MTG Salvation

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.)

Rules for 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.

Best black card in Alliances
Tally
Contagion: 11
Ritual of the Machine: 1

(Note: white= pure white, blue= pure blue, etc. Multicolored cards have their own vote.)

When I say "best white card," I mean purely white. Lightning Helix, Putrefy, et al. are multicolored and are only counted on the multicolor card vote.

I like Devouring Light also.

Oh, trust me, it gets better. We don't just pick one card, we pick ALL possible cards in each set.

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 give my vote to Telling Time. Remand's good, but Telling Time's just too good to pass up.
