Thanks to all 24 voters!
Trivia, Useless Ramblings, and Facts (TURF)
Variety is the Spice of Unlife - 51 different cards were voted upon compared to 45 in 2016 despite having 2 fewer voters this year.
Getting Schooled - The top 4 looks quite different with Demonic Tutor and Vampiric Tutor moving from 3rd and 4th respectively to 1st and 3rd. I think the new guidelines that permit people to refrain from voting for cards they don't have experience with was a big part of this since Mind Twist (#2) and Recurring Nighmare (#4)both had 21 people vote for them, but Demonic Tutor and Vampiric Tutor had 24 and 22 people respectively.
Newcomers and Dead Droppers - Both Animate Dead and Ophiomancer jumped into slots #19 and #20 they were the first two cards out in 2016. Shriekmaw dropped out but only moved from 19th to 23rd. Languish on the other hand went from #20 to getting a single vote in 2019 putting it at 44th. Ouch!
I'm dreading the guild weeks....50 slots each of the two weeks and having to come up with numbers 6-10 of each guild when I've never played more than 5 slots deep. Not gonna be fun.
