We had 19 voters across the MTGS Cube forum, MTGS Multiplayer forum, WotC Multiplayer forum and my own playgroup. Thanks for your votes, guys!
Balance actually had the most top votes (with five, just ahead of ***, which had four). Both cards appeared in 15 of the 19 lists. Wrath just got the top votes by being higher in people's lists more consistently (in other words, it's a bit less polarising than Balance is).
Those 19 people voted for 104 different cards. 60 of those received multiple votes.
New to the Top 20 this year are Armageddon, Replenish, Academy Rector, Humility and Avacyn, Angel of Hope. Four of these five are old favourites simply getting the recognition they deserve. It also means that the only half-decent white multiplayer card printed in the last year or so was Avacyn (go on, debate that)!
We had 13 voters across the MTGS Cube forum, MTGS Multiplayer forum, WotC Multiplayer forum and my own playgroup. Thanks for your votes, guys!
Ancestral Recall was the ultimate polarising card. It received 6 of the 13 top votes, but only appeared in seven lists, and never appeared lower than third. Rite of Replication appeared in 11 of the 13 lists.
Those 13 people voted for 95 different cards. 45 of those received multiple votes.
Insurrection tops the list by virtue of being the only card to receive multiple top votes (with two of the nine available). Every other card with a top vote received one only.
Defense and Green Sun's Zenith were the only cards to receive multiple top votes (each with two of the nine available). Every other card with a top vote received one only.
New to the Top 20 this year are All is Dust, Oblivion Stone, Wurmcoil Engine and Batterskull. O-Stone, Wurmcoil and Batterskull were just outside the 20 last year, and how everyone missed All is Dust last year, I'll never know. These four are simply good cards that were overlooked in last year's voting.
We had 7 voters across the MTGS Cube forum, MTGS Multiplayer forum, WotC Multiplayer forum and my own playgroup. Thanks for your votes, guys!
Every card that received a top vote got multiples. The Revised Duals head the list with three top votes, but were almost chased down by both Tolarian Academy and Library of Alexandria (which both received two).
Those 7 people voted for 108 different cards (mostly in cycles, thankfully)! 61 of those received multiple votes.
There are no new entries to the Top 20 this year, mostly because we've split out the duals and fetches in a few cases in 2013 (where we didn't last year).
