The DCC - September 17, 2019

[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.)

Tough one today. Lots of good cards

I was going to post a green card today, but when inspiration strikes like a bolt from the heavens, you've got to heed it.

Explorer's Morion 1{B/G}
Artifact - Equipment (Rare)
Whenever the equipped creature attacks, it explores. (Reveal the top card of your library. Put that card into your hand if it's a land. Otherwise, put a +1/+1 counter on this creature, then put the card back or put it into your graveyard.)
Equip 2

For anyone wondering, a Morion is a type of helmet used by the Spanish military during the renaissance. Most famously by the conquistadors.

Rithaniel, marioguy3 (only thing is GB seems a bit awkward - haven't seen enough spoilers to say if white is a good food color, but I would go with WB or WG I think)

Lot of good submissions and I have some comments but I'm too tired to write them down currently.

Is Moby-Dick really hyphenated in English? In the Italian translation it's not, but I admit I don't know the original.
By the way, the attribution should be on its own line with no spaces right after the dash.

slimytrout - The card should specify what happens if there's a tie for highest CMC.
RattingRots - The wording should be "you draw that many cards and you lose that much life."
Krishnath - "Whenever equipped creature" without "the", and missing mana tags in the equip cost, but I really like the idea.

Unquiet Cemetery 3BB
Enchantment(R)
Each creature card in your graveyard has unearth. The unearth cost is equal to the mana cost.
Unearthed creatures you control have deathtouch. (A creature is unearthed if it entered the battlefield as the result of an unearth ability.)
"Some say the dead must stay dead. But here you just have to accept that the dead should stay dead."

The wording is the correct wording for the ability, even if it feels a little off. I double checked gatherer for the handful of cards that have it already.

I believe the card should work as written, since it specifically says "target" both times. Unless I'm mistaken, that means that if there's a tie, the owner of Demanding Pitmaster gets to choose from among the tied creatures. Of course, I have no judging experience, so I don't actually know this to be true, but it seems to be reflected in Topple (which, admittedly, does have reminder text saying this explicitly).

Ethereal Regalia W
Enchantment – Aura (U)
Enchant creature you control
Enchanted creature gets +1/+1 for each enchantment you control.
Incantation 2W (When you cast this spell, create a token copy of this enchantment for each time you paid its incantation cost. Attach each of those to a different target permanent.)

Eidolon of Famine 3B

Fati Torquent URW
Sorcery R
Search your library for two nonland permanent cards and choose one at random. Put that permanent onto the battlefield under target player's control and the other onto the battlefield under your control. Then shuffle your library.
Sometimes, fate gives you a responsibility you aren't prepared for.

The title is indeed hyphenated, even though the whale's name is not. Weird, I know.
