4/1 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 above.

You should really post links to the cards we're voting on in each week's thread, or at least a link to last week's poll where the links would be listed beside the nominees. it would streamline the cvoting process significantly.

Are you saying you want to vote on the cards based on why they were created? I can post links to the threads, but unless there's a good reason to, the effort doesn't seem worthwhile. (So, give me a good reason and I'll do so.) I should start adding the link to last week's thread, though. *edits OP*

Oh never mind I didn't see the little spoiler box where they were listed and thought "Gee it sure would be nice if I didn't have to type the names of all these cards into the search function. A link would have been convenient".
Consider my suggestion retracted.

I haven't voted yet so I can't see the results, but it seems to me that having more than one card nominated is more likely to split your vote and prevents you from winning.

As it stands now Detektor is in 1st and tied for 3rd! Somebody has to stop him! By voting for one ofmy favourites!
Lagomophic Field doesn't have votes? really? I thought nominating Creeping Barrage might have been a stretch but how does Lagomorphic Field have no votes?

I will be voting for the Field.
It's just that good.
And it's personal, but I don't like Barrage at all.
