The DCC - November 19, 2019

[void_nothing]

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.)

RattingRots - Missing rarity costs you my vote. I'm sorry. I really like the card and I would have totally voted for it if it had a rarity.

Ok, I've missed a day. I can't write what's right now in my head, but you can probably imagine it... I hope it doesn't cost me an eventual final victory... Anyway, this was the card I meant to post for yesterday. We'll start again from here. I'll keep exploring the design space of this ability for several days... I've discovered there are so many things to do with it that I'm seriously thinking about putting it in one of the many custom sets that I have in mind or I'm already designing!

Student of Currents 3U
Creature — Merfolk Wizard (R)
Intensify 1U (You may pay an additional 1U as you activate any of this permanent's activated abilities.)
1U, T: Draw a card. Then discard a card unless this ability was intensified.
U, T: Target creature you control gains flying until end of turn. If this ability was intensified, instead that creature can't be blocked this turn.
"Water and air are both fluids, so the same laws governing currents apply to both of them."
2/3

Atmospheric Inversion 1U
Instant (U)
Each creature with flying loses flying until end of turn. All other creatures gain flying.
Draw a card.

(This weather-related card is partly inspired by marioguy3's earlier submission of The Polar Vortex. Atmospheric inversions are a real phenomenon, and they're important in controlling air pollution and tornadoes, among other thing.)

Cracks in the Pavement, 1bb
Enchantment - Aura (U)
Enchant land you don't control
Whenever enchanted land becomes tapped, its controller taps all creatures they control and you create a 1/1 black Horror creature.

Votes: Henlock, void_nothing

Tin Soldier 1W
Artifact Creature - Soldier (Uncommon)
Whenever Tin Soldier is dealt damage by a red source, destroy it.
The fires of love leaving nothing but a smiling soldier, melted in the shape of a little tin heart.
2/4

slimytrout, voidnothing

A World on the Edge 2BB
Sorcery (mythic)
For each creature, create an Aura enchantment token named Brink of Disaster with "Enchant creature or land" and "When enchanted permanent becomes tapped, destroy it" and attach it to that creature.
Everything comes to an end sooner or later.

I'm assuming this card is going in your color/colorless matters set. If so it's kind of interesting that in some cases you won't want to use the mana of any color ability. If this isn't your intent I believe you could do "mana of any type" - allowing the player to both gain life and use the land for colorless mana.

Reflective Drake 3UU
Creature - Drake (U)
Flying
When ~ enters the battlefield, mimic (Create a creature token that's a copy of target creature, except it's a 1/1
2/2

slimytrout, Rithaniel

Swoop the Grandstand 3b
Instant (u)
Spectacle 2b
Swoop the Grandstand costs less to cast if an opponent has been dealt damage by a Faerie this turn.
Create two 1/1 black Faerie creature tokens with flying. Lose 2 life.

You picked up on it. The intention is to have a bit of tension between the mechanics of the set and that particular card, but if that card were used outside of the set, that tension might not exist.

I'm not 100% of the flavor of the design. Like, I don't know what Yosina necessarily is, so that might change.

Madflame Wisp
Creature - Elemental U
Flying
: Target creature attacks this turn if able.
: Regenerate Madflame Wisp.
A wild spirit, it's very presence calls out to the animal side of any mind.

Concentrating Thief 1U

Islandwalk

As a graduate with a specialization in Environmental Chemistry, you don't need to explain that to me! I know all of that very well, and I confirm all of that is there's any need for that. I'm convinced the second sentence on that card should be "Each other creature gains flying." But it doesn't matter, take my vote anyway. And actually, you just gave me an idea for another custom plane... Yes, that will become my sixth plane that will need a ninth set and an eighth story in my story series.

Rakdos Knifethrower 2R
Creature — Human (U)
Intensify 3B (You may pay an additional 3B as you activate any of this permanent's activated abilities.)
R, T: Rakdos Knifethrower deals 1 damage to target opponent. If this ability was intensified, that player discards a card.
"And now for my next trick I need a member of the audience up here on stage! Nothing too dangerous will happen to you! The worst that can happen is that I unwillingly miss my aim and hit your head, but that won't happen! And your blood will be thoroughly cleaned right afterwards..."

(there's already a card from Urza's something called Brink of Disaster but I won't hold that against an interesting card idea)

Jurhatta, the Emboldened, 2rr
Legendary Creature - Yeti (R)
Mountainwalk
Whenever a creature you control attacks, choose one:
- Manifest a card from your hand.
- Target creature gets +X/+0 until end of turn, where X is the number of face-down creatures on the battlefield.

Hexcaster B

The harsh skies of Kaldheim are home to many fierce predators, but none as ingenious as the Frostflame Hawks

Betray the Traitorous 3RW
