NOTES
Nearly every single Magic: the Gathering cards are valid to be voted here, with very few exceptions. The voting does include silver-bordered cards, conspiracies and other Vintage-banned cards. It doesn't include nontraditional cards like Planes, or any kind of "card" without an entry on Oracle/Gatherer. It also doesn't include unreleased cards, so no putting any Origins spoiler card in your lists.
See the previous Voting threads for the rules about Similar Cards; they still apply here. So most land cycles such as ONS/ZEN Fetch Lands take a single entry, and the same is true for other perfectly identical cycles like ABU Mox; and many pairs of identical cards like Armageddon/Ravages of War or Evolving Wilds/Terramorphic Expanse work the same way.

Are you guys forgetting the conspiracies or just valuing them quite low? I thought Backup Plan and Double Stroke would be a shoe in?

Seems that I'm more welling to vote for more generic good card here, sine we compare all colors together, and that my opinion on some cards have change a bit since first vote. Really inaccurate with what I previously rank. Sorry for that.
Well, this voting got more time than any other and I'll not be around here until next Thursday, so I'm closing this with just the 14 votes we got. The results thread will be posted soon.
