WINNER: Proud Pharisee

I agree about PP.  He is great as a converted hero, and he is decent as an EC.  But Neb us GREAT as an EC.  So if we're talking about which is the better EC, I've gotta go with Neb.

T2 players might disagree because Nazareth seems to be more prevalent in T2 decks, but if I'm attacking, I'm much more concerned about my opponent's defense if he has Neb sitting in his territory with some horses on him, than I am if they have PP in their territory.

PP is srsly imba. Nebby is mediocre really: it's easily stoppable, and his ability is overrated. What can he grab? Anything CBN? Not really. It gets better if he has horses on him, but I'm not going to let my opponent play whatever they want if that's the case....

I am 10x more concerned that he has an d2 autoplay in a brigade with CBN immunity

Again, I think this is a T2 perspective.  A T1 deck is only gonna have 1 of those EEs, so that's really not that impressive.  Nebby has way more versatility with the ability to grab any other crimson character or EE from the deck.

And, in T1, Nazereth is more prevelent, so we are even.

pp is better in type two, nebby is better in type one. PP has to draw an enhancemnt or have an enhancement in hand. When you consider outside factors like nazereth in type two pp is better not only because of what he can play first CBN but because search isn't as big of an issue when you are drawing 6 cards and have multiples of the enhancements in your deck. 5x balaams and however many Gold sheilds you choose to play with.. It is also nice to drop a self righteous prayer if you know they have an aocp or something.

In essence nebuchadnezzar is straight up better than pp but there are to many other factors hindering him to warrant my vote.

What? Nazzy is WAY more prevalent in T2.

Not in the games I have played.

All of you guys need to get offline* and travel to real life tournaments.   



* I'm completely kidding, and I, of course, fully support the online tournaments...in fact, I have missed them since starting my schooling.  They will make you a better player.

Proud Pharisee I think?
