Since I just reopened the worst cards by set thread, I thought it'd be fitting to reopen the best cards by set thread as well, last ran by HeavyMetalKing here.
Strength in constructed should take precedence over strength in limited.
Remember, judge cards purely by their strength in gameplay, not how "cool" they are or anything like that.
For lands, you can vote for a cycle of lands, where "cycle" is defined as a set of lands that have the same exact function except for the colors of mana produced (Painlands), types of land retrieved (fetchlands), or colors of cards affected (such as the "bands with other" lands from Legends, ie. Mountain Stronghold). For these types of lands, please don't vote for them individually. Either vote for them as a cycle or vote for a non-cycle land.
I will close the voting after 24 hours or so, depending on the number of votes. If it's a tiny amount, I'll leave the voting open a bit longer before moving to the next color. If there's a lot of votes quickly, I'll close the voting earlier.
If you wish to change your vote , edit your original post, thanks!

Watch your thoughts, for they become words.
Watch your words, for they become actions.
Watch your actions, for they become habits.
Watch your habits, for they become character.
Watch your character, for it becomes your destiny.
Cards with the post 8th Edition, color shifted and future shifted templates as well as the timeshifted and Coldsnap reprint ones tastes a little sweeter. Any gold cards with the old faces are a little saltier. European foreign (except Russian) cards with the mentioned templates above are not as sweet as their English counterparts and has a wierd after taste. All taste tests were done from fresh packs and all cards tasted are not foil cards. I have yet to taste Asian and Russian cards.
It didn't get skipped. When it was done, they ran it separately, once for the non-timeshifted cards, and once for the timeshifted cards. I decided, in order to keep it in line with the worst cards thread, to redo it with all the cards together.

It didn't get skipped. When it was done, they ran it separately, once for the non-timeshifted cards, and once for the timeshifted cards. I decided, in order to keep it in line with the worst cards thread, to redo it with all the cards together.

Oh, um, yeah, Serra Avenger, whatever...
I like 4/4s for 7.
Sower of Temptation? Maybe Cryptic Command can give it a run for it's money.
Keeping up with the theme, I definitely think Serra Avenger should get some love. And my vote.
On to blue....my vote goes to

Also some merit for Mystical Teachings.
HM to Teferi, Mage of Zhalfir & Think Twice
HM to Vesuvan Shapeshifter and Brine Elemental
Ancestral Vision is terrible IMHO
ugh, where the hell's my hammergun?
Trickbind was a sideboard champion.
Sorry, I haven't been keeping up much with competitive play or the more recent sets much lately, so forgive me for missing some things.
Vote changed to Teferi.
