"I'm an 8/8 hero..."

"Cool, I block with a */10 evil character."

"Oh...well...good game?"

Philip/Bart is much better. You can just heal if they're discarded, and they can't be captured, as well has having huge CBN banding.

Sam has the same situation with Aaron/Moses.
CoT helps with that one, and if you're running straight Di without it, I won't feel sorry for you when you lose.

You're not really helping your argument much. Even when Disciples do lack in an area, they have something else to make up for it...

The problem with this thread is there has been no discussion of deck building oppurtunity costs. As a resident Economics major, I have now taken it upon myself to produce such an analysis. Expect it to come up sometime by the end of this weekend.

I was making your argument stronger so that mine would be a better comparison. You have yet to comment on Aaron/Moses.

I don't there's much of a comment to make. Aaron/Moses is strong; arguably the strongest two hero band in the game. Phil/Bart gains the advantage of capture protection, but Moses negates special abilities. I'd argue that Aaron/Moses is slightly more vulnerable in the mid-game from things like Plot, Writ, or Charms, but I'd rather have them in the end game.

Define end game. When you are about to win? Or when both players are close to, or have decked out. If you have decked out and are close to winning, does that mean end game? Now what if your opponent has a solid deck left with plenty of defense? End game is too opinionated.

"About to win" doesn't work as a definition because it doesn't matter what you have when you're about to win. I'd argue the end game is one or both players have 10> cards in their deck and the game is still close.

I would define "End-game" as: when your deck is about to end the game. Think of it as follow through, giving a good, quick start and ending in the same way: Quickly and powerfully.

This is only an opinion, so please treat it that way.
