I know this one will end up in an Ishtory more than likely, but I am a HUGE fan of CTB for its power and versatility. It is so much easier to win battles when you choose an unhelpful EC for your opponent to use, and Jael is reusable in addition to being able to choose your own EC (the only character with CTB able to do so).

Actually she can't; she specifies opponents territory.

No, I misremembered her ability

Though I do use Canaan for just that purpose in general. I just don't use Jael.

Ishy easily

The "opponent's territory" clause pushes my vote to Ishmaiah.

Jael is better

Draw, negate and band. Capable of holding FS. Red W/C.

Nah going with Jael here

The problem with Jael is that she requires so much support to be viable. You pretty much have to play a Canaanite defense with her, or a large Red offense with TaS/Battle Cry/CoA/etc., or both.

Ish, on the other hand, can win games almost by himself. He works well in an all-Red deck, or in Sam or Purple variants where the Red is splashed. FS on him is so good.
