The Cult votes for Mutavault, Its just a cavern with fatty appendages, and conquer+Necropotence have a classical feeling which I like, also clickslither looks like the creature from my head
[ARD] votes for Clickslither, for a.) being the only creature/non-enchantment, and b.) being the only one in the old school frame (as opposed to the olde skool frame like the rest).
The Izzet vote for Clickslither because it's the only card not to have been reprinted in a base set and wonder what the next clan to vote for Clickslither will say their reason is.
Clickslither 'cause it was never reprinted, 'cause it's the only creature, 'cause it's the only one with a colored expansion symbol, 'cause it's the only one that raped my mother and killed my father when I was a child, and 'cause it's the only one that's not old school.
You know...Animate dead has an expansion symbol in Master's edition, and it's colored. (Although it doesn't show up in gatherer) It not really funny. I just feel compelled to say it.
This round is all about the broad view of the game and each contestant's impact on the game.
Consider what each of these cards has brought to the game, the design space they take up.
Consider the flavour in contrast to the function, their relation to the colour pie.
Consider where these cards led to.
Consider how these cards interact with the card pool they were made for, the card pool that we have now, the possibilities for the future.
Consider how much fun each is to play, or to play against.
In the Grand Scheme of all things Magic:the Gathering, which of these cards is a weak link?
House Dimir votes Necropotence, I know how much of an effect it had on tournament play however, Necropotence plus most if not all similair cards have turned out to be overpowered. Necropotence was one of only a handful of good cards from the Ice Age block and that just added to its overpowered-ness at the time of its release. Plus I am sure that many older players have had at least one game where their opponent plops down the 'Potence and you realise that you are in a bad situation.

The cult of rakdos Votes for Necropotence, whilst it had a cool picture, i found that the general flavor for it was lacking in some, its a skeletal dude casting magic, Woop dee Doo
[Clan Mono-Black] votes Conquer. It opens up little design space, has no use constructed, it isn't fun to play against (who likes their lands taken anyway?),and isn't even in colour.

Thanks to Zaph and spiderboy4 at High~Light Studios for the kick ass sig and amazing avvy.
24 hours is really too short of time. I'd like to have at minimum three days each round. Sometimes people don't check in every day.
Sometimes those people are clan reps. It's especially sudden since not only do we only have a day, we didn't even know about it ahead of time.
What are you on about? Last round I ended early because there was no reason not to - Clickslither had its ass handed to it. The round was open for 5 days. I don't understand where you are coming from.
The Izzet vote conquer because I'm eating an english muffin sandwitch. Made entirely out of conquer's mediocre impact on the game.
Surprisingly delicious.
EDIT@rianalnn: last round was okay, but ending that round faster than expected and then announcing another round that ends extra-surprisingly fast is not okay. You asked if everyone was cool with the speed of the schedule earlier. This is notification that the schedule is < cool. A little faster is good, but 24 hours is too fast.

Did the deadline get moved up or does it just happen at the wierd hours of the morning?
Left to my own devices, I've been shaving off a day, + saying "48 hours to go" 48 hours before I'm going to close out. etc.
The Izzet vote for Clickslither because it's the only card not to have been reprinted in a base set and wonder what the next clan to vote for Clickslither will say their reason is.
48 hours left to this round!
I think we're safely in landslide defeat territory now, I'm cutting 24 hours, ok?
Round 6 Begins Here!
Down to 3;
