The DCC - May 17th, 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.)

Notes of the Day

I made some salmon last night. It mostly turned out good, but a couple pieces were thinner than the rest, and they need to cook for less time than the rest.

I'm experimenting with four-color cards that intentionally try to separate themselves from their missing color. I still hold that this isn't a necessary condition on four-color cards, but I want to see if I like the results.

Memorial
Instant R
You gain 2 life for each creature card with mana value 1 or less in your graveyard.
-----
Fallen Soldiers
Instant R
Return each creature card with mana value 1 or less in your graveyard to the battlefield with a first strike counter on it.

When I introduced the group of seven protagonists from my first story on Vukanat I didn't include any characters outside of the group, but there is one that could be considered the 8th unofficial member, who only communicates with Kim and Vuk through written letters and has no role other than that in that first story, where we only see him in his epistolar conversations with the Kratich brothers and in a single flashback to when him and Kim were classmates in the equivalent of our university and he is the one who makes Kim and Mirka become friends, which in the present justifies Mirka being part of the main group. He is a Rhox and his name is Rov Gorik. As the main seven, he also is a part of my real self, specifically the teacher part. As an adult, Rov is now a teacher in the same school that most of them attended as children, himself included. Rov's father is a doctor whose name is Harkat Gorik, and he is the one who's speaking here, explaining why on Vukanat there are both doctors and healers, which might seem a contradiction at first. It's actually not, and Dr. Gorik himself explains it in the flavor text here. This card represents him in non-legendary form.

District Physician 2W
Creature — Rhino Doctor (U)
Flash
When District Physician enters the battlefield, another target creature you control gains indestructible until end of turn. You gain life equal to that creature's toughness.
"We cure people with science. Healers do so with magic. There is no right or wrong way, here on Vukanat they are both valid, what's important is that sick people are cured and their pain relieved."
—Dr. Harkat Gorik

The Warriors of Ambrose live and die by the strength of their firewater.

Votes: folding_music, Rithaniel (seems like a pretty hard experiment, but the first card is promising!)

Judgment Oracle WU

"People tend to believe that Ravnican society is fair and balanced, and I agree to some extent. You will receive the same tools to succeed as everyone else, but I will personally monitor how you use them."

The non-R faction of Kolyfar is the government, also known as "the Lawful Eye". It's a highly pervasive government that wants to control everything on the plane by all means necessary. That's reflected in the intended play style of the faction: in gameplay, they are supposed to be the most controlling faction, with WU (the central main colors) being a natural choice for a control deck, and B and G letting you recycle cards by returning respectively creatures and any cards from your graveyard to your hand, ready to be played again.

This is the end of the Revelry cycle, but I'm incoherent, so there is another cycle of cards with a four-color identity from the Kolyfar factions (you'll see what it is as it starts the day after tomorrow) and I will keep posting them every other day. I'll go in reverse order for the new cycle, so expect to see more of the Lawful Eye in two days. I'll still post random simpler cards in the other days for people who might not like exploring the four-colored design space.

Lawful Eye Revelry {W/U}
Sorcery (R)
Spree (Choose one or more additional costs.)
+ 2 — Scry 2.
+ {G/W} — Return target artifact, creature, or enchantment card with mana value 2 or less from your graveyard to your hand.
+ WU — Until your next turn, target creature can't attack or block and another target creature gains vigilance and "Whenever this creature attacks or blocks, draw a card."
+ {U/B} — The next instant or sorcery spell you cast costs 1 less to cast.

Kushina Cafeteria 2G
Enchantment (U)
When Kushina Cafeteria enters the battlefield, create a Food token. (It's an artifact with "2, T, Sacrifice this artifact: You gain 3 life.")
Get Baked — Whenever you sacrifice a Food, bolster 1. (Choose a creature with the least toughness among creatures you control and put a +1/+1 counter on it.)
Kushina cuisine is neither nutritious or delicious, yet it somehow still qualifies as food.
