The ThunderDominion Card Rankings are community-sourced card rankings with voting taking place on the Dominion Discord.

Ranking Methods

ThunderDominion rankings are done within expansions and separated into Cards and Landscapes. Each list is created using the results of a series of votes on the Dominion Discord; each vote is called either when there is a clear consensus, or after a certain amount of time. During the voting periods, people are encouraged to discuss and convince others of their position.

  • October-December 2018, hosted by jsh357: In each round of voting, people were asked to vote for the best and worst remaining unranked card; the two cards that received a plurality of votes for best remaining and worst remaining were placed in the next highest and lowest spots, respectively
  • July-September 2019, hosted by aku chi: In each round of voting, people were presented with a card and were asked to vote where in the partial list it should be inserted; the card was then inserted at the median vote
  • July-September 2020, hosted by kHz, aku chi, and tracer: In each round of voting, people were presented with a card and were asked to vote where in the partial list it should be inserted; the card was then inserted at the median vote. Unlike in 2019 the cards were presented in a random order rather than ordered by cost. After an expansion is complete, a "correction sort" is used to move around heavily disputed cards.
  • July-October 2021, hosted by aku chi: a quicksort algorithm is used, with voters asked to compare cards against a pivot in each round of voting. The first pivot was chosen based on the median of the 2020 results.
  • July-??? 2022, hosted by nasmith99: In each round of voting, people were presented with a random card and were asked to vote where in the partial list it should be inserted; the card was then inserted at the median vote. 2022 was a noteworthy year because it featured Allies, multiple second editions, and errata that affected several cards in big ways (e.g. Merchant Guild and Port).

There have also been hot-take lists that started immediately after the releases of Renaissance (hosted by jsh357), Menagerie (hosted by kaplane), and Allies (hosted by jsh357) with much shorter voting rounds. These were all done in the method used in 2018.

For Seaside, Prosperity, and Hinterlands 2E hot takes (all hosted by tracer), the new cards were inserted into the 2021 list, in the method used in 2019.

The remainder of this article shows the results from each year's ranking, sorted by expansion.
