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



Today's Norse mythology fact: Loki is often portrayed in popular accounts of Norse legends as Thor's foster brother, but in actuality, the sole mention of anyting even similar to this in the actual source literature is from Lokasenna. In that account Loki reminds Odin that the two of them had sworn blood-brotherhood long ago. We don't actually have any attestations for THAT story.

I know I have at least a couple of people regularly reading these. If there's something you'd like me to cover - like more of these dispelling popular misconceptions, or one of the things I've mentioned before as "I'll get to that another time" please let me know.

Just a minor note: To make the rules work, you have to word it like this:

Might Control
Enchantment — Aura (Rare)
Enchant creature with power 4 or greater.
~ may only target a creature an opponent controls.
You control enchanted creature.
Enchanted creature gets +2/+2.

The "enchant x" mechanic means that for the entire time the aura is enchanting something, it must follow that criteria. So if you play an "enchant creature opponent controls" and take control of that creature, the aura falls off.
Unnatural Growth 1UG
Sorcery (U)
Draw a card.
Put up to two land cards from your hand onto the battlefield.

Re: RattingRots - What if you activate this ability and then the library is shuffled. How do you cast it if you don't know where it is?

Token of Kaleth
Enchantment U
When Token of Kaleth enters the battlefield, choose a color.
You may spend mana as though it were mana of any color to cast spells with converted mana cost equal to the chosen number.
Kaleth sought to always have the correct tool for a particular job, no matter how niche that job might have been.

Psst, check the second page of Custom Card Contests & Games! Because of the daily contests, a lot of games fall down to there.

Re: void_nothing - I'd be down for some recountings of the interesting stories, like the one where Loki and Thor (and I believe someone else) travel to the hall of some giant and they have to complete these competitive tasks.

Cavern of Bells
Land R
: Add .
: Add one mana of any color a nonland permanent you control could produce.
The Nomads of Ikoso Vhra found the caves, one day, and noticed how it would echo the sounds they made. A few of them wondered how it would sound to ring a bell in that place.

"Why are numbers beautiful? It's like asking why is Beethoven's Ninth Symphony beautiful. If you don't see why, someone can't tell you. I know numbers are beautiful. If they aren't beautiful, nothing is."
― Paul Erdős

“I am, somehow, less interested in the weight and convolutions of Einstein’s brain than in the near certainty that people of equal talent have lived and died in cotton fields and sweatshops.”
― Stephen Jay Gould
