The DCC - April 2nd, 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.)

Notes of the Day

---

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.

Don't worry, more will come, at least from me. I've got a whole 30-card cycle planned, two thirds of which asymmetric, and you've all just seen the beginning of it, 4 cards so far I believe.

Anyway, back to business. It's the 2nd, which as always means we have a winner and we will have a new host starting tomorrow. I believe that host will be void_nothing @Rithaniel and I will host again in June. I have no idea if the thread posting time will change, but I assume not. EDIT - I got the rotation wrong and I even had gone to check specifically.... perfect way to end my hosting month... Yes, Rithaniel hosted January, so it's his turn in April. Sorry for the confusion.

As for the competition, yes, it was an absolutely crazy month. A wild ride! I mean, just check out the final standings below! The top five players are in the span of 7 points. In the end, I managed to take the second place but not even the extra points if I had won today would have helped. With one more vote, it would have been a daily tie with RattingRots so I still would have ended 1 point short. Which brings me to say, congratulations to our winner for March: @netn10. I can remember them winning several times in the last months, may it be even the third month in a row? If so, that's just crazy!

See you all in June!

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)

HM for Jafaaf. I'm easily won over by strange mana combinations, and this is a style of combination I haven't even touched yet, but I don't think there's enough justification for these colors.

Rharmarr Symbolstone
Artifact U
, : Add , , or .
: Until end of turn, target land becomes a 4/4 green and white Elemental creature with vigilance and trample. It's still a land.
