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.)
Boastful Warlord
Creature – Human Warrior (R)
Trample, haste
Renown 1 (When this creature deals combat damage to a player, if it isn't renowned, put a +1/+1 counter on it and it becomes renowned.)
When Boastful Warlord becomes renowned, you may have it fight target creature you don’t control.
4/4
Flavor text that doesn't fit with the reminder text... It didn’t take long for the notoriety to go straight to Glarn’s head.
Expunge Memory7UUU
Instant {MR}
Draw X cards, where X is half the number of cards in your library, rounded down. The mage, cornered, knew she had to make some radical choices in order to remember the spell she needed.
Everwatching Graves
Land (Rare)
Everwatching Graves enters the battlefield tapped. T: Add B or G to your mana pool. 2BG: Return Everwatching Graves from your graveyard to the battlefield. If you do, untap it and until end of turn it becomes 5/5 Elemental creature with trample and haste. It's still a land.
Markovian Manor
Land (U) t: Add 1 to your mana pool. Morbid -- 2B, t, Sacrifice Markovian Manor: Put three 1/1 black Bat creature tokens with flying onto the battlefield. Activate this ability only if a creature died this turn.
Minotaur Scrapper1RW
Creature - Minotaur Warrior (U)
Flanking (Whenever a creature without flanking blocks this creature, the blocking creature gets -1/-1 until end of turn.)
Provoke (When this attacks, you may have target creature defending player controls untap and block it if able.) 3/1
Psychic Shockwave1UR
Sorcery (U)

Rain of Swords1R
Instant (R)
As an additional cost to cast Rain of Swords, discard an artifact card or sacrifice an artifact.
Devoid (This card has no color.)
Rain of Swords deals 5 damage divided as you choose among any number of target creatures and/or planeswalkers.
Macabre Recycler3BG
Creature — Horror (R)
Menace (This creature can’t be blocked except by two or more creatures.) 2BG: Return up to one target creature card and up to one target noncreature card from your graveyard to your hand. Nothing is waste to the Golgari. Everything can be recycled.
4/4
That Which Lives2BBRRGG Legendary Creature -- Horror(M)
Menace
That Which Lives attacks each turn if able
If That Which Lives would leave the battlefield, exile it instead. Return it to the battlefield tapped at the beginning of the next upkeep. It feels only disgust for all life, and an intense desire to put an end to it.
6/8
MirrormistUU
Creature - Illusion (R)
You may have Mirrormist enter the battlefield as a copy of any creature on the battlefield, except if that creature doesn't have vanishing, Mirrormist has vanishing 3.
