The DCC - August 4th, 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.)

Notes of the Day

---

I've been making these multicolor cycles based on color over the last few weeks. Each one has been a cycle of five cards, but instead of cycles like "all ally colored pairs" or "all wedges," I've been going wild with the combinations.

*proobably* the worst mechanic I ever designed, but it was like an earworm.

Planar Plane 3UU
Artifact — Vehicle (Un-MR)
Planar Plane can't be blocked.
Whenever Planar Plane deals combat damage to a player, search that player's library for a creature card and put it on the battlefield under your control. Then that player shuffles.
Led Crew 4/2 (Tap any number of creatures you control with total power 4 or more, remove two loyalty counters from among planeswalkers you control: This Vehicle becomes an artifact creature until end of turn.)
Everyone has a price. Especially when it comes to interdimensional holidays.
1/1

Demon-Tendon Noose 2B
Artifact (U)
At the beginning of each end step, if a creature died this turn, surveil 1 and each opponent loses 1 life.
1B, T, Sacrifice a creature: Target creature gets -3/-3 until end of turn.

They wished for an epic fate, but not the decisiveness to make it count.

HM: Raptorchan (I really like the idea, but as is, I don't think it would work in the rules, as the "sac to gain 3 life" ability isn't inherently tied to the Food artifact subtype in the same way the mana abilities of the five basic lands are. Turning something into a Food does NOT give it that ability automatically.)

Hungry Shark 2U
Creature — Shark (R)
Hungry Shark gets +1/+1 for each creature card in your graveyard.
2B, T: Mill cards until you mill a creature card. When you do, destroy target creature an opponent controls with mana value equal to or less than the number of cards milled this way. Activate only as a sorcery.
2G, T: Hungry Shark deals damage equal to its power to target creature you don't control.
1/1

Presence of Ruin
Enchantment R
At the beginning of your upkeep, mill three cards and you gain 3 life.
Whenever a land card is put into your graveyard from anywhere, you may pay . When you do, return that card to the battlefield tapped.

Cramped Quarters BB
Instant (R)
Target player chooses up to three creatures they control, then sacrifices the rest.

Gives a new meaning to too many cooks in the kitchen.
