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! :ugdance:

For my prize, I would like to select the Noir Arts half brick! :drool: 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 :ugthink:

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.

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.

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.

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!
