The DCC - April 6th, 2024

[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.)

"One pierced heart, two mindful horns" Day 5/12 — Today you'll meet again Zbalek, the killer, the Gruul boy under a Dimir cloak who shot the poisoned arrow that killed the Selesnya hierarch. You only learn his name in the last episode (Episode 4), but he's been there since Episode 1. Zbalek belongs to the Slizt clan, the one that the other Gruul clans consider as cowards. Zbalek, unlike Ceztra, is your typical Gruul member, one who cares about destruction and assaulting civilization, but the two of them are actually friends. Discovering Zbalek is a killer is a huge emotional blow to Ceztra, who's no longer sure she can trust her friend anymore. She doesn't want to lose his friendship though. She will try to fix things with him despite what he has done, but regaining somebody's trust requires time. We might see in the future if she manages to do that. In the meantime, enjoy Zbalek's card:

Zbalek, the Cloaked Killer 1RG
Legendary Creature — Human Warrior (R)
Haste, deathtouch
At the beginning of your upkeep, if Zbalek, the Cloaked Killer is on the battlefield or in your graveyard, you may exile it. If you do, cloak it. (To cloak a card, put it onto the battlefield face down as a 2/2 creature with ward 2. Turn it face up any time for its mana cost if it's a creature card.)
"Are you wearing the same cloak the killer was?"

"One pierced heart, two mindful horns" Day 6/12 — Today you'll meet again Lubyd, a human boy in his late 20s that's been a lurking presence since the very beginning of the story. "Roy's housemate" is mentioned several times in the first three episodes, but it's only in Episode 4, the final one, that we get to finally know him. He has overheard from the other room Roy speaking to Zonez about his case and wanting to talk to the Dimir to investigate the killer's cloak, and to keep Roy as far away as possible from his own guild (Roy does NOT know his housemate is a Dimir member), he decides to incapacitate Roy, bring him in their house's basement, disguising his true identity with a Dimir cloak not unlike the one the killer had and a voice-altering spell, and try to convince Roy that there is no further involvement of the Dimir in his case besides selling the cloak to the Gruul (which is actually the truth, despite being a Dimir in disguise he's not lying here). But what he really wants is to scare away Roy from the Dimir. He knows Roy and knows it would be too much to him, and he cares too much about Roy. For the moment, he manages to do that, while also keeping his Dimir allegiance hidden to Roy. A complete success from his point of view. We as readers only learn his name now, after one of his intraguild contacts, a human girl who had been there hidden behind a piece of furniture the whole time, comes out of hiding and calls him by name: Lubyd, having a brief dialogue before leaving the house from the basement's secondary entrance.

Lubyd, Roy's Housemate 2UB
Legendary Creature — Human Rogue (R)
Disguise 3{U/B}{U/B}
Lubyd can't be blocked by creatures with power 1 or less.
2{U/B}: Choose target creature an opponent controls. That creature's power becomes 1 until end of turn. You can't activate this ability if Lubyd has been turned face up this turn.
"I care too much about Roy, and I know he wouldn't last a single day in our guild. I don't want him as a guildmate. I want to scare him away from joining our guild."
2/4
