The DCC - April 1st, 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.)

3/1

Votes: void_nothing, RattingRots

I'm *pretty* sure the CR as it stands doesn't allow this to work, but I don't think it would need much changing:

Bant Decree 1UWG
Instant (U)
Choose two. You may choose the same mode twice. If you do, this spell costs 1 more to cast.

• Scry 2, then draw a card.
• Distribute two shield counters among creatures you control.
• Destroy target artifact or enchantment. If it was attached to anything, you gain 4 life.

Foul Foolfish UBR
Enchantment Creature — Fish Rogue (R)
When Foul Foolfish enters the battlefield or at the beginning of your upkeep, flip a coin twice. If you lose both flips, Foul Foolfish deals 3 damage to you and to itself. Otherwise, choose one that hasn't been chosen —
• Foul Foolfish deals 3 damage to target opponent.
• Target opponent discards three cards.
• Exile Foul Foolfish, then return it onto the battlefield under the control of target opponent.
An illusion so paradoxical that it shouldn't even exist.
3/3

Votes: bravelion83, void_nothing (I really like the flavor idea of this card. A strange traveler bearing a strange message . . . who just keeps arriving again and arriving again, bearing the same message each time)

Top three spots got no votes yesterday. That's wild. Bravelion was right that March has been an absolutely crazy month. It could still go in any direction. Also, I like the asymmetrical cards we've got today.

Skelholm, Artist of Old Ways
Legendary Creature - Viashino Citizen R
: Until end of turn, if a player would tap target permanent for mana, it produces twice as much of that mana instead.
, : Until end of turn, if target enchantment, instant, or sorcery would deal damage to a permanent or player, it deals double that damage to that permanent or player instead.

(HM: void_nothing, I love the abilities it but a 3/1 flying vigilance for 2 is scary)
