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.

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

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.

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.

Well I certainly hope that 2017 offers a new deck from you. Or two.

Why is Kirk still a deck artist and not verified designer? Mike come explain this...

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.

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.

I'll take nECr0MaNCeD's mystery brick! Passing to Sunz!

I willpick Sinjin7 prize!

Thank you, was looking for those mana reserve decks for a while!

I'll contact you soon, I'm from Italy!

I guess I'm next!

I'd love to take Räpylätassu's 2nd brick, if I may. Looks like there's quite a few interesting decks included! Thanks to everyone who donated!

Over to JuFin!

I'll take Vasta41's Mixed half brick!

That means TGunitedcardists is up!

First of all, I'd like to thank UC for running the contest and all the people that donated prizes. Thank you!

First time I've entered the contest. I finished u̶n̶l̶u̶c̶k̶y̶ lucky number 13!

I will choose the generous, "Lorenzo Gaggiotti Tier 1: Half brick of Le Chat Rouge + 6 copper coins with epoxy coating prize."

2017's going to be a Stockholm 17 year, with a Gemini Split Brick with Noctis coming and RAVN purple on the radar!

Lorenzo/Stockholm 17: Thank you in advance. You rock.

Next up is #14, vasta41.

Thank you all! I will select the creator of this thread, montecarlojoe's tier.

You're up, Sherman!

I've updated the front page with your selections to make things a bit easier - don't forget to PM your prize sponsor!

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!

Good stuff. Thanks again to everyone involved in running this year's contest, and all the generous donators.

I'll select Natalia Silva's decks.

Octave, your turn.

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

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.

Flashcards, you're up!

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.

Sherman already took that Left are the Defunctorum coins and Lorenzo's coins.

Oops, my bad. The prize pool hadn't been updated when I looked at it. In any case, I'll be happy to have the following:

Lorenzo Gaggiotti
Tier 2:
6 copper coins with epoxy coating.

Sorry again for the mix up. Now it's StepChild's turn for realz.

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.

[leaps, perhaps overeagerly, upon the Defunctorum coin set]

I just received my brick today from Rapy - what a wonderful selection of decks! Thanks again!

I just received 6 fantastic decks and 6 fantastic coins from the fantastic Lorenzo @Stockholm17. Thank you.

I will show my appreciation, as always, pledging for the upcoming RAVNs.
I will have to show my appreciation to the contest next year by giving back and offering a prize for 2017!
