Our dear friend Zesty has opted to spoil some Conflux cards to us come Christmas night.
Which one? It's our choice!
What's different from last time? I'll tell you!
Two more choices, that might profoundly change last time's poll.
I apologise for remaking this, but after talking to Caranthir, I decided this would be better than trying to edit it!
Sigh. I think this'll have the opposite effect you hoped for and actually strengthen the Nicol Bolas, Planeswalker vote since the opposing votes will be more diluted...
How about we give whichever choice gets second most voted the same chance the U.S. gave Obama, and go for a final vote once it's decided which other card garners the most interest?

People hiss and grunt at Mark Rosewater for the state of the game. Few realize, though, that it is Aaron Forsythe who is directly responsible of the current state of affairs due to negligence as head of Magic R&D and a completely skewed view of the game as a whole.
So next time you want to make an avvy with Rosewater pissing on something, take a deep breath and consider pasting Forsythe's face there instead...

I don't know, really...

Depends on Zesty, I suppose.

[I was permabanned and all I got to show for it was .... well, nothing.]
Most people here want bolas to be spoiled and i cant understand why they are voting the opposite. Also why wizards has to spoil him officially? It is just a card come on, not a whole set for example!
Um, evidently most people who have already voted don't want Bolas. Or he'd be ahead in votes.

I voted for Bolas on impulse, but thinking about it I think that Bolas might not be the best. He's a shoe-in for preview week anyway, so I think I'd rather see something that isn't getting officially spoiled by Wizards.

Also bolas was a clear winner in the other thread, reopening the poll is ridiculous. If zesty didnt want to spoil him he shouldn't make the offer in the first place.
I assume that Wizards wouldn't be too happy about having their anticipated first card to be spoiled, to be spoiled a month in advance, and thus a crackdown on zesty and the zesty team could happen and I don't want that.
Voted "other than Nicol Bolas" even though I very much want to see it.
Take your monoblack deck, then set aside 14 swamps. Add 4 Creeping Tar Pits, 4 Darkslick Shores, 4 Drowned Catacombs, and 2 Jwar isle Refuge and add 4 Jace, the Mindsculptors. Your monoblack deck is instantly better. Better yet, drop those refuges, throw in some islands and some mana leaks, and lo and behold, you're now playing a real deck. Congratulations. Welcome to the world of competitive M:TG.
I don't know if anybody bothered to peruse at who voted for what, but Zesty voted for the S2P variant. i would likely follow suit, seeing as how he wants to spoil it so badly. think of it as our gift to someone who keeps on giving. Or, a chance to humor someone who is very eager.

Way to go, Zesty. You're totally awesome.

Yeah I deff saw that, Im with you on that 1... Its funny that the lil birdy voted "Leave me in the dark" lol im not following that
I do wanna see the Swords though... Bolas seems over hyped... but i do wanna see it all no DOUBT!!!!

The U.S. has one "winner take all" general election. This year, Barack Obama won it by winning the most "electoral votes", based on winning the popular vote in more and/or more populous states, but he also won the national popular vote, although that sadly means nothing in our system.
There is no runoff voting in the US like there is in France.
Are you thinking about the primary elections, when Hilary Clinton won the endorsement of more states at first but Barack Obama ended up winning more overall?

We really don't need bolas yet we're going to get it in january anyway.

I'm incredibly curious about the 'new swords'. We already have the new core staple in condemn, which is inherently strong, and we just had Unmake, which is basically a new Swords in almost every way, so for this new one to be hyped at all it has to be very good.
It is very counterintuitive for there to be a separate vote for "anything but Bolas" and other things because it splits the vote.
Actually it works better, this way you just add the "vote anything other" to the highest number other than Bolas to compare to Bolas. It solidifies votes against Bolas instead of spreading it around.

all of the anything but bolas votes should just be added to whatever is highest other than bolas in the end. otherwise everyone who voted for anything but him will be wasting their votes.

<edit> You fixed it. At least it wasn't something embarrassing, though.

He has 40%. That puts him ahead of the rest, in my book. o.o

Way to go, Zesty. You're totally awesome.

That. And it risks Zesty getting in trouble.
