Among the participating cardsmiths, had the highest combined card score at 33, closely followed by both and at 32 - RayearthIX, I'm awarding you a special honarable mention for overall quality. This included some of our winners, and wasn't a deal breaker, but did break some ties. Overall though, the most common issues I saw with cards were in the text box: formatting problems affected 26% of cards, and 24% of cards included awkward, confusing, or non-standard wording. The lowest score I gave was a two, which went to a handfull of cards with multiple serious issues in terms of balance, presentation, and relationship to the artwork. In hindsight, I may have set my standard too high for nines and tens, because these are great cards that anyone would love to open in a pack. Among all the cards I scored, the average score was almost exactly five points, so all-in-all folks are producing some pretty solid work! The highest score I gave to any card was an eight, and you can see most (but not quite all, the competition was fierce) on the lists above. Five points were awarded to good solid cards of the type we see from Wizards all the time. Cards with serious flaws got scores below five, and cards that stood out as great scored six and above.
That's a lot of cards to compare, so to help narrow things down, I read through each card, noted the positive and negative things that stood out, and assigned each card a score of up to ten points to put them in rough order. There were a total of 177 cards judged for this contest, by 44 cardsmiths. There were far more than ten cards worthy of praise presented here, so I thought it might be fun to call out some fun facts, numbers, and observations I made during the judging process. If you weren't one of our winners and still want to get yourself a pack of card box organizers (or if you won and decide you want to get some more), you can get them with two day prime shipping on Amazon. As with the winners, they're mechanically sound, interesting, and work well with the art, so most of these decisions came down to little details like how well a name fit or the formatting of the text box. This was a great competition, and while these five cards may not have taken the top spots, they most certainly deserve attention. But now, without further adue, your winners! Prize Winners and your work distinguished itself by its sound mechanical design, relationship to the artwork, and clean presentation, and you are to be commended! Please pass your shipping information on to (not directly to me) so that I can put your prizes in the mail! Honrable Mentions I'd like to congratulate each of you on your work, and thank you for your contributions. Judging is complete! It's been a real treat to see all the creative cards you've developed for this contest, and deciding on the winners was no easy thing.
