DCC - January 2, 2020

[Flatline]

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

---

Congrats to RattingRots, who squeaks out a victory despite not posting a card on the last day.
On another note, this month was a real slog for me. My mind has just not been into card design lately. Because of this, I'm planning on taking an extended break from the contests. I hate to leave void as the only one posting the DCC though. Perhaps someone else would like to take my spot in February? I may have an unexpected burst of creativity and change my mind, but I doubt it. Either way, I'm sure I'll be back sooner or later, and I'm sure I'll be around if anyone needs to contact me for any reason. In the meantime, please keep my beloved DCC alive.

Perhaps someone else would like to take my spot in February?

[mention]Flatline[/mention] I can do it. Now that I'm unemployed I can be back to hosting this too as I once did. In February I'd certainly be able to do it. Then we'll see. If you remember, I left the host rotation because I had got a job in the meantime. Now I don't have such "problems" anymore...

Aerial Flux 3WU
Sorcery(R)
Draw a card. Creatures you control get +X/+X and gain flying until end of turn, where X is the number of cards you've drawn this turn.

I could help with the DCC in February, but I've been inconsistent with posting lately. I might kick up the consistency once college starts up again, though I can't say I'm sure on that.

Watching Summit
Land U
Whenever a creature attacks you, if you control no creatures, Watching Summit becomes a 3/3 red Giant creature until end of turn. It's still a land.

"The unwise think we are undefended. That just because we have no armies, this means we are vulnerable. Let the fools come. Let them experience the mountain land for themselves."
—Smlurrydur, Dwarven King

Day two of card submissions from Alternity, a retro sifi flavored custom set with a "choose your own adventure" theme. (In fact, that's the tagline.) The art, the card names, and even the flavor text are all from vintage science fiction sources such as novels, magazines, posters, and film.
