The DCC - May 12th, 2024

[Rithaniel]

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 tothe 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.)

@Indighost: So happy to see you back!

The Wicked Pride (non-U) wants to keep the balance of the plane of Kolyfar by proactively destroying everything, magical or otherwise, that threatens it, according to them of course. It's made up of almost exclusively leonin people, organized in what you could call a federation of families. The government (its own faction which you will meet in the next days) uses them as their unofficial army in the most difficult missions, when it wants to make sure that the enemy is destroyed dead or alive. In fact, the Wicked Pride has an innate taste for using violence to solve problems. They are the most violent of the factions, that's for sure, and they make no scruples about it.

Wicked Pride Revelry {R/G}
Sorcery (R)
Spree (Choose one or more additional costs.)
+ 2 — Distribute two +1/+1 counters among one or two target creatures.
+ {B/R} — Target creature deals damage equal to its power to itself.
+ RG — Each of up to two target creatures you control deals damage equal to its power to target creature you don't control.
+ {G/W} — Destroy target artifact or enchantment.

Another try to play with counters...

Rapid Subcooling {2/u}
Instant (C)
Distribute three stun counters among any number of target permanents.

Clique Bait 2G
Instant (U)
Will of the council — Choose target creature you control. Starting with you, each player votes for unity or clout. If unity gets more votes, put a +1/+1 counter on each creature you control. If clout gets more votes or the vote is tied, put two +1/+1 counters on that creature and it becomes euphoric.

I've been trying to write a short story, but I might need to rewrite some stuff before I actually publish it.

You're not alone

It's since NEO that I have to make a second edition of my first story to fix the main antagonist's backstory as back in 2019 when I first wrote it I thought it would have been cool to make it an ogre from Kamigawa, there's no way they will ever go back to Kamigawa for real... and then NEO was announced. He will still be from Kamigawa, but I have to fix a few details in his backstory to make it compatible with the new Kamigawa. I already know what and how I have to fix but I still have to put the will and time to actually do it, taking advantage of that to also fix a few dates that also need fixing after additional worldbuilding on Vukanat that I made after I wrote that story. Sooner or later I will do it, but I don't know if I will ever publish that story. There are a few parts that are explicit and probably NSFW (I've never talked about those parts here for obvious reasons but they do exist), and that would certainly go against Wizards' fan content policy. Maybe I could make a clean version for publishing, we'll see.

Macabre Tour 1UB
Sorcery (R)
Each player discards a card, then returns a creature card from their graveyard to the battlefield, then returns a creature they control from the battlefield to their hand.
