DCC - October 3, 2019

[Flatline]

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.)

Congratulations for the victory! I'll gladly take the second place, it's still my best result ever except for a tied victory years ago. Next step: win again, this time by myself! I was close this month... but I'm sure the right time for that will come eventually! In the meantime, congratulations again!

Isn't that just what real friends should always do? And think that we don't even know in person! Again, thank you very much. I see the story continues both in your card that's up for voting today (which by the way I really like a lot, and you've anticipated me posting it in some form if not identical) and in the one I'm posting here today... I like that!

D'OH! That's why I should always remember to check the names! I don't know the ones from sets that old out of my memory. I didn't even know what Magic was at that time!

Ok, let's move on to today's card now.

Another very personal card from me. This has been inspired by a real life experience I've had yesterday night. For once, I was the one speaking words very similar to this flavor text.

Loyal Leonin WU
Creature — Cat (U)
When Loyal Leonin enters the battlefield, you may choose an Aura enchanting another permanent you control. If that Aura could enchant Loyal Leonin, attach it to Loyal Leonin.
"Free yourself of the weights you bring within. Just let them out and give them to me. I can carry them. I have broad shoulders, forged by years of illusions and delusions. You know you can trust me. Am I not your friend?"

RattingRots and Flatline - same reason, perfectly fine cards but I'm not a big fan of stealing your opponents' stuff.
Sagharri - I think it needs to be Izzet. Maybe have it cost UR and bring the damage up to 3?
Henlock - I laughed as I read the card. Very good humor.

Manage Information 1{W/U}
Sorcery(U)
If W was spent to cast Manage Information, each player draws a card. If U was spent to cast Manage Information, you draw a card. (Do both if WU was spent.)
Knowledge is something to be shared or kept hidden, depending on the specific situation you find yourself in.

I think the "you" before "draw a card" really helps for clarity, that's why it's there. Yes, according to usual templating rules, it should not be there.

bravelion83 - Like the idea, but I think 0/5 as the statline makes it too good if you put a good aura on it, and not good enough if you can't find one.

Why do anglerfish-based cards have to be sinister and evil? The anglerfish has been slandered long enough!

Wizened Angler 2U
Creature - Fish (U)
Defender
Whenever ~ blocks, draw a card.
