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.)
Votes: Groovelord, TriceDefied
I hope I do not miss days this month.
Transcendent Bonds4GW
Enchantment (R)
Each creature you control has all keywords on each other creature you control.
Equip yourselves for the coming fight and exert vigilance!
Thusly, neither the trampling beast nor the touch of death can surpass our defender's resolve!
Coiling Savant -- GU
Creature -- Snake Elf Wizard (U)
When Coiling Savant enters the battlefield, you may draw a card.
When Coiling Savant dies, you may search your library for a basic land card and put it onto the battlefield tapped, then shuffle your library.
2/2
I'm back! I'll still have time constraints until this coming Friday, but I don't want to miss days right at the beginning of a new month!
Votes: EpiCycle1, Flatline (Is that card already in our set? I remember a similar card but I think there is something different...)
Mention: Groovelord (I like both the idea and the execution quite a lot, but I like the other cards just a little bit more)
This is what the correct version of the sample card in this month's MCC judge signup thread is meant to be.
Feral Attack1G
Sorcery (U)
Choose one —
• Target creature you control gains deathtouch and indestructible until end of turn.
• Target creature you control fights target creature you don’t control.
Entwine B(Choose both if you pay the entwine cost.)
Flaming Exemplar3R
Creature - Elemental Warrior (C)
Prowess
When Flaming Exemplar dies, if it's power was 5 or higher, it deals 2 damage to target creature or player.
4/2
Seeping Sickness2BBB
Sorcery (R)
Put a -1/-1 counter on each creature, then proliferate. Until end of turn, whenever a creature dies, proliferate. Though the Mirrans shed much blood, sweat, and tears in their struggle, all the Phyrexians needed was a single drop of oil.
Thought I'd throw my hat back in the ring after a two month absence.
Gust Cloak1
Artifact - Equipment (C)
Whenever equipped creature becomes blocked, you may untap it and remove it from combat.
Equip 1 "They're best used for probing the enemies defenses. But I have to admit, riding the wind is pretty fun." - Captain Daagh
Divong, Evolution Unbounded3UG
Legendary Creature -- Elemental Mutant (M)
Divong, Evolution Unbounded gets +1/+1 for each +1/+1 counter on other creatures you control. 2G: Put a +1/+1 counter on target creature. 1UU, t: Draw cards equal to Divong's power.
2/5
Votes: Rudyard (although I think it might be too strong), Piar (I think this could cost less, or even just )
Mutually Assured Destruction
Legendary Enchantment (M)
Whenever a creature you control dies, put an escalation counter on Mutually Assured Destruction.
Remove five escalation counters from Mutually Assured Destruction and sacrifice it: Destroy all creatures.
Nurij the SoulsapperBBBBB
Legendary Creature - Shade (M) B: Each opponent loses 1 life. The befouling smoke, the unstoppable fall of night, the dark side of everything.
2/2
Binding Agent0
Artifact (C) W,sacrifice ~: Choose one -
• Tap target creature.
• Regenerate target artifact. "This stuff can fix all manner of cracks, chips, and breaks. So don't get any on your hands."
Fallen Camp
Land (R)
Fallen Camp enters the battlefield tapped.
If Fallen Camp would be put into a graveyard from anywhere, put it onto the battlefield under its owner's control instead. t: Add 1 to your mana pool. t, Pay 1 life: Add B to your mana pool.
Infernal PleaB
Instant (Rare)
Sacrifice all permanents you control.
Draw a card for each permanent sacrificed this way. "Real power comes in absolutes. You either willing to give up everything for it, or stay who you are for the rest of your life." - Xazax, The Demon-Dealer
Ruthless Gamble-Lord3RR
Creature - Efreet (R)
Flying
Whenever you would flip one or more coins, you may flip one additional coin and ignore one result.
Whenever you lose a coin flip, ~ deals 1 damage to you.
4/4
Bartall, Minister of Truth
Legendary Creature - Vedalken Cleric (M)
Spells that target Bartall, Minister of Truth cost more to cast.
When Bartall, Minister of Truth enters the battlefield, gain control of up to two target creatures with total converted mana cost 5 or less until Bartall, Minister of Truth leaves the battlefield.
