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



The draft didn't fire, I was the only player who was at the store for it, literally everybody else was there for Commander, which I don't play, and both those players and the store owners have NOT treated me well. Too bad because it was the LGS closest to home, but I will not go back there. I left that store early and spent my Saturday afternoon going to a different more distant one that I had heard talking about but I had never gone to before. I just talked to the store owner there and was too late to play, but he treated me MUCH better, he sold me some cards, and they do Modern every week and draft every two weeks. I think I've found my new LGS, even though it's farther from my home. But how you make your customers feel matters, and if the closest LGS treats me like they did today and one that is more distant treats me well, guess what? I will just go to the more distant one from now on.

Also, here in Florence both Standard and Pioneer are nonexistent in LGSs. Except for prereleases, it's all about Commander (which I don't like and don't play), draft (if there are enough players, and that's a big if), and only that one single store that does Modern. Everything else is dead around here. Just know it if you ever come to Florence. I don't know about other Italian cities, but it wouldn't surprise me if things were similar. Wizards may talk all they want about revitalizing Standard, but they are NOT succeeding here. Maybe in the US, I don't know, but here not for sure. Well, I guess I will update my old Modern Naya burn deck to a Boros build while waiting for MH3... It's literally your only option if you're in Florence, you want to play constructed, and don't play Commander. Makes me sad. As if I weren't already enough because of depression... and now I can say it publicly. At least, that one is a good thing.

Everyone, get your 3 points!

Extra points (if I could) for the flavor text. Except for the part about teaching violence, it could be me: I'm a teacher, I identify as Boros as a person (easy Jeskai if we go three colors), and I do try to teach all of my students first a way to live and only then my subject (chemistry). At the end of each school year, when I have to leave them, I always make sure to tell them in the last lesson that I don't care whether they remember a single chemistry concept, but I care that they remember me as just a man, one who tried his best to do his job. A tear came off my eye just from reading that line. Thank you.
For anyone that might be wondering, these are NOT Kim and Vuk. They are just two random Ainok brothers from the Temur clan of Tarkir.

Ainok Spurrer 1{R/G}
Creature — Dog Warrior (U)
Flash
When Ainok Spurrer enters the battlefield, another target creature you control deals damage equal to its power to target creature you don't control.

Lion's Share WW
Sorcery (Uncommon)
Each player may create a 2/1 white Cat creature token and a Treasure token. Draw a card for each player that didn't.
In the savanna part of Bloomburrow, a pact was struck under the ancient Lion's Oak. Each participant, whether by claw or coin, claimed their share of the bounty. Some took more, some less, but all left with a tale to tell and a prize to cherish.

Choose target creature you control, then choose one —
• That creature deals damage equal to its power to target creature you don't control.
• Destroy target artifact or enchantment with mana value less than or equal to that creature's power.
Teeth so strong that they can turn even the hardest rocks into pieces, and will so determined that it can dispel even the most binding spells.

Coffee Break W

Exile target creature, then return that card to the battlefield under its owner's control.
Create a Libation token. (It's an artifact with "2, T, Sacrifice this artifact: Put a +1/+1 counter on target creature. It becomes euphoric. Activate only as a sorcery.)

"Why are numbers beautiful? It's like asking why is Beethoven's Ninth Symphony beautiful. If you don't see why, someone can't tell you. I know numbers are beautiful. If they aren't beautiful, nothing is."
― Paul Erdős

“I am, somehow, less interested in the weight and convolutions of Einstein’s brain than in the near certainty that people of equal talent have lived and died in cotton fields and sweatshops.”
― Stephen Jay Gould
