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.

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

Edict is also in a better brigade.
No.
As a standalone (with a small amount of alternate splash for Samuel and the Angels),

Quote from: Asahel24601 on April 12, 2012, 10:40:04 PMNo.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.
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).
