PLEASE READ THE RULES COMPLETELY BEFORE POSTING. THANK YOU.
This is kinda simple, really. I did this poll on another site. I know a member here who's done it before and will gladly do it again. Anyway, what I do is propose a topic for what the best type of card (white, blue, multicolored, artifact, etc.) is in a set. After three days/when there are 20 votes/if there is a clear-cut winner, I'll declare the winner and move on. Here we go... (and be sure to use card tags with your vote.)
Rulesfor voting on lands
-Land voting is done on a block basis instead of a single set.
-You can vote for a single land or a cycle of lands (i.e. the enemy-colored painlands in Invasion block, or the shocklands in Ravnica block).
DO NOT VOTE FOR A CARD BECAUSE OF ITS "coolness" OR VOTE AGAINST A CARD THAT'S WINNING BECAUSE YOU WANT TO BE DIFFERENT. ALSO, THIS IS NOT A "FAVORITE CARD" TOPIC. DO NOT VOTE FOR A CARD BECAUSE YOU LIKE IT MORE THAN ANOTHER.
Peace is a lie, there is only passion.
Through passion, I gain strength.
Through strength, I gain power.
Through power, I gain victory.
Through victory, my chains are broken.
The Force shall free me.

I would also go with Devouring Light , its the cheapest white removal spell in awhile that doesn't require lose of life first, Reciprocate . Convoke makes it shine.

first turn
Nick: I lay a swamp, tap, dark ritual...
Me: If you cast a hypnotic specter I'll punch you in the face
Nick:...ahh I take 3 points of mana burn
The reason I play black according to CrovaxtheCursed:
Vote's over, guys. I'm glad that this appears to be very popular. Devouring Light is the winner. Let's go for the best blue card in Ravnica. I'll edit this post with my pick soon.
I'm going to go with Remand as well. It is an excellent counterspell (as far as counterspells goes in today's Magic). Definitely underplayed and undervalued.
I ahve to go with Telling Time as it all ows for the best card quality control available in type 2 these days. It's also instant the best instant speed drawing in RAV. The only other card i would consider would be Remand... but its just not as good.
