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.)

Sagharri and Flatline - Striking how similar your cards are. I think I personally like Sagharri's version slightly more, but Flatline's design is also pretty good.

Sorry, I hadn't noticed that. Not being a snow artifact itself was the only problem I had with your card.

Enchantment (M)
As long as you control exactly one creature, that creature has protection from everything, you have hexproof, and your life total can't change.

A top-down design, meant to go in a "loner" archetype like black in ROE. I considered making it white or white-black, but I felt like the concept wanted to be monoblack. I still think it's just a bend and not a break in black.

bravelion83 and Rithaniel - I like both of these concepts, but I think in both cases it's way too easy for a normal deck to run it with no much investment, and just take over a game. For Loneliness, I think it needs to be easier for your opponent to answer without having really specific hate, and for Worldseal, I think the cost to play spells is so huge it's going to function like a Standstill essentially.

slimytrout - I also like this, but I think it's a bit high tension - it's going to suck more than usual when you get 2-for-1ed with this. I think it should make the tokens at the beginning of combat on your turn, which at least allows some way to conteract a deck packing removal
Frazzled Researcher 2U

When ~ enters the battlefield, scry 3, then put the top card of your library in your graveyard.

Yeah, I wasn't sure how to cost it. I wanted it to really feel like an impactful card, so making the cost to ignore the effect low would have kind of defeated the purpose. Make it too high (which I probably did) and you get a card that grinds the game to a halt. I like the look of the design I've currently put forward, though.
Creeping Morass
Land R
, Pay 1 life, Sacrifice Creeping Morass: Search your library for a Swamp or Forest card, put it onto the battlefield tapped, then shuffle your library.
: Creeping Morass becomes a 2/4 black and green Spider creature with lifelink and reach until end of turn. It's still a land.
