Who is the better EC?

Wings of Music · « **Reply #1 on:** April 09, 2012, 04:13:08 PM »

SWS for life.

He can steal your opponent's Gomer to band to his KoT, which is better than just having KoT.

Best part being it's a 17/19 FBTN. Waaaay better than Gomer to KoT or even KoT.

Also, SWS is saved by Wandering Spirit.

You can do anything with SWS, from banding combos, to exchanging for an auto-blocker, there is no evil character that is more versatile than SWS because SWS can be any EC he wants to be!

Agree with everything SWS-related here. KoT is way overvalued by players (just look at the voting). He gets killed by almost every offense out there currently. SWS, however, steals EC and uses their own combos against them. Plus, as pointed out, WS makes SWS go to bottom of deck, and not to mention that it is the beginning to some of the best CBN FBTN banding chains ever.

Not if you exchange him for an opponent's EC - then he isn't "yours" because you don't control him.

I really wish the change vote option was enabled with these polls. I need to change mine....

The main reason I vote for King is because you can splash him into almost any defense unlike spirits

SWS can go in any deck too. The problem with SWS is that once you give your opponent him then he can steal any of YOUR EC's. SWS!

SWS goes into a real defense non of this mamby-pamby, chumpy-bumpy, humpty-dumpty stand-alone stuff.

Is someone angry because their brother runs standalone TGT?

But yes I agree, real defenses are the best.

I agree that real defense is better than stand alone, but I splash Gomer and KoT into my Egyptian defense.

It's not really splashing if the character fits into the brigade.

Red Wing · « **Reply #14 on:** April 10, 2012, 02:16:02 PM »

A standalone defense has won Nats many times, so why is a real defense 'better'?

Standalone defenses don't win Nats. TGT wins Nats (largely because of how bad standalone defenses are).

*cough cough*

Seriously though to reverberate Wraith's comment, TGT is what wins, not stand-alones. Also with the new rules I think that balanced decks that have more defense than just standalones are are the best way to go.

This. If I exchange with them I know that I am probably going to get a rude slap in the face later in the game when they take my whole banding chain and either make me tear it to pieces or kill it themselves.
