Well, apologies for not getting to this sooner, it's been a busy weekend. Looking at the poll response, we don't have enough votes to make any zort of a significant change. The votes are simply too few and too over the place. I guess there isn't enough interest anymore to make this method work like it used to.
Aside - I'm interested as to why Karn/Ugin got votes here; someone harboring a grudge, or based on CMC? They're tedious to play against, but I think it's pretty hard to debate their value in the format; if you own them you should run them, IMO.
Splash damage from the planeswalkers as commanders thread?
Well I ended up voting Mirror Entity (don't think I've ever seen this played outside of Sliver Queen combo), Fleshbag Marauder (pure upgrade to Plaguecrafter) and Xiahou Dun (don't ever see this played), Natural Order (never makes the cut every time I try to use it), and Thran Dynamo (I've always found this to be a mid-tier mana rock). Don't know yet how I'll vote next week.
As an aside, I just realized that Eldritch Evolution isn't on the list. That seems like an oversight to me. Oh well, there's always next time.
Polls are up. With the exception of the black creatures, each category had only one card receive enough support, so the card that receives the most votes to be removed will go on to next week (black had four cards so it will be the top four). Next week we will vote between the cards voted on this week against the cards nominated last week. Underrealm Lich has already been changed on the list because it was the only one that received enough support and replaced Leovold.
You could max nominations at 3 but allow as many supports as you need to get to 6 total votes, i.e. allow nominations to function as additional supports but not vice-versa. The current system gives an incentive to nominate things when you otherwise wouldn't. There are several cards on the current list that I would have supported instead of nominating Krav, given the option.
That's a good point, I'll look into that change for next time we do this when the next set is released.
Did you give any thought to making it a straight pool of 6 nominations/supports? It's a little awkward to sit on additional nominations when you've supported 3 things and the other things you would nominate are already out there.
My only concern with that is people would nominate a bunch of stuff and not have any votes to support. Limiting your numbers makes each vote more important for you to decide how to use them.
For my second nomination I'm going to say Knight of Autumn. Leovold needs to get replaced, and I also think that Harmonic Sliver does not pull its weight.

Ravenous Chupacabra didn't need additional support, so you can support something else if you'd like.
====================
Going to keep this nomination period active until the end of the week, then move on to voting next week.
