Don't forget about Am Slave though. I think he'd give him a run for it anyway, but now with the new rules and the need for soul gen, Am Slave has this bracket locked up IMO.
A slave has shot at winning multi, but he's negate-able, and Manny has a so many weapons.
Lets not forget about the fact that GoJ gives him drawing CBN status and protection in territory. This means FBTNB options and CBN auto-block potential. All that on top of the fact that he has access to several of the best battle-winners in the game and the fact that you can slap Charms on him. Oh did I forget that he can use Horses too? Am Slave winning multi? Please...
This, Manny has tons of ways to win battles.
(or ignores him with TGT). Yep, absolutely

So, if Manny is your lynchpin (meaning he'll get AoTL or Grapes in battle, or otherwise murdered by the various offense's interrupt/negate-discards), what happens when he dies? You still have no soul to rescue, right.
In fact, Am Slave can get you Manny. He needs no support. He just does his thing and gets you something to rescue, plus an EC you need. Manny needs at least 2 other cards to be used (prot fort and horses or charms), and the whole combo to be "unstoppable"...for a turn or two.

Plus, Manny can even be good in the discard pile, with King Amon.

How many blocks can you realistically get out of him? Not enough, IMO.

So...let me get this straight, you're adding more cards that he relies on for blocks? Without Horses, he's dead. Without prot fort, he's dead and negatable. Without your TC, he's ignored still. KoT doesn't stop everyone who uses CBN enhancements (which...is pretty much everyone nowadays). Without HHI, banding still prevents his SA from doing anything decent with the discard.
Even if he wins, unless it's Trick you played, they can still AoTL or Grapes him away.
So, he's not so much good as an entire deck built around him is, is that what you're saying?
And yes, he will die rather easily, as pointed out
Name of the game is rescuing souls.
