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
One more week! If you don't know what I'm referring to, you probably wouldn't care.
Here's what my MCC card would've looked like if not for the round restrictions...
Voidswell Drone
Creature — Eldrazi Drone (R)
Devoid
When Voidswell Drone enters the battlefield, put a 1/1 colorless Eldrazi Scion creature token onto the battlefield. It has "Sacrifice this creature: Add to your mana pool."
Whenever you sacrifice an Eldrazi creature token, add to your mana pool.
4/4
Tui, the Cold Truth2WU
Legendary Creature - Elemental Monk (Mythic)
Freeze (You may choose to not untap this permanent during your untap step.)
Vigilance
As long as Tui's tapped, players can't cast spells with the same converted mana cost as Tui's power. WU, T : Tui's power becomes the number of your choice between 0 and 4. Activate this ability only as a sorcery.
0/4
Another day, another random card pulled from my current working design...
Curative Mist(2/W)G
Instant (C)
Prevent all combat damage that would be dealt this turn. You gain 2 life for each white mana spent to cast Curative Mist.
Support 1—2GW(2GW, Discard this card: Put a +1/+1 counter on each creature you control that shares a color with this card.)
Exile target creature you control and target creature you don't control.
Return a creature card you own in exile to the battlefield.
"I saw him go down that alley. He never came back out." - Dimir Guild Spy

Exile Volcanic Freedom: Volcanic Freedom deals damage to each creature and each player equal to the number of charge counters on it. Freedom can be as beautiful and dangerous as a dormant volcano.
Archivist's DelightUU
Instant (C)
Overflow (Include this card only in a deck containing at least ten more cards than the minimum deck size.)
Draw two cards.
Gorbahest, Insatiable Slaughterer4BR
Legendary Creature - Demon (R)
Flying
Whenever a creature you don't control dies, Gorbahest, Insatiable Slaughterer fights target creature that player controls. "The only way to fight is to the death."
5/5
Wurmrift5G
Sorcery (R)
Scry 5, then reveal the top card of your library. Put two X/X green Wurm creature tokens with trample onto the battlefield, where X is the converted mana cost of the card revealed this way.
