The DCC - November 2nd, 2023

[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.)

"?" is "Pay the amount that the condition says you should. Maybe the card could have worked with a simple X, but I'm not sure how it could have been worded.

Apex One, the Genesis G
Legendary Creature - Dinosaur (Rare)
Evolve
Whenever a creature causes Apex One to evolve, if that creature has flying, put a flying counter on Apex One. The same is true for first strike, double strike, deathtouch, haste, hexproof, indestructible, lifelink, menace, reach, and vigilance.
0/1

Explore the Wastelands 1CG
Sorcery (U)
Search your library for up to one basic land card and/or a card named Wastes, then put them onto the battlefield tapped.
"Young explorer, you want to learn about the mythic third continent of our world? Yes, it does actually exist, every shaman can sense it, but nobody who tried to go there has ever come back. What makes you think you're different from them?"
—Zadjetz, Lithian shaman

This is the last card in a two-month sequence containing three different nested cycles alternating every other day. I want to explain the logic behind it now that it's over, but I don't have the time right now to write it out. Look for such a post from me in the discussion thread very soon. Tomorrow a period of random cards will start, but other cycles will come for sure.

Discover the Portal BG
Sorcery (R)
Search your library for two cards and exile them. Put any basic land cards from among them into your hand. Then, shuffle and put the rest on top of your library in any order. You lose 2 life.

Votes: netn10, RattingRots

Argynn, Time Eater
Legendary Creature - Slug M

You may cast spells with mana value 3 or less from among cards exiled with Argynn, and you may spend mana as though it were mana of any color to cast those spells.

I believe the new host starting tomorrow should be @Rithaniel. I know for sure that I'm hosting December, both here and in the MCC.

Crystal Processor 3
Artifact Creature — Construct (R)
If only mana of a single color was spent to cast Crystal Processor, it enters the battlefield with three +1/+1 counters on it.
T: If Crystal Processor has no +1/+1 counters on it, put a +1/+1 counter on it.
T, Remove a +1/+1 counter from Crystal Processor: Add one mana of any color.
0/1

EDIT - I made a mistake in the 4-color cycle

While putting together the post to explain the logic behind my 4-color cycle, I just realize I made a mistake. I repeated the same combination five times, and five combinations are missing. I also realized two of the cards were swapped but that doesn't alter the balance of the cycle. I have already a card to post tomorrow, but then I will post the five missing combinations every other day to finish the cycle, alternating them with random cards, and I will actually finish the cycle on November 12th. I'm going to wait until the actual end of the cycle to explain the logic behind it, so don't expect my explanation post until then. Sorry.

Lethargy 1U
Enchantment - Aura (C)
Enchant Creature
When ~ enters the battlefield, tap enchanted creature.

Artifact (Rare)
Imprint - When Hex Amulet enters the battlefield, exile target enchantment.
2BB, T: Create a token that's a copy of an enchantment card exiled with Hex Amulet, except it's an Aura and a Curse. It gains "enchant player" and "At the beginning of enchanted player's upkeep, they lose 1 life."

Onakke Disassembler 3R
Creature - Ogre Spirit Artificer (U)
When Onakke Disassembler enters the battlefield, exile up to one target artifact.
T, Return a card exiled with Onakke Disassembler to its owner's hand: The next artifact spell you cast this turn costs X less to cast, where X is the returned card's mana value.

Yeah, congrats Raptorchan! This was a fun month, as usual.

Fate of the Undying
