The DCC - December 8, 2020

[Rithaniel]

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.)

Probation: Pygyzy (13 days)

Votes: Pygyzy, OneAndOnly

Nexus of the Name
Enchantment M
If you would name a card, you may instead not name a card or name two cards.
The only way to stay ahead of a sphinx is to know more than a sphinx, but that's not something a mortal can do. At least, not without a little help.

Votes: Rithaniel, Pygyzy
.
Khhrrk, the Ocean's Clutch -- 4UUUU
Legendary Creature - Crab Kraken
When Khhrrk deals combat damage to a player, mill all but the top twelve cards of that player's library, then that player mills a card.
6/6

Votes: Rithaniel (though I do think it's overpowered), OneAndOnly

Ecosystem Conservator 2BG
Creature - Elf Assassin (R)
When Ecosystem Conservator enters the battlefield, put a +1/+1 counter on each creature.
T: Destroy target creature without a +1/+1 counter on it.
"No more."
2/2

Votes: Pygyzy, Rithaniel

Protector of Endless Horizons 2G
Creature - Human Druid (Mythic)
T: Add one mana of any color.
1W: Target land gains indestructible until end of turn.
2U: Reveal the top card of your library. If it's a land card, put it onto the battlefield. Otherwise, put that card into your hand.
3B: Destroy target enchantment you don't control.
4R: Protector of Endless Horizons Horizons deals 2 damage to each other artifact creature.
1/1

OneAndOnly, Rithaniel

Mirrored Pain 3BBB
Enchantment (R)
If a source an opponent controls would deal damage to you, it deals that much damage to you and to that opponent instead.

Votes: Sagharri, netn10

Form of the Phoenix 2RR
Enchantment (M)
Creatures without flying can't attack you.
At the beginning of your upkeep, your life total becomes 4.
Whenever you cast your third instant and/or sorcery spell in a turn, until the beginning of your next turn, damage that would reduce your life total to less than 1 reduces it to 1 instead.
Creatures you control have prowess and "Whenever this creature deals combat damage to a player, you may cast target instant or sorcery card with converted mana cost equal to the amount of damage dealt from your graveyard this turn."

Votes: OneAndOnly, Sagharri

Attack of the Flying Brain
Instant U
Reveal cards from the top of your library until you reveal a blue creature card. Put that card onto the battlefield, then it loses all abilities and becomes a blue Brain creature with flying, hexproof, and base power and toughness 1/1. Shuffle all other cards revealed this way into your library.
"Wait, why would you—?"
"DO NOT QUESTION THE BRAIN!"

[Riria]

Votes: Rithaniel, netn10 (actual black enchantment removal that feels right)

Glue Barrier 2U
Artifact - Palisade (U)
(Palisades can both block as if they are creatures and be attacked as if they are planeswalkers. Creatures attacking a Palisade can be blocked by other creatures and Palisades, but not by itself. Abilities that trigger when a creature attacks a player or planeswalker don't trigger when a creature attacks a Palisade; this is deliberate and won't be errata'd. The number at the bottom is its toughness.)
Whenever a creature deals damage to Glue Barrier, it doesn't untap during its controller's next untap step.
