Greetings fellow cube enthusiasts, the Power Rankings voting has officially begun!
Here's how the Power Ranking voting is going to work:
* This thread will be open until Thursday, October 13th 6:00 p.m. SEOUL time (6:00 a.m. that morning Eastern Standard Time), which is 4 days from the time of this post.
* The VOTING thread will be for posting your votes only. Small discussions about the voting, in particular pointing out errors in other voter's rankings and questions about the voting, are allowed within reasonable length, but otherwise you should use the main CPR thread for discussions.
* Results will be posted in their own thread after this one is closed and all the votes compiled.
* Voters are to rank the Top 20 cards for the WHITE group according to what they consider most effective at contributing to game wins in a traditional cube environment. Partial lists will not be accepted.
* Please rank your cards from #1 through #20, with #1 being the card you believe is most effective at contributing to game wins in a traditional cube environment. PLEASE NOTE that this is a change from previous years' "what you would pick as the very first card when drafting a cube (Pack 1, Pick 1)", although there should be substantial correlation between the two. If you're unclear on what that standard means, please refer to the discussion in the main Power Rankings thread and feel free to ask questions about it there.
* You can edit your vote freely, up until the moment the thread is closed.

HOW TO VOTE ON SIMILAR CARDS
The following cards are considered to be equal. If you include them in your vote, they must be ranked as a single entry.
Also according to the rules, the following cards are included in other voting groups and must not be voted here:
* Vivid Meadow and other lands able to produce 'mana of any color'. Their voting group is LANDS.
* Loam Lion, Lingering Souls, Momentary Blink, Soulfire Grand Master and any other white card with abilities that cost mana of other colors or that require you to control lands of other basic types. Their voting group is GUILD or 3+ COLOR.
* Kitchen Finks, Figure of Destiny, Dryad Militant and other hybrids cards with other color. Their voting group is also GUILD or SHARD/WEDGE.
* Mox Pearl, Gold Myr and other colorless artifacts that produce white mana but have no ability costing white mana or that requires you to control plains. Their voting group is COLORLESS.
* Cards with "Conspiracy" in their type line. For White, this specifically refers only to Adriana’s Valor. The community voted to exclude Conspiracies from the Power Rankings voting for this year in this thread. However, all other cards from the Conspiracy and Conspiracy: Take the Crown expansions (e.g. Recruiter of the Guard, Paliano Vanguard) are fair game.
* All cards from Unhinged or Unglued sets. The community voted to exclude them from the Power Rankings voting for this year in this thread.

HOW TO VOTE ON SIMILAR CARDS
The following cards are considered to be equal. If you include them in your vote, they must be ranked as a single entry.

And the following cards, despite having very similar effects, are not considered equal and must be ranked as separate entries:
* Day of Judgment x Wrath of God
* Oblivion Ring x Banishing Light x Grasp of Fate
* Elite Vanguard x Savannah Lions x Expedition Envoy
* Soltari Monk x Soltari Priest
