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.)

Many thanks for your wishes. It was definitely good enough, which, trust me, is a lot to say. Things like this make me feel like I'm at home on this site. At least there are people who care, which is also a lot to say. Again, thank you.

This just can't be a coincidence. I'll never believe it even if you say so. I totally know who that Cowardly Lion is. Your card is just perfect (not the wording of the Adventure, but it doesn't matter now). A wonderful sequel to my own Bittersweet Celebration from yesterday, and you've just made me a wonderful gift, definitely one of the best I've received this year. I'll be honest: I'm in tears now. And you have no idea of just how much that flavor text hits me. It is exactly what I need to hear in this period of my life. Thank you. A lot.

EDIT netn10:
I've designed a card. A double-faced card. Just out of how your Cowardly Lion made me feel. Enjoy my submission for today. Look what you made me do!
(If anybody's wondering, this scene is from the Simpsons episode "The Haw-Hawed Couple", one of my favorite ones ever. The ending of that episode is also another thing that always brings me to tears. Nelson Muntz is also one of my favorite characters: yes, he's aggressive and often a bully, but that's only his outer appearance. Inside he's not like that, and this is one of the episodes where that's most evident. Actually, his aggressive side is just a way to escape his fears and the shame for his poor life conditions. At least, that's how Nelson looks to me, and why I like him so much.)

Other EDIT: I've thought about it, and I think this needs to be the wording of the Adventure:
Search for Courage 2WW
Sorcery — Adventure
If you control a creature that has an Adventure named Search for Brain, a creature that has an Adventure named Search for Heart, and a creature that has an Adventure named Search for Home, you win the game.
Solitary Lion W
Creature — Cat (R)
WWW: Transform Solitary Lion. Activate this ability only if you control no other creatures.
"I, as all leonin on Theros, have been taught since my childhood to isolate myself from others. But how can I even think of having real friends if I keep living in isolation?"

Courageous Pridemate
(W) Creature — Cat Warrior (R)
Vigilance
WWW, T: Choose one —
• Create two 1/1 white Cat Warrior creature tokens.
• Return Courageous Pridemate to its owner's hand.
"I just can't be afraid to open up all of myself to others: my mind, and my heart. Only then I'll really be home. And only then I'll be able to win my fights. Not alone, but with all my allies. All my friends."

Congratulations for the victory! I'll gladly take the second place, it's still my best result ever except for a tied victory years ago. Next step: win again, this time by myself! I was close this month... but I'm sure the right time for that will come eventually! In the meantime, congratulations again!

Isn't that just what real friends should always do? And think that we don't even know in person! Again, thank you very much. I see the story continues both in your card that's up for voting today (which by the way I really like a lot, and you've anticipated me posting it in some form if not identical) and in the one I'm posting here today... I like that!

Another very personal card from me. This has been inspired by a real life experience I've had yesterday night. For once, I was the one speaking words very similar to this flavor text.
Loyal Leonin WU
Creature — Cat (U)
When Loyal Leonin enters the battlefield, you may choose an Aura enchanting another permanent you control. If that Aura could enchant Loyal Leonin, attach it to Loyal Leonin.
