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



Alright, welcome to the August DCC! Last month was crazy, with @netn10 and @Raptorchan both getting 87 points. July was a high-scoring month, with a total of seven players above 50 points. That's a sign that we saw some good competition throughout that month. As netn10 points out: It was crazy.

Let's have another crazy month with August! We're starting off with a three-way tie, so that's promising.

Swift Return RWB
Sorcery (R)
Choose target nonland permanent you control or nonland card in your graveyard and exile it. Until end of turn, you may cast that card from exile. (You still pay its costs.) When you do, it gains "This spell can't be countered." If it's a creature, it also gains "This creature enters the battlefield with an additional +1/+1 counter on it." If it's a planeswalker, it also gains "This planeswalker enters the battlefield with an additional loyalty counter on it." If it's a battle, it also gains "This battle enters the battlefield with an additional defense counter on it."

Wow, what a finish. Two daily contest, both won by Raptorchan, who tied, in both games, with another player. Two scores of 87 is crazy, and netn10 surging from third to tied for first is even nuttier. A four point upset might not seem like much, but getting that many points in difference in a single day is uncommon. This was a good month.

I believe I'll be taking over the thread posting for August.

Rain of Scripture
Enchantment R
At the beginning of your upkeep, sacrifice a noncreature permanent unless you pay .
Noncreature spells your opponents cast cost and "Pay 1 life" more to cast.
Noncreature spells you cast cost less to cast. This effect reduces only the amount of colored mana you pay.

Overclocked Sniper 3
Artifact Creature — Construct Archer (U)
Cleave 3
Reach
When Overclocked Sniper enters the battlefield, it deals 1[0] damage to target creature [chosen at random].
A beautiful display of the distinction between precision and accuracy.

*proobably* the worst mechanic I ever designed, but it was like an earworm.

Planar Plane 3UU
Artifact — Vehicle (Un-MR)
Planar Plane can't be blocked.
Whenever Planar Plane deals combat damage to a player, search that player's library for a creature card and put it on the battlefield under your control. Then that player shuffles.
Led Crew 4/2 (Tap any number of creatures you control with total power 4 or more, remove two loyalty counters from among planeswalkers you control: This Vehicle becomes an artifact creature until end of turn.)
Everyone has a price. Especially when it comes to interdimensional holidays.
1/1

Artifact (U)
At the beginning of each end step, if a creature died this turn, surveil 1 and each opponent loses 1 life.
1B, T, Sacrifice a creature: Target creature gets -3/-3 until end of turn.
