The DCC - July 24th, 2022

[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 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.)

This one took a little while to word in a way I think works.

Defy the Soul
Sorcery U
Each player puts a creature card in their graveyard onto the battlefield tapped if was spent to cast this spell. Then, if was spent to cast it, choose a creature an opponent controls. Untap that creature and, until end of turn, gain control of it and it gains haste. (Do both if was spent.)

@Rithaniel I believe that wording does indeed work as intended. See spoiler for more.

SPOILER

The instructions are performed in order and the red part doesn't target, so you can choose one of the creatures put onto the battlefield with the black part. You will choose which creature to reanimate first and then all other players in turn order, but a player won't know which creature the previous players have chosen to reanimate from their graveyards, just that they have already made that choice, so I see no problems with that. I just think there are two inconsistencies in editing: I believe it should be "Each player puts a creature card FROM their graveyard onto the battlefield..." at the beginning, and the intervening-if-style "until end of turn" reads really weird at least to me. I think untapping and gaining control and haste would be two separate sentences: "Untap that creature. Until end of turn, gain control of it and it gains haste", but neither is a functional issue.

Eternal's Bite BG
Sorcery (U)
Put a +1/+1 counter on target creature you control. That creature becomes a black Zombie in addition to its other colors and types, then it deals damage equal to its power to target creature or planeswalker you don't control.

Glutton's Gambit RR
Sorcery (R)
Flip a coin until you lose a flip or choose to stop flipping. Create two Food tokens and two Treasure tokens for each flip you win. If you lose a flip, you lose half your life, rounded up.

Wetland Buffalo 4U

3/4

Votes: netn10, void_nothing

Man of Sudden Appearances
Creature - Human Wizard R (Un-card)
Haste
You may start the game with Man of Sudden Appearances in exile.
At the beginning of your upkeep, if Man of Sudden Appearances is in exile, you may roll a d20. On a result of 20, put Man of Sudden Appearances onto the battlefield and say something dramatic. (But not too dramatic.)
