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.)

Re: bravelion83 - Since the two ETB triggers check for the existence of an appropriate creature upon resolution, you can layer them so that you get both token when you only have one of the two creature types. Is that intended?

Thkouan
Legendary Creature - Spirit Artificer R
Companion — At least a third of the cards in your starting deck, rounded up, are noncreature artifacts and/or enchantments (If this card is your chosen companion, you may put it into your hand from outside the game for as a sorcery.)
Sacrifice any number of artifacts and/or enchantment cards with total mana value X: Counter target spell with mana value X.
, : Put an artifact or enchantment card from your hand onto the battlefield.
3/3

The intent is that if you controlled only one you get the other, the end point after the resolution being that you always have one and one. That's achieved by using intervening if clauses, that need to be true also as they would trigger. Thanks to the intervening if clauses checking on BOTH triggering and resolution, scenarios like the one you proposed shouldn't happen. You were probably thinking the check only happened on resolution, but that's not the case. For example, if you already control a Squirrel and you cast the Stone, only the first ability triggers, the second doesn't even trigger as you have no Vampires at this point. If it doesn't even trigger, it won't give you an additional Squirrel out of the Vampire you get from the first ability. This was the intent.
Heap of Rocks and Wood 2{R/G}
Artifact (R)
Heap of Rocks and Wood enters the battlefield tapped. When it does, add RG.
T: Add R or G.
Craft with another card with a mana ability 2RG (2RG, Exile this artifact, Exile another card with a mana ability from among permanents you control and/or cards in your graveyard: Return this card transformed under its owner's control. Craft only as a sorcery.)

//

Explorer's Cart
Artifact — Treasure Vehicle
Haste, trample
T: Add one mana of any color.
Explorer's Cart has crew X, where X is the mana value of the exiled card used to craft Explorer's Cart. (Tap any number of creatures you control with total power X or more: This Vehicle becomes an artifact creature until end of turn.)

Get to the Bottom WB
Sorcery (Common)
Debate an opponent. (To debate, a player bids permanents to tap and put a stun counter on. You start the bidding with a bid of 0. In turn order, each debating player may top the high bid. The bidding ends if the high bid stands.)
The winning player draws two cards. The losing player draws a card and loses 4 life.

Otixetl, Lost Benthisaur 2{W/U}{U/B}{G/U}
Legendary Creature - Dinosaur (R)
Companion - Your starting deck contains more land cards than nonland cards.
Whenever you play a land or cast a noncreature spell, target creature you control explores.
Whenever Otixetl deals combat damage to a player, you may discard any number of land cards, then draw that many cards. When you do, choose up to one target nonland permanent with mana value equal to or less than the number of cards discarded this way. Its owner puts it on the top or bottom of their library.
4/4
Psst, check the second page of Custom Card Contests & Games! Because of the daily contests, a lot of games fall down to there.

Every other day I posted cards with flavor from my huge table.
Xylomancer's Amulet / Xylomancer's Creation is from Pydora,
Single Currency / Fall of the Council is from Taqul,
Dwarven Mine / Hegrilt, the Sacred Ring is from Rodiragg,
Stone of the Wooden Alliance / Temple of the Wooden Alliance is from Makwag,
And finally, today's card, Desert Rose / Sandstorm Stone is from Galbanar.
That was done on purpose to show off more of my custom planes.
Desert Rose 2
Artifact (R)
1, T: Add two mana in any combination of different colors.
Craft with one or more cards that are each exactly two colors 2R (2R, Exile this artifact, Exile one or more cards that are each exactly two colors from among permanents you control and/or cards in your graveyard: Return this card transformed under its owner's control. Craft only as a sorcery.)

Sandstorm Stone
(R) Artifact
Sandstorm Stone enters the battlefield with two charge counters on it for each exiled card used to craft it.
X, Remove X charge counters from Sandstorm Stone: It deals X damage to each creature and planeswalker and 1 damage to each player for each permanent they control that has been dealt damage this way.
The shamans of the Great Desert of Galbanar can summon sandstorms at will by using magical stones.

After I'm done republishing my articles I want to reprise the series focusing it more on editing, wording, and templating. Suggest potential future article topics here.

"Why are numbers beautiful? It's like asking why is Beethoven's Ninth Symphony beautiful. If you don't see why, someone can't tell you. I know numbers are beautiful. If they aren't beautiful, nothing is."
― Paul Erdős

“I am, somehow, less interested in the weight and convolutions of Einstein’s brain than in the near certainty that people of equal talent have lived and died in cotton fields and sweatshops.”
