Its now a runoff in the top 8 designs, we vote between pairs and it brackets from there on up...
Here's the link, kiddies! I know what I'm hoping for!

Man, they don't seem all that great :-\ A couple seem ok, though.
I love eldritch rites, Mono Black Control will love seeing their kill spells twice, it seems like the best choice overall
Are you kidding? Having Double Down on the board will be insane in BG Rock post-rotation!
Yeah, that's one of the cards I was thinking of being decent, actually.
Edit: Talking about Eldritch's Rites
Eldritch's rites
Or
Soulfeasters rising
My hopes
soulfeasters rise sounds good actually, what i like is that it doesnt stop growing in abilities, all it needs is something like +1/+1 for each counter it gets beyond 7
I think its great as is... Id love to see these enchantments in standard holy poo
Pitty they don't have costs, as this would really help determine if they would be worth the insanity in the text box.
Mass Mummification is hillarious with {Vampire Hexmage}.
"Man, I really don't like how this duel has been going. Let's just both lose the game."
Not many of them seem playable, and the ones that do only are in certain archetypes. :(
I think decks could be built around {revenge for necromancy}! It would be nasty and most likely useable in all formats. I have been needing an excuse to make a discard deck!

I definitely like this one
Eldritch is one of my favorites, I feel double down, is a strictly mill, or self mill card...
VOTE DOUBLE DOWN!!!!
I like "Double Down" as well as everyone else, it is kinda shocking a card like that has not been made yet. Pretty powerful effect.
I think double down is lame.. I dont see how awesome it is, its 1)boring and 2) seeminly conditional. Theres nothin new or fun about it imo. But thats just me hehe
WEAK. Consuming Contract is okay. Depends on what the missing ability it'll be, and how much it costs.
Double Down could go great with {Sphnix of the Chimes} too. :)

Eldritch Rites got thrown out sadly :( but the cards still there seem like they can be built with pretty well
No it didn't. Rites is still there.

Read it. It is because he probably posted multiple cards
Which sucks cuz if you look at the margins rites was a clear victor
All black...
I think consuming contract will win overall. But, the discard card is either a close 2nd. Or a slim victor.
I'm not sure, but those are the two that will make it to top 2
Aww, I liked soulfeasters rising

Now I understand why you like said card, but it requires:
1. Damage has to be dealt to you
2. It returns 1 card to your hand at the end step.
So basically it is one of the same reasons people didn't like the leader auzoris in RTR, damage had to be dealt to you in order to work.
And it's only once a turn.

Yeah, that was the first thing we chose
I like demonic bargain and consuming contract.

The other one that made it to final four.
Wrong card sorry.
And now we are in to the finals with the discard effects one and the damage to you gives hand recursion
Now that I've tested some of the cards with friends I have found that Blood in the Watering Can is very, very powerful at a cost of three or less.

How so?
Blood in the watering can + {Phyrexian Arena} or {Bitterblossom}.
Right now the text for blood in the watering can is "if you lost life", they better not change that to "if you took combat damage"

Mostly as a sideboard card, but against a lot of decks you are losing life a lot. Against an aggressive deck it just lets you have infinite chump blockers.
