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



And netn10 comes out on top in the race for first place, ending the month with an explosive +8, second through fourth place all within 8 points of his final score.

This was a very competitive month. Everyone was vying for points, and managing to get them in equal measure. At first, void_nothing was pulling out ahead. Then I overtook him. Then bravelion83 and netn10 overtook me while wizyard made his presence known. All throughout the last week, the top few spots have been bobbing up and down among each other, with no "clear winner," until now, with netn10 coming in with a decisive one-day victory on the last day to pull ahead.

January ended up being a really fun month, but now, it's on to February. I look forward to seeing what we will see in void_nothing's month. Meanwhile, I'm going to go fix my sleep schedule.

Congratulations to @netn10. I've kept on trying until the end but I'm still happy with the second place, it's still better than I usually do in this contest.

Phyrexian Detonator RRRR
Creature — Phyrexian Horror (M)
Trample
Whenever a source deals damage to Phyrexian Detonator, Phyrexian Detonator deals damage to that source's controller equal to that source's mana value. This damage can't be prevented.

Clean Sky Mandate rw

Each player chooses from among the permanents they control a nonbasic land and a creature with reach. Detain all other nonbasic, nonflying permanents. (Until your next turn, their activated abilities can't be played. Creatures detained this way can't attack or block until your next turn.)
