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'm gonna go get some sleep.

Edit: I failed to get said sleep.

Fugueform

Search your library for up to three creature cards and reveal them. If the power of the first plus the toughness of the second plus the mana value of the third is 7 or less, put those cards onto the battlefield. Otherwise put them into your hand. Then shuffle.
Weird Mana Costs
Show

So, a quick explanation for the mana costs of this series of instants and sorceries I've been making.

So, the base idea is that these are four-colored cards, which pick one of their four colors, and can be cast by any trio of colors from within that quartet which contains that one color. So, for Fugueform, the quartet is non-, the "fixed color" is , and so it needs to be able to be cast with , or , or . One of the flip sides of this is that either I have to add a third hybrid mana, or I have to allow it to be cast for two colors, too. I decided to go with the latter. Fugueform, for example, can be cast with .

So, there are a lot of mana costs that spawn from this system. There are five quartets to choose from, and for each of them, there are four colors that could be "fixed," and then, for each of those, there are three options to pick for the second color in the "two colors" option. That's a total of 60 mana costs.

Now, I'm having a lot of fun making these cards, but 60 is a bit much, so I've decided to stop at 10. However, I wanted a show a few different ways that these mana costs can be constructed, and so the cycle displays a lot of different splits. Still, in it, each quartet of colors appears on two cards, each trio of colors appears on three distinct cards, each pair appears on one card, and each single color is "fixed" for two cards. The full list is below, if you're curious.

Amazing explanation, I am also playing with colors in these days in a way that I will explain when I'm finished, but your focus on color combinations and color asymmetry inspires me to explore more in that space, and more will come from me too.
