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



Congratulations again to @Ink-Treader for winning the month of June, beating me out by 3 points even when I got 100 points in the month. That was a wild month. Also, thanks to @bravelion83, for managing the DCC through the month, and don't worry, the threads went up just fine, so I feel the month of June went well for the DCC.

Welcome everybody to the July 2022 DCC. I'll usually be posting threads somewhere in the span of time from 11:30pm to 3am, Eastern Standard Time, through the month. If I post the thread a little before midnight, I'll watch for any posts in the previous day's thread up until midnight.

I won't be doing the math facts this month. They can take a lot of energy to write up, and I don't believe I will have the energy for that, this month. Unless I have a particularly fun math fact on the mind, I'll just be posting my thoughts at the time of posting.



DCC Scoreboard

Each Wolf creature you control can't be blocked by creatures with lesser power.
1R: Target Wolf you control gets +1/+0 until end of turn.

Refute UU
Instant (U)
Counter target spell unless its controller pays 3. If that spell is countered this way, exile it instead of putting it into its owner's graveyard. As long as that card remains exiled, spells with the same name as it cost 3 more to cast.

@Rithaniel will be the host for most of this month, with me as backup host. I have to point out that for someone to get 100 points and not win is an absurd achievement: this means that Ink-Treader and Rith both had one of the best months in recent DCC history, and they did it at the same time.

Lich Master-of-Arms 3BB
Creature - Zombie Cleric Knight (M)
Other Zombies you control get +1/+1 and have first strike and "Whenever a creature dealt damage by this permanent this turn dies, create a 2/2 black Zombie creature token."
At the beginning of your upkeep, you lose 1 life, then create a 2/2 black Zombie creature token if your life total is even.
3/3

Yeah, June was a crazy month. Even bravelion83 and void_nothing in third and fourth place got really good scores for a month of the DCC.

Hint of Ancient Things
Sorcery R
Spend only green or white mana to cast this spell.
Create a green Spirit creature token with base power and toughness each equal to the amount of green mana spent to cast Hint of Ancient Things, then create a number of 1/1 white Spirit creature tokens with flying equal to the amount of white mana spent to cast this spell.

@Rithaniel I have to be quick, just posting this to thank you for the nice words and to point out that OneAndOnly's probation was 17 days yesterday in my last thread so it should be 16 days today. Also, I want you to know that I for one definitely appreciate your math facts but I absolutely understand the time and energy that goes into doing that, I've seen that for myself on the one month I did facts in my own field, chemistry, and I had to write and plan them out several days in advance, so I know it can be hard and in fact I've never done them again so far. This makes me appreciate you doing them on almost every day on your months even more. If you don't have the time and energy to do them this month, don't worry. Do what you feel like. Just know that I for one will totally understand you anyway. Ok, as usual from me this was longer than I expected to write. Gotta go now.
