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
YOUR CORRECTIONS ARE WHOLLY NECESSARY BRAVELION, AS EVIDENCED BY MAY CONTINUED INABILITY TO COUNT.
Infusion of Strength 1G
Sorcery (C)
Proliferate (Choose any number of permanents and/or players, then give each another counter of each kind already there.)
Reinforce 1—G(G, Discard this card: Put a +1/+1 counter on target creature.)
Blackwaltz3, Indighost (I think it should just cost B though)
Crucible of the Wilds1G
Enchantment {U}
Whenever a creature you control fights, put a +1/+1 counter on it.
Whenever a creature you control dies after fighting this turn, create a green 0/1 Plant creature token. Laurels for the victor, lilies for the fallen.
Kingdom of the Wild2GG
Enchantment (M)
Creature spells you cast cost G less to cast for each creature you control. The animals may not have built walls or amassed riches, but their jungle was a land that would outlast countless empires.
Spin Crafter1U
Creature - Vedalken Artificer (U)
Flying
When Spin Crafter enters the battlefield create a 1/1 colorless Thopter artifact creature token with flying.
When Spin Crafter attacks it gets +1/+0 for each other flying artifact creature you control.
0/2
Almost again! You gave an extra point to Rudyard and one less point to netn10. All the rest is right. Tables attached. (I'm really sorry to be the one who keeps pointing out mistakes. I'm not happy to be that guy. Well, at least if I ever host this again either here or on Nexus, I already have a good vote-counting system to use.)
Votes: Zemoo, Indighost
Honorable mention for netn10. I just voted for the more simple and elegant hybrid card between the two, but I also really like your one.
Selesnya Influence3GW
Enchantment (R)
When Selesnya Influence enters the battlefield, create a 3/3 green Centaur creature token. Landfall — Whenever a land enters the battlefield under you control, populate. (Create a token that’s a copy of a creature token you control.) “The more territory we control, the more people will feel the heartwarming embrace of Mat’Selesnya.”
—Niszka, Selesnya evangel
Tale of Endless SummerG
Sorcery (C)
Add one mana of any color.
Draw a card.
Recount 2 - 1G(You may cast this spell for its recount cost. If you do, put it in your library second from the top instead of your graveyard)
Storm-Rig Skaab1UU
Creature - Zombie (U)
Kicker - R, Exile an instant or sorcery card from your graveyard
As an additional cost to cast ~ exile a creature card from your graveyard.
When ~ enters the battlefield, if it was kicked it deals 2 damage to up to one target creature or planeswalker. "After my electric re-invigorater proved to be... a little TOO invigorating, I repurposed it along with the expended test subjects to create this little number!" - Frelan, Aspiring Necro-Alchemist
3/4

Well, thank you, but... YES!!! You did it! Today's scores are perfect! I have the updated tables, but I don't need to post them today! Good job!
Votes: void_nothing, Flatline (the name should be bolded and I'd probably put it at uncommon, but I think that my love for mix-and-match cards is well known by now.)
Honorable mention for Phyrexian Editor.
I like the idea, but I have problems with the first ability. As is the trigger happens after the fight, but you probably want to put the +1/+1 counter on the creature before it fights. I'm convinced that would be the intuitive way most players would play the card, and they would play the card wrong as a result. I'd change the card to put the +1/+1 counter on before the fight, but if you want to keep it like this, I think it needs some form of reminder text for the first ability like (Put the +1/+1 counter on that creature only after the fight and only if it survives the fight.) or something like that.
Wizard’s MasteryU
Enchantment (R) Spell mastery — If there are two or more instant and/or sorcery cards in your graveyard, instant and sorcery cards in your hand have cycling 2. “The third mage developed his ability to sift through his thoughts to find the right answers at the right time. Response to response: that’s the way that the study of magic further advanced.”
