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



Congratulations to JessWill for winning the month of April with an overall score of 107 points!

Early on in the month, JessWill managed to gain a pretty good lead over the competition. Things were close in the beginning, but as time went on, the gap steadily grew, as she displayed a consistency of quality that is not often seen. An overall score of 107 across 30 days means that she managed just over 3.5 votes every single day. It's an impressive record, and so the victory is well earned. Once more, congratulations!

Our next host, for the month of May, is void_nothing. I look forward to seeing how the competition shapes up in the coming month.

Barbarism 1RG
Sorcery (R)
As an additional cost to play Barbarism, sacrifice a creature.
Exile cards from the top of your library until you reveal a creature card. Put that card onto the battlefield with a +1/+1 counter on it and haste. Until end of turn, you may play the rest of the cards exiled this way.

I like this concept but I think the copying effect requires that you at least make it UW.

I also think first strike could make this card too good. Once you get to copy it twice, you have 8 first strike power and it's basically impossible for your opponent to attack you.
Separated Sliver 2G
Creature - Sliver (U)
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.)
All paired creatures get +1/+1.

Hieromantic Ritual W

Put a condemnation counter on target creature. For as long as it has a condemnation counter on it, it gains "When this creature attacks, exile it at end of combat."
Draw a card.

Re: RattingRots - Your analysis is fair. I was thinking about making it 1/1 or increasing the cost. However, I'm a little neutral on the color. I am a fan, somewhat, of bleeding effects a bit between colors, after all.

Pool of Distorted Vision
Land R
, Sacrifice Pool of Distorted Visions: Choose one —
  • Search your library for a basic land card, put that card onto the battlefield, then shuffle.
  • Reveal the top card of your library. If a land card is revealed this way, put it onto the battlefield.
