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
Wow! What a turn out for May! It's been a while since I've seen this many entries in a day. Congrats to iphanx for making a heck of a run. You feel like the true winner of the month to me. My victory feels a bit hollow considering I'm the only one that posted consistently throughout the month. Anyway, Indighost should be back hosting tomorrow. Please remember that he puts the thread up much closer to 10 PM EST than I do, so make sure you get your cards in on time. See you all next month. Good luck and have fun.
Dead Relatives1BB
Sorcery (R)
For each creature you control, you may return a creature card with the same name from your graveyard to the battlefield with a +1/+1 counter. Those creatures are black zombies in addition to their other colors and types. Sometimes it's wiser not to invite the family over for dinner.
- Lord Ghast
Resha Baron3WB
Creature - Giant Advisor (R)
Whenever you cast a spell, you may pay 2. If you do, invest. (Create a colorless Gold artifact token with "Sacrifice this artifact: Add one mana of any color to your mana pool.")
Whenever you sacrifice three or more Gold tokens, create a 1/1 colorless Spirit creature token.
4/4 Resha is a city of wealth and opulence; those who do not live well, tend not to live at all.
First of MayRG
Sorcery S
Choose two creatures, and tap them. Repeat until all creatures have been tapped. "Now's the time for all the people to get together." —Robin Redbreast

Subject 3: "The Mangler"2GUB
Legendary Creature — Ooze {MR}
Subject 3's power and toughness are each equal to the number of cards in all graveyards.
If Subject 3 would deal combat damage to a player, instead, that player puts that many cards from the top of his or her library into his or her graveyard. The more, "The Mangler!"
*/*
It's nice to be back.
@Flatline: in the last article, MaRo said it was done like this because a lot of the beginner players didn't realize that cycling involves discarding, so they'd rather spell it out than making people feel bad for not rtfc.

3/1
Votes: Rudyard, Sagharri
Honorable Mention: Roccovsky (This is a pretty cool card, but something feels off, I can't fully place my finger on it. Might be the lopsided mana.), atogstorm (Feels like a card that should exist already but the top 2 were hard to crack into.)
Honorable Samurai2WW
Creature - Human Samurai (R)
Bushido 1 (Whenever this creature blocks or becomes blocked, it gets +1/+1 until end of turn.)
Whenever Honorable Samurai attacks alone, it gains Bushido 1 again for each other attacking creature you control. It is only in single combat that virtue shines.

BlackTempleGuardian: Solid, straightforward design. Powerful, but balanced. Build-around potential. A+ entombedhydra: Fun design, and a flavor homerun. I laughed two separate times -- at the title and the flavor text.
(Also love Ruggley's Crumbling Sanctuary-on-a-stick, but I think it would quickly be banned as commander.)
Claythief3
Artifact Creature -- Golem Shapeshifter (R)
Imprint -- When Claythief enters the battlefield, you may exile a creature card from your hand face-down. If you do, treat it as Claythief's back face until Claythief leaves the battlefield. X: Transform Claythief, where X is the mana cost of Claythief's back face. (It can't transform without a back face.)

It is a black zombie in addition to its other colors and types. It gains haste until end of turn. Exile it at the end of turn.
