Hello Cube Enthusiasts! The Ranking Project Continues!
This thread is to vote on your top 20 BLACK cards for cube per the following prompt:
Please rank the top 20 (BLACK) cards in cube in consideration of the below factors:
- How critical this card is to winning.
- How frequently you would maindeck this card in a deck playing this color/guild/shard/wedge (or just in general if colorless).
- How important is this card within your cube.
Voting: You have from M-F (Sunday [Today] is fine too as I posted this early) to vote for your top 20. You can only vote for cards printed through M20 (this includes anything from M20). Please list your top 20 using a numbered list with Spoiler Tags/Card Tags (see my vote for a formatting example).
You do not have to vote for options you do not personally have experience with, but you certainly may if you feel comfortable doing so.
Votes after Friday are not guaranteed to count (same goes for edits). Nothing other than your votes should be posted here and no partial lists will be accepted.
Results will be compiled and presented by the Sunday following the day you voted.
CARDS THAT ARE INCLUDED ON THIS VOTING
* Volrath's Stronghold, Cabal Coffers, Phyrexian Tower and any other land able to produce only black mana, or that produces colorless mana but has abilities that cost black mana (and no other color).
* Dismember, Vault Skirge, and other "hybrid" black/colorless cards.
* Lashwrithe, Dross Golem, Cranial Plating, Scrapheap Scrounger and other colorless artifacts with abilities costing black mana or that requires you to control swamps, black permanents or play black spells.
Cards that don't belong on your list are:
* Vivid Marsh and other lands able to produce 'mana of any color', even if their 'main' color is black. Their voting group is LANDS.
* Tasigur, the Golden Fang, Brutal Hordechief, Unburial Rites, Harbor Bandit and any other black card with abilities that cost mana of other colors or that require you to control lands of other basic types. Their voting group is GUILD or 3+ COLOR.
* Rakdos Cackler, Deathrite Shaman and other hybrids cards with other color. Their voting group is also GUILD or 3+ COLOR.
* Mox Jet, Leaden Myr and other colorless artifacts that produce black mana but have no ability costing black mana or that requires you to control Swamps. Their voting group is COLORLESS.
* Cards with the CONSPIRACY type (Note that other black cards from Conspiracy or Conspiracy: Take the Crown expansions can be voted on here, including those that reference the draft in their rules text (e.g. Regicide)
* Silver-bordered cards from Unhinged or Unglued (e.g. Booster Tutor) and holiday promo cards (e.g. Evil Presents) have also been excluded by popular vote from this year's Power Rankings. They will be voted on in a separate category after the OVERALL Power Rankings have concluded.
