The DCC - February 21st, 2023

[void_nothing]

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.)

I'll bet battle is something like this:

Invasion of Lorwyn 2G
Battle (Common)
(When this enters the battlefield, choose an opponent and a side. It starts at 0. Tap an untapped creature you control: Advance your side. Any player may activate this ability during their turn.)
Whenever a player advance Lorwyn, they gain 3 life. At 3, sacrifice Invasion of Lorwyn and they draw a card.
Whenever a player advance Phyrexia, they untap a land. At 3, sacrifice Invasion of Lorwyn they draw a card.
Lorwyn 3 2 1 0 1 2 3 Phyrexia

Votes: bravelion83, Riria

Note: I actually tend to avoid voting for cards that use mechanics from the most recent sets of MtG, unless the mechanic or the specific card really speaks to me.

Jumera Fieldhand
Creature - Elf Peasant R

Rithaniel - I honestly see no U in the activated ability, but I still voted for your card because I liked the design.

Riria - I just didn't want to give you a 2/2 first strike with additional upside for just one mana or even for free, that's why I put the two generic mana in the mana cost. Honestly, it already felt pushed to me at two mana and 4 life. I think some playtest would be needed to see what's the appropriate cost.
Also, your card that's up for voting today is missing rarity, and that's essentially the whole reason why I didn't vote for it. I guess I'll give you a HM.

netn10 - Hard to vote for a battle when we don't even know what they do yet.

marioguy3 - I think all the pairs from MOM that we've been shown so far are all two characters from the same plane, which these are not. I see why you put these specific two together though: Tibalt is dead as of ONE and Squee is no longer immortal so now he also has to face death.

Ravenous Oilsucker 3BR
Creature — Phyrexian Vampire (R)
Ravenous Oilsucker enters the battlefield with four oil counters on it.
Ravenous Oilsucker gets +1/+0 for each oil counter on it.
2{BP}, Sacrifice a Blood: Each opponent loses 1 life, then put an oil counter on Ravenous Oilsucker. ({BP} can be paid with B or 2 life.)
{RP}, Remove two oil counters from Ravenous Oilsucker: Create a Blood token. ({RP} can be paid with R or 2 life. A Blood token is an artifact with "1, T, Discard a card, Sacrifice this artifact: Draw a card.")
0/4

thanks to the various people who run this game but it just ain't a satisfying format, the votes and their rationale are just one big window into madness, eg, bravelion above explicitly punishing netn10 for trying something experimental
