The DCC - May 6th, 2024

[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 tothe 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

---

So, for my birthday, my sister made me an apple crisp, which is a huge, apple-filled pastry-dessert-thing. It was meant to last and provide dessert for many days. It lasted a grand total of two.

Valdhar is another planeswalker from my big table. He's a half-dragon from a plane called Rodiragg, inspired by Norse and Nordic European environments and stories but explicitly NOT Norse mythology (that's Kaldheim, and that was also the Viking custom set that I and Ryder were working on privately and that was killed by the announcement of Kaldheim, a real Viking set). Valdhar's special planeswalker power is breathing and spitting fire, something that he's able to do thanks to his dragon half. He will be one of the protagonists of the story associated with the custom set taking place there, together with his human planebound best friend Brunn, who you have already unknowingly met months ago in another DCC submission of mine. This card is from BEFORE Valdhar's ignition, when he was just exploiting his natural powers as a simple ordinary pyromancer. His color identity is monored, and just like other monored characters, he has big problems with authority and people who want to tell him what to do. He wants to burn, and to have the freedom to burn whoever and whatever he wants, at any time he wants.

Spread the Fire 1R
Instant (U)
If RR was spent to cast this spell, it can't be countered.
Spread the Fire deals 3 damage to any target.
"I don't need any explanations! I already know what I'm doing! Just let me do it!"

Celebratrix 2
Artifact Creature – Golem (U)
Barhome (This creature can't attack unless defending player controls a Bar. When you control no Bars, sacrifice this creature.)
They say the celebratix was created by a mad scientist and that it feeds off the energy of parties.
4/1

Falling petals dance - Equip B. Activate this ability only if a creature died this turn.

Observance of Clear Skies
Enchantment C
Sacrifice Observance of Clear Skies: Remove target attacking creature from combat. Put a stun counter on it.
Reprise (You may cast this from your graveyard by exiling three enchantment, instant, and/or sorcery cards from your graveyard in addition to paying its other costs.)
