Which is the better Redemption hero?

This shouldn't even be close. Micah recurring things like two bears, search, and pretty much any key green enhancement is almost unbeatable. I use the gold Simeon in my Green deck because he's so much more useful than the new one.

because right now according to current rules he can't be discarded including to numbers unless the player using him as played there son of god thats why

shuffle stopped by naz capture stopped by cp anna or obadiahs caves return to hand ill give you very few people do it but i see your point i guess i just like him i voted for micah though cause at the end of the day your right. i was only trying to explain peoples reasons.

lol yeah i know im just a nutcase and should be using hsr i just like the extra green site for potential lock if i need it and since i normally keep it empty i can push it in battle to search and the protect from shuffle only applys to opponets cards

Simeon is better in T2, where recursion is not that valuable since you can start out with almost as many copies of enhancements as you want. He's also the only prophet that can band to another prophet, which can be super useful. And CBN, don't forget. He's a juggernaut. In T1 though, I might vote for Micah, because recursion is super amazing in T1.

hmmmm, Aaron and Miriam say hello

Aaron doesn't band to another prophet, he bands to Miriam.

CBN banding+Discard Protection in a brigade with Hidden Treasures and Obediah's Caves...yeah, Simeon's way better than Micah, even though Micah is quite good too.

Agree 100%. Micah can recur enhancements, sure. However, a Simeon+Anna band often doesn't need enhancements, since capture and discard are the two most common ways to stop Heroes. Simeon should be in every Prophets deck, and he can even be splashed into a Disciples/TGT deck to band to Peter or John. Micah should also be in every Prophets deck, but I don't see him being very useful in any other deck types.

Let's also not forget that you still have to redraw the cards you shuffle with Micah before using them again. In T1, I would think that the games rarely last long enough to draw and use the cards twice, and in T2, the decks are much bigger, which of course means slower.

It's a dead heat going into the final laps.

Miriam (G)
Type: Hero Char. • Brigade: Green • Ability: 4 / 4 • Class: None • Special Ability: Hero ignores gold brigade evil characters. • Play As: Hero ignores evil gold Evil Characters. • Identifiers: OT Female Human, Musician, Prophet • Verse: Exodus 15:21 • Availability: G Deck

My point was not that she isn't a prophet, it was that she is only one hero. No freedom. Simeon can be added to any other NT Prophet, and CBN.

I agree that this is close, but I still have to side with Micah. I really don't think Green has enough firepower to break through a defense, and Micah is the only thing that solves that problem. Simeon and Micah are good, yeah, but you can pick them off individually. Discard Anna, Writ/Charms Simeon. They aren't THAT good.

You gotta negate Anna (AND Obi's Caves) before you can Writ Simeon.

You can hit Simeon the next time around. Doesn't he negate O.T. forts?

No. That's John the Baptist.

Hit simeon with sinning hand and I would be willing to bet you would want Micah then.

Again, Obadiah's Caves...

By the way, saying Sim is better than Micah is not saying that I don't want Micah. I really want both. But if I were to choose one, I would choose Simeon.
