Asahel by a landslide. Band,ctb, protected from Goliath

Asahel by far.

I've been a fan of Ashael ever since I figured out I could use him to CTB an EC with Charms (so long as it wasn't Damsel) and Grapes.  He's a good contender for second best Red hero.

tough, but Asahel is better. CtB or banding is great. Uriah's ok, but he's never really done much for me.

Asahel bands to Ishmaiah who helps Sam. Asahel is better.

If you reverse the letters in Asahel, you get "Le Hasa." "Hasa" is "I encountered" in Albanian, and "Le" is the universal word for "He (masculine)" even though it is technically only French. Put that together and you get "The I encountered."

That phrase makes no sense, therefore Asahel is terrible, so Uriah wins this one.

However, Uriah can be transformed into "U hair". Since U is a well-known abbreviation for University, and since college kids usually have either very bad hair from not showering/grooming before their 8:00 class or are experimenting with new looks, U hair is gross. So Asahel wins.

Also, Asahel is awesome, for the reasons most people have mentioned. A decent init hero who can choose his blocker to setup Bravery of David is epic.

Don't be hating. There's no standard criteria used to define the better card. Albanian is more important to me than school.

I still don't think asahel is better. Uriah's SA grants CBN.... thus imo it's better.

1. Use Asahel's ability to force opponent to block with almost any EC.
2. Play Bravery of David.
3. ????
4. Profit.

Protected from Goliath. Enough said
