Last Week's Winner



The poll: viewtopic.php?f=17&t=28569
The quip: Dance monkeys, dance! Dance to the tune of the organ grinder!
The Winner



The Contenders




Siege Master
Creature - Human Knight (R)
First Strike

Where artillery can't open the gate, starvation can.
2/2


Herald of Hopelessness
Creature - Horror Cleric
This creature enters with x insignificance counters.
Creatures your opponent controls get -1/-1 for each insignificance counter on this creature.
"It's the smallest, most pathetic horror you could even imagine, and that is what drives the point home"
0/1


Omnath, Newborn Locus
Legendary Creature - Elemental (R)
When Omnath, Newborn Locus enters the battlefield, add X mana of any one color.

The song of creation, the voices of all.

If a nonland permanent is marked with damage equal to or greater than its mana value, destroy it.

"It doesn't burn yet."
0/2




The Rules



How To Nominate:
Quote the post with the card you want to nominate. Delete everything in that post other than the card. Copy and paste your quote into a post on this thread.
If you did it right the quote tag should link to the original post.

What's Eligible?
Any fan-designed M:TG card posted since the most recent CotW thread went live is eligible. It doesn't even have to be the first time the card was posted. Yes, Un cards are valid. No, Yugioh cards are not.

What's Not Eligible?
  • Nominating your own cards. You can only nominate cards by other people.
  • Nominating a card from your own repost, regardless of whether or not the original post was yours.
  • Nominations that result from collusion. If a nomination is made in exchange for some sort of favor, or under some sort of threat, then the nomination is void.
  • Cards that have already won CotW are not eligible for future CotWs.
  • Nominations that I consider to be jokes or trolling.

A Note On Contests:
Many contest holders feel that having an entrant nominated for CotW will skew the results of their contest. To prevent this while still allowing those cards their chance at nomination, any card submitted to a contest is eligible for nomination to CotW as though the date the contest (or pertinent round of the contest) ended was the date the card was posted.

given that Ball/Chain exists, the option to vote for multiple cards is irrelevant anyway

:fixed:

Poll has been reset You'll have to vote for Ball & Chain all over again
But literally, it is the only card that had any votes before this.

Cool! Way to go forum!
Has it always worked that way? It warns me that changing things up will "reset the poll", but maybe it just resets the timer?

Alara's Rejoining

Enchantment (M)
At the beginning of your upkeep, search your library for a basic land card that doesn't share a type with another basic land you control, put it onto the battlefield, then shuffle. Then if there are five or more land types among basic lands you control, sacrifice Alara's Rejoining and create a Fusion Elemental token. (It's a 8/8 Elemental creature.)

Quantum Overdrive
Enchantment (R)
Discard a card: Exile the top card of your library. You may play it this turn.
Fblthp was rarely ready for anything, but he certainly wasn't ready for this.


The Ego
Legendary Enchantment (R)
When The Ego enters the battlefield, look at the top seven cards of your library, then exile them into a randomized face-down pile. Draw a card.
If you would draw a card, you may instead put a card exiled by The Ego into your hand.

Highfold Drakeling
Creature - Drake (U)
Flying
Whenever Highfold Drakeling attacks, stash the top card of your library. (Exile it. It gains ", Discard a card: Put this card into your hand.")
: Return Highfold Drakeling to its owner's hand.
Poachers in Highfold often track drakelings to their roosts, hoping to profit not just from their valuable fangs and talons but also from the hoards of trinkets they keep.
1/2

woohoo! I think this win finally ties me up with Rush in the Hall of Fame! (I know it's not entirely up to date, but I'm pretty sure we've both won once since last time it was updated.)

At some point, I meant to go through and see who nominated that most wins ever. I thought that'd be an interesting quality to have. If it were a badge, it'd be "Talent Agent" or something similar.

I intend to do this. I'd be surprised if the Top 3 wasn't raz, TP, and myself.

Sorry I haven't updated the Hall of Fame in a while. I'll do another pass sooner or later.

I'd actually expect neru to be in there over me. I don't spend a lot of time in the game threads, which is where a lot of winners have historically come from, so while I've been a pretty significant nominating force over the last year and a half or so with YMtCotW, I think before that I probably didn't have much on that front.
