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
YES! YES! YES! MORE PEOPLE! MORE SUBMISSIONS! GROW AND SPIRAL OUT OF CONTROL! BURGEON FROM THE GROUND TO STAB AT THE HEAVENS ABOVE!

Aether Capture1UU
Instant (U)
Counter target spell. You get E.(An energy counter.) If an artifact spell is countered this way, you get EEE instead.(Three energy counters.) "That's all well and good, but i can think of a better use for that."
Dazarhahs3BB
Legendary Creature - Human Zombie (Mythic)
Deathtouch
When ~ enters the battlefield, players exile their graveyards face down and shuffle them, then play a MAGIC subgame using these cards as their decks. For the subgame, players have "Pay 1 life: Add 1 mana of any color to your mana pool." Each player who wins the subgame may put any number of creatures from the subgame onto the battlefield. Those creatures gain haste until end of turn. Sometimes the past comes back to haunt us all.
1/1
Blood ReversalWB
Instant (R)
Choose one:
- The next time target player would gain life this turn, that player loses that much life instead.

Surprise Blast1R
Sorcery (U)
~ deals 3 damage to target creature or player.
Cipher (Then you may exile this spell card encoded on a creature you control. Whenever that creature deals combat damage to a player, its controller may cast a copy of the encoded card without paying its mana cost.) Just when you thought you'd be safe.
Each opponent discards a card. Hellbent - If you have no cards in hand, you may cast this card from your graveyard.
"If I can't have it, no one can."
-Master of Cruelties
Use as Reference3UU
Sorcery (UC)
Draw a card, then draw an additional card for each instant or sorcery card in your graveyard. The past enlightenes the future.

Condemned prisoners are left to stew in their own regret.
Unending Day 5U
Enchantment
All spells and abilities have flash.
At the beginning of each player's draw step, each of that player's opponent's draws a card.
At the beginning of each player's untap step, untap all permanents.
At the end of combat on each player's turn, each of that player's opponents may have any number of creatures fight other target creatures they control. If there are no creatures that player controls, they may instead have those creatures deal damage equal to their power to that player.
Whenever a player loses the game, sacrifice Unending Day.
Tali’ZorahUR
