Re: 2016 Decks of the Year Contest - THE WINNERS!
Congrats to all the winners and thanks once again to everyone at UC for a great contest!
For my 4th place prize, I would love to have shermjack's Tier 2 prize, the Carat X6 w/decks from Asia.
I believe that makes sms69x next to pick.

Re: 2016 Decks of the Year Contest - THE WINNERS!
Great contest this year, way harder to select our "bests", but all well deserved.
Many thanks to the guy that arranged the contest and also to all the donators.
I'll be passing this year on the prize draw...
So next is joeblow

Re: 2016 Decks of the Year Contest - THE WINNERS!
Great contest once again. The winners are well deserved.
This process is a great chance to review all the decks from the year. There were actually very few duds produced and many good ones. But about a dozen decks stood out. What I notice across them is attention to detail in all areas of the art and the execution. Coincidentally (maybe?) these creators are very proud of their process and try to show some of it to us in their projects.
I'm happy to pick Räpylätassu's brick 1. Passing to ivan.

Re: 2016 Decks of the Year Contest - THE WINNERS!
Once again, what an amazing contest! Thanks Joe and Mike! Picks for 2016 was especially difficult with the number of exceptional and very well produced decks currently in the market. Special thanks to all the hard work and innovations designers have incorporated into their product. Also, not forgetting the generous sponsors.
I will go with the brick by PrincessTrouble.
Passing in on to Räpylätassu.

Odd, he was in both groups, but still had Deck Artist selected as primary. I found one other user that way, and fixed them both.Räpylätassu wrote:Well I certainly hope that 2017 offers a new deck from you. Or two.52Ravens wrote:Congratulations to all the winners, 2016 was a great year for deck design, I can't wait to see what 2017 offers
Why is Kirk still a deck artist and not verified designer? Mike come explain this...
Believe it or not we have a total of 180 members between both groups
If anyone else is in need of an upgrade, let me know.

Re: 2016 Decks of the Year Contest - THE WINNERS!
Thanks to Joe & Mike for organizing another great annual deck of the year contest and to all the sponsors for their donations! Congrats to all the winners!
For my prize, I would like to select the Noir Arts half brick! Here's hoping for a Defunctorum deck as that is one of the few NA projects I haven't backed, but looking forward to the decks regardless
Calypso, you're up!

Hi all, thank you for everybody who contributed to this contest this year and congrats to all winners!
I gladly pick sarone13's tier and go for the cocktail hour deck. I missed the Kickstarter campaign and I'm happy I can still get one, since I have a thing for simplistic and elegant back designs.
Rouselle, you're next

Re: 2016 Decks of the Year Contest - THE WINNERS!
Even at the tail end of the reward picking, there's still some awesome choices left. Believe it or not, I had a difficult time choosing. Even so, I'll opt for the Branle Tesoro from Noir Arts. Thanks, everyone, for offering such fantastic prizes, and to MontecarloJoe for running this year's contest!
Truly, a tough year to make some choices, given how amazing the cards were throughout the year.

Thanks to everyone for once again putting together a great contest. A special thanks to those who opted out of receiving prizes. Originally, I missed the prize pool by one point. But thanks to a few people's unselfeshness, I was able to qualify aftert all. Thanks.
I'll take the Noir arts tier 1: the mixed half brick. It will be great to finally be able to see the quality of their product.
Over to you StepChild.

Great job everybody picking and passing this year.
Again, thanks to everyone and I forgot to point to prize contributions in my previous post.
Just truly well done all around, especially Joe with the masterful coordination and supervision. You all make us look great! I can't wait to see what 2017 brings... It's already off to a good start.
