The DCC - September 2nd, 2022

[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

---

@CunningGabe played patiently all month and walks away with a well-earned victory after climbing the standings! @bravelion83 is about to take over, meaning the first thread posted by that lovely person will come an additional few hours beyond a full day after this one. Subsequent threads will have about a 24-hour gap as usual.

@beavelion83: I take the extreme opposite position of yours: Rarity on fan-created cards is utterly nonsensical. None of the cards posted on this forum are going to be printed in a booster, or any other format, so there's no meaningfulness behind saying "This card is common" or "This card is a rare." Theyre all equally non-rarity. Additionally, you'll find among Wizards' development notes that rarity assignment can change, and quite frequently, between the initial design phase (which is where I imagine most of forum cards are in the process) versus development.

I might bend that a little if we were creating entire sets, but I see so very few fan-created sets that even get close to approximating the development Wizards can give to theirs. Fan-created sets have the additional benefit of being able to step outside of 'normal' set parameters, including set size and rarity -- so even there, it remains pointless to assign rarities.

Judging -- more specifically, penalizing -- cards because of a lack of rarity that cannot be assigned really smacks of looking to find a problem when there isn't one.

@bravelion83 is about to take over, meaning the first thread posted by that lovely person will come an additional few hours beyond a full day after this one. Subsequent threads will have about a 24-hour gap as usual.

Many thanks for the "lovely person", but I am just as I am, it's only that I chose to be myself and don't wear any masks on the internet a long time ago. If you all like me this way that's good, but it wouldn't actully change anything to me if you didn't. I would do that anyway.

But the real reason why I'm posting this right now is that this is no longer true, at least not for this month. Things in my real life are slowly shifting, but of course those are personal things that I won't talk about here. It's nothing bad, don't worry. I'm fine. It's just that sometimes things do change even if we don't want to. But what this means is that, at least for this month, I will actually keep the same time and threads will go up around the time of this post. I can't tell you yet how things will go in future months of mine, but for September the thread posting time will stay the same, what for me in central Europe is 6 am, which is midnight Eastern, 9 pm of the previous day Pacific, and I think some time in the Australian afternoon. There are only a couple days in the month, or maybe three at most I believe, we'll see how things go, when I won't be able to post the thread at that time and you, @void_nothing, or maybe someone else if you prefer, will have to cover for me. The first such day will be the 8th. I'll let you know the others ahead of time. Expect tomorrow's thread right around the time of this post. So you will NOT have additional hours to post your cards, today will be an ordinary 24-hour posting day. See you all tomorrow and sorry for the wall of text. The future me will delete this part tomorrow to avoid clogging up the card quotes.

Call Upon the Harsh Lands
Sorcery R
Search your library for a basic land card and put it onto the battlefield with an animation counter, a lifelink counter, and a hexproof counter on it, then shuffle. That land becomes a 3/3 creature for as long as it has an animation counter on it. It is still a land.
