As usual, we had a ton of awesome designs to assess! Unfortunately, we had to narrow them down. But before, everyone should get acquainted with out rules of voting:
Voting Rules
- Each player should vote for their two favorite blue cards from below. You may vote for cards by users or design team members
- Each player should provide feedback on the cards for which they voted, such as possible changes.
- Each player may provide feedback on any of the other cards that are presented as well. Just be clear on what cards your are voting for and which ones you are simply commenting on.
- Design team members will not be voting, so if you do not like their designs and you all vote for something else, we will not win (which is fine).
To help with your decisions, this link will give you some background about Sorok:

All votes must be submitted in the comments below by midnight EST on Wednesday, February 1st, 2012.
I'm sad none of my designs were chosen :( I thought they were pretty interesting... And some of the few cards that were worded properly...
Anyway, I think that the bird is a little too good, I would vote for it if it costed 2. I really don't like any of the design team's cards. Waterfall Vaulter seems like an excellent design, so I'll vote for that one.

Strange. I would have thought that if any of my cards had a chance to make it to voting, it would have been Sheening Force. On the plus side, this helps me understand what other people look for in a card.
Anyways yeah I'm gonna vote on my Trinket Thief :) I would say that if you feel it needs a nerf, I can see the "for as long as you control" clause fitting here. Also I would like to see someone think of a more interesting name. I personally dont like it.
Next I vote on Crystalline Dagger, because card advantage and direct damage in 1 card is kind of a big deal. No suggestions, good as is.

my first vote is for crystalline dagger the only change i would say is the equip cost to 1RU.
my second vote is for trinket thief with the "for as long as you control" clause.

Also keep in mind in the voting tha we have a lot of cards that refer to equipment so far in this set but very few equipment.

I would have thought there would have been more equipment in this set considering equipment is a large theme in Sorok? Maybe we can help design some uncommon equipment?
Anyhoos, as much as I would like to vote for my own Command Steel, I'll give my first vote to Dissolution Blade due to the equipment being low in the set, and my second vote to Trinket Thief seeing as its similar to my idea but more appealing I guess.
Stoked that a card design of mine is in the vote at least, I'm rather chuffed :D

First (not gonna vote for my own cause I think its cheesy) I like protective wings, but if it gives resolve and hexproof can it be made into a gemstone? kinda like the gemstones in the plane of Sorok are giving the resolve mechanic/abilities?... for story line and gemstone purposes? and what would the name change to? protective scales? or...?
SecondI would vote for Trinket Thief, but suggest it to cost 3UU and have the "as long as you control" clause because I can already see the master thief in him and with the added bonus of free equip, hes just too broken as a CMC=4 card, and I see how it can be abused across too many formats, or make him a 1/1 so he can die to many one CMC=1 spells that do one damage
Im stoked to see mine made the cut and thanks to all you guysLooking back on my own suggestion I would say if it has a multicolor equip I would have made it "R and a U" or "2colorless 1R"

Protective wings - nice and simple
and there are too many other good cards in there, so I won't vote for another. But I hope at least one equipment makes it.

My votes are for Dissolution Blade and Trinket Thief. My only suggestion is that the Thief should have a "for as long as you control" clause. I think the cost is fine.
