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
I'M POSTING A LITTLE EARLIER THAN USUAL TODAY BECAUSE I'VE GOT SOME PACKING TO DO FOR SUNDAY-WEDNESDAY. I'M GONNA TRY TO GET MY OLD LAPTOP UP AND RUNNING SO I DON'T HAVE TO BOTHER FLATLINE AGAIN. IF YOUR SUBMISSION IS AFTER WHENEVER I POST THIS, BUT BEFORE 11ISH EST TONIGHT I WILL AMEND IT TO THE POST TOMORROW MORNING.

Whenever you play a card from exile, Intuitive Spark deals 2 damage to target creature or player. Nothing burns quite like the flames of passion.
2/2
Garrus Vakarian2WR
Legendary Creature – Turian Soldier(R)
Whenever an opponent’s creature enters the battlefield you may tap Garrus Vakarian. If you do, Garrus Vakarian does damage equal to its power to that creature.
3/4
Picture this, if you will: you're in the final struggles of an epic FFA game, your opponents are both at 10 life but you can only Fireball one of them. Now, isn't that annoying? Fear not, fellow red mages, because this card has you covered!
Propagating Mage1RR
Creature — Human Wizard (U)
Menace
Whenever you cast a spell that targets a single opponent, copy that spell for each other opponent that spell could target. Each copy targets a different opponent. "Don't think you can get away from this."
3/2
Whirlerhunter2R
Creature - Human Warrior (C)
Whenever ~ attacks, destroy target artifact creature with power 1 or less defending player controls. Younger members of the rebellion sometimes make bets on who can destroy the most eyes of the Consulate in one day. 3/2
Telsa's Coil (Rare) 4
Legendary Artifact
At the beginning of each opponent's upkeep, you get E(an energy counter).
At the beginning of your upkeep, Telsa's Coil deals 1 damage to each opponent for each E you have. I am the greatest inventor ever! Everyone who ever laughed at my inventions will die! - Telsa, mad genius

Bargain - (When you cast this card, choose one of the following option as an additional cost)
* Pay 4 life
* Sacrifice a creature
3/3
Scattering Maelstrom 4UW
Instant
If a creature would die this turn, instead exile it with X time counters on it, where X is that creature's converted mana cost. If that card doesn't have suspend, it gains suspend.
"I found Hans four miles down and three years later. The sandwich he snatched from me was still fresh" - Rufus, maelstrom survivor
This card was designed with the name Fight or Flight, but only after having posted it I realized a card with that name already exists, so I had to change it and put it in the flavor text instead.
Instinctive Response1GW
Instant (U)
Choose one or both —
• Target creature you control gets +1/+1 and gains flying until end of turn.
• Target creature you control fights target creature you don’t control. (Each deals damage equal to its power to the other.) “Your instinct always knows what’s the right thing to do. They call it 'fight or flight'.”
Votes - Forestsguy and Brainpo, love seeing new people up in here

Search your library for two basic land cards and put them on the battlefield tapped. Then if you control nine or more lands, draw two cards. "Life returns to the land as surely as the river returns to sea.
As sure as she returning to me." --- Kiora, missing Turi
Kaidan and Ashley2WG
