This one is a really close call, Hur is a CBN disrupt + d7 with gifts up, but Micah can recur, hmmm... I think I'll hold off on voting for this one.

Micah has HT, Caves, Two Bears, and can recur a lot of great enhancements. Hur has Gifts.

I can't believe Micah is winning this. Hur is the best soulgenning Hero in the game, and has potential for HUGE draws (not just with Gifts, either).

King Amaziah is technically a soulgenning hero, and much, much better, IMO.

Hur: Useless in T2
Micah: Somewhat useful in T2

Micah wins by a landslide.

Micah is just another Prophet, and a very ho-hum one in a field of great Heroes. Yes, he can recur Enhancements, but all Green enhancements are rubbish. The only reason I say Hur is an even better soulgenner than WatW is because Hur can bring out multiple LS's so that Burial, or in some cases SoG won't deprive you of the generated soul.

On the other hand, Hur doesn't guarantee that any soul will be drawn. I think that that comes down entirely to what style you want, but for all intents and purposes, I'd take The Woman at the Well over Hur any day strictly for generating souls.

Hmm as I said this was hard for me, but what it came down to was this,

Which heroes would I miss more in my green decks?  I concluded that I would miss Hur a lot more than I would miss Micah.  Hur makes for the main engine in my decks, and while yes I would miss recurring two bears, losing the main force I have for drawing would be a significantly harder to bear.

I realized what Pol was talking about with the huge draws even with no Gifts AND even with an opponent's RBD up

OK, so now I'm really curious...

We're on the same page. It's pretty easy to figure out once you know it involves a EC and some other cards, but it's more fun to no just give it away

Isn't the combo over a year old? :\

Uh yes...yes, it generally does.

Uh yes...yes, it generally does.

In theory yes, in practice not necessarily. Obviously. I mean, look at this thread. There are at least two people that apparently don't know the combo, one of whom is one of the most successful online players.

Even one player who hangs out at the top table of ROOT consistently is plenty of proof that it's not common knowledge regardless of how old it is.
