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.)

Flatline Thank you for the wonderful ending that you and the other two players in the final round of this month's MCC have allowed me to write with your choices throughout the month. Please, check it out if you haven't already. I'm very proud of that little story paragraph I've written there. I think it might be seriously one of the best ones I've ever written.
Also, an honorable mention for your card today.

Votes:
netn10 — Even if it should say "If it's a creature card with..." Also, you too should check out that story paragraph in the MCC finals.
Rithaniel — Again, knowing the context helps so much. In the flavor text, it should be "Nor does its lineage." No apostrophe and a full stop at the end.

Yeah, I threw up that card in a panic in the last ten minutes of the day. It's approximately the Eldrazi Phoenix I've had in mind for Vhedrasa, but there are also likely some tweaks in its future. In particular I want to redo the flavor text entirely to give a little bit more insight into Vhedrasa. Also, your design for today is clever, I like it.

hm: netn10, I like the card but I think this is too good of a rate. In the right deck, it basically gives your 1-drops flash and Scry 2. Obviously there's a miss potential (it's barely playable in limited), but I still think it should cost 2 mana or have scry 2 instead of 3.

Rithaniel — One thought that I had was: "Wasn't Vhedrasa supposed to be red AND white?" Then, I answered myself that this card, the Phoenix, probably represents the red part of him... her... it... them... (? I don't really know which pronoun is the proper one for Vhedrasa.), with another card representing... Vhedrasa's white aspect (At this point, I'll just do it like for Ashiok, mentioning the name every time).

As for you card today, I really like the idea, but it just needs some kind of memory aid. I'd make it an enchantment with hexproof that enters with three counters, at the beginning of each upkeep you draw a card and remove one counter, and when you remove the last counter you sacrifice it. Yes, a much longer wording, but you avoid all memory issues that way, and it could even easily keep the same flavor.
(EDIT: Or another even better idea. Use vanishing! Just make it an enchantment with hexproof, vanishing 3, and "Whenever a time counter is removed from CARDNAME, draw a card.")
Also, I know of a certain someone (Maro) that would tell you that this out of the color pie because green's card draw must be tied to its creatures and this is not in any way.

netn10 — In Deny, a pretty important part is missing. "If you do, counter that spell..." Yes, but what spell? You've never mentioned it before! Either the sentence "Counter target spell" is missing at the start of Deny's rules text, or "counter that spell if..." should become "counter target spell if..."

Flatline — The Adventure being just "create a Food" is the exact same as that on Curious Pair. Also, I'm not a big fan of stealing things, but that's just me. The main thing is that the Adventure already exist. In a different color, but it does.
Today and in the next two days, a three-card mini-cycle in Bant colors inspired by Innistrad. These three cards are supposed to be set at a time before Liliana resurrects Mikaeus in the original Innistrad block.

Apostle of Wisdom UU
Creature — Human Cleric (R)
Whenever Apostle of Wisdom or another blue creature enters the battlefield under your control, you may choose target Werewolf creature an opponent controls. When you do, put a +1/+1 counter on Apostle of Wisdom, then tap the chosen creature. That creature doesn't untap during its controller's untap step for as long as Apostle of Wisdom is on the battlefield.

Yeah, there will probably be several cards associated with Vhedrasa, ranging from commons to mythics. Probably just one colored rare creature for each color, though.

Also, I generally have more trust in a player's ability to keep track of things than that. If it's an issue, then people will invent their own method of keeping track of how many cards they've drawn. I'm also fine with a little more color bleed that others are. I mean, I actually would like to see blinking (exile then return to battlefield) bled into red (flickering flames. Perfect flavor)
