The DCC - April 1st, 2024

[bravelion83]

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

---

Last night daylight savings time started in Italy. It's 11 minutes past midnight here now, I hope the time change doesn't mean I'm posting this one hour too early...

Today is the last round of voting for March. Cards posted today will count for April. Tomorrow will be my last day hosting and then I will pass command, I believe, to Rithaniel void_nothing. Will I ever get this right?

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.

Votes: netn10 , bravelion83

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.

Votes: archemediesx, netn10
.
Defensive Perimeter
Land {C}
T: Add C
Whenever a land controlled by another player enters, Fortified Perimeter becomes a Golem artifact creature with "This creature's power and toughness are equal to the number of lands you control" until you play a land.

Votes: netn10, bravelion83

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.

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.

Votes: archemediesx, marioguy3

Festive Egg 1
Artifact Creature - Rabbit Egg (Common)
Defender
T, Sacrifice Festive Egg: Add G or W.
Whenever Festive Egg dies, you may pay 3. If you do, create a token that's a copy of a Rabbit token you control.
0/2

As promised, starting today and until the 12th, I'll post here for voting the cards coming from my murder mystery story for the MCC... (Future Leo, remember to post the annotated version, you still have to do that!) So here's the main protagonist of "One pierced heart, two mindful horns", Detective Royznod Biklyev of the R.A.M.I., aka Roy:

Roy, Rookie Investigator 1W
Legendary Creature — Human Detective (R)
Vigilance
At the beginning of your upkeep, put X +1/+1 counters on Roy, Rookie Investigator, where X is one plus the number of Cases you've solved this game.
XWW, T: Search your library for an enchantment card with mana value X or less, reveal it, then shuffle and put that card into your hand. If it's a Case card, put that card onto the battlefield instead. Activate only as a sorcery.
"I joined the Agency to see each guild at their worst."
