The Greatest Card -- FINALS (?) Voting Now Open

Because I'm apparently bad at counting, even though we have four cards left, we are at the FINALS.  So after the Finals, we will have the Actual Finals and then have a winner.

Champion and City Quarter tied 12-12 in the last round.  Based on more votes in previous rounds, Champion has advanced.  Also, it was a good run for the Cinderella story, #28 Disciple but now we are down to the top four seeds.

You have three days to select the winner of each of these matchups.  (Voting will end sometime Thursday.)  Use whatever criteria you like to select the "greater" card/event of the two.

1 Champion (d. #32 Artificer 28-0, #17 Ambassador 21-6, #9 City Quarter 12-12)
4 Teacher (d. #29 Lost Arts 24-4, #20 Inheritance 17-10, #28 Disciple 17-7)

3 Donate (d. #30 Colony 25-3, #19 Tournament 26-1, #6 Goons 17-7)
2 King's Court (d. #31 Princess 26-2, #15 Possession 27-0, #10 Chapel 17-7)

I thought you thought it was a slip because I said 'Jake's partners' instead of 'Roadrunner7671.'

Now that the not-actually-powerful cards have been weeded out, I'll cast a vote.

Champion, Donate

I currently imagine mail-mi wearing a dark trenchcoat and a bowler hat, hunched over a bit, toothpick in his mouth, holding a gun in his pocket.  One bead of sweat trickling down his nose.

'And what is it that ye shall hope for? Behold I say unto you that ye shall have hope through the atonement of Christ and the power of his resurrection, to be raised unto life eternal, and this because of your faith in him according to the promise." - Moroni 7:41, the Book of Mormon

The olny argument for peasant > page is that the peasant line is so much better than the page one.
When comparing teacher and champion in isolation this doesn't apply.

The boards where Champion is the reason an engine comes together are fewer than the boards where Teacher does it. And even fewer boards Champion does what Teacher can't. You'd need multiple terminal drawing actions, or some reason to put and keep a token other than +1 Action on a single pile. I think, while Champion sure is a great card, it looks much fancier than it actually is.

The permanent Lighthouse is pretty sweet, though.

Champion makes much better engines though.
Also teacher takes an extra turn.

How does it make better engines? I don't really think you often need to stack multiple different terminals that badly. Teacher can provide Extra draws, extra actions, extra coins and extra buys. Champion will only provide extra actions, but do that slightly better.
