Nebuchadnezzar/Esau, the Hunter/Swift Horses

(First post woo! Also not sure if someone posted this already)
So I was just thinking of the new Esau, the Hunter promo which reads:
You may search deck for an animal or edomite. If blocking, you may discard an animal to draw 2 and play an O.T. enhancement. Cannot be interrupted.
I then saw Nebuchadnezzar who:
If no Daniel Hero is in play, search deck for an O.T. crimson card and add it to hand or battle. Cannot be negated.
Finally Swift Horses:
Interrupt the battle and draw two cards. If used by a Babylonian, you may play the next Enhancement.
So, I'm not sure if you can do this but it sounds like you could(forgive me if this order is wrong).:

Let's say you have Nebuchadnezzar w/ Swift Horses in territory with no Daniel Heroes in play, you block a hero who can be interrupted. You search deck for Esau and add him to battle, Esau is CBI and activates, searches for an andimal/edomite, discards an animal in play to draw two and play an O.T. Enhancement(let's say Great Image), then Swift Horses draws two and you play the next enhancement(for example Scattered against banded heroes or Nebuchadnezzar's Pride and not being negated) and the battle is ended.

Now you have activated Great Image, blocked successfully, drawn 4 cards, and searched for 2. My question is if what I described works and what order it would all activate in? Even if it doesn't work it still sounded fun in my head and now you know if you didn't already.

The combo you described works though one extra step is required. The animal that Esau searches for goes to your hand so you would need to have an animal (or your opponent could have one!) in play already for Esau to discard--he cannot discard the one he searches for.

Another thing is that there are currently no battle winner enhancements that are CBN when played by Nebuchadnezzar. You would need something like Asherah Pole active and for your opponent to be attacking with an OT Hero in order to guarantee that you win the battle.

Alright that's good to know. A battle ender I was thinking of was something like Nebuchadnezzar's Pride(I know it's not CBN) if your opponent cannot play something to stop it or using the combo against banded heroes and playing Scattered. I'll change the original post for an example instead to hopefully clear that up. I also didn't know that  about Esau and I'm glad I learned it. Thank you!

Against a band, Scattered would be devastating for sure! Anytime you can pull off Great Image and Scattered in the same battle, your opponent will end up at a huge disadvantage.

That actually happened to me against Vega on ROOT. I almost cried.

Arrogance makes these combos possible too, especially if you can band in Nergalsherezer and play an OT battle winner on him.
