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



Just came home from the Easter night vigil. Happy Easter everyone!

Also, thanks for the votes.

EDIT - And also, last day to submit cards for March. I can't believe how close I've managed to get behind netn10, will I be able to pass them on the last day? A 4 point difference looks like a lot to me in one day, but you never know...

EDIT 2 - I've got the date wrong yesterday. I've fixed that while posting this a few minutes ago. Luckily everybody understood where to post. My bad. Sorry for the inconvenience.

This is the last card coming from a custom plane in my own big table for now. This comes from a plane called Rojebaix (pronounce it as you would in French), a plane with a medieval feel full of different kingdoms and castles. Each castle is home to a King or Queen that makes of it whatever they want. One is a hideout, one is a prison, one is your classic medieval castle where the royal court resides, etc... Each castle is very different from one another, and multiple sets are planned each taking place in one of them. This is from the first set on that plane, where we visit the first of those castles, that would be very familiar to you if you've ever watched an episode of the French tv game show Fort Boyard or one of the many international versions... In that set, a team made up by Kim, Vuk, Jeff (all three people you know by now), Kera (another planeswalker from my table, a monored female Viashino), and two local planebound girls have to play a very similar game to get to reach the room of the antagonist, a witch named Hasjina to whom the castle belongs, also a planeswalker, and also a recurrent character in my stories.

Dreshet, the Running Guide RR
Legendary Creature — Dwarf Scout (R)
Haste
Whenever Dreshet, the Running Guide attacks, reveal the top card of your library. If it's a nonland card, exile that card and you may cast that card this turn. If it's a land card, you may put that card into your graveyard.
"He might technically be Hasjina's employee, but without him and his knowledge of all her castle's secret passages, I, Kim, Vuk, Kera, and the girls would have never gotten to her room. So we actually have to thank him."
—Jeff Lionheart

Partytown Provisions G

Buyback 2 (You may pay an additional 2 as you cast this spell. If you do, put this card into your hand as it resolves.)
Scry 1, then create a supply token of your choice. (Food, Libation, and Treasure are supply tokens.)
Crafting a party on Ambrose requires a sharp mind and adapting to your guests desires.

(I try to avoid reposts, so I'll minorly update the design. Original version is here.)

Pitiless Dictum
Sorcery R
Choose one—
  • Each opponent loses 5 life and you gain 10 life.
  • Each opponent discards a card at random. For each card discarded this way, return up to one target card from your graveyard to your hand.
  • Exile target creature. Create X 1/1 black Snake creature tokens with deathtouch, where X is that creature's mana value.

In Perfect Calmness 1W
Enchantment (Rare)
At the beginning of your end step, draw a card if creatures you control didn't attacked this turn and you didn't cast a spell.
3W: Until the end of your next turn, spells cost 1 more to cast and creatures can't attack unless their controller pays 1 for each creature they control that's attacking.

Votes: marioguy3, Rithaniel (I went back to see that link and it turns out that... uhm... how can I say it? I have judged that card! I didn't remember it.)

A random card for the last day of this month. Starting tomorrow, I'll post here for voting the twelve custom cards I've designed for my murder mystery story for this month's MCC ("One pierced heart, two mindful horns") and that I've posted in the final round.

Expiration Date 2UR
Enchantment (R)
When Expiration Date enters the battlefield, exile any number of cards from your hand, then draw that many cards. Put that many time counters on Expiration Date.
Vanishing
At the beginning of your upkeep, look at the top card of your library. You may exile that card. If you do, Expiration Date deals 2 damage to you.
Once on each of your turns, you may play a card exiled with Expiration Date.

Just Warming Up 1U
Instant (C)
Scry 2, then draw a card.
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.)
Getting into the ultimate party mindset requires discipline, focus, and a tasty beverage.

Day 27: Overreaction Panic
Instant (Uncommon)
As an additional cost to cast Overreaction Panic, discard a card.
Counter target spell.
There can be problems giving up logic for an impulsive taste of control.
The summer is hot. The sum of sun and hot equals summer.

Votes: OneAndOnly (Info: That tap ability can't be a mana ability, because it targets. But cool idea), marioguy3 (Good example of a card that only makes sense at uncommon)

Zzidinarian Gateway
Artifact R
Whenever a land you own is put into exile during your turn, you may play that land from exile until end of turn.
The Zzidinarians are explorers of pasts that have been erased from history by aggressive time mages. They make a lot of enemies as a result.

"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.”
