I would vote for Daniel if he hadn't have beaten Susanna.

I don't understand how Daniel is losing this....

If Daniel is a better hero than Susanna, then he is most definitely a better hero than Salome.......

I don't understand how Daniel even got here. I've actually seen Salome used before.

Lets try out the new feature:

[card_browser]
Daniel [Promo]
Salome
[/card_browser]

Blah, neither one has an image in this database.  :P Double clicking on a card does bring up the info though.

yay, they got fixed.

Salome is about as good as Suzanna.  Daniel beat Suzy, so he should beat Salome as well.

Agreed, Daniel is clearly the better hero here, I'll post another impact calculus in a minute to show that.

However what about Daniel?  Dan counters everything in the meta defense even Gomer in some cases with his negates (+4 impact)  He can band or look at hand, both useful abilities (+3 impact) as for enhancement stuff he's white/green giving him access to lots of awesome stuff and the ability to use HT for preblock wins (+3 impact).  Lastly his CBN rounds him off well. (+2 impact)  Total impact for Dan 12

Search deck for TGT or N.T. cov, now that's pretty useful for a TGT deck. (+3 impact).  Ignore ECs w/weapons, this is nice for getting around horsies, a helpful ability. (+2 impact).  Salome is a TGT character (+4 impact), She actually has a good identifier (+ 1 impact).  Total for Salome 10.

Dan finishes with a two point advantage over Salome.

Not really, seeing as Salome can search for TGT, use TGT, and search for The New Cov.

That's important yes, I gave it a healthy 3 impact points but it still isn't enough to overcome Daniels capacity to do so much.  So I don't see the justification for Salome over Dan.  Where in my impact calculus would you say that I errored? Did I not factor in something or do you think I'm putting too much weight on something?  From here it seems like Dan is clearly better,  I'm willing to admit I'm wrong, but I need some convincing first.

Being a TGT girl is +4 impact. Being a TGT girl and tutoring for your sacky win strat is +9000. Salome wins.

OK I'll update it with another impact for Salome, and I'll give her another + 1 for her identifiers, something I didn't factor in before, Daniel still comes out ahead though.

I repeat. Daniel doesn't need to be here. Daniel doesn't fit in a GOOD(sorry chronic) deck. Thus he shouldn't be here.

One thing to note is that Salome is a fair amount better than Susanna was. I think they have abilities that are comparable in scope, but being able to use TGT is huge, and does give her a huge leap over Susanna in my opinion. That said, I still voted for Daniel, though I'll vote against him if he manages this to face off with MMoJ.

Red, simply put, yes he does.

A good deck is not a prophets deck chronic. Most green decks I must say frankly, are bad.

Being serious now, here is what it should look like if we're scaling from 1 to 4:

Daniel
Anti-meta: +4
Band or Look at hand: + 1
Green/White: +0
Negate fortresses: + 1
Negate NT enhancements: + 1
Prophet: + 2
CBN: + 1.5
TOTAL: 10.5

Salome
TGT user: +4
TGT tutor: +4
NT Female: +2
NT covenant tutor: + 1
Ignore EC's holding weapons: + 1
TOTAL: 12

I think this is a much more fair evaluation.

I'd argue that having two brigades is worth another 1.5 points.

I agree with MKC. Being white/green is overrated.

2 brigades is useless if you're negating the side that the best enhancements are NT.

what good Daniel heroes are there to band to? Michael, ok. But who else? White/green isn't really worth that much. None of the Daniel stuff is CBN, and none of it is very good anyway. First Fruits & Words are good, but are you really going to use those with just one character (assuming your not using a Daniel based deck)?
