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
HELLO! I'm indighost, you may know me as the nutjob that posts too much on the creative page! THANK YOU ALL FOR THE VOTES, BUT ONCE AGAIN IT LOOKS LIKE WE HAVE A PULL AHEAD IN FLATLINE! STILL THERE IS TIME YET TO CLOSE THIS GAP! ALL TOGETHER NOW!
Edit: fixxed standing positions.
Rush of KnowledgeUUU
Instant {R}
Scry 3, then reveal the top card of your library. If it's an instant or sorcery card, you may play it this turn. That card costs 2 less to cast until end of turn.
Gruzik Instigator(2/G)(2/G)RR
Creature - Dwarf Warrior
When Gruzik Instigator enters the battlefield, manifest the top card of the your library. (Put it onto the battlefield face down as a 2/2 creature. Turn it face up any time for its mana cost if it’s a creature card.) (R/G)(R/G), T: Target creature you control with no abilities fights another target creature.
3/2
Awake All Reflections6RR
Sorcery (Mythic)
For each creature target player controls, put a token that's a copy of that creature. Each of those tokens gains haste. At the end of turn, exile all of those tokens.
Scrivener's Shield -- 2W
Instant (U)
Prevent all damage that would be dealt to you this turn. At the beginning of the next end step, scry X, where X is the amount of damage prevented this way. "Just give me time to think!"
ObviateUU
Instant (U)
Look at target opponent’s hand. You may choose a nonland card from it. If you do, that player reveals the chosen card, puts it on the bottom of his or her library, then draws a card.
Draw a card. True denial lies not in a contradiction. It is preventing the thought from ever existing in the first place.
• Flatline: My first instinct was "Why is this an enchantment? This would be perfect as a sorcery", then I realized you probably made this an enchantment to take advantage of the enchantment synergies of Theros block. Still, I'm not sure that's enough of a reason, and I think this would read much better as a sorcery.
• netn10: That's value indeed, but it's just too much value. I really think this needs to cost one mana more at least and maybe be a rare too. Still, I like the idea.
• SkyBoundFencer: When I read the name and the trigger, I was expecting it dealt damage to "each creature and each player". That would have been an explosion! This just feels like fire redirection to me. Anyway, bonus points for the flavor text, it's wonderful! I love it!
Endless Chain3UUU
Enchantment (M)
Whenever you cast a spell, draw a card. Each piece of the puzzle leads you to the next.
Votes: Indighost, Hemlock (I'm pretty sure grandeur will never see print again, but I always liked it personally.)
One last reanimation card, then I'll move on, I promise ....
Wartime Revivalist
Creature – Human Cleric (R)
Vigilance
Whenever Wartime Revivalist attacks, you may pay . If you do, return target creature card with converted mana cost 2 or less from your graveyard to the battlefield tapped and attacking.
3/4
Votes: IlGreven, konradishes (Both of these cards are just beautiful, although I think I'd like konradishes's flavor text better as one sentence, "True denial lies not in a contradiction, but in preventing the thought from ever existing in the first place.", but as always, I could be wrong.)
HM: fearlessfeline (I love this for EDH, and would have voted for it on most days.)
Changed my card...
Assimilating Sludge
Creature - Ooze (R)
Devour 1 (As this enters the battlefield, you may sacrifice any number of creatures. This creature enters the battlefield with that many +1/+1 counters on it.)
If a creature with flying was devoured with Assimilating Sludge's devour ability, Assimilating Sludge has flying. The same is true for first strike, double strike, deathtouch, haste, hexproof, indestructible, lifelink, reach, trample, and vigilance.

@ Flatline: the ironic thing is that I never think of Commander when designing cards as I don't play it!
@ Indighost: the numbers are right as far as I know but I should be above acheron_xl in the standings. No big problem though!
Trying to make a fixed Polymorph that isn't straight up blue creature removal in most situations. The wording is unfortunately necessarily complicated. For "the first/other creature" I checked those on Gatherer and they are existing templates.
Temporary Metamorphosis2UU
Sorcery (R)
Choose target creature. Its controller reveals cards from the top of his or her library until he or she reveals a creature card, then puts that card onto the battlefield and the rest on the bottom of his or her library in a random order. Exile the first creature until the other creature leaves the battlefield. (It returns under its owner’s control.)

Orcish SpelunkerR
Creature - Orc (R) R: Discard a card at random. If a mountain card is discarded this way, put it onto the battlefield tapped and put a +1/+1 counter on Orcish Spelunker. "Orcs barely need light, and their hard heads can easily withstand most of the falling rock."

Nuts. Forgot Gruzik Instigator's rarity. It's an uncommon.
Votes: IlGreven, konradishes
Morvinian Wingsneak1B
Creature - Human Rogue (C)
Pact with blue (This enters the battlefield with a +1/+1 counter on it in a pact with blue if you control a blue creature.) (U/B): Morvinian Wingsneak gains flying until end of turn. Activate this ability only if there’s a +1/+1 counter on Morvinian Wingsneak.
2/1
'in a pact' is kinda using Monstrous tech, btw. If it's not right, someone let me know.
Glorified SacrificexRB
Instant (R)
