The DCC - February 3rd, 2023

[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.)

Okay, new regime for the month! Thanks to Rithaniel for hosting a great January and you all know what this means - scoreboard is reset, by happy coincidence there are no active probations, and we all get to see if we can win February.

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.
5/5

notes: Anyone have any tips for completing four weeks of school in five days? Asking for a friend

Overwhelming Responsibility
Enchantment — Aura (U)
When Overwhelming Responsibility enters the battlefield, tap enchanted creature.
Enchanted creature doesn't untap during its controller's next untap step.
At the beginning of enchanted creatures controller's upkeep, that player mills three cards.

@Venedrex Writing down a list of what must be done is a nice first step. Immense focus will be key.

Resarch-inator
Artifact (Mythic Rare)
Hexproof
: Search your library for an artifact card, reveal it, then put it on top of your library. Any player may activate this ability.
: Destroy Research-inator. Any player may activate this ability.

votes: marioguy3, emily

Clean Sky Mandate rw
Sorcery (U)
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.)
In an advanced society, every sector cooperates to address pollution. In Ravnica, the Boros' arrest quotas increase.

Noxious Cloud bg

Rejected idea for yesterday's NCED:

Old Friendship with Zariel 2R
Legendary Enchantment - Background (R)
Background for Lulu, Loyal Hollyphant (This Background can only be your commander with Lulu, Loyal Hollyphant as your other commander.)
Commander creatures you control have "Whenever this creature attacks, it deals 1 damage to each other creature, then proliferate."
Lulu was once close to the Archduchess of Avernus - long before Zariel fell.
