As the year ends, we will be hearing all sorts of “best of” lists. I thought it would be interesting to see what people see as the “Best of ANR” would be for 2017.

Based on my quick research (reading Wikipedia) cards released in 2017 include Quorum, All of Red Sands, and Terminal Directive.

Here are my choices. What are yours?

BEST AGENDA of 2017: Government Takeover scored by @Marsellus:

  • during Euro Championships

  • while on the stream

  • scored the hard way, IIRC behind double Archer

  • when he was on 0 points so that the game continued

  • and with a click to spare, so he could use the click for Takeover’s ability
