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.

HM: RaptorchanFocused StingbearexplanationShowHideThere is an ambiguity in the wording. The "if it's a creature" applies only to planeswalkers or to everything that comes before it (as I think it should)? If you can destroy any artifact, any enchantment, any land, or an animated planeswalker (like any version of Gideon), it's not in pie, as it allows black to destroy artifacts and also to destroy enchantments at a better rate than green or white. It would also be universal land destruction at one mana and I don't even want to think about it. Yes, I get that part is meant to apply to everything in the list, and it makes total sense in pie as you're just destroying a creature that happens to have additional card types, but I can see it being read in the other way, maybe by malicious players who want to exploit their superior knowledge of templating by trying to destroy their opponent's land that they played on their turn one. Of course if you do something like that intentionally, it's cheating, not just in spirit but also in Magic rules.
How to avoid that ambiguity? Potential alternative templates:
• "Destroy target artifact creature, enchantment creature, land creature, or planeswalker creature."
• "Choose target artifact, enchantment, land, or planeswalker. Destroy the chosen permanent if it's a creature." (This is the one I would probably choose out of all in this list as it's the closest one in functionality: the check to see if it's a creature still only happens on resolution and targeting also works in the same way.)
• "Destroy target creature if it's also an artifact, an enchantment, a land, or a planeswalker."
• "Destroy target non-battle creature." (I would avoid this, but I'm just brainstorming and spitting out ideas.)
• Make it modal:
"Choose one —
• Destroy target artifact creature.
• Destroy target enchantment creature.
• Destroy target land creature.
• Destroy target planeswalker creature."
• Like the last one but with the restriction spelled out before the modes:
"Choose one. This spell can't target noncreature permanents.
• Destroy target artifact.
• Destroy target enchantment.
• Destroy target land.
• Destroy target planeswalker."
Creature — Bear Mutant (R)
Trample
Whenever Focused Stingbear attacks, you may choose target creature defending player controls. If you do, that creature blocks Focused Stingbear this combat if able and other creatures that player controls can't block Focused Stingbear this combat if able.
Whenever a creature dealt combat damage by Focused Stingbear this turn dies, put a +1/+1 counter on Focused Stingbear.

The Battle of Malakir
Legendary Battle - Encounter (R)
(Any player may attack an encounter. When it's defeated, its owner sacrifices it.)
When ~ enters the battlefield, each player creates a 2/2 black Vampire creature token.
At the beginning of each player's end step, that player sacrifices a creature that didn't enter the battlefield or attack The Battle of Malakir this turn.

Misfortune Sliver
Creature - Nightmare Sliver (R)
Slivers you control have "Whenever this creature enters or leaves the battlefield, target non-Sliver creature gets -4/-4 until end of turn and you gain 4 life" and "This creature can't be blocked except by four or more creatures."

Siresa Justice
Sorcery U
Siresa Justice deals 2 damage to target creature. If was spent to cast this spells, it deals 4 damage instead. Then you gain life equal to the amount of damage done this way if was spent to cast this spell.
"So, we had two merchants bickering over who got to sell what. So we just confiscated their stuff and kicked them out of town. No more fighting."
