What the hell is that card in between "The" and "Source"?
You get to vote for 4-5 (potentially) new cards in the banner. No duals, no fetches, no basic lands that aren't Island.
Force of Will, Wasteland, Brainstorm, Tarmogoyf, Swords to Plowshares, and Aether Vial are staying.
How this is going to work:
- List 4 or 5 cards you think are representative of legacy and representative of as many top decks as possible.
- Something like Ponder does the same thing as Brainstorm and is in the same decks, so it's probably not something to vote for. Same thing for Path to Exile.
- Use this format: "1) Island 2) Knight of the Reliquary 3) Thoughtsieze 4) Sensei's Divining Top 5) Spell Pierce"
- Your #1 vote gets 5 points, your #2 gets 4, and so on.
- Feel free to discuss in the same post you vote.
For reference, here's the top 50ish eligible cards from the nine post-Survival SCG Open T16s - yes, you can vote for cards that aren't here:

Honesty, I think we should just replace SotF with Green Sun's Zenith. The banner itself is cool as it is.
1) Lion's Eye Diamond 2) Knight of the Reliquary 3) Life from the Loam 4) Sensei's Divining Top 5) Dark Confidant
Looks like a limited edition Dark Ritual.
Not as cool as this:
1) GOBLIN WELDER
2) Metalworker
3) Time Spiral
4) Stifle (Scourge)
5) Argothian Enchantress
1) Counterbalance
2) Lion's Eye Diamond
3) Stifle
4) Tendrils of Agony
5) Natural Order
"Attack with Order of the Ebon Hand."
"K, block with Jotun Grunt?"
"It has pro white."
"Swords?"
"It still has pro white."

My votes;
1 - Sensei's Divining Top: Recognized as one of the quintessential cards of the format. The reason that counterbalance is on the banner in the first place, and still played heavily in Junk while countertop decks are a bit weak at the moment.
2 - Dark Confidant: It took a while, but confidant is finally starting to see the level of play that's made it a staple across all formats. When you play black, chances are you're picking the color so you can run this sweet two drop.
3 - Knight of the Reliquary: Pretty much the single reason Junk is a tier 1 deck. Also turbocharges bant and zoo to higher power levels. The best green creature in legacy since goyf.
4 - Jace the Mind Sculptor: I wish I could vote him #1 because of him being a boss and all, he's still not really indicative of legacy quite yet. But he'll get there soon enough, I'm sure.
5 - Ponder: Part of the reason blue combo can be so consistent is the new crop of 1 mana cantrips that got released within only the last few years. The history it has in the format means it beats out preordain (which is still too new) for the last spot.
You can't pull out the RUG from under me, CUZ I AM THE RUG!
1) Lion's Eye Diamond - Represent Combo
2) Sensei's Divining Top - Represent Control
3) Dark Confidant - Best 2 drop beside Tarmogoyf
4) Hymn to Tourach - The best 2 for 1 in the game
5) Knight of Reliquary - The best 3 drop in legacy
Honorable Mention: Jace, the Mind Sculptor, Natural Order, Umezawa's Jitte, Thoughtseize

Are you into Jazz? Have a look at the Lp's I have for sale on Discogs!
1. Show and Tell
2. Stifle
3. Life from the Loam

I think Show and Tell is for real these days and deserves some representation. If nothing else it isn't as redundant as a lot of the options we have.
Hill Giant means business.
didn't we do this already?
