The DCC - December 10th, 2023

[bravelion83]

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

Less delayed than I thought after all. Tomorrow's thread should be posted regularly, or at least I hope...

Votes: Rithaniel, Ink-Treader

Fierceful Return 3B
Sorcery (U)
Kicker 1R
Return target creature card from your graveyard to the battlefield. That creature enters the battlefield with a finality counter on it unless Fierceful Return was kicked. Then if Fierceful Return was kicked, that creature gains haste. (If a creature with a finality counter on it would die, exile it instead.)

Vote: bravelion83 (though I don't think this needs to be rare), Rithaniel

Mental Rejuvenation 2CU
Sorcery (R)
There is an additional beginning phase after the current phase. (The beginning phase includes the untap, upkeep, and draw steps.)
Ah, to be young again.

Rainhorn Kelpie GU
Creature - Elk Beast (Common)
Trample
Tuner - Rainhorn Kelpie's power is equal to the consecutive mana value among nonland permanents you control.
Ravnica already boasted a richly diverse fauna, but the emergence of the Omenpaths infused it with newfound intrigue.

Votes: Ink-Treader, Rithaniel

Order of Evangela 4WW
Legendary Creature - Human Knight (R)
Vigilance
Whenever you put a card into your hand after revealing and searching for it, you may cast that card by paying X rather than its mana cost, where X is half its mana value, rounded up.
1UB: Until end of turn, if target creature would deal combat damage, prevent that damage. When damage is prevented this way, that creature's controller searches their library for any number of cards with mana value 1 or greater and total mana value equal to or less than that damage, reveals them, puts them into their hand, then shuffles.
5/5

Thunderous Applause XRRR
Sorcery (R)
Convoke (Your creatures can help cast this spell. Each creature you tap while casting this spell pays for 1 or one mana of that creature's color.)
Spectacle XR (You may cast this spell for its spectacle cost rather than its mana cost if an opponent lost life this turn.)
Thunderous Applause deals X damage to each creature, each planeswalker, and each player.

Call By My Name R
Enchantment (Rare)
Whenever you cast a spell you don't own, create a 2/1 black Pirate creature token with menace and a treasure token.
"With cutlasses sharp and hearts so bold,
We seek the loot, the tales foretold.
In shadows deep, where legends unfold,
The cavern's secrets, a fortune untold."

Mind Splay
Sorcery M
Exile target player's graveyard and the top twenty cards of their library. You may play lands and cast spells from among the exiled cards for as long as they remain exiled. If you cast a spell this way, you may spend mana as though it were mana of any color to cast it.
Skip your draw step for the rest of the game.
