As much I like Moses, Sam is the better hero.

Sam is only the better hero in T2. Moses rescues way more souls than Samuel in T1.

Very true, I played a game the other day where I was down 4-0, but pulled Moses.  He just sighed as beefcake walked on by for 4 rescues in a row, and I ended up winning.

If that had been the only time, I wouldn't vote for Moses, but he saves my bacon more than you'd think

I voted for Samuel for a few reasons. First, there's better FBTN options than Moses these days; while the Aaron/Moses band is potent, Ira and Beneniah both have multiple heroes who can band to them, with some very solid banding chains being formed as a result. On the other hand, Sam also offers some great banding options (he can band to five heroes that are found in a lot of Sam decks off the top of my head), and of course, he's a potential +6 or +9 (or even as much as a +15).

If you want to play Red/Purple, sure, but the teal/green variant is much better IMO, and Moses is the driving force behind that.

Count my Moses vote as another anti-Sam vote.  Don't get me wrong, I like Moses, but I dislike all these Sam decks out there even more.

There are more variants than Red/Purple and Teal/Green (or Gold). Use your imagination.

My Sam deck was a Red/Purple/Teal/Gold (without Ahimilek), and is now a Green/Purple/Teal/Gold. That's a bit of creativity.

A purple monkey is eating a tangerine while at the disco?

Pol always said a monkey with opposable thumbs could play a speed deck, but I think you've gone a bit overboard...

I actually like Moses better here.

Samuel is awesome as part of an overall deck.  But Moses wins LSs all by himself.

Sam fits in a variety of decks, but so does Moses.

If HHI (common anti-meta card) is turned on, Sam can't even enter battle, but Moses works just fine :)

Sticking with classics, tried and proven time and again.
The only reason people get lost in thought is because it's unfamiliar territory.

I did opt to change it, but it doesn't affect that Moses is still winning.  ;D

I actually made one once. It had stuff like Aaron (Di), and Consider the Lilies, lost Coin, and Moses & Elders to spam Transfig.

Just add Gangsta' to his long list of identifiers.

He can also play "Moses Caps an Egyptian" with CBN status.

I'm just trying to make it clear that, if Sam should lose this vote, the only spread offenses that people are allowed to complain about are those with Moses in them.  ;)
