If this was the other Centurion, then maybe it would be close.  But Jephthah is just too good for this guy.  Both are great for a solid red deck.  But Jephthah is totally a better splash into several other kinds of decks.

Jepthah has better versatility, for sure. I can't think of a reason not to include him in a red deck. There are plenty to avoid using Centurion at Calvary. Like the fact that he's awful.

Jephthah has gotten progressively less useful as more and more territory protection has been added. CP pretty much sealed his fate as a mediocre character from this point on. I do include him in my Red decks usually, but the fact that he's not WC is his biggest downfall.

Centurion at Calvary is probably the best Red Hero in the game, with the exceptions of Spy and Asahel.

Centurion at Capernaum>Centurion at Calvary.

At first glance that seems true because of the site negation. However, Red really has no reason to negate sites: there's no real territory destruction, searching, shuffling, or ignoring that goes on in battle within the brigade (A Soldier's Prayer works better outside of battle, and can search discard pile anyway; Jephthah needs to be banded in). Negating all Evil Characters and weapons is far more useful.

That said, I use both Centurions in my Red T2 deck, but I have found Calvary to be much more useful.

About the only thing Capernaum has on Calvary is negating Herod's Dungeon.
I am not talking about T2 unless I am explicitly talking about T2. Also Mayhem is fine now somehow!
