Title: Round 1 - White - Mary, the Mother of James or Faithful Servant (promo)
Post by: Bryon on March 12, 2011, 12:01:30 AM: Which is the better Redemption Hero?

Faithful Servant (promo) is also listed in purple. He received the same number of nominations in each brigade (7 votes) and placed at the same ranking in each (6th). So, a Faithful Servant promo appears in each brigade. Thankfully, he's generic!

FSP is good in tons of decks. Versatility FTW!

Post by: Master KChief on March 12, 2011, 07:24:33 PM: this one is actually a tough one. in terms of versatility i believe f.servant wins it...a whole toolbox of options available to him with a decent ability and initiative. but on the other hand, mmj is great for unnegateable banding, beatstick with blessings/words/trans, female, and of course the (now less occasional than before) free ls with tgt. its a tough call.

If it was any of the other TGT Gals, then I would agree. However, TGT isn't really nerfed so much for MMoJ, since it provides her with CBN banding. Plus, she has a couple of ways to make her CBN band of 28/24 FBTN, with Blessings, or He is Risen + TSA. On top of all that, she's a white NT female, which means she has access to two of the best negatable battle winners in the game (no EC's are protected from He is Risen or Magnificat, and both will stop immunity) and also to two of the best enhancements to be combined with TGT (Benedictus and Consider the Lilies).

Don't get me wrong, Faithful Servant is great, and if we were excluding all of the influence of other cards, then he would win hands down. But MMoJ has the advantage in today's metagame.
