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

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.

Ring Wraith is correct.
