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.)

Enchant creature

Approaching End4WBB
Sorcery (MR)
Destroy up to one target permanent. Its controller loses 1 life and you gain 1 life.
Epic (For the rest of the game, you can’t cast spells. At the beginning of each of your upkeeps, copy this spell except for its epic ability. You may choose a new target for the copy.)

Moon's Sway -- 4U
Enchantment (R) 4U: Transform target permanent.
---- Moon's Control
(U) Enchantment (R)
When this card transforms into Moon's Control, transform each other permanent.
Other than from effects of cards named Moon's Sway and Moon's Control, permanents can't transform. 4U: Transform all permanents.
GoreblastB
Sorcery (U)
As an additional cost to cast ~, pay 4 life, or sacrifice a creature.
Destroy target creature. Dark magic often requires blood sacrifice, fortunately its rarely specific as to who's.
I love skulk! To me, it just feels like the perfect solution to the UB overlapping evergreen creature keyword problem R&D has. I would totally have it go the same route as prowess (from block mechanic to evergreen in as little time as possible). So today I'm launching "skulk week" on the DCC! For a week I will post cards trying to explore the design space of skulk.
Exciting ShadeB
Creature — Shade (U)
Skulk (This creature can’t be blocked by creatures with greater power.) B: Exciting Shade gets +1/+1 until end of turn. R: Another target creature gets +1/+0 until end of turn. Its presence is both disturbing and stimulating at the same time.
