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.)
Notes of the Day
HAHA! YOU MAY BE WINNING NETN10, BUT I HAVE THE BEST SCORE, BECAUSE I HAVE AN INCREDIBLY CHILDISH SENSE OF HUMOR.
Vedalken Shekels3
Artifact (R)
You may put money onto Vedalken Shekels during your untap step to keep it tapped. 2, T: Gain control of target creature with secondary market cost less than the amount of money in your wallet for as long as Vedalken Shekels remains tapped.
Static CurrentXUU
Instant (R)
Counter target spell with converted mana cost X. Mana sources used to cast that spell don't untap during their controller's next untap step.
Anicent Blade6
Artifact - Equipment (U) Imprint — When Ancient Blade enters the battlefield, exile target creature an opponent controls.
Equipped creature gets +1/+1 and has all activated abilities of the imprinted creature. (If any of the abilities use that creature’s name, use this creature’s name instead.)
You may spend mana as though it were mana of any color to pay the activation costs of equipped creature’s abilities.
Equip 3
Extensive AutopsyBUG
Sorcery (MR)
Sacrifice any number of creatures that do not share any creature types with each other. Draw two cards for each creature sacrificed this way. Yes, our best method to learn about diversity inherently diminishes it. Nothing in life is free.
My votes shouldn't be a surprise... Mr__Buttons and netn10. I'm a sucker for this kind of cards.
Mention: Groovelord
Avacyn’s Memorial4WWW
Legendary Artifact (M)
Creatures you control get +3/+3 and have flying, vigilance, and indestructible. “I can only say to you, in this, my final prayer to the world, that I only ever meant to keep the innocent from harm. I am Avacyn. I am to protect.”
—Avacyn, last words
The unmaking of Avacyn in "I am Avacyn" touched me a lot, probably more than it should have. I just had to make a card with this flavor text, and I thought of making a mix of Akroma’s Memorial with all versions of Avacyn: flying, vigilance, and indestructible are keywords all versions of Avacyn either have or give, and +3/+3 because of the 3 damage from Avacyn, the Purifier. Cost based on Collective Blessing.

Enchantment (MR)
Your opponents play with their hands revealed. 4: Counter target spell that wasn't cast by the owner of this permanent. Any player may activate this ability. If you think that more heads are better than one, you never tried to make them agree on something.
I'd cost this at five, for constructed reasons. If you play any cheap sorcery that makes tokens, then chump and play this, you've gained a massive advantage in both card advantage and tempo. Even at 3BB I can see this being played in modern, at 2BB it's just too good. Also, the name is very similar to Repay in Kind, so that would require some tweaking as well. Cool concept though.
Each of the halves is playable on it's own, the flexibility and power of being able to choose (and possibly combine) two very relevant abilities is extremely strong. Generally on flip cards, the abilities cost one mana more than they would on a regular card (examples: Far, Down. I like the way you can wipe the board of small things, and then also get rid of their one big thing. Alas, if only it would work to switch the sides, it would be so good against Wurmcoil Engine.
I love what you've done with this one. Really tapping into some new design space here.
Ok, I have a question. Is the overload supposed to make each source that would damage you this turn reflect? Because the way it's worded, the overload instead makes each opponent lose that much life. Because of that, I don't really see the card being printed, because as it is, the card screams "I WAS MADE FOR EDH!" way too obnoxiously. Also, life loss is never prevented, only damage. If you reworded it to say "Prevent all damage target spell or permanent would do to you this turn. If damage is prevented this way, target opponent loses that much life." it would be much more balanced and make way more sense. Great idea though, I would play it.
The formatting on this is a mess, but what you're trying to do makes sense. Also, I think 3 is a bit too low CMC to give all your creatures hexproof. However, a stat boosting 4-cost enchantment that doesn't increase power seems a bit underpowered. I suggest to you this alternative: 1UGG "Each creature you control has hexproof and gets +X/+X, where X is the number of creature types among creatures you control that don't share a type with it."
This is a weaker Mana Leak that one of the best counterspells in the game during combat. Potentially okay, but I imagine that a skilled blue player could engineer a combat step where they play ll of their game breaking instants and have 2CMC counterspell backup. It would need a LOT of testing before it would be printed. I also just don't think it's particularly interesting.
This is cool, and I think it's cost is fair. I'd like to see some flavour, but in general, great job.
I mean I would play the hell out of a 4c deck with this and, say, Cloudshift, but that's beside the point...
The card is interesting, balanced, and extremely flavourful. Aside from beautiful art, what more can one ask for?
This is basically a madness enabler named "Madness Enabler." I also don't like that the forecast can allow you to discard itself (let alone that two keywords from separate blocks really shouldn't go on the same card). Maybe have the forecast say "Discard a card not named Madness Amplifier, then draw a card."
Really, the name though...

And my card:
Master of Form 2U
Creature - Human Shapeshifter (R) 2UU, T: Reveal cards from the top of your library until you reveal a creature card. You may exile that card. If you do, untap Master of Form and it becomes a copy of the exiled creature card until end of turn. Put the revealed cards on the bottom of your library in a random order.
