The DCC - May 13th, 2024

[Rithaniel]

Welcome to the DCC!
If you have any questions or comments, feel free to post in the DCC Discussion Thread.

How To Play

---

How does this card-making game work? It's simple! Whenever your card receives a vote, you receive [1] point for the month. If your card ends up with the most votes for that day, you will receive [2] additional points for the month. In the event of a tie, each person who tied receives [1] additional point. At the end of each month, the person with the most points on the scoreboard wins that month, then the scoreboard is cleared for the next month. You can participate in as many or as few days as you want in any month.

---

Rules

---

• Each day you may post any card you want. On the next day all of the posted cards will be put into the thread as long as your card didn't get disqualified - see the next point for more details. If you post more than one card in a DCC thread, only the first card you post will be taken.
• When you vote, you need to make exactly two votes for two different people. Vote for the cards that are listed in the first post, not other cards being posted in the thread. If you notice that you've only voted for one person, include your second vote in a post, even if you're not submitting a card.
• If you want to change your vote for any reason, post that change in the day's thread (you can include it with your card if you want). Changed votes in the discussion thread will be ignored.
• Voting for only one person, for three or more people, or for yourself will earn you an asterisk by your name in the monthly leaderboard. So will failing to vote if you've posted a card. (We're not going to do anything about people who don't vote or post cards; that would be kind of silly.) This indicates that you're on probation for the next 21 days. If you're on probation and you make another improper vote, your card will be disqualified. Repeated disqualification is grounds for warnings and/or infractions for not following the game rules, so please don't do it.
• Voting for everything in the poll will be grounds for a lifetime ban from the DCC. Don't do it. It just wastes the thread creators' time.
• If you wish to post a render, please use the hyperlink option when posting your card and make the card name the image link. Renders are usually large enough to clog up the list, so submit a text-formed card and (optionally) a link in the name tothe render.
• This thread is just for your card submission. Take your questions/comments to our discussion thread. If it's a question, comment, or complaint about probation, PM void_nothing and/or the month's DCC organizer.
• When posting make sure that:
  • You have included all of the previous day's entries.
  • You update the leaderboard with the previous day's scores.

(An easy way to post the new thread is to hit the multiquote button on every post in the previous day's thread, then click Post Reply. Select everything in this post, copy it, and then paste it into the first post for a new thread. You'll have to clean up a few small things, like quote tags around the opening post and the previous day's cards.)

It's since NEO that I have to make a second edition of my first story to fix the main antagonist's backstory as back in 2019 when I first wrote it I thought it would have been cool to make it an ogre from Kamigawa, there's no way they will ever go back to Kamigawa for real... and then NEO was announced. He will still be from Kamigawa, but I have to fix a few details in his backstory to make it compatible with the new Kamigawa. I already know what and how I have to fix but I still have to put the will and time to actually do it, taking advantage of that to also fix a few dates that also need fixing after additional worldbuilding on Vukanat that I made after I wrote that story. Sooner or later I will do it, but I don't know if I will ever publish that story. There are a few parts that are explicit and probably NSFW (I've never talked about those parts here for obvious reasons but they do exist), and that would certainly go against Wizards' fan content policy. Maybe I could make a clean version for publishing, we'll see.

@bravelion83 It's been a while since I was last here, yeah. Life just got in the way, and Hasbro got me depressed.

The non-W faction of Kolyfar are the Serlaks. I was missing it until I refound them in one of the articles that I'm republishing, I refined their concept and put them right into my table. They are sapient creatures, physically half shark and half dinosaur, with the same physical appearance that I described in that article. They are natural predators (which fits in Jund) who plan their predatory attacks in detail before acting (which gives them the additional U). They are found on Kolyfar, but nobody knows their real origin. To other people on the plane, that's a mystery and there is a lot of speculation about it. The only thing they know for sure is that Serlaks are one of the two forces that prey on the plane, the other being the Wicked Pride, that you've already met. Obviously, as the author of the ongoing story in my table, I do know where Serlaks are from, how they got on Kolyfar, and what's their purpose there, but nor the denizens of the plane nor the reader will know any of that when we'll get to Kolyfar. There is something bigger going on with them in the story arc the Kolyfar set belongs to, but the reader will only learn that in future stories in that arc, and so will you. Maybe. We'll see. Mechanically, at least in the Kolyfar set, they are all about cards entering your graveyard, no matter from where.

Serlak Revelry {B/R}
Sorcery (R)
Spree (Choose one or more additional costs.)
+ 2 — Until end of turn, whenever one or more cards are put into your graveyard from anywhere, Serlak Revelry deals 1 damage to each opponent.
+ {U/B} — Target player mills four cards.
+ BR — You may discard a card. If you do, you draw two cards and you gain 2 life.
+ {R/G} — You may sacrifice a creature. If you do, it deals damage equal to its power to another target creature.

Glitterati Gathering 2W
Enchantment (U)
Invite — Whenever a creature enters the battlefield under your control, choose one that hasn't been chosen this turn —
• Scry 1.
• Tap target creature an opponent controls.
• Create a Libation token. (It's an artifact with "2, T, Sacrifice this artifact: Put a +1/+1 counter on target creature. It becomes euphoric. Activate only as a sorcery.)
When Ambrose's glitterati all descend upon the same party, it's a radiant sight to behold.
