The DCC - May 9th, 2021

[void_nothing]

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 to the 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.)

Notes of the Day

---

Today's Norse mythology fact: Thor's famous hammer - Mjölnir - was made as the result of a contest, and actually singlehandedly won the said contest for its maker. The story is rather involved, but a lot of the Norse gods' famous artifacts have their origins in this same story. This includes Odin's spear Gungnir as well as some more obscure ones such as Skíðblaðnir, Baldur's ship which can shrink to pocket-sized and grow to full-sized on command.

Votes: void_nothing, Zemoo (even if I think it might be too strong, it looks like a better Electrolyze even though it can't hit creatures)

Search for Your Kin 1G
Sorcery (U)
Reveal a creature card from your hand. Look at the top five cards of your library. You may reveal a creature card from among them that shares a creature type with the card you revealed from your hand. Put that card into your hand. Put the rest on the bottom in a random order.

Zemoo, Rithaniel

Map to the Crossroads 1
Artifact - Map (C)

Flying
If you're the only player with Early Bird in an opening hand and you're not the starting player, you may begin the game with Early Bird. If you do, you become the starting player.

Into the Waste 4BB
Enchantment (R)
Whenever you would draw one or more cards, mill that many cards instead.
You may play cards from your graveyard. If a card would be put into your graveyard from anywhere but your library, exile it instead.

Votes: Zemoo, RattingRots

Mystifying Rebuttal
Instant (Uncommon)
Counter target spell. If you control a Golem or a Cat token, put that card on the bottom of its owner's library.
Those who see the paper don't know what they can't make argument for.

Votes: bravelion83, RattingRots

Re: Zemoo - As was pointed out previously, this is just a supercharged Electrolyze, but I think the original is a well-balanced card.

Impulsive Double Agent
Creature - Goblin Soldier R
Haste
You can't cast creature spells.
Whenever Impulsive Double Agent deals combat damage to a player, you may pay . If you do, that player gains control of Impulsive Double Agent.

SPOILER

Show

Hide

I was going for a reverse Blightning, hence the name. Taking a creature(s) off the board is what makes Electrolyze Card advantage. If taking a planeswalker off the board leads to too much card advantage, I'm alright with that, the planeswalker probably got a card's worth of effect when it entered.

Torbwald, Prince of Red Fell
Legendary Creature - Dwarf Noble (r)
First strike
Whenever a source you control would deal damage to an opponent, it deals that much plus 1 instead.
Whenever an opponent would gain life, they gain that much minus 1 instead.
3/2

Tested Golem can't be countered if you cast it during an opponent's extra turn.

Petrify 2W

Put a petrification counter on target creature. That creature can't attack or block and its activated abilities can't be activated as long as it has a petrification counter on it.

Curse of Procrastination

At the beginning of enchanted player's end step, if they cast one or fewer spells this turn, the next spell they cast costs more to cast.
