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



I am humbled, I didn't expect a random common card that I came up with in a few minutes while in a hurry and not even feeling 100% good would have gotten every single vote it could with everybody who could vote for it actually voting for it (of course in the DCC one cannot vote for oneself). And the bonus +2 on top of that. It makes a total of +12 that makes me jump at the top of the leaderboard. I only have two things to say. First, thank you all, each and every single one of you all. Second, has anybody EVER gotten a +12 in a single day? I honestly cannot remember it and I've been following this contest for several years by now. Have I actually unintentionally set some kind of new record? Anyway, thanks again everybody! (Edited for typo.)

@Rithaniel I didn't even think about asymmetry while designing it, I just realized it as you mentioned it. I know you like it. Maybe I should try more of it...

HM: Wizyard (Very interesting card but would probably be really annoying to play against even though it solves some of the issues with subgames. IMO you should add that if you win the subgame you win the game - i.e. if you win the subgame you win but if you lose you take extra turns based on the number of turns you lived - not really as a fix for the most part but bc you wouldn't have this game of waiting forever in a winning position in the subgame)

Deadline Researcher 2U

The "through any means" is a bit of a simplified hyperbole to make reminder text shorter. You *can* unstagger a staggered permanent by making it lose all its abilities.

Well, I like asymmetric color combos for the same reason that I like wedges (and obligate-colorless mana (and four-color combos)). They are under-represented, and, I feel, if they got more attention, the game would be better for it. The official makers of MtG limit themselves far too much in that regard.
