DCC - August 12, 2019

[Flatline]

The DCC: 08/12/19

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

Does anybody talk to Indighost? The DCC just doesn't feel right without him. I tried messaging him on MTGS, but I got no response.

Some thoughts on age......

SPOILER

Show

Hide

-I hate trying to format level up cards, and age would have a similar format. I did my best to make it look as appealing as possible.
-I'm taking the "sacrifice after 6" wording from Sagas. Like sagas my example card from today would die as soon as the 6th age counter was placed on it. So it would only get 2 attacks with double strike.
-I want Age to read "At the beginning of you upkeep, put an age counter on this creature. It dies of old age after 6", but because this is submitted for voting, I decided to keep it as simple as possible. I'd prefer to word the other way for flavor, mechanical, and word efficiency reasons. I picture cards that trigger an effect when they (or another creature) die of old age.

Swiftblade Sentry 1w
Creature — Human Soldier (C)
Age 6 (At the beginning of your
upkeep, put an age counter on this
creature. Sacrifice after 6.) [2/1]
<Age 2—3> First strike [2/1]
<Age 4—6> Double strike [2/1]

There's some good stuff this round.

Center of Eternity 2UU
Enchantment R
If one or more cards would be put on the top or bottom of your library, you may put those cards on the top or bottom of your library instead.
All it takes is the addition of a single point. Then the distant past and the distant future become one and the same.

marioguy3 - really loved ability 1. Unfortunately, ability 2 is so overpowered that you're almost always going to play for that effect, and actually having a planeswalker stick afterwards is a secondary concern. Also I think putting a creature on the bottom of your opponent's library is outside of what blue should do even in non-OP circumstances.

Argivian Study 1W
Sorcery (U)
Return up to one target artifact and up to one target enchantment from your graveyard to your hand.

Target creature you control gets +X/+X where X is
equal to the number of artifacts in your graveyard.
All creatures able to block it this turn do so.
