Icy won, congratulations! I’m thinking of remaking the schedule to Sundays since it fits me more.
Today, we have a list of the available 0-cost rare spells to vote! Please don’t vote for best card because it is undeniably Flash Reincarnation; vote for design, creativity and overall coolness!

Your forgot about Beam Shock, Juxtaposition, Flash Freeze, Dampening Wave and Burden of Knowledge.
These are the rares.
Looks like I should read more carefully.
I like how Songhai spells just I’m sorry for this pun spell “boring” to the forum as it seems. This poll only serves as more proof.
Here’s another decklist. This one is also pretty stacked with legendaries, and this time it happened naturally with no draft manipulation - in fact, I could’ve had up to 6 legends if I hadn’t passed on a Futureshaker and a Fatesealer due to curve considerations. It’s a nice change of place after having several drafts in a row with only 1 legendary (and it also includes my first Dancing Blades in over 5 drafts). I haven’t been doing justice to the list with some pretty poor play, but I’m still currently sitting at 7-2, carried by the sheer power on the top end.
Some observations:
I had flashbacks appearing outta nowhere when reading this one.
Auroara is always one of my low-priority picks in Gauntlet just because you can’t rack up their damage fast without a dedicated deck.
It’s a Ranged unit with 5 Health. Whatever all its other stats and features are that’s what matters.
If you can get lots of Magnetizes you can just rely on your General to position your troops. Also counters Repulsor and Demonic Lure! It’s been a very good spell in my Lyonar drafts.
Overall your top end is extremely pressuring. You have Dawn’s Eye. You have Aperion’s Claim. Stormblade. Silhouette Tracer to infiltrate. And no one plays around Dust Wailer. This is very solid compared to most of my drafts.
I MISSED IT. AGAIN.
Essence Sculpt won for best design!
This week we have the four basic cost-1 minions in the whole of Duelyst pitting off against each other in a battle of…
…attractiveness. Yes, of course! If it was a show of power Bloodtear Alchemist would’ve won the bracket without breaking a sweat!
Vote for the most appealing sprite and animation!

Does anyone know the “rules” of Gauntlet drafting? I was thinking about slapping together a rudimentary Gauntlet draft simulator, but I have no real knowledge of the percentages at which different cards appear. @t2k5 used to have Gauntlet stats tracked, which would be helpful, but it appears the tracker is broken and has never been updated to take into account the last three expansions.
Just based on personal observation, I believe that:
Beyond that I don’t know.
Thread is immortal now 
The gods have smiled upon my thread! Rejoice, my fellow Gauntlet fanatics!

Dragonlark and Planar Scout tied with 4 votes each! This is the first draw in my list of polls! Discobot, who can’t take both for an answer, decided by themselves that Dragonlark was the better out of the two.
This will be the start of a series of polls unrelated to the cards’ power level. This week will be a battle of gimmicks! Which card would you feel the most proud/hilarious/satisfying to successfully issue the kill or pull off their strat in Gauntlet?

I’m convinced that Khanuum-ka is responsible for 99% of all rage quits.
The tracker is “fine”. What changed was how the data is parsed on CPG/BNs server side. It’s not that he didnt update it, its that they changed their server settings for bizarre reasons that killed loads of stat trackers at the time.
As a add on to the above, Ka is fairly low on my list of cards i’d consider very good in the format in the first place.
That’s unfortunate. The reason I thought the gauntlet tracker hadn’t been updated is that the statistics widget won’t even load, and in the underlying html source, the “Card Sets” list variable only goes up to Ancient Bonds. By contrast, the orbs tracker is still perfectly functional, goes all the way up to Trials of Mythron, and provides more than enough information to estimate each card’s appearance rate, which is all I’m really looking for (although I’d certainly buy the fact that it hasn’t collected any new data in a while).
I guess in the absence of third-party tools, I can always try asking for Word of God: anyone from CPG, can you offer any insight on the technical details behind Gauntlet drafting (in particular, the appearance rate for different sets/categories of cards)?
@stormshade @ThanatosNoa
I still use the orb tracker script, so my orbs should be counted
