Your Winner
Are we really surprised? He probably secretly organized the tournament in the first place.
Nicol Bolas, Planeswalker is your winner, as he HANDILY defeats Dark Confidant for the title. 127 other strong Magic cards now lie defeated before the might of Lord Bolas; the GREATEST MAGIC CARD EVER, at least for this year's tournament.
Next Year
Next year, the selection process will be revamped. There will be automatic bids, and there will be at-large bids. At-large bids are chosen by you. Post in the comments cards that you would like to see in next year's tournament, and a number of them will be randomly selected to be there.
See you next year.
Not surprised. I took my deck, Anything else would be Bolas-phemy!, to my gamegroup.. Sighs were made, eyes were rolled and cards were scooped.

I think the guy staring bolas down is Lord of the Unreal , if not then I have no clue.

Doesn't matter who it is...he's dead now lol I think maybe Niv and / or Jace are man enough to stare down nicol like that... and an eldrazi I suppose but they would still get shanked because the eldrazi probably work for bolas but they don't know it!

The dude staring him down his actually Sarkhan Vol , the planeswalker of the jund shard, the dragon fanatic, who see's bolas as his one true master, even over Karrthus, Tyrant of Jund .

Next year, Grand Arbiter Augustin IV should be included in the EDH general ranks.
Snapcaster Mage should be included for creatures.
There should be a seperate category for equipment.

Um....
Progenitus has protection from everything....
Is Nicol Bolas a thing? Then it can't touch Progenitus . That is all.

It has protection from the law. What do ya say about that? Huh?
Yeah. I can't even say its name. It has pro-fireteam too. :(
April 3, 2013 3:55 p.m.
I still maintain that Nicol Bolas, Planeswalker is not the greatest magic card of all time. I mean, come on, look at that mana cost. Not only that but...
-3
All hail Lord Bolas. All Hail Lord Bolas. All Hail...

i i totally disagree. bolas is a comboless, boring card that you just drop at 8 to win. dont get it
April 3, 2013 6:12 p.m.
This wasn't a contest to determine the best Magic card. This was a popularity contest beneath the surface.

@zandl Exactly! Which is why i think that next year it should be what is the BEST card. In Bob vs Bolas, BOB WINS.
April 3, 2013 6:43 p.m.
Hymn to Tourach , Natural Order , and good ol classic Fireball . Not sure if we had Akroma, Angel of Wrath .
April 3, 2013 7:51 p.m.
Dude, if next year is what is the BEST card, there'll be a bunch of people in here whining about Black Lotus vs some other P9 member.
April 3, 2013 8 p.m.
Snapcaster, Thoughtseize , Bitterblossom , Grove of the Burnwillows , Mana Drain , and Vendilion Clique for next year.
April 3, 2013 8:35 p.m.

I think next year if it is best card we are probably going to see Jace, the Mind Sculptor , Black Lotus , Tarmogoyf , Necropotence , Umezawa's Jitte , Zur the Enchanter , Demonic Tutor , Ancestral Recall , the lands are uncertain im thinking a toss up between the original duals Mishra's Workshop Karakas Tolarian Academy or Library of Alexandria . the jitte is if equipment get its own catragory. I also think that there are plently of mana rocks to include a bracket between those and artifacts.

My suggestions:
Doubling Season , Animar, Soul of Elements , Gisela, Blade of Goldnight , Rafiq of the Many , the invasion dragons (Treva, the Renewer , Rith, the Awakener , etc.), the planar chaos dragons (Oros, the Avenger , Intet, the Dreamer , etc.), the ravnica guild leaders (new/old/both), Sigil of Sleep , Repercussion , Fog , and Inviolability .
Actually, looking at my list, I think it would be really cool if we had a cycles bracket. Since you had a couple cycles in this tournament, I'd love to see that idea expanded. If you wanted to keep the number of categories even, you could have separate horizontal and vertical cycles.
Oh yeah, I almost forgot: Mother of Goons because word to yo motha!

I say Broodstar deserves to be in there next year Affinity was such a fun and cheap ass mechanic and he just swatted the competition. Archbound Ravager, Thoughtcast more often then not let you draw 2 for a single U. All 5 Mirran Swords deserve mentioning as well.

the law doesn't target
the law is a global effect
THE LAW HAS ENTERED THE GAME
April 4, 2013 8:41 p.m.
I think one of next year's brackets should be "Most Underrated Card." (I make this decision entirely because Mindcrank needs more love.)
Maybe a lands bracket: Vesuva , City of Brass , Urborg, Tomb of Yawgmoth , and (of course) Island .
