Basically, we show players a book with all the cards from the set and ask them to pick out their favorites based on different criteria (mechanics, art, flavor text, etc.) One of the questions we asked for the Invasion godbook study was what are the best cards in the set based on mechanics (or game play)
The Great Distortion counters spells, but it's usually unclear what the controller is capable of countering, since it relies on matching cards in that player's hand with the mana value of spells on the stack
Off the top of my head, Captain Sisay, Dynaheir, Invoker Adept, Garth One-Eye and Triad of Fates all love this white creature
Just a difference in the shinniness of a card is not an Indicator for a fake card
