splash for Samuel and the Angels), gold is most certainly the better brigade. It has more and better drawing, two CBN enhancements, and comparable character abilities. Add in some NT gold, and it's miles better.
-
I would say plot without a doubt is the best evil enhancement, it's a CBN discard 3 that can get rid of ECs and GCs.
I would say He is Risen. It interrupts and it sets ECs aside, so epic, and so powerful.

Not at all. You wouldn't build a Judges deck without silver, and you wouldn't NOT utilize the speed that's blatantly handed to them with Samuel. Heck, even if you didn't use them, I'd still argue that gold is stronger because of Water Jar.

They are both good but would you build a sam deck without red, in fact my sam deck has more red then gold. Granted the gold GC's can be better with the help of silver, the only deck with gold and no red that I can think of is judges, and even still red ended up in my judges deck, and rescued quite often. The other option for a gold deck that does not have red in it is Samaritans, and my Samaritans did not win hardly anything. Just count how many red GC's are in your sam deck, or try building a judges deck without using any red (not even David). ;)

Don't get me wrong, I believe spread offenses (read:Samuel decks) are superior to both gold and red, however, the debate is between those specific brigades, so that's what I'm arguing. In the case of gold, I'm not talking about adding Samuel to make it a Sam deck, just using a deck that's otherwise gold (with some silver) and adding Sam's speed, since most people would consider Sam to be first and foremost a judge (at least in Redemption).
