KoT, Gomer, Plot, and PotW all stop Benaiah.

The best FBTN decks use a lot of banding, which in turn will stop all of those things.

Benaiah is in a Samuel deck, so he's better.

He is? o.O

Arguably the best ones.

Really? Better than The Angel Under the Oak  (RA2) and Ishmaiah the Gibeonite  (RA2)?

I didn't mean he was the best card, I meant he's in what are arguably the best Sam decks.

Ahh, I misunderstood. I still need to try an Isaiah+Hezzy splash in my Sam deck though…

Certainly do not see how Benaiah brings more synergy to the theme.

All you do is take a regular red Sam band, remove Sam and Armorbearer, and add Ben or Ira. There's so little difference between the d7 Sam bands and FBTNB it's crazy.

Isaiah. He's one of two characters in the game (as far as I know) who can draw 9+. Also, he's a beast.

He can't draw 9+? his sa limits to three?

Unfortunately my phone doesn't allow me to do the cool display thing thats all the rage, but I'm sure someone can. Needless to say, Isaiah has no limit. So if you can get four Angel of His Presence, four Seraphs, and a Seraph with a Live Coal out you can draw 9. I guess if you use the band to blue instead you could draw 12, but LC has other advantages.

For.those.who aren't aware, the other.character who can draw that can draw that many is The Woman of Thebez. I think she can draw up to 16 if you and your opponent both have multiple Gib Delegates when you use Babel.

Isaiah because that's the book of the Bible I'm reading.  Hezzy's a boss in Redemption and the OT.

Isaiah is totally overrated. With his Call on him he'd get the win, but voting on the merits of the Heroes themselves, FbtN is better.

Tell that to Samson and Gideon. Support cards have to be taken into account.

Another thing that I don't hear mentioned often with Isaiah... he can make a 9/11 that is protected from EVERYTHING. CBN.
