Who is the better EC?

I'm surprised that Nebby is winning this, I though for sure KoT would run away with this one... 

Also, King of Tyrus is easier to spell.

Nebuchadnezzar is terrible. KoT is boss. Nebby is shut down by so many things just sitting in the territory. KoT sits in the territory and makes people cry.

I don't cry at KoT.  Every meta deck I've ever made has at least 3 or 4 ways to easily deal with KoT.

Every turtle deck I've ever made has at least 5-10 ways to easily deal with things that deal with KoT. Boom.

you know you win things when you turn into a cow. gotta go with neb.

KoT v. KoT won't be interesting because it won't happen. I highly doubt KoT is going to take out Uzzah next round. Regardless, this round, I voted for Nebuchadnezzar, and here's why: Among the other things that he can do, Nebby is an almost-CBN auto-block if he pulls Belshazzar's Banquet, which is, quite simply, huge. He's also the best part of what may be the best mid-sized themed defense in the game right now (in T1), and if he has Horses on him, he can pull Nerg with his ability, then play an enhancement that's now CBN. To reiterate that, Nebby has the ability to, almost out of nowhere, potentially play something like Head of Gold with at least two Babylonians in play CBN. Yes, this is also something Nerg can do, but he doesn't have the surprise factor that Nebby does.

Neb loses to RLK's using Daniel though.

Because we all know that RLKs goes to nationals 

KoT is better in T1, Neb is better in T2. Considering only T2 players use defense, that explains this spread.

Neb is 2nd right behind TAS in terms of the ultimate toolbox EC. Because of this, he is still a huge powerhouse in T1...insta-battle winner, huge numbers against FBTN, or your 2nd Uzzah. Kind of hard to pass all that versatility up.

I'd actually argue that having neb may be more versatile than TAS. People always forget that Neb can search for characters, or they just never think of it. Some of my favorite looks from Opponents come form when my Neb with horses searchers for Nerg and then BOOM!!! Then it's either How'd you do that! or the quiet sad face 

That's my favorite part about Nebby, searching for Leviathan.  FBTNB offenses make major sadface when that happens. 

Step 1: Add Nazareth to your deck.
Step 2:
Step 3: Profit.

Genesis and Sam both get shut down by Naz, and thus, won't add it. Many TGT decks won't add it either.

And thus begins your construction of an anti-meta deck

KoT is better in T1, Neb is better in T2. Considering only T2 players use defense, that explains this spread.

This is wrong cause I use a T1 deck all the time but it is a balanced deck with some speed.
