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



There are actually multiple distinct infinite cardinalities. This is kind of a strange notion, because, intuitively, if you have an infinite list of things and you add more to it, you still just get an infinite list of things. If something is infinite then it's infinite, right? How could you talk about its size more than that?

This intuition is somewhat accurate, of course. If you have two sets of identical infinite cardinality A and B, then taking their union or their product will still give you a set of that same cardinality. So if you add infinity to infinity, you get infinity.

However, it's actually entirely possible to have two infinite sets that are of distinct "sizes." It's just that bridging the gap between infinites is a difficult thing. There are actually two infinite cardinalities that are commonly used: The cardinality of the natural numbers, also called "countable," and the cardinality of the real numbers. The second can be called "uncountable," but technically there are even more cardinalities, and "uncountable" refers to any non-countable infinite cardinality.

The countable cardinality is actually the smallest infinite cardinality, and it is called this because it's imaginable that you could actually count the elements. You can assign each one a distinct natural number (hence, the set is in bijection with the set of natural numbers).

Instant R
If you have ten or more age counters than each opponent, you may exile an instant card from your hand rather than pay this spell's mana cost.
End the turn. (Exile all spells and abilities from the stack, including this card. The player whose turn it is discards down to their maximum hand size. Damage wears off, and "this turn" and "until end of turn" effects end.)

Eternities Perpendicularity
Legendary Land (MR)
When Eternities Perpendicularity enters the battlefield, if it didn't enter through its own triggered ability, sacrifice it.
Whenever you cast a planeswalker spell, you may put Eternities Perpendicularity from your hand onto the battlefield.
Whenever a planeswalker you control leaves the battlefield, sacrifice Eternities Perpendicularity.
T: Add one mana of any color.
Not the most reliable way to harness æther, but it'll do in a pinch.

Yes, you can tap it to produce at least one mana if you "play it the improper way" in response to the sac trigger. This is deliberate. Not sure if the card would be underpowered *per se* without this but I suspect it might be.
