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



Let's see how to mathematically express the relative strength of a weak acid or base. Let's take a weak acid, for example hypochlorous acid (HClO) and write its dissociation according to Brönsted and Lowry:
HClO + H2O <=> ClO- + H3O+
Let's consider the molar concentrations of everything except the solvent (because the concentration of the solvent in itself is constant) at the point of equilibrium, and let's write the product of all products over the product of all reagents except for the solvent:
ka = [ClO-] ∙ [H3O+] / [HClO]
The result is a constant, different for each substance, written as "ka" and called "constant of acid dissociation" (as usual, I hope that's the actual English name, I just translate literally from Italian). The higher it is, the strongest the acid is. The lower it is the weaker the acid is. For strong acids, that dissociate completely, the denominator would be zero at equilibrium, so you cannot write the ka of a strong acid. Conventionally, the ka of a strong acid is considered infinite.
We can do the same with a weak base and obtain its kb ("constant of basic dissociation"). For example, let's take ammonia:
NH3 + H2O <=> NH4+ + OH-
kb = [NH4+] ∙ [OH-] / [NH3]
All the same reasoning applies: the higher the kb, the stronger the base, and the kb of a strong base is considered infinite.
There are long tables of values of ka and kb for different acid and bases.

All Thanks To You
Enchantment (R)
Share the blame -- As you cast your first spell each turn, you may play a mana ability of a permanent you do not control to pay for its costs. Unspent mana produced this way empties from your mana pool.
