With all the excitement over Nocturne previews, it's easy to forget our thrid most favorite passtime: Making brackets lists.
In order to justifiably call the next cards lists a 2017 one, voting for it should at least start in 2017. There's not terribly much time left.
Nocturne release is currently scheduled for mid-November, starting the cards list before that seems like a bad idea.
Since Avist indicated he likely won't have the energy to compile and post all the lists in the nice exhaustive format we've had so far, I thought it would be a nice idea to turn this into a community effort. So, after polling, we would have 1 person responsible for the writeup of each list. That way, we could have all the results online quicker and don't risk burnout.
My suggestion would be to use all of December for voting and present the results starting January.
Notcurne also opens some questions on new things to be ranked. Some suggestions:
- rankings for Boons and Hexes. This is pretty obvious I assume. What's the best Boon to get? What's the worst Hex to dish out? I think it would offer nice insights into what small vanilla-ish bonuses are "worth".
- starting cards ranking. With Heirlooms and Shelters, there are now 12 different cards you could have in your starting deck. Would be interesting to see what's the strongest and what's weak. We'll finally be able to answer whether an Overgrown Estate is cooler than a reuglar one.
- non-supply card rankings. So far, we only have a list for Prizes that isn't terribly interesting. Nocturne offers a whole bunch of new non-supply cards. I could imagine doing something along those lines.
So what does the community think? Is there interest in some collaboration?
