The DCC - March 27th, 2024

[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

---

As many of you might already know, I'm a high school teacher (chemistry) but currently unemployed. Maybe someday I'll be back in a real classroom, but yesterday I sure received some training... A virtue a teacher has to strive to have is patience. Not every student in the class understands things at the same pace, some are naturally faster or slower. The latter ones need you, as their teacher, to put in the time and effort to explain again to them what they haven't understood the first time, possibly using different approaches, metaphors, etc... and if they still don't understand, explain them again, and again, and again, until they finally understand. The faster learners in the class might get bored in the meantime, but the slower ones must understand too, it's just their right. I, as a teacher, have to go at the slowest student's pace, while making sure the faster ones don't get too bored at the same time. It's not easy, but I've done it for years by now. Yesterday I did it again. It's my job as a professional teacher to explain things again and again until everybody understands, and it's only when that happens that I will have done my job properly. So thank you, @haywire, for the training you've given me in the MCC discussion thread yesterday. You gave me the chance to train the real life skills that I need to do my real life job should I one day (hopefully) be back in a classroom. And don't be afraid, you or anybody else, to make me further questions if there are still things you don't understand, and this applies to real life too. As I always tell my students: don't be afraid to ask, because there are no stupid questions. A question is just a sign that you haven't understood something, and it's my job to make you understand. If you haven't understood something, it's my fault for not explaining it well, not yours. I get paid to make you understand. And all of this applies here too, except for the part where I get paid of course...

I designed this card a few days ago, intentionally and stubbornly trying again to go outside the box... Let's see how spectacularly I fail yet another time...

Code-Secured Coinsafe 3UU
Artifact (R)
As Code-Secured Coinsafe enters the battlefield, secretly choose a number between 1 and 7.
At the beginning of your draw step, draw an additional card.
At the beginning of your upkeep, an opponent guesses a number between 1 and 7, then you reveal the last chosen number. If they're the same number, exile Code-Secured Coinsafe. Otherwise, secretly choose a number between 1 and 7 that hasn't been chosen yet.

Create two 1/1 colorless Guest creature tokens and a Libation token. (It's an artifact with "2, T, Sacrifice this artifact: Put a +1/+1 counter on target creature. It becomes euphoric. Activate only as a sorcery.)
It's a breach of social contract not to bring a housewarming gift to a party.
