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.)



Notes of the Day



Time to make the donuts.

The dash ability for this would still trigger as far as I know. I would've liked to have made the dash cost mono-red, but I just don't think red should have access to what amounts to blinking a creature every turn.

Mirrorform Mimic 3u
Creature — Shapeshifter (R)
You may have Mirrorform Mimic enter the battlefield as a copy of any creature you control.
Dash 1ur (You may cast this spell for its dash cost. If you do, it gains haste, and it's returned from the battlefield to its owner's hand at the beginning of the next end step.)

bravelion83 and slimytrout - I think both of these are just a bit too pushed. Slimytrout I had to give some thought to because it's on the same level as (and probably worse than) Snapcaster Mage. I personally think Snapcaster is too OP but it's a bit unfair to judge a custom card on that when it's "good enough" for wotc. This ended up being the tie-breaker because I couldn't decide between this and netn10's card.
Ashmouth Host 1B
Creature - Human Minion (R)
Soulbond (You may pair this creature with another unpaired creature when either enters the battlefield. They remain paired for as long as you control both of them.)
As long as ~ is paired with another creature, each creature has "1, Sacrifice this creature: You draw a card and lose 1 life.

RattingRots - Very interesting card, and very original use of soulbond, but I can easily see potential memory issues.
slimytrout - I really wish the flicker was optional.
Just so you know, there is a pretty big Easter Egg in this card... despite tomorrow being Christmas.

Deep Disdain 1UU
Enchantment (R)
Creatures your opponents control get -3/-0 and lose all abilities.
At the beginning of your upkeep, sacrifice Deep Disdain.
Kim has always hated wishes for any occasions: birthdays, holidays, new year... He knew people actually just said those words because of a social convention, so he merely considered them as words without meaning. Nothing more.

Haste, Lifelink
Arvas, Hero of Heroes can't attack or block unless you control three or more tapped creatures.
4/4
