The DCC - November 1st, 2023

[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.)

We've entered the brief period where the time difference between the US (I'll take Eastern time as an example) and Italy changes to 5 hours instead of the normal 6 because daylight savings time has ended in Italy, last Saturday, but not yet in the US. As a result, I have to remember that everything coming from the US/Canada is one hour earlier than usual, before realigning I believe in something like two weeks or so. For example, this thread went up at 5 am Italian time instead of 6 am as it usually does. I came here to check around 5:50 am only to find the thread had been already up since one hour before. If I were hosting this month, I would have to take that into account. It happens every year, and it always feels quite strange to me.

Tomorrow will be the last card in my two-month plan of three nested card cycles that I've been posting, and I will explain the logic behind the sequence of cards that I've been posting for all September and October. I will do so in the discussion thread tomorrow. This card is a special one for today though and doesn't fit into any of the three nested cycles.

Defeat Evil 1WW
Sorcery (R)
Kicker 4W (You may pay an additional 4W as you cast this spell.)
Exile target creature. If Defeat Evil was kicked, create a 4/4 white Angel creature token with flying, vigilance, and indestructible. If the exiled creature was a Demon or Devil, instead create two of those tokens.
"We know who is behind this. And it's our duty as guardian angels to get rid of them all."

Mural Echo 2W
Creature - Dinosaur Spirit (Rare)
As an additional cost to cast this spell, tap four untapped artifacts, creatures, and/or lands you control.
When Mural Echo enters the battlefield, draw a card for each artifact used to cast it, put a +1/+1 on each creature used to cast it and you gain 1 life for each land used to cast it.
4/4

Niblis of Sleep 1W
Creature - Spirit (U)
Flying
~ enters the battlefield tapped with 3 stun counters on it.
As long as ~ has one or more stun counters on it, spells cost 1 more to cast.
3/2

HM - netn10 (I don't know what the ? is supposed to be, and if it works the way I think it does, I think it's OP, but I like the idea)

Happy Halloween!

Using Raptorchan's "Compromise" mechanic from here.

Try it Once
Sorcery R
Untap and gain control of target creature until end of turn. It gains haste until end of turn.
-----
Stay Forever
Sorcery R
If you control target creature, exile it. Return it to the battlefield under your control with a "ward " counter on it at the beginning of the next end step.
-----
Compromise (You may cast both halves of this card as one spell for its compromise cost if they have the same target.)

Votes: bravelion83, Rithaniel

Distorting Pulse 2BB
Instant (U)
Surveil 4. When you do, up to one target creature gets -X/-X until end of turn, where X is the number of creature cards in your graveyard, and up to one target creature gets +X/-X until end of turn, where X is the number of noncreature cards in your graveyard.

"?" is "Pay the amount that the condition says you should. Maybe the card could have worked with a simple X, but I'm not sure how it could have been worded.

Apex One, the Genesis G
Legendary Creature - Dinosaur (Rare)
Evolve
Whenever a creature causes Apex One to evolve, if that creature has flying, put a flying counter on Apex One. The same is true for first strike, double strike, deathtouch, haste, hexproof, indestructible, lifelink, menace, reach, and vigilance.

Explore the Wastelands 1CG
Sorcery (U)
Search your library for up to one basic land card and/or a card named Wastes, then put them onto the battlefield tapped.
"Young explorer, you want to learn about the mythic third continent of our world? Yes, it does actually exist, every shaman can sense it, but nobody who tried to go there has ever come back. What makes you think you're different from them?"
—Zadjetz, Lithian shaman

This is the last card in a two-month sequence containing three different nested cycles alternating every other day. I want to explain the logic behind it now that it's over, but I don't have the time right now to write it out. Look for such a post from me in the discussion thread very soon. Tomorrow a period of random cards will start, but other cycles will come for sure.

Discover the Portal BG
Sorcery (R)
Search your library for two cards and exile them. Put any basic land cards from among them into your hand. Then, shuffle and put the rest on top of your library in any order. You lose 2 life.

Votes: netn10, RattingRots

Argynn, Time Eater
Legendary Creature - Slug M
At the beginning of each player's upkeep, exile the top two cards of that player's library. Then, if two land cards were exiled this way, you may put one of them onto the battlefield under your control.
You may cast spells with mana value 3 or less from among cards exiled with Argynn, and you may spend mana as though it were mana of any color to cast those spells.
3/6
