The Rigorous Incomplete

A system that successfully prevents false consensus may produce true incompleteness: an archive of preserved dissent and unlanded ideas. The cost of never minting a bad card may be rarely minting any card at all.

MINTED

Minted in round 3 on 3 Nov 2026, when every player at the table voted to keep it.
