Manasseh can win a battle without enhancements, but he has to either discard 2 ECs or band to someone else to do it.  KoT often wins battles without enhancements all by himself.
Raw Power = KoT

Manasseh is critical to a brown defense (and gets awesome protection from his fort) with access to Haman's Plot.  He also is critical to a Magician defense (and can hold Magic Charms).  KoT is critical to a gold defense (so someone can block after Journey to Egypt).  Brown and Magicians combined are definitely more powerful than evil gold.
Natural Brigade = Manasseh

If your going to splash a brown EC with HP into other decks, Gomer or Uzzah are both better.  If your going to splash a magician with Magic Charms into other decks, there are also probably better options depending on your main brigade.  However, KoT is the definition of splash and goes into just about any deck.
Splashability = KoT

Manasseh gives the choice to autoblock in a way that almost no one is protected from, or to do a banding chain, or to block solo and have init to play some great enhs (HP, FH, etc.)  KoT always does the same thing by canceling everything and being huge.
Versatility = Manasseh

KoT is one of the most expensive cards in the game and if you have one you could trade for Manasseh and a bunch of other stuff.
Trade Value Tiebreaker = KoT

Winner = KoT

Manasseh makes Tyrus look like a mere prince.

I really don't know why I'm posting, since everybody knows I voted Manny. KoT beat SWS unjustly. Manny will beat KoT. More justly than how SWS was beaten.

With all his "accessories" (Gates, Charms, 2k Horses), Manasseh is clearly better. But you still need to draw all that stuff...KoT can do it on his own and also has a few CBN options as well (Evil Spirit, Wonders Forgotten).

Manasseh has huge potential, and even on his own can still be a menace. KoT has good potential, but just isn't what he used to be. Almost every battle-winner used today has no problems with KoT.
I am not talking about T2 unless I am explicitly talking about T2. Also Mayhem is fine now somehow!

No, not normally.  But it could give init if you were attacked by someone larger than that.  And so it still gives another option for Manasseh, thus versatility :)

this must be a late april fools joke. manasseh has a larger toolbox, thus larger potential.

Actually, the KoT that beat SWS was Orange. He got beat by Wandering Spirit. SWS has been avenged.

KoT is KoT, regardless of color. My vengeance will not be complete until KoT is destroyed once and for all.
