The DCC - May 13th, 2023

[Rithaniel]

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.)

bravelion83, netn10

re:netn10's card- (of course part of the mirror theme between lorwyn and shadowmoor was some cards in the former cared about becoming tapped and some in the latter liked becoming untapped- i like how your card quietly evokes this. i sure did like those sets, despite mechanical messiness)

Votes: RattingRots, void_nothing

Thrill Seeker 1RR
Creature — Goblin Warrior (R)
Haste
Whenever Thrill Seeker attacks, exile up to one target instant or sorcery card from your graveyard. You may cast that card this turn. If a spell cast this way would be put into a graveyard, exile it instead.
"If you haven't done anything like this before, then you haven't been alive!"

(X was meant to be the mana value of the exiled card, I just realized I completely forgot to type that in oops)

Whenever an Advisor enters the battlefield under your control, put a secure counter on SCP Foundation.

Off-topic note about Thrill Seeker

Show

I'm a huge ESC fan (Eurovision Song Contest), and the 2023 edition is going on right now. The finals are tonight. Since a few years ago, they have decided to let Australia participate despite not being neither geographically nor politically a part of Europe just because of the huge fanbase that the contest has there. Out of all the 37 participating songs this year, the Australian one is my absolute favorite, the one I wish it will win but never will, closely followed by the Moldavian one (which has already heavily influenced one of the planes in my ongoing plan all by itself, it's in Romanian if you're wondering and yes, I know what it says because I've read the translation) and the Norwegian one (which also has a little influence on that same plane but way less than the Moldavian one).

The Austrialian song, my favorite in the contest, is called "Promise" and is by a band called Voyager which I had never heard before. That song has already helped me immensely in a couple very difficult personal moments in the last couple months (the songs for the ESC are revealed way before the actual contest). I have it actually playing in my headphones right now, and the card that's up for voting today, Thrill Seeker, has been designed as a top-down card from the flavor text I've put on it, which is actually a quote of that song's lyrics, you can hear it in the first verse right towards the very beginning of the song. I will absolutely vote for it tonight in the finals, I owe it to them. And I also felt I owed them a custom card here, and that's what Thrill Seeker is meant to be.

Ruby Ignition 2RRR
Enchantment — Aura (R)
Hexproof
Enchant creature you control
As Ruby Ignition enters the battlefield, remove all counters from enchanted creature, then put X loyalty counters on it, where X is its mana value.
Enchanted creature becomes a red planeswalker with "+1: This planeswalker deals 1 damage to any target", "-1: Add R. Until end of turn, you don't lose this mana as steps and phases end", and "-8: Each player discards their hand, then draws that many cards plus one."

Domed Sky
Land (R)
Other lands you control have indestructible.
If an effect would have you discard a card, you may sacrifice Domed Sky instead.
T: Add C.

Behold a Masterpiece
Instant (Rare)
Exile target creature you don't control. Its controller creates treasure tokens equal to its mana cost.

Kreire, God of Creation
Legendary Creature - Dragon God
Flying, Indestructable
At the beginning of your upkeep, you may exile the top X cards of your library, where X is the amount of +1/+1 counters on creatures you control. You may play lands and cast exiled this way without paying their mana costs. If you do, Kreire, God of Creation loses indestructable until end of turn.
"In the Outer Worlds, it sleeps, and when it wakes, nothing will be the same."

Wanderer of Gold and Ice
Snow Creature - Turtle Nomad U
When Wanderer of Gold and Ice enters the battlefield, search your library for a basic land card, reveal it, and put it into your hand. Then shuffle.
: Put an ice counter on Wanderer of Gold and Ice. Then exile it if it has three or more ice counters on it. Return it to the battlefield and the beginning of the next end step.
Ice counters stay on Wanderer of Gold and Ice as it moves between exile and the battlefield.
4/4
