I think it's difficult to decide on a "Hall of Fame" caliber card in the recent sets. It's like comparing Adrian Peterson to Walter Payton. Sure he's had a heck of a year, but will he be good over the long haul?

How could any casual player not drool over the concept of assembling their contraptions with twice the speed?! AND it pumps and hastes other Riggers?!?!? Pure insanity. I think that every other casual player across the world is with me on this one..... except Mooseman...

I know the question was posted for rokapoke (and while I was nominating...), but I'll agree with rokapoke. Sure, casual players have built new casual decks after seeing a spoiler card or two, but it takes a bit of time to familiarize the world with the entire set.
I'll say a year from release is about right.

Actually, the traffic here has been very light and that is causing people not to post to as many threads or as often as in the past.
Let's do this one and then go with Ransac's Idea of a theme or type to nominate.
We might take more time for the nominations and pre-vote discussion.
Sprout Swarm is a slow but steady Saporling generator, but can be sped up.....

I haven't seen much of this set and I don't like it as much as the previous two. But there are some cool cards. Aven Mindcensor has a very cool name and shuts down tutors and such. Barren Glory makes my Kaervek's Spit/The Cheese Stands Alone combo return without use of Unglued cards (but doesn't have much other use, unfortunately). Tombstalker is a very cheap 5/5 if you can load your graveyard quickly enough. However, because of my loyalty to the storm mechanic, I'm going to have to nominate its little brother: Bitter Ordeal.
Its effect is not as impressive as most of the real storm cards, and the mechanic probably isn't as fluid in a deck. But it's much easier to make tons of copies. In a milling deck it could be a crippling (and uncounterable) blow. It adds a new element to cards that destroy a lot of permanents or allow you to sacrifice them. Even early on in a game, it could remove the key cards from an opponent's library. And with an engine that puts permanents into a graveyard repeatedly (like Sliver Queen and Ashnod's Altar, if we want to be really extreme), it can kill an opponent outright by decking.
