Wowza, the poll is up and we ended up with enough contestants that we had to CHOP it down to a Top Ten. Thanks again to everyone who entered! Remember to go vote!

Great turnout. Is there a limit to how many options are on the poll or is that just you guys preference?

There's a limit (that got expanded for this contest, if I remember correctly, but it's still not enough for 16). With the popularity of this contest I think it would be worth considering multiple polls when it goes over the limit -- like for this one do two polls of 8 entries and take the top 2 or 3 from each for a final poll.

I was extremely disappointed to find my entry arbitrarily excluded from the poll. I really thought I had a contender this time!

For what it is worth. This being a contest for fun, and not having any type of prize associated with it should be just that. Having your submission thrown to the side "just cause" makes it pretty easy for me to pass on the next one. People submit these because they like to hear feedback on their designs and to see people discuss what they like/dislike about them. If it gets chopped before the poll, that will not as likely happen. Also, Ill add, that in this type of set up it would be quite a bit more fun if you could pick your favorite 3. These are just my opinions, take them for the pennies they are worth.

As this poll just came out, it's not too late to delete it, and put up new, multiple polls, is it?

My design made the cut, but I second Bigga and TREX, especially the bolded parts. I would support restarting the poll with these suggestions. Divide the honorable mentions between the two sets.

Presenting a contest for fun, then throwing away almost half of the entrees as not being good enough to even make the discussion is not a very great way to get community support or participation for your project. I would in fact, if you are possible, listen to these guys on their suggestions for a better poll, to show appreciation for the time and effort that the people that contributed should have received. You are welcome to leave my submission off the list, as I am no longer interested.

I didn't enter so I have no skin in the game here. I just looked at all 16 cards and I don't understand why some were left off and others were included. There are a few in the chopped list I would consider voting for if I could, and a few in the included list that I would never vote for. But then I voted for one of the 10, one I thought was really fantastic, and it turns out I was the first and only vote for the card. At the same time one card I had rejected rather quickly for obvious flaws somehow had multiple votes already.

FWIW I also have no two-powered horse in this race either as I didn't submit. However, after looking over the entries the one I would most want to vote for ended up in the chopped list (though it's close overall, there are a bunch of good entries this time around).

[Taeblewalker]

Mine was cut too.
