How does this card-making game work? It's simple! Whenever your card receives a vote in the day's poll, 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 a poll 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 me instead and I'll explain it.
Anyone can post the new thread for the day. When you post it, make sure that:
You have a poll in the thread;
You include everyone's cards (excluding cards that have been disqualified);
The poll is marked as public and multiple choice with a one-day time limit; and
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
I'm loving the recent uptick in participation. We've picked up some really good new designers in the last few months.
Sorry. This ended up being a longer ramble than I initially intended, but I don't want to take the time to go back through it to make it more concise.
I really love the idea of this cycle. I really like the fact that they have a set ability that feeds into their modal abilities. That said, here's a few thoughts. In the first ability, I assume the effect lasts indefinitely? If so, there are memory issues there. The second ability seems like it should be green or red, but the fact that it only hits attacking, blocking, or tapped creatures does make it seem ok in white. I suppose it's possible that there is already a white card that does this that I'm not thinking of, so I have no real problems with the middle ability. Although it is pretty similar to an effect on your green card in the cycle. The last ability also seems green to me. Searching your library for a creature is pretty much always a green ability, although there have been a couple of cards that have seen white do this over the years. In all, I really like the card, although I would make a few adjustments. Perhaps exchange the lifelink in the first ability for a +1/+1 counter to help with the memory issues? You could actually get away with keeping the second two abilities (regardless of a bit of color bend), but I would change the green card's ability to fight to further differentiate it from the white card's second ability. I think 3 CMC is fine, and I would have the creature go to hand, not to the battlefield. Getting two instant speed creatures is pretty strong. It can be a 4 creature swing if you can cast this as a well timed combat trick.
Cajole3R
Sorcery (U)
Gain control of target creature until end of turn. Untap that creature. It gains haste until end of turn.
Conspire (As you cast this spell, you may tap two untapped creatures you control that share a color with it. When you do, copy it and you may choose a new target for the copy.)
What if we took Rebound and evoke and combined them?
Ideaswimmer2U
Creature - Elemental (C)
When Thoughtswimmer enters the battlefield, draw a card.
Sojourn 3U(If you cast this spell for its Sojourn cost, exile it as it enters the battlefield. Return it to the battlefield under its owner's control at the beginning of your next upkeep.)
The little thought wandered the world, and formed a body to match the ones she encountered.
2/1
Assembly Floor
Land (U) T: Add C to your mana pool. T: Target Artificer, Assembly-Worker or Rigger creature gets +1/+1 and gains vigilance until end of turn. "Faster! Faster! Cheaper! Faster!" -foreman's war cry
Today, on account of the absurd card quality contained herein, I'm going to have to give each entry a proper evaluation. Cancel that. Just normal comments. Far too sleepy, and tomorrow is gonna be busy. But still, congrats everyone. *golfclap*
Flatline: How has this not been done before? Brilliant simplicity. Satisfying flavor. JamBlock: I love this ability a lot, but: Permanents aren't cards while they're on the battlefield, "total mana cost" isn't supported terminology, "cards" is a general term while "the card" is specific. I spent some time trying to optimize the templating here. What do you think? "Activation costs of each permanent can't be paid if that permanent has a lower converted mana cost." Shukkets: This is 1-mana creature or planeswalker removal with a tolerable drawback. That's just too good for any format... right? netn10: Nothing groundbreaking here, but still solid, fun design. In limited I'd draft this every time, but in eternal formats, it could potentially cause some unintended behavior. kjsharp: You have my private impressions of this, but I'll say again here that it's just my perception of the white bend in the 3rd mode that I'd change. Great design, and good rewards for the dedicated white mage. I'm seriously digging this cycle. Can't wait to see the others. Tim1137: Seems fine. Much like Flatline, it's weird this hasn't been printed yet. I can't help but notice that this makes Yawgmoth's Bargain EXPONENTIALLY MORE DEGENERATE, but that ain't hard to do. Plus, it's banned almost everywhere. EDIT: Now I'm not entirely sure what happens when the life loss from a life payment is replaced by the life total "becoming" the current life total. Someone less likely to pass out at any moment clear this up! void_nothing: Urza Block's wet dream. Geez, man this is nuts. Unplayable in limited, unplayable in the majority of eternal matchups. Possibly OK sideboard card in some Standard environments. But wow, when this is good, it's oppressive. scrad: Well dang. What a wasted opportunity to combine Force Spike and Runechanter's Pike. Still, it's solid, simple design. Another "this hasn't been printed yet?" soramaro: This hasn't been printed y*shot* (I effing love the ridiculosity of this thing, bee tee dubs) entombedhydra: Wow. Elfpod. I wanna say this is too good, but I'm even more deliriously sleepy than when I began. The flavor is sooo good, and there's tons of fun stuff to do with this. The restrictive mana cost and the "pay 2 life" clause might balance out how degenerate things could get. I'm on the fence about printability on this one. StonerOfKruphix: So, half a Barrage Tyrant stapled to a Goblin Bombardment. OK then! I can dig it, but my gut says the costs are somewhat wonky. a single hybrid mana seems too cheap, even given the CMC4 mana cost. Forestguy: You might as well have made him a "Vampire Werewolf" lol! I really like this thing, and I'm glad it's rare. Uncommon would have been (deceptively) too strong for limited.
Master Snapcaster3UU
Creature — Human Wizard (M)
Spells you cast from your graveyard cost 1 less to cast. 1U, T: Scry 2, then put the top 2 cards of your library into your graveyard.
