The Headless Hunt

[I, II] Each player sacrifices a creature.
[III] Create The Dusk Rider, a legendary 4/4 black Zombie creature token with "Whenever this attacks, exile a creature card from a graveyard. If you do, you may have this become a copy of that creature until end of turn."





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.

This is a really hard tie to break guys. Why'd you have to do this to me guys? Backwoods Douser's cute, so I'd feel worst if it lost. I'm going with that one.

Please don't take this the wrong way, but we should probably figure out a different method for breaking ties (like a runoff where folks get a single vote, for instance).

From an optics perspective, it's weird when a design that you submitted from your contest gets the tiebreaker vote (even if you didn't vote in the original post).

I dunno, I vote for designs I nominated all the time, and the only real difference here is that TP's making his vote public. (and he only gets one.) if he was also voting normally then yeah, it'd look like favoritism, but as-is the designs TP supports are actually slightly less likely to win, so it doesn't really read as unfair to me.

That's valid. I think I misremembered if TP votes in the original and added that as an afterthought.
Definitely not trying to pin anything on TP because I appreciate all the hard work that goes into these threads.

if it helps, back when I was running PT the mods gave me the ability to see who voted in polls to prevent cheating, so I can always confirm that TP didn't vote in any given poll if needed.
