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
Why is it still winter?!?!?!?!
Indighost probation ends on 4/14.
Mayfly Mage
Creature — Insect Wizard (U)
Flying
Mayfly Mage enters the battlefield with a +1/+1 counter on it.
Whenever Mayfly Mage deals combat damage to a player, proliferate. (You choose any number of permanents and/or players with counters on them, then give each another counter of a kind already there.) 0/0
NostalgiamancyUB
Instant (U)
Put any number of cards from a player’s graveyard on top of their library. Search that player’s library for that many cards and put them into their graveyard. Then that player shuffles their library.
Draw a card.
Elspeth, Thankless Hero2WW (front side)
Planeswalker - Elspeth
[+1]: Put two white 1/1 Soldier creature tokens onto the battlefield.
[-5]: Exile up to two target tapped creatures. If this would cause Elspeth to reach exactly zero loyalty, transform it.
{3}
// Spear-Bearing Returned (back side)
Creature - Zombie (Color indicator: black/white)

Instant (U)
Destroy target creature. You gain life equal to that creature's toughness. "Good to the last drop." - Olivia, Voldaren Matriarch
Niveryman, Your Friendly Neighbourhood Hero1W
Locally Legendary Creature - Human (R) (The 'local legend rule' only checks for duplicates of a locally legendary permanent among permanents of the same controller.)
Other Humans you control get +1/+1. 1 : Put a token that's a copy of Niveryman onto the battlefield. Each opponent gains 1 life. Any player may play this ability. Soon, even the tiniest of precincts had their own 'not every man'
3/3
Votes: Guesswork, Mr__Buttons

River Alligator1U
Creature — Crocodile (U)
Skulk (This creature can’t be blocked by creatures with greater power.) 1G: River Alligator gets +2/+2 until end of turn. Activate this ability only once each turn. Sometimes the biggest threats can come from right under the water.
0/3
Cruel Butcher3B
