)I would like more time. Having a newborn makes it tough to devote as much time to cards as I used to but I'd also like to contribute another prize this year. I haven't had time to check my inventory but hopefully soon..sinjin7 wrote:Being able to visually see all the eligible decks would be an immense help to jog the memory. And maybe we can extend the voting period by a couple of weeks as well if we do this to give people time for more informed voting.
Just because you couldn't offer traditional tucks doesn't mean we don't appreciate your contribution to the playing card world. And kudos for not tucking your tail between you leg!VXD wrote:Ladies and Gents
We would like to offer the following to UC members from our 2017 Mk.1 edition:
1 Stars and Stripes FDI Set
1 Single Black FDI Deck
I understand that extremely few members of UC actually possess one of our decks and hence we can't realistically be included in any of the judgements. Maybe this prize gift can go one step towards overcoming that issue for the future. As far as I'm concerned every deck out there rather than with us in storage is a good thing for us. I hope it provides a nice prize for 2 winners
Kind regards
That’s awesome that you are donating some decks, thanks!VXD wrote:Ladies and Gents

Are you saying he only has one leg? That's a pretty serious insult, I might have to ban you for thatvasta41 wrote:And kudos for not tucking your tail between you leg!

Agreed with the previous posters, it's very generous of you to offer up prizes, VXD!
I created an account 'UC 2017 Deck of the Year' (https://www.portfolio52.com/profile/10383/collection) and will PM you the login credentials. You can then use and share with anybody you trust to help add to the collection. I would suggest breaking out the work logically to minimize duplicate efforts - Person A does Kickstarter decks with deck name or artist last names A-M, Person B does N-Z, Person C does non Kickstarter decks, Person D browses search of 2017, Person E browses PCF list, Person F reviews/validates all added periodically to meet rules, etc.rousselle wrote:Yeah, I'm thinking the best thing to do is extend the deadline. And, a couple weeks should be fine. However, I have no idea how I can come up with the time to put together a special account on P52. Do I have any volunteers to help?
Decks must be released between January 1st, 2017 and December 31st, 2017.
Decks that are not released in 2017 are ineligible.
Reissued versions of established decks may be declared ineligible if no significant change was made to the original design.
KS Decks must be delivered in 2017 to be considered.
KS decks that started delivery in 2016 and concluded delivery in 2017 are eligible ONLY if not voted for in the 2016 competition.
KS decks that start delivery in 2017 and concluded delivery in 2018 are eligible, but will not be eligible in the 2018 competition if voted for in the 2017 competition.
If your entry contains an ineligible deck you will be informed and allowed to re-enter.

The hardest category for me this and every year is best innovation- there are so many options! Between the Vertex Deck, Prism Gilded, Apothecary, and anything Lotrek made, I have a hard time deciding.Bradius wrote:This just seems way too much work. I don't know how you all managed it in the past. Some categories, I am just befuddled to guess at as I am just not in a place to grade those categories. The bigger problem is just simply coming up with a list of the possible decks...Maybe we should have an ongoing thread for 2018 at least to list the possibly eligible decks with a link to the cards to make judging a bit easier next year.
Rainbow unicorns is topping my list so far I think.
But, but... THOSE ARE COMPLETELY DIFFERENT TYPES OF DECKS!!!vasta41 wrote:As far as the categories go I pretty much flip a coin when it comes to voting for the best flourishing, fanning, and magic decks (myself and others have suggested combining those categories into one years ago to no avail)

As far as the categories go I pretty much flip a coin when it comes to voting for the best flourishing, fanning, and magic decks (myself and others have suggested combining those categories into one years ago to no avail). And that coin that I flip isn't one from any KS campaign since I don't collect coins, I collect cards. So that vote is also a coin flip. Almost every year we "vote" to add/subtract new categories but almost every year no headway is made. So like it or not, the categories you see are the categories you're gonna get.
As far as a deck index, thanks to PrincessTrouble here are two references: http://www.playingcardforum.com/index.p ... c=9997.150" onclick="window.open(this.href);return false;" onclick="window.open(this.href);return false;" onclick="window.open(this.href);return false;" onclick="window.open(this.href);return false;" onclick="window.open(this.href);return false; and http://www.playingcardforum.com/index.php?topic=10798.0" onclick="window.open(this.href);return false;" onclick="window.open(this.href);return false;" onclick="window.open(this.href);return false;" onclick="window.open(this.href);return false;" onclick="window.open(this.href);return false;. That's probably the most complete list out there. It would be nice if something like that existed on UC but I know it would be a HUGE undertaking and I certainly don't have the time to volunteer lol.
Except that's not eligible since it wasn't delivered until Feb 2018Bradius wrote:Rainbow unicorns is topping my list so far I think.
There's at least one strong contestant missing there: Divine Art by GPCC - Though the realase date on P52 shows 2016 (which matchs the printing on the deck) the deck was only delivered in 2017.ecNate wrote:Umm, guys, see here. P52 User - UC 2017 Deck of the Year
If anybody wants to volunteer to keep expanding it let me know.

I was waiting for her to post it but I just dug it up myself. 2017 decks appear to start here.rousselle wrote:Fellow moderator Princess Trouble had been keeping a running tally over at PlayingCardForum.com of both KS and commercial releases. Here's a link to the part of the list that commences in July of 2017: http://www.playingcardforum.com/index.php?topic=10798.0. I know that there were posts for earlier in the year, but I can't find them at the moment. Princess? Do you know where they are?
