* This thread will be open longer than the other threads, until November 28th, 6:00 p.m. Seoul time (5:00 a.m. Eastern Standard Time).
* Voters are to rank the Top 30 cube cards, according how effectively you believe they contribute to game wins in a traditional cube environment. Partial lists will not be accepted. * Please rank your cards from #1 through #30, with #1 being the card you consider the most powerful.
* The VOTING thread is 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 process, are allowed within reasonable length, but otherwise you should use the main Cube Power Rankings thread for discussions.
* Results will be posted in their own thread after this one is closed and all the votes are compiled.
* You can edit your vote freely, up until the moment the thread is closed.

NOTES
Nearly every single Magic: the Gathering card can be voted for here, with very few exceptions. As decided by a vote of this community, this vote does not include silver-bordered cards, Conspiracies or holiday promotional cards. It also doesn't include nontraditional cards like Planes, Archenemy schemes, Theros Hero cards, or any kind of "card" without an entry on Oracle/Gatherer. These will be voted on after the Overall Power Rankings vote is complete in a separate category.
This vote also doesn't include any cards released after Kaladesh, so please do not vote for any Commander 2016 cards here.
See the previous Voting threads for this year for the rules about similar cards; they still apply here. This means most land cycles such as ONS/ZEN Fetch Lands take a single entry, and the same is true for other perfectly identical cycles like ABU Mox; and many pairs of identical cards like Armageddon/Ravages of War or Evolving Wilds/Terramorphic Expanse work the same way.

Draft my cube: Eric's 390 Unpowered
I'm guessing that Thanksgiving may have made it hard for some people to vote on time, so I'm going to extend the deadline by two more days - until November 30th, 6:00 p.m. Seoul time (5:00 a.m. Eastern Standard Time).
