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.)
Note of the Day
The poll system may be functional enough to run the DCC with again. We'll see on March 1st.
Since it's Chinese New Year, it's Chinese numerology time!
Four DeathsBBBB
Sorcery (U)
Choose four target creatures. Destroy one of those creatures, then exile another one of those creatures, then shuffle another one of those creatures into its owner's library, then put the last one on the bottom of its owner's library. "I did tell you four was an unlucky number."
Votes: Guesswork, Indighost.
Honorable mentions for everyone else, there's a lot of cards I like up for voting today. I wish I could vote for almost all of them.
Revenge Kill1B
Instant (U)
Target creature gets -X/-X until end of turn, where X is the life you lost this turn. (Damage causes loss of life.) “How did you dare to touch me?”
In Cold Blood3BB
Sorcery (C)
Destroy target creature. If its controller has 10 life or less, you gain life equal to that creature's toughness. "Some beverages are most refreshing chilled." - Drana, Kalastria Bloodchief
Hypnotic Tutor (Uncommon) 2BB
Sorcery
Target opponent discards a card at random. Search your library for a card and put it into your hand. Then shuffle your library.
I realize this could be rare, but usually when I'm torn between bad Rare and great Uncommon, I go with great Uncommon.
Ephara's Acolyte will have to wait until tomorrow.....
So I know I just posted a card similar to this a week or so ago but, one of the options for the current MCC challenge is to make a card with Imprint, but it can't be an artifact. I immediately thought of the Sword I posted last week and adapted it to meet the challenge. I think this new version is different enough, and (hopefully) cool enough to warrant posting it. I especially like that it can act as soft removal in a pinch. BTW, I cost it at 4 in the MCC, but I want to test it at 3 here.
Sheoldred's Will
Enchantment - Aura (U)
Enchant creature Imprint - When Sheoldred's Will enters the battlefield, exile target creature card from a graveyard.
Enchanted creature is a copy of the exiled creature.
"We must not allow the dark will of these loathsome invaders to overtake our souls."
-Jor Kadeen
Mario1RU
Legendary Creature - Human Plumber (R) U: Mario gains flying until end of turn. U: If Mario has flying, it can't be blocked this turn. R: Mario gets +1/+0 until end of turn.
As long as you control a Fungus, Mario gets +2/+2.
2/2
Light in Utter Darkness3BW
Enchantment - Aura (R)
Enchanted Creature gets +2/+2 and has deathtouch, lifelink and haunt (When this creature dies, exile it haunting target creature.).
When enchanted creature dies, if it haunts another creature, return Light in Utter Darkness from your graveyard to the battlefield attached to that creature. "Good and evil are not that different, but simply two sides of the same coin." - Sorin Markov
This should normally work if you put the triggers on the stack correctly. First you put the trigger from Light in Utter Darkness on the stack, then the haunt from the enchanted creature. That creature haunts another creature, and you can return Light in Utter Darkness attached to that creature.
Lost in Time1UU
Sorcery
Exile target creature and the top three cards of its owner's library face down in a pile. Then put those cards back on top of their owner's library in random order.
Trial by Expurgation1UU
Instant (U)
Choose target creature controlled and owned by the same player. Its owner reveals the top seven cards of his or her library. If a card with the same converted mana cost as the chosen creature isn't revealed this way, exile that creature and the revealed cards. "Don't let them ██████████████ me!"
Cauterizer (Uncommon) 4RW
Creature - Elemental Cleric
2/4 T: Cauterizer deals 1 damage to target creature or player. Prevent all other damage that would be dealt to that creature or player this turn.
Ball of SoulfireW
Instant [U]
Convoke (Your creatures can help cast this spell. Each creature you tap while casting this spell pays for 1 or one mana of that creature's color.)
Ball of Soulfire deals 2 damage to target attacking or blocking creature.
Your Wildest Dreams3UU
Sorcery (R)
Search target opponent's library for an instant, sorcery, or enchantment card and cast it without paying its mana cost. That player shuffles his or her library.
Furious Incursion1RR
Sorcery (U)
Furious Incursion deals 2 damage to each creature and player. Raid — If you attacked with a creature this turn, Furious Incursion deals 3 damage to each creature and player instead.
