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
Lots of people participating this month. Should be a good one.
I'm not positive this is the correct wording for this, but I'm pretty sure it at least works as is...
Tempting Devil
Creature — Devil Advisor (R)
At the beginning of your upkeep, exile the top card of your library. You may play it this turn. Whenever you play a card exiled this way, you lose life equal to its converted mana cost. The little voice in Gessari’s ear kept whispering the same thing to him over and over again....“Do it.”
2/2
Seraph of the Sacred MelodyWWWWWW
Creature - Angel (Mythic)
Flying
When Seraph of the Sacred Melody enters the battlefield, if you cast it from your hand, your life total becomes 60.
6/6
Maiden of the Flames2RR
Creature - Faerie Druid (U)
Flash
When Maiden of the Flames enters the battlefield, Maiden of the Flames deals 3 damage to target creature or player. Fire walks with her.
2/2
Surpass MediocrityGW
Instant {U}
Put a +1/+1 counter on target creature. If that creature has the lowest power amongst creatures you control, put two +1/+1 counters on it instead. The ringleader thought he had picked the right target for his bullying scheme. Only when his men laid dead at his feet did he realise his mistake.
Oath of Allies -- 2W
Enchantment (R)
At the beginning of your upkeep, if you control fewer creatures than each of your opponents, put two 1/1 white Human Ally creature tokens onto the battlefield.
Watchtower GuardWW
Creature - Human Soldier (U)
Vigilance
Watchtower Guard has defender as long as an opponent controls a creature.
Watchtower Guard's toughness is equal to 1 plus the greatest power among creatures your opponents control. 2/1+*
Creeping Desolation3BB
Sorcery (R)
Each player sacrifices each colored creature they control. The eldrazi leave nothing in their wake. Not a scrap of life, mana, or hope.
Brutalize1RG
Sorcery (U)
Target creature you control deals damage to target player equal to its power then takes damage equal to that player’s life total. The Scab-Clan believe that the body is the outward form of the spirit; the more maimed the appearance, the more authentic the warrior.
Angel of Contemplative Awe4WWWW
Creature - Angel (M)
Flying, protection from black and red
As long as you control 3 or more creatures, damage that would reduce your life total to less than 1 reduces it to 1 instead.
2/5
Aerial Ingestor4UR
Creature — Eldrazi (R)
Devoid (This card has no color.)
Flying, haste
When Aerial Ingestor deals combat damage to a player, that player exiles the top X cards of his or her library, where X is the number of colorless creatures you control.
4/4
Cerebrid3BBB
Creature -- Horror (M)
When Cerebrid deals combat damage to a player, you may sacrifice it. If you do, you control that player during his or her next turn. 8: Return Cerebrid from its owner’s graveyard to its owner’s hand. Activate this ability only if you don’t own Cerebrid.
5/3
Living Gear1
Artifact Creature - Construct (C)
Synchronize 1 (1: This card becomes an Equipment that's no longer a creature and attach it to another target creature you control. It becomes a creature again if it's not attached to a creature.
Equipped creature gets +1/+1.
1/1
Return from Nowhere3U
Sorcery (R)
Prepare 2 (Every two cards you exile from the top of your library while casting this spell pays for 1.)
Return target exiled card you own to your hand.
Ukraz, Silver Searcher 3WU
Legendary Creature - Human Eldrazi (R)
When Ukraz, Silver Searcher enters the battlefield, target opponent exiles the top five cards of his or her library. If a creature card and a land card are exiled this way, search your library for a colorless creature card, reveal it, put it into your hand, then shuffle your library.
4/4
King of the Hill2GGG
Enchantment (M)
At the beginning of each upkeep, put a +1/+1 counter on the creature with the greatest power.
The creature with the greatest power gains trample until end of turn. He looked down as the citizens groveled at his feet.

Kalin, Marked by the DivineWW Legendary Creature--Human Cleric (M)
Damage that would be dealt to Kalin by a creature is dealt to that creature instead.
Damage that would be dealt to Kalin by a noncreature source is dealt to that source's controller instead. “Have you spoken with my brother yet? Ah, I see. When you see him, tell him that I am sorry.”
1/3
This already exists, doesn't it? Why can't I find it on Gatherer?

Until end of turn, whenever you lose life, target opponent loses that much life. When the slaves rebelled, he got a cut on his cheek. For their treachery, he cut off theirs.
House Tarqu's Spellstriker1
