The DCC - March 19th, 2023

[bravelion83]

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.)

netn10 - I really like the design but I'm a bit worried about the logistics of having to differentiate between +1/+1 and stun counters. At least with +1/+1 and -1/-1 counters there is the annihilation SBA.

marioguy3 - I really like the elegance here but unfortunately a word is missing: "during its controller's untap step."

Levin - For the very bold mana cost.

I'm glad you didn't vote for my card bravelion83. Not a very powerful card.

A card doesn't necessarily need to be powerful to get my vote. Sure, that doesn't hurt, but other things come before that to me in this contest, and it's not a chance that I mentioned elegance while giving you that HM. Elegance is one of the most important factors to me, but again, that too is not the only one.

Rider of Tides 2GU
Creature — Merfolk Warrior (R)
When Rider of Tides enters the battlefield, if you cast it from your hand, you may have target creature an opponent controls get -2/-0, then Rider of Tides fights that creature.
1R: Rider of Tides gets +2/+0 until end of turn. Activate this ability only if Rider of Tides is attacking.

Votes: void_nothing, Rithaniel (I don't fully get the flavor here, but I love when cards are both color fixing and mana sinks at the same time. It's sort of like a modal card where the situations in which you want each mode are opposite, which is the best kind of modal card)

Construct Utopia 4W
Sorcery (R)
Create a 4/4 white Angel artifact creature token with flying. Then, if WUBRG was spent to cast this spell, if a creature you control has first strike, put a first strike counter on the token. Repeat this process for double strike, deathtouch, hexproof, indestructible, lifelink, menace, reach, trample, and vigilance.

I don't fully get the flavor here

Yeah, I started in one direction and then went back and tried to switch ideas at the last minute. The idea was to underline the idea of the Siresa as mobsters who enforce their own, selfish, set of laws with threats of violence, and the Crazed Intimidator is a guy who delivers on the threats of violence when the "laws" aren't obeyed. But the flavor doesn't explain this well enough.

Shift in Motivation
Sorcery R
Gain control of target creature not controlled by its owner.
"The ones who have already switched sides once are the most likely to switch sides again."

Target creature deals damage to itself equal to its toughness.
Overload 9rrr
For the rest of the cycle, I plan to reference the inspiration somewhere less obtrusive.
