(Almost) Undisputed Champion:Tasigur, the Golden Fang absolutely crushed it in this year's vote, with 10 votes for #1 and 2 votes for #2.
Dead Heat for Second Place: Not only was there a tie for 3rd place, but both cards were only 0.17 points behind Alesha for the #2 spot.
Multicolor Power Nine: The top 9 cards in this list all received votes from everyone who voted of at least 11th place. As a result, there's more than a 4-point gap between 9th place and 10th.
Color Balance: The Top 9 cards of this list are surprisingly well color balanced with WUBR each represented in 5 cards and G in 4. Anyone considering creating a rainbow section for their cube could do a lot worse than adding the top 9 cards of this list.
37 cards received votes in this category.
Thanks again to everyone for your participation in this year's Power Rankings!

Not yet! Only the Nephilim count this year because the C16 cards are so new, and they were (not) voted for (by anyone) here. Feel free to vote for the new 4-color legends next year, though.

That's because they've been visited more recently. And because Hierarch isn't voted on here, even though it would be voted on as Bant's best card, and a ton of cube managers classify it that way.
Also 8 out of the 20 cards are tri-brids, and that mechanic is a lot more flexible and therefore cube-friendly than than straight-up 3-color gold cards.
Still, in addition to the color balance of the Top 9 I mentioned in TURF, 9 out of the 10 3-color combinations are represented exactly once in the top 10 with only Abzan having 2 cards, and Bant not represented.

Yeah, card design has come a long way since the last time we visited Shards. We mostly only have true three color cards to choose from for the Shards, while we have the 'tribrid' cards for the Wedges that make those cards more playable.

Sounds like it's time to have multiple people all message maro on tumblr or twitter asking for them to design the shard versions
Well with Amonkhet hinting at a Nicol Bolas appearance, and Bolas being a shard entity, one can only hope that wotc will use shards (with a new spin on their identity), and some sweet tribrid cards are in store for us...
