Welcome to the DCC!
If you have any questions or comments, feel free to post in the DCC Discussion Thread.
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.
- 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.
I personally totally agree with you on this point, and not just in color combinations. The fact that most planeswalkers just HAVE to be human is another good example, and one I feel strongly about. I'll just make you an example. I've talked about my ongoing plan of custom sets and planes several times by now. I have a table where I list all the custom planeswalkers I've created for those set/stories I've planned. There are currently exactly fifty planeswalkers in that table (all custom ones of mine, only one of which you all know about: Jeff Lionheart). How many of those fifty are humans? FIVE! A tenth of them! How is this proportion in real Magic? I could go and make the count, maybe I will add it as an edit here later, but I did it a long time ago and if I remember correctly it was more than half of the total. That's true also for planes in general. How many planes are there that do NOT have humans? I can only remember one, Lorwyn, and that's a huge reason why that's one of my favorite planes in all of Magic. I often say: I already see too many humans in the real world, why do I have to also see them in my fantasy worlds? Leave room to the more interesting races, the ones that I do NOT get to meet every single day of my life already!
I will ignore non-canon ones like those from AFR and Un-sets. This leaves us with:205.3j Planeswalkers have their own unique set of subtypes; these subtypes are called planeswalker types. The planeswalker types are Ajani, Aminatou, Angrath, Arlinn, Ashiok, Bahamut, Basri, Bolas, Calix, Chandra, Comet, Dack, Dakkon, Daretti, Davriel, Dihada, Domri, Dovin, Ellywick, Elminster, Elspeth, Estrid, Freyalise, Garruk, Gideon, Grist, Huatli, Jace, Jared, Jaya, Jeska, Kaito, Karn, Kasmina, Kaya, Kiora, Koth, Liliana, Lolth, Lukka, Minsc, Mordenkainen, Nahiri, Narset, Niko, Nissa, Nixilis, Oko, Ral, Rowan, Saheeli, Samut, Sarkhan, Serra, Sivitri, Sorin, Szat, Tamiyo, Tasha, Teferi, Teyo, Tezzeret, Tibalt, Tyvar, Ugin, Urza, Venser, Vivien, Vraska, Will, Windgrace, Wrenn, Xenagos, Yanggu, Yanling, and Zariel.

HM: marioguy3, Levin (even though Final Judgment is already taken as a card name, yes, different spelling technically, but it's still the same word).
Lots of good cards up for vote today.
Low Self-Esteem
Enchantment — Aura (R)
Enchant creature
Enchanted creature loses all activated and triggered abilities.
Enchanted creature's power and toughness are halved. Round up each time.
"I can no longer understand what used to be second nature to me... I guess I've just become stupid, I see no other explanations."

Fatespinner –
Creature – Horror (R)
~ enters the battlefield with X * counters on it.
At the beginning of each upkeep, any player may pay . If they don't, each player discards their hand, then shuffles their graveyard into their library and reveals cards from the top of their library equal to the number of * counters on ~. They lose life equal to the total mana value of cards they own revealed this way and put those cards into their hand.
4/4

Deadline Researcher
Creature - Human Advisor (U)
: Exile the top card of your library. You may play it. Deadline Researcher is staggered until you do. (A creature that is staggered cannot change orientation from tapped to untapped or vice-versa through any means except the condition that staggered it.)
"We might have hints of a cure for cancer, but if we keep leaving projects unfinished, who's ever gonna trust us with grants?"
1/1
Rules noteShowHideThe "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.

Ironclaw Pock-Face
Creature - Orc Leper {U}
Fear
Ironclaw Pock-Face can't block, can't be enchanted, and can't be equipped.
3/2

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.bravelion83 wrote: ↑1 year ago@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...
That Which Refuses
Creature - Elder Horror U
Deathtouch
If That Which Refuses would be put into exile from anywhere, instead shuffle it into your library.
"It is much like me."
