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.

*"To YMTC it up" means to design cards that have value mostly from a design perspective. i.e. you would put them in a case under glass in your living room and visitors could remark upon the wonderful design principles, with nobody ever worring if the cards are annoying/pointless/confusing in actual play
Congratulations to TP, razor, and myself for collectively accounting for over 45% of all winning CotW nominations!
Shouts to Dudibus for being a solid fourth. And good job to CommanderJim, Flopfoot, and neru for tying for fifth.
Interestingly, there have been 538 Cards of the Week, and Election Day is the day after tomorrow. (For those not in the land of the free, our presidential nominees are fighting over 538 electoral votes.) Imagine that!
This was an incredibly tedious process, but uncovering four lost cards that otherwise would never have been added to the Past Winners section makes it all worth it. I hope you all enjoy the data!
That's sort of my reaction. Like, I feel sometimes that I'm remiss on doing my CotW nomination pleasantries. But I suppose I have run Pro Tour a few times and likely did some strong nominating from that.

Preferred Pronoun Set: they
and yeah, pretty surprised by my numbers as well. to be fair I've probably nominated about half the cards for the last year or two, but still, they often don't win which means I had quite a bunch from before then too. hard to remember sometimes just how long we've all been doing this.
