The DCC - May 15th, 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

Went to go see the new Planet of the Apes movie today. It was good, but those movies have kinda become formulaic.

You've already met Alfred, my Abzan-colored loxodon hermit archaeologist planeswalker. It's him in one of his solitary explorations in the flavor here. I've already told his backstory: he's been born in a farm and spent there all his early life and adolescence but he never liked farming life, so as soon as he can he leaves the farm and moves to the big city, where he starts experiencing social anxiety up to the point that he has to abandon the city, and it's at this point that he decides to become a hermit to escape his social anxiety, and archaeology has always been one of his passions, so why not put those together, explore archaeological sites by himself, and live in his mental image of what the world must have looked like when those weren't ruins but alive civilizations? So that's exactly what he does. His spark will ignite in one of his solitary explorations, but at this point he doesn't even know he has a planeswalker spark. Now that the Eurovision Song Contest is over, I can tell you all what was the inspiration for Alfred's backstory (I already had the character before but not his backstory): the Croatian entry "Rim Tim Tagi Dim" by Baby Lasagna, who ended up winning the televote and achieving second place in the final standings, marking the best result ever for his country in the ESC. I just love that song.

When Extinction Relic enters the battlefield, target creature gets -2/-2 until end of turn.
2BB, T, Exile Extinction Relic: Destroy all creatures.
"These carved inscriptions suggest some kind of mass extinction must have occurred. I wonder what might have caused it."

Until end of turn, lands you control become 2/2 Elemental Warrior creatures that are still lands.

The non-G faction of Kolyfar are the Stormwind, rather obviously based on flying creatures (and the non-flying creature interact with the flying ones by buffing them, and such), but with two subthemes: a storm-like mechanic tied to flying somehow to go on spells (I still have to come up with their exact faction mechanic but this is what I'd like it to be), and a small sacrifice subtheme to interact with other factions that care about the graveyard like the Serlaks and the Wicked Pride. Flavorfully, the Stormwind have total control of the sky: they can influence (but not completely control) the weather, they transport goods all over the plane by air, etc... If something involves the sky in any way, the Stormwind are involved in it for sure.

Stormwind Revelry {U/B}
Sorcery (R)
Spree (Choose one or more additional costs.)
+ 2 — Until end of turn, whenever a creature with flying you control deals combat damage to a player, draw a card.
+ {W/U} — Create a 2/2 blue Bird creature token with flying.
+ UB — Until end of turn, creatures you control get +1/+1 and gain flying and creatures your opponents control get -1/-1 and lose flying.
+ {B/R} — Creatures you control gain haste until end of turn. Draw a card.

Battleraver's Credo 2B
Enchantment (U)
You Got Served — Whenever a creature you control dies, put a +1/+1 on target creature you control. If this is the second time this ability has resolved this turn, you also draw a card and you lose 1 life.

Mention of four-color cards in the discussion thread led to this.

Darkglass Presence
Enchantment R
When Darkglass Presence enters the battlefield and at the beginning of your upkeep, choose a creature card name and then choose one—

• Players can't cast spells with the chosen name until the beginning of your next upkeep.
• Put a stun counter on target tapped creature with the chosen name.
• Remove all counters from each creature with the chosen name.
• Darkglass Presence deals 3 damage to each creature with the chosen name.
