Welcome to the DCC!
If you have any questions or comments, feel free to post in the DCC Discussion Thread.
How To Play
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
IN BEFORE MIDNIGHT IT STILL COUNTS.
EDIT: SCORE CORRECTIONS?
Roar of the Void1U
Instant (U)
Counter target spell with converted mana cost X or less, where X is the number of cards in that spell's controller's graveyard.
If netn10's second post doesn't count, I should only have 50 pts. It's possible there are other scoring mistakes as well.
Votes: Rudyard, Subject16
Spore SpewerGG
Creature — Fungus (R)
Whenever you cast a creature spell, if Spore Spewer has fewer than three +1/+1 counters on it, put a +1/+1 counter on it. Otherwise, remove all +1/+1 counters from Spore Spewer and create that many 1/1 green Saproling creature tokens.
2/2
Landmark (mechanic) – Artifacts with abilities any player can activate that can be played like lands.
Grand Stele of Ephara
Artifact – Landmark {U}
Whenever you could play a land, you may put this onto the battlefield instead of playing a land this turn. When you do, draw a card. 1, Tap two untapped creatures you control: Draw a card. Any player may activate this ability. The stele in the courtyard rises as high as the academy of Dekatia opposite, a powerful symbol of the divine source of human knowledge.
I accidentally submitted two entries. Please ignore the second one.
Kithkin Burgler1W
Creature - Kithkin Rogue (Rare)
At the beginning of your upkeep, if you have less cards in your hand than each opponent, draw a card. "We are nothing if anything is not equel.
1/3
I accidentally submitted two entries. Please ignore the second one.
Too bad because I just love the second one and I really wanted to vote for it. Well, I'm giving you my vote anyway, I also like the first one enough anyway.
Votes: netn10, Phyrexian Editor (that card just make me laugh, I want to prize its flavor)
Honorable mention for Rudyard.
I just love mix-and-match cards, and MH1 contained too few of them in my opinion. So I've decided to make some myself. Here's the first of a series that I've already designed and that I'll post for all this week. Let's start with one to honor Gideon's memory (I'm still angry at them for killing off my second favorite planeswalker after Ajani):
Work Together3W
Sorcery (U)
Affinity for planeswalkers (This spell costs 1 less to cast for each planeswalker you control.)
Proliferate. (Choose any number of permanents and/or players, then give each another counter of each kind already there.) “To fight Bolas effectively, we need to sustain and cooperate with each other. Only together we will defeat him.”
—Gideon Jura
Intense PsychosisXX(U/B)U
Sorcery (M)
Delve
Target player puts the top X cards of their library into their graveyard. If X is 10 or more, they discard their hand and you may then exile that player's graveyard.
Mochi's Transaction1U
Instant - Arcane (U)
Counter target spell unless its controller pays 4. If that spell is countered in this way, its controller draws a card. If that spell isn't countered in this way, you draw a card.
Forced Acquisition4WU
Sorcery (R)
Choose a non-land permanent you control, then target opponent chooses any number of non-land permanents whose total converted mana cost is equal to or greater than that permanent's converted mana cost. Exchange control of those cards. If the total cost of all non-land permanents the target player controls is less than the converted mana cost of the permanent you chose, they choose all non-land permanents they control instead.
Let me know if I made any mistakes, but these scores are closer to accurate.
Flatline, bravelion83
Sandcast4WU
Sorcery (R)
Exile target nonland permanent. Then if you exile a card this way, you may cast a card that shares a type with it without paying its mana cost. Sand uncovers as much as it ebbs away.
Guard Duty1W
Enchantment - Aura (U)
Enchant Creature you Control
When ~ enters the battlefield, exile target creature until ~ leaves the battlefield.
Enchanted creature can't attack.
Hidden Kunai1
Artifact — Equipment {C}
Equip 2
Whenever one or more creatures you control becomes blocked, you may put Hidden Kunai onto the battlefield from your hand and attach it to a blocked creature you control.
Equipped creature gets +1/+1. "A sharp knife in a good hiding spot will save your life more often than any amount of martial arts training." -Tetsuko Umezawa
@bravelion83: I agree, I love simple hybrid designs, and my inspiration was Nature's Chant - I just love how clean it is.
Sudden Betrayal
Instant (Common)
Target creature deals damage equal to its power to its controller. The Rakdos use comedy to heal the broken hearts and to break the whole system.
@bravelion83: I agree, I love simple hybrid designs, and my inspiration was Nature's Chant - I just love how clean it is.
Agreed. And seeing you reposted that card, I think I already have one of my votes for tomorrow... For today, instead:
Votes: Indighost, void_nothing (not sure about the wording but I like the idea very much)
Mix-and-match week continues:
Explore the Unknown1G
Sorcery (U)
Target creature you control explores. (Reveal the top card of your library. Put that card into your hand if it’s a land. Otherwise, put a +1/+1 counter on that creature, then put the card back or put it into your graveyard.)
Retrace (You may cast this card from your graveyard by discarding a land card in addition to paying its other costs.) “I don’t use maps. They’re useless. The best way to know a new place is to know its inhabitants. They will guide you to discover more new places, and then the cycle repeats.”
—Otlosh, Merfolk scout
I have recalculated the scores looking at each day's thread and putting them together in an Excel table. See discussion thread.
