Just note if you pick 3-10 decks your first nomination will be the one that counts.
Also if the deck is yet to be released, the vote can only count if it is released in 2014.

Isn't Absinthe a not-yet-released Ellusionist deck?

Quote from: Marcus on November 04, 2014, 01:55:14 PM

Seconded. I'd also like to nominate the RUN Bankroll Edition deck.

In the case of both decks, if they're released before New Year's Day (and they get seconded), they're good.

Unless they get an earthquake-level force majeure happening somewhere between the USPCC plant and Murphy's warehouse it'll be out before the end of the month for sure. Depending on how you define "released", the Bankroll edition is already out albeit to a select few. :)

(And yes, the Absinthe is an Ellusionist deck and not released yet, though I believe they've said it'll be out before the holidays.)

I think "released" is defined by, it exists in real life, not digital form. If you have photographic evidence, such as this:

Although I did find this "Expected November 18th 2014"

Looks real to me... Don?
Title: Re: Best Back Design of 2014
Post by: Don Boyer on November 07, 2014, 10:16:07 AM: Run can be nominated with a notation (if available by 1/1/15) on the list in the first topic. If it ships, great - we just remove the tag. If it doesn't, for whatever reason or force majeure, there's always next year and we take it off this year's list. This means that Absinthe can also be nominated with a notation as above.

This can be used only for decks that are indeed scheduled to arrive before the end of the year. If a deck's schedule calls for a release in January or later, it can be nominated only if by some luck and circumstance it gets an early release and comes out this year.

Zinfandel by Erik Mana

We have it down, but I put the proper title on it: Mana Playing Cards v. 2. The same back/same design appeared on both colors, Zinfandel and Indigo, with the colors being the only difference.

Identifying the deck as "Zinfandel" in this case would be like identifying a Bicycle (pick any back) deck as "Red".

I'll second Absinthe if it releases before 2015, and if Justin meant the E deck. I have no idea which Absinthe deck is T11 releasing. :P
The back image really feels like it's carved out.

To my knowledge - which is admittedly not perfect - there is no T11 deck coming out called "Absinthe" and there is an Ellusionist deck coming out with that same name. It can be noted on the list as "if available". Odds are it will be out before New Year's Day, but until it is, it isn't a 2014 release simply due to the fact that it's not released yet, period.

OK. Absinthe by Ellusionist. I meant as a joke but things are getting out of hand. :P

We should really get things right before all of us start spelling "Induldge" as well.
