Really nice work everyone! Kai, amazing work on the polls! Sponsors, you really knocked it out of the park with all those donations!

Agree. Forgot to thank the donators. I've got my eye on one or two tiers. Hopefully they'll be there when my turn comes up.

UPDATE:

I went back to check on the accuracy of the categories and i realised i overlooked 2 fields, so the following updates have been made.

1) Best Fanning Deck, Tenebre has tied for 3rd place with Dominion V2, so anyone that voted for that gets 1 extra point.

2) Best Coin, White Ornate ties with LUXX for 2nd place, so anyone that voted for White ornate gets 2 extra points.

Apologies for the slip up, not too major I hope =) I will update the respective scores, kindly check again =)

Gratz to the winners and thank you to everyone who gave Aquila a nod, it's very much appreciated

Grats to all the winners! I know I had such a hard time picking - there were so many awesome decks deserving of awards. And thank you to volt and mike for running this and all the very generous sponsors who donated prizes!

EDIT: I think my points might be wrong? I keep getting 34, not 29?

As one of the many who added to the prize pool I wish to say a heartfelt Your Welcome. I can't speak for the others, although I'm sure most if not all feel as I do. That it is a privilege and an honor to give back to such an incredible group of people that all of you are. So it is I who should thank all of you. So... Thanks everyone for the most fun I've had in a long time.


John

Cool...

Very well organised, fun and surprisingly engaging!

... oh lotsa head scratching as well this year.

Thanks UC and Kai for putting everything together!

Tier 27 !!! Jody has generously contributed 2 black inks with signed sleeve and collectors box !!

Quite interesting results. Origins are Origins

Last chance for anyone who feels like throwing a deck or two into the prize pool before we start giving them out !

Lee has generously contributed an Empire Emperor's Collection !

Yes agreed John, it is great to be able to give back. You guys do throw out a great buzz and very welcome feedback. Great comp, nice work Kai. A major compliment just to make the list. Answering the question, after a couple of months where life got busy, I am settling back into the studio yes. Hard not to be inspired by the great work coming out

The way I voted, I thought I would've had "-5" points! Well voting will be so much easier for me next year.

Ok so here are the final rankings for the 2014 UC Deck of the Year awards, Hope you guys all had fun, and may the odds ever be in your favour ! Hope you get something you like =)

Instructions: Winners please post your desired item in this thread, moderators kindly help to update this post as well as updating the prize tier in the first post once a tier is taken with (GONE!)
Also kindly pm the next winner in line that it is his/her turn =)

So, I just missed a prize???

Awww, it's all good. Enjoy, everyone!
Thanks again for your hard work Kai!

Hopefully the winners will all report in promptly so this doesn't take 3 weeks. I sure hope @Yashi isn't on vacation for 2 months on a deserted island.

Please let my top choices still be there when it gets down to little ole me.

Sorry for the delay folks. I don't want to put much thought into this so I'll go with Tier 2 (Mailchimp)

That's OK, this will take a little time. I was just making a joke and pointing out the multiple delays. Now we all hope for the same for the next person, and so on...

Now about your selection. Grrrr. Good choice, especially considering what the new one should look like.

Haha indeed, thats the most difficult part about this way of giving out prizes. Yashi, did you pm mark ?

So excited to win something!!!
I'll go with:

Tier 5
1x Federal 52 "Anything Is Possible" Bottle

Cool, I need complete name & shipping from Yashi (will PM). Ivan next, Sher then skip me. I'll email Ivan just in case.

I'm going to put one red MailChimp I have other than my own pair on eBay for auction. Darn...

I'll go for:

Tier 28 - Emperors Collection

Thx again UC!

I'll get Tier 17, the Uusi set. <--- this cannot convey how excited I am. This was my first pick and I was hoping it would still be available. (I would fill my whole post with these emoticons if I could... But that would be annoying. And I think those ten emoticons might already be mildly annoying to some. Lol).

I'm will go for Tier 8 -> "Not for Sale" unnumbered Venexiana Dark signature deck. Thank you all for arranging such a great contest and prizes!!

Not at all. Emoticon away! If your happy and you know it.... Well you get the idea. Congrats! personally I am not getting my hopes up as I am 24th and there will be 5 to choose from. I have to admit I was hoping the Fed 52 "Anything is possible" bottle would be there. (Congrats Mark!)

NOOOOOOOOOOO!!!! The Uusi tier was my top choice, too. Well, given that I have the 21st pick, it was highly unlikely I was going to have any chance at that anyways. If I couldn't get it, I'm glad that you got it, Sher. Congrats!

Being number 10, my anticipation is killing me. 2 tiers I'm interested in. Hopefully they'll still be available.

Thanks Necro and sinjin! Good luck, Brent!

My original choices were the hotcake hot edge decks or the uusi set. I literally would have taken forever choosing between the two. Went with the MailChimps instead since they seem to be much harder to find and the black MailChimp wouldn't be complete without the red.

Winning this contest probably used up all my luck for the year 2015 because I usually (almost) never win. Congratulations once again to everyone and huge thanks to the UC community. Hopefully I can repay the favor one day.

Firthetic took the dan Kris's set ! Slavich it's your turn !
