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.)

2/2

Sacrifice Voidwing Drake: Counter target spell unless its controller pays 1 for each charge counter on Voidwing Drake.
1/1
Burning Tempest1R
Enchantment (U)

Votes: Blydden, Groovelord
HM: Bravelion (I would've costed it differently to make it not a straight up better Parallel Lives)
Time to give those filthy rats a new General. Also, Grandeur!
Smoke-Teeth, Lord of the Nezumi1BB
Legendary Creature - Rat Rogue (R)
A deck can have any number of cards named ~ Grandeur — Discard another card named ~: create a 1/1 black Rat creature token named Relentless Rats.

3/3 As vicious as his father, his cruel methods led to the birth of the biggest Nezumi gang ever created.
Marl Sinks

Guppy’s Collar1W
Tribal Enchantment — Guppy Aura (C)
Enchant creature
Enchanted creature has lifelink, and is a Guppy in addition to its other types.
Totem armor (If enchanted creature would be destroyed, instead remove all damage from it and destroy this Aura.)

Votes: netn10, Groovelord
Crystal Eagle3U
Creature — Bird (U)
Flying Diffraction — When Crystal Eagle enters the battlefield, if three or more colors of mana were spent to cast it, draw two cards. It shatters prey as easily as light.
2/3
Diffraction is an ability word that means "When CARDNAME enters the battlefield, if three or more colors of mana were spent to cast it, (do something)", meant to go mostly on monocolored cards in a 3+-colored limited environment (Alara/Tarkir).
Gaea's Uprising3GGUU
Sorcery (M)
Search your library for up to three basic land cards, put them onto the battlefield tapped, then shuffle your library. Take an extra turn after this one.
Eldrichling5
Creature - Eldrazi (Mythic) 2: Until end of turn, target creature deals combat damage equals to its converted mana cost instead of its power. 2: Eldritchling gains protection from even converted mana cost until end of turn. 2: Eldrichling gets +1/-1 until end of turn. 2: Eldrichling gets -1/+1 until end of turn.
4/4
Defender of Ghirapur -- 6
Artifact -- Vehicle (R)
Trample, Vigilance, Reach
At the beginning of each end step, untap each creature you tapped to crew Defender of Ghirapur this turn.
Crew 6 (Tap any number of creatures you control with total power 6 or more: This Vehicle becomes an artifact creature until end of turn.)
12/12
Avid Outfitter1UR
Creature - Dwarf Artificer (U)
Fabricate 1 (When this creature enters the battlefield, put a +1/+1 counter on it or create a 1/1 colorless Servo artifact creature token.)

Master Recycler3U
Creature - Vedalken Artificer (U)
Whenever a nontoken artifact is put into your graveyard from anywhere, create a 1/1 colorless servo artifact creature token.
2/4 Even scrapped ideas are fuel for his ingenuity.
Votes: proudawesome & BrainPo
Honorable Mentions: bravelion83 & master_of_the_universe (Diffraction looks like an interesting ability word, but I am not entirely sure if it is inherently different enough from Converge to warrant its own design space. Plus, I think this card is a bit under-costed for its rules text and stat line.)
(I love the idea of Gaea's Uprising, although I would appreciate some flavor text, especially on a mythic rare. I believe that it also needs the following sentence of rules text..."Exile Gaea's Uprising."...in order to prevent graveyard shenanigans.)
Wastes of the Old Grove
Land (R) T: Add C to your mana pool. Delirium — T: Add BG to your mana pool. Activate this ability only if there are four or more card types among cards in your graveyard. Nothing remained familiar alongside Emrakul's advance towards Thraben.
Hezar the Glassbound3WUB
Legendary Creature -- Spirit Wizard (M)
Flying
When Hezar the Glassbound enters the battlefield, exile another target nonland permanent or target nonland permanent card in a graveyard until Hezar leaves the battlefield. (It returns under its owner's control or is put back into its owner's graveyard.)
