The DCC - April 2nd, 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

---

Last day of me hosting, tomorrow void_nothing will take over.

We've both won! Actually, @netn10 won the March DCC, but with exactly 83 points! It almost looks like it was planned, and I personally ended up making one of my best performances ever in the DCC, so I'm absolutely fine with this ending. Congratulations, netn10!

But most of all, I can't believe what I did this month. I've publicly revealed my depression. I've publicly talked about Vukanat more than I've ever done before, introducing all the main characters from my first story and telling more things about them and their story than I had ever done before (there are still a lot of things I haven't told you though). I've also introduced Alfred to you, telling you his backstory. I've mentioned other planes from my table, like Rojebaix for example, and made cards about them, which is not new to me, what's new is that I've done all those things publicly. I think I've opened myself to you all at a personal level like I had never done before, and I didn't expect all of that would have happened at the beginning of the month. But I know one thing for sure: I regret nothing of what I've done this month. Nothing! In my life by now I've come to believe that memories are better than regrets, and at least I can say that I have no regrets this month. See you all in June!

—Leo
(This is another gift to you all. Leonardo is my real name for those that might not know, but everybody just calls me Leo and I like it, I do it myself all the time! This is how I sign all my pms, and I feel like signing this public message like this too. And I also have no regrets doing this. There are a lot of men with my first name here in Florence, I don't think you would be able to find me. And even if you would, I'd be glad to welcome you here! I also feel like this is the perfect closure to the circle that this month has been. As I've said multiple times since my father's passing in December, this site is part of my new normality. I want it to be. And you all are part of my new normality. Thank you all so much for that. Just thank you.)

As promised, starting today and until the 12th, I'll post here for voting the cards coming from my murder mystery story for the MCC... (Future Leo, remember to post the annotated version, you still have to do that!) So here's the main protagonist of "One pierced heart, two mindful horns", Detective Royznod Biklyev of the R.A.M.I., aka Roy:

Roy, Rookie Investigator 1W
Legendary Creature — Human Detective (R)
Vigilance

XWW, T: Search your library for an enchantment card with mana value X or less, reveal it, then shuffle and put that card into your hand. If it's a Case card, put that card onto the battlefield instead. Activate only as a sorcery.

"One pierced heart, two mindful horns" Day 2 — Today you'll meet again Sergeant Zonez Namezt of the Boros Legion, also known as just Zonez. He's Roy's sidekick, and also the "two mindful horns" referenced in the title of the story. He has two horns because he's a Minotaur, I think that's obvious! The intended synergy is that both Roy (mono-white legendary creature) and his sister Ceztra who you will meet tomorrow (Gruul legendary creature) can give the bonus to Zonez.

Zonez, the Mindful Horns 2RW
Legendary Creature — Minotaur Soldier (R)
First strike
As long as you control another red and/or white legendary creature, Zonez, the Mindful Horns gets +2/+1 and has double strike.
"Roy's dad is my boss. All of us in the Wojek department have seen Roy growing up. In a way, he's our own child too, and he calls us his second family. One thing is for sure: we're always there for each other, like a real family."
