    The rating order I guessed:
    10 (Bog Wreckage is fairly obviously the worst of these)
    7 (I guess I’ve never seen a Jade Monolith in a game, ever, so I underestimated it)
    8 (Dead Reveler is fine in limited but very boring)
    9 (I thought people would like Clockwork Swarm more)
    6 (spot on for Dwarven Hold)
    4 (I knew Fat Moti would be very popular, but I slightly underestimated quite how much)
    5 (Fyndhorn Elder is indeed an awesome accelerant – 0.4s below Overgrowth is about right)
    1
    2
    3 (I got the top three right, but in completely reversed order. I’m startled Promise of Power ranked higher than Hell’s Caretaker: drawing cards is great, but abusing graveyards just wins games, as you said. I thought the Prerelease Promo-ness of the Silent Specter would push it above the others, but I guess that’s not as much of a factor as I thought.)

    Good fun! Do again!

      You know, you’d think number 10 was obvious, but I threw this quiz at a friend of mine, and he put it sixth, and put Dwarven Hold as ten. I find it interesting not only what the rating say about the community, but also about the person trying to outguess the community. My friend is a classic Spike, and, while he knew Bog Wreckage was terrible, he saw that it could potentially end up in a lot of different decks (albeit, as an inferior choice to a lot of other land. But, still, a choice.) Dwarven Hold, however, is just too slow and clunky to get any consistent value out of it. It’s a card designed with Timmy in mind, and as such, my Spike friend completely whiffed on it.
