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
*SCREAMS INTERNALLY, THEN EXTERNALLY, THEN INTERNALLY AGAIN*
Dryad Chorus3GG
Creature - Dryad (Rare)
The first creature spell you cast each turn has Convoke. (Convoke (Your creatures can help cast that spell. Each creature you tap while casting it pays for 1 or one mana of that creature's color.) 1G, T: You may cast creature spells this turn as though they had flash. "Trostani speaks for Selesnya, but we must speak for all Ravnica now."
2/4
Watcher of the Bog2BG
Creature - Treefolk (UC)
At the beginning of your precombat mainphase, you may exile a land card from your graveyard. If you do, add one mana of any color, create a 1/1 green Saproling creature token and gain 1 life.
--- The tale of the treefolk who hated other trees is just one of the many stories the children of Estark tell each other. 2/4
Protector of RavnicaWUBRG
Creature - Avatar (R)
Hexproof from monocolored
Ascend (If you control ten or more permanents, you get the city's blessing for the rest of the game.)

7/7
Adaptive Sliver1U

(4)
End of TimesBB
Sorcery (R)
Destroy target creature.
Overload 3BB(You may cast this spell for its overload cost. If you do, change its text by replacing all instances of “target” with “each.”) No one is anymore.
Preempt2BB
Instant - Trap (R)
If an opponent revealed a card this turn, you may pay 1B rather than pay this spell's mana cost.
Search your library for a card, then shuffle your library and put that card on top of it. If that's your plan, I have an answer.
Angelfire DruidGW
Creature - Human Druid Knight (R)

Whenever a player discards one or more cards, you get an experience counter. Hellbent - At the beginning of your upkeep, Scry X, where X is the number of experience counters you have.
