Mind Stone in, Sketch B in, Choice A in.
Votes are: Worship Vrs. Platnium Angel, Incenerate art
(Sketch A is first, Sketch B is second.) Hurricane Flavor text "Don't envy the grandure of drakes. Their impression of grace fades when the first gust sends them crashing into one another." - Molimo, maro-sorcerer - Choice A "As wind whips jagged shards Of victims torn asunder,
the winged join in weather's wicked twist."

and the Logo: 10 or X, if 75% of the people vote for 10 over X, then 10 wins, otherwise X wins.
Last Week guys. I am going with the angel for the card vote, for both power and variety, and sketch b for the art, because i would like to see it more completed, and Flavor Text B, because it seems to convey what Hurricane does far better than Flavor Text A.
I would love to see how powerful Platinum Angel could be without all the Mirrodin Block artifact hate running around.
I'm disappointed by the "be the brand manager" vote, they built it up like it would be something huge...
Card vs Card: Platinum Angel
Sketch: Incinerate: Sketch A
Flavor Text #3: Matt Cavotta
Expansion Symbol: X
My reason for choosing the Angel over Worship is pretty selfish really--I cannot STAND losing to Worship in a draft! It's happened to me twice recently, so the wound is fresh. The Angel, on the other hand, gets aced by so many Core set staples, it's not even funny. So, contrary to my normal habits, I'm choosing the weaker card over the stronger one.
Sketch A for Incinerate is cool because the guy is being blown apart by jets of fire from the inside. Yeah, way cooler than some flame ball (?!).
And I think the Roman numeral "X" makes a bolder statement than 10.
Clearly the angel is going to win this one, the card is tournament worthy, is great in casual and Timmy loves it.
I was disapointed by the falvor texts, they're both lame.
I love the sketches this week, they both have great qualities-Rolling Ball of flames! AARRGHH!-, but I predict sketch A is going to win this one because it is closer to a complete piece than sketch B.
''I am a Godzilla PVC bank. People shove coins through a hole in my skull and pull them out of my butt to buy Pokemon cards. Speak not to me of Pain!''
I'm definitely picking the x, sketch A on the incinerate and Worship because I hate Platinum angels many many weaknesses. Plus with Arcum Daggson how can you go wrong? :-P

IN: Sketch that looks more final.
OUT: Better idea.
And the brand vote is stupid. There was so much hype like "OMG LEGENDZ AND GOLD CARDZ" and then it ends up the base set symbol. I'm glad I didn't get caught up in the hype, but I was expecting something a little cooler :\
This rocks. Platinum Angel is one of the cards I recently thought "Man, that'd be awesome in a core set, probably won't happen though". Angel is way way better, because it's the condition in and of itself. Doesn't need other cards like Worship does. And, no one's used Worship in the entire time it's been in the Core Set, so...
Went sketch B for Incinerate, and the brand vote is lame(X all the way). Flavor Text A and Molimo ftw!

Angel, simply because you can't lose and your opponents can't win is cooler than this 1 life with a creature dumbness.
The bat sketch vote just hurt. I love Chippy to pieces and his background was better but the bats by Kovacs rocked so much more. People will probably vote for the more 'finished' piece again, but come on! Rolling ball of flame! AARGH!
Flavor text is still pretty meh, I liked the winner better from the last one, though. As for this one, it could go either way and I'd be happy.
Brand manager, big whoop. X because it's still one character.

Can somebody translate that please?
Quote from darkhammy »
Hang on, I need my gibber-to-english dictionary. Ah yes, here it is,
Platinum Angel: With less artifact kill, the card may see play other than with Tooth and Nail, though there's more creature kill around this time (well, until Ravnica rotates out)... and while IMO Worship is a lot more solid (black almost scoops to this card, and red virtually scoops), Platinum Angel can stop losing from more than just life loss, and is also a win condition, as opposed to just a "Not losing" condition...
Sketch A: while it is true that it is more complete, the fact that the guy is getting torn to shreds from the inside is too cool to pass up
Flavour Text B: while i'm not a fan of voting in flavour text just thrown to us, the second one just screams "bad ass wind", while the first one is just like "Yeah, they're hitting each other because it's windy..."
Expansion Symbol X: not much to say bout this one... i think that X would look just that much cooler... and if it doesn't, then 11th edition can revert back to numbers...

Platinum Angel just doesn't seem so hot without the cat, and the best 9 mana sorcery I can think of. I once played a game in which my opponent Memnarched my Abunas to try and steal it so he could follow up by stealing my angel. Funniest moment at FNM I ever experienced.
Vote: Worship Ya know worship has been in a lot of sets, I'm changing my mind to Angel.
The Sketch vote is a tough one. Is B casting Incinerate? Every other Incinerate pic is just another red shirt getting fried. Both artists do awe inspiring fire effects and I expect Gabor & Sziskai to win, but I'm voting for Dorman's sketch.
Flavor Vote: Beyer
Brand Vote: Oh, so lame. X is the obvious choice. The numbers have never looked good to me.
Attack one beating chicken of 4 cards, then erase 3 minus from your battleax. Never in your main phase will you do a 4 cards risen, but McDonald of 2 to the punish-bin. Again, beat softly to the end.
IN: Sketch that looks more final.
OUT: Better idea.
And the brand vote is stupid. There was so much hype like "OMG LEGENDZ AND GOLD CARDZ" and then it ends up the base set symbol. I'm glad I didn't get caught up in the hype, but I was expecting something a little cooler :\
qft. Sure the first art is different, and shows a guy having fire exploding outwards from the inside, but Nothing says inceneration like a giant fireball hurtling towards your face. And some figured it may be this, i didn't expect too much of it, so i am not as let down.
Yeah, Platnium Angel is defentally more powerful than Worship, simply because it is highly splashable. sure it costs 7 and can die easier, but it on the field means that nothing short of it's distruction will cause you to lose the game, while with worship, life loss (i'm looking at you orzhov) will lose you the game. either way, both are good ways to lock down the board.
Thats the 7th Edition version but who knows if thats the gonna be the 10th art
Oh totally forgot about that artwork thanks. I was hoping that with the 10th week voting they would have shed some light on Time Spiral

I think I'm going to go with the Angel on this one. As much as I like worship, it hardly ever get's room in todays standard decks. The angel, well, it was only truly playable with Tooth and nail, but I would rather have it in the core set. It is the card that has more combo potential for future sets.
I agree with everyone, the more finished "sketch" (and Zoltan and Gabor's drawing is not a sketch), will probably win the popular vote. But I favor Dormans work in the second sketch.
Dormans has so many great touches in it. The two skeletons being consumed by flames will look fantastic finished, and the fact that the main figure is facing away, gives the art a level of depth that the other one doesn't have.
I think platnium angel should be in...
but the whole voting thing was lame the only choice that was worthwhile was ape vs mogg fan, al the rest where lame I understand that the base set is more for casual players but serious player deserve to choose over cards that matter

Voted Angel; It's easier for me to kill.
Incinerate: Sketch A will win. Therefore, I vote B.
Second flavor text for Hurricane seems cool.
Reason: Not really sure why... It just seemed like a cooler card for the most part.
Sketch: Incinerate: Sketch A
Reason: It just looks awesome.
Flavor Text #3: Matt Cavotta
Reason: I've always liked the quotes from fictional documents/books/literature.
Expansion Symbol: X
Reason: Either way was fine by me, but I decided to vote on behalf of my brother who isn't doing any voting.
All in all, I'm not too excited about this final vote. Nothing really stands out to me, except for the Incinerate artwork.
