From the February 27th Instagram post by Portfolio 52:
The
one you’ve all been waiting for… The final ‘Deck of the Year’ category
of which our awards are named after wraps up the 2021 DOTY week long
ceremony. This award recognizes the best overall deck that voters
thought were the most noteworthy of the past year. These decks must
shine not just in a single category, but through all of them from
outside tuck to inside courts and everything in between.
This year’s winners are noteworthy not just in their excellence in their art of playing cards, but also because it brought up something we honestly didn’t even think about occurring, a tie! That’s right, through all the thousands of votes, the decks for third place were so close that literally one vote would have shifted the stance. It goes to show that your voice does matter in these awards. Going forward we may figure out a way to do tie breakers and are certainly open to suggestions on what you guys think to do in these extremely rare events (rock paper scissors tournament? ultimate death match?), but for this year we decided to celebrate them both in all its serendipity! So without further ado this year’s winners…
