Card of the Week
1/8/13 - 1/14/13 Welcome to Card of the Week! This is an on-running contest of sorts where great cards are given the celebration they deserve, the praise for what perhaps went unnoticed. Nomination Rules:
- Anyone may nominate a card from any thread in YMTC as long as it was posted between 12:00 AM of the starting date and 11:59 PM of the ending date of that week's thread, Pacific Standard Time (that's what I live by, and I'm not fancy enough to use UT1).
- All nominations require the following:
1. The full card posted into this thread.
2. A link to the post/thread where the card originated.
3. The name of the card's creator.
- You may nominate up to two cards a week.
- You can't nominate your own designs.
- All designs nominated will be put into a poll in the next week's thread. The design with the most votes is declared Card of the Week!
Voting Rules:
- You may vote for any number of entries. Remember, every vote you cast matters, so try to vote only for the cards you really think deserve to win.
- You may vote for yourself.
- All cards carrying the most votes when the poll closes are elected as the winner for that week.
- All winners and winning cards will be collected in the sblock below.

0/6
Just running through some of my stuff from this year's Idol competition. I think the flavour text could benefit from being a little more subtle, and I'm sure there's an elegant way to combine both halves of the ability into a single sentence. I like the concept quite a bit, though.
Yes, I know it's originally from Idol, no, I don't care.
