The DCC - May 10th, 2021

[void_nothing]

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

---

Today's Norse mythology fact: The infamous monstrous wolf Fenrir is, in fact, Loki's son by the giantess Angrboða. That presumably makes him, actually, a jötunn who lives full-time in the shape of a wolf, as giants are well-known shapechangers in Norse myth. They're not alone in having this talent - dwarves also are good at it and also sometimes basically live their lives in non-humanoid shape, such as the example of the unlucky dwarf Ótr, who spends his time as, well, an otter.

I was going for a reverse Blightning, hence the name. Taking a creature(s) off the board is what makes Electrolyze Card advantage. If taking a planeswalker off the board leads to too much card advantage, I'm alright with that, the planeswalker probably got a card's worth of effect when it entered.

Torbwald, Prince of Red Fell
Legendary Creature - Dwarf Noble (r)
First strike
Whenever a source you control would deal damage to an opponent, it deals that much plus 1 instead.
Whenever an opponent would gain life, they gain that much minus 1 instead.
3/2

Zemoo, Rithaniel (might be a good idea to use counters to track this effect though)

Votes: Zemoo, void_nothing

Re: Zemoo - Aight, I can see the similarity to Blightning, but I still think that it ends up being a bit too much, in the same way that Divination ends up being easier to draft than Mind Rot. Of course, that might just be me.

Preternatural Lurker
Creature - Horror C
Hexproof
Discard Preternatural Lurker: Change the target of target spell that targets only a single creature to a creature you control.
Beneath the docks it rests, always just outside of vision, hanging behind the mist or under the waves, ever present but never able to be caught. Sometimes it will leave things for some unlucky soul to find.
2/2

Orb of Self-Control
Artifact (Rare)
Pay 2 life: Gain control of your next turn.
The old adage of "being yourself and not like others" still applies to life today.
