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.)

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.)

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).

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.

emily, rithaniel (although I don't think it really needs to be 3-color and also don't know what's up with the weird latin name: "they twist of fate"?)

hm: almost voted for rattingrots, but I think it's substantially too strong to be common -- straight up 4-mana draw two at instant speed is already a reasonable common card, and I don't think an extra U in the casting cost balances out adding a counterspell mode.

Iriva, Determined Entomologist 1G
Legendary Creature – Human Druid (R)
Whenever a nontoken Insect you control dies, exile it as long as it doesn't share a name with a card exiled by Iriva, Determined Entomologist. Whenever you exile a card this way, put a +1/+1 counter on Iriva and draw a card.

Really weird indeed. Neither of them are hyphenated in the Italian translation, that's why I had never seen the title spelled with a hyphen before. This a new thing I've learned today, so thank you.
Also, honorable mention for you today. I like the card but I'd prefer it as BR or BG.

slimytrout
I was convinced that you had to spell out in rules text what happens in case of a tie. Your Topple example proves me wrong, so disregard my earlier point. Another thing I learned today.

Yay, artifact day finally! Introducing a new artifact subtype: Tomes. A Tome is a magical artifact associated in some way with knowledge. They are usually books of some sort, but even scrolls and tablets could be considered Tomes. Ideally, when introduced in a set, they, like all new noncreature types, should have a few support cards. Blue would be the obvious primary color for the support, but even white and black should have some. Anyway, on to today's card.

3, T: Search your library for a dragon card and reveal it. Shuffle your library, then put the revealed card on top of it.
Dragon spells you cast cost 2 less to cast.

I was having trouble coming up with names yesterday, so I went on google translate and typed in "twist of fate" to translate it to latin. Not my smoothest moment, but I was considerably out-of-it yesterday.

Oh no, I just realized I made Fati Torquent say "target player" instead of "target opponent," which completely changes the functionality of the card!
