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
Thanks for the votes!
Indighost probation ends on 4/14.
Trying to get the old Ravnica mechanics onto noncreature cards with some built in synergies:
Eviction StoneUB
Artifact (U) 3: Return Eviction Stone and target creature to their owners hands.
Transmute 1UB(1UB, Discard this card: Search your library for a card with the same converted mana cost as this card, reveal it, and put it into your hand. Then shuffle your library. Transmute only as a sorcery.)
Undead Assistant1U
Creature - Zombie(U)
Whenever a non token creature that you control dies put 2 cards from the top of your library to the graveyard. If they share the same type you draw a card.
1/2
Curious Garlossus3GG
Creature - Giant (U)
Trample X, Sacrifice a Clue: Curious Garlossus becomes X/5 until end of turn. Draw a card. Where any other investigator would find clues in the shape of hairs or footprints, Kloris would get just as much from fallen treetrunks and trails of passing armies.
5/5
Growable CrabU
Creature — Crab (C)
Hexproof
Skulk (This creature can’t be blocked by creatures with greater power.) It knows a way around everything: down under the sand. And who knows what size it will be when it gets out..
0/2
Driven Loredelver3U
Creature - Human Wizard
Prowess
At the beginning of your end step, if there are ten or more instant or sorcery cards in your graveyard, exile them and transform Driven Loredelver.
2/2
// Scholar's Ascension
Enchantment (Color indicator: U)

At the beginning of your end step, if you didn't cast a spell thisc turn, transform Scholar's Ascendancy.
Paradise Seekers1WW (front side)
Creature - Human Scout (R)
When Paradise Seekers enters the battlefield, you gain X life, where X is the number of lands you control. 1GG: Put Paradise Seekers from your hand onto the battlefield transformed. "They wandered their entire lives in search of The Promised Land..."
2/2
//
Paradise (back side)
Legendary Land (colorless) T: Add G or W to your mana pool. You gain 1 life. ... failing to realize it was right beneath their feet all along.
Towering Gloomcap3B
Creature - Fungus (R)
Deathtouch
When ~ enters the battlefield, for each G spent to cast it, put a 1/1 green saproling creature token onto the battlefield.
1/4
Quietude of Battle3GW
Instant (U)
Target creature gains reach, double strike, vigilance, and protection from creatures until the end of the next turn.
