Yes, as Demonic Blockade returns Miriam to territory.

Yes, because you will get initiative after it is played. If your offense were 3 higher, though, you would not.

This is correct because if Women of Israel was still winning then you would still be killing King Manessah and he would then have initiative since he is still losing.

Wouldn't it have to be seven higher? Because King Manasseh would be 6/12 after playing demonic blockade. If I am correct even then I would have intiative to negate, I am just unsure about the color I am allowed to use. Let me make a sepearte scenario:
I make an RA with 12/5 gold hero who bands to a 4/4 green hero (by character special ability). I am blocked by King Manasseh like in the original scenario and DB is played, After DB is played it would result in Mutual Destruction so I would get intiative to play the next card, but could I use a green negate?

If I understand correctly, after he plays his EE, neither character is losing (stalemate), so initiative passes to the player who did NOT play the last enhancement...am I right?

Close. Because Miriam is no longer in battle (Demonic Blockade negates Women of Israel's ability), Women of Israel is losing the battle (6/12 vs 5/4), and Miriam can play a negate because of the losing state (and because she was just kicked out of battle). If Women of Israel was 12/7, then Miriam could not play the negate.

You are saying Miriam can negate...in other words she can play negate enhancement before she leaves battle, and thus is able to stay?

Ring Wraith is correct.
