★★★★★ - VOTE FOR BEST OF 2012 - ★★★★★
Welcome to the first annual voting for the best cards in the industry this year. Now that 2012 is officially past, we can look back over the past 366 days and discuss, argue and (of course) VOTE on your favorite decks. We won't have your typical categories you might be expecting such as 'Best Box Art' or 'Best Back Art' as those have been discussed a million times before. Also, there are no 'worst' categories, let's keep this fun and upbeat! Here is the best part, each person who votes is automatically entered to win one of three prizes* just for voting! When the results are posted (January 12th) we will also be posting three random winners.To submit your votes COPY & PASTE THE BLOCK BELOW with your answer after the arrow (➙). Remember, any deck you list must have been released in 2012. For example, the 'Americana' deck was funded on Kickstarter in late-2011, but was released to the public in early-2012. All categories are optional but please vote in as many as you can.
Need help remembering the hundreds(!) of decks that came out this past year? Check out our massive DECK LIST! It has 99% of the decks released in 2012, keep in mind there are decks from other years in there too, so be careful.

You may only vote for 1 deck for each category. If you put more than one the vote will be thrown out. Voting ends JANUARY 10th at 5pm (EST). Votes will be counted and the results will be posted on Friday the 12th. You may only create one 'vote' reply in this thread. Feel free to change your vote (edit your post) up until the polls close. There will not be an overall or grand prize, each category will have it's own winner. Designers, YES you can vote for yourselves (just like a real election), but please try and be objective as possible.
* - The three prizes will be given away randomly to three different people who vote in this thread. The prizes are: 1. Signed uncut sheet of 'Sanguine' playing cards. 2. Brick of 'Hornet' playing cards. 3. Deck of Penn & Teller playing cards, SIGNED by Penn and Teller.
