Welcome to the Best of 2021 awards, where we celebrate the best of r/Customhearthstone from the past year. Today, we begin voting on the winners, but you can still nominate for the Best Card.

The Best User category recognizes a user for their contributions to the community this year. There will be 1 winner from among the following nominations:

u/dnikko

I have quite a few people to nominate, but the first one goes to u/dnikko who created and runs Hearthcards. Even after 6 years, Nikko is still putting in work to make all of the Custom Hearthstone community possible and accessible with their site. It honestly impresses me how long they've been around and how quickly they update with new emblems and card templates available just hours after a new set or game mode is announced. I'm really glad that we have someone like them here to support, not just our subreddit, but the other of custom Hearthstone communities as well, so I'll keep nominating them each and every year.

u/RazorOfArtorias

Another nomination goes out to u/RazorOfArtorias for their brilliant design skills. They won last year for Best Designer yet they're still posting great card after great card in 2021. Each one is incredibly unique and interesting, playing with a variety of design spaces and mechanics. I do highly recommend checking out their work (perhaps for some inspiration :p). Oh, did I mention that they've also won EIGHTEEN weekly design competitions?

u/Coolboypai

Nominating u/Coolboypai for the Best User of this year. Coolboypai is the person who keeps a lot of the things on this subreddit running behind the scenes, and I can confidently say that this community wouldn't be nearly as large if it wasn't for them. Coolboypai is also an insightful designer, and a pillar in our community.

u/menovat

Nominating u/menovat as Best User. Menovat has kept up the goal to create a custom Monk class, and has been making sets for the class for one or two years now, almost catching up to all currently released Blizzard expansions, which I think is just some true dedication. Good job!

u/Maysick

Another mod being nominated here (by a mod), but u/Maysick is an integral part of this subreddit and while they may not be the most active, they have kept the weekly competitions running which I can imagine has been really important for so many.

u/MonstrousMaelstromZ

They’re both an amazing designer and incredibly active member of the custom hearthstone community. I can’t remember a popular post they haven’t commented on in the past year, which shows their dedication to and activity within the subreddit. Their growth as a designer over the past year has also been fun to watch. They consistently make incredibly unique cards and I love their multimedia-approach by making custom voice-lines and animations for some of their designs. I really can’t imagine r/CustomHearthstone without them here!
