    He left the enclave as much to find himself, as he did to lose the others.
    3/3

    Basander seeks solitude for repose and reflection. Where better than the Glassdunes? Now normally no one would dare cross the excoriating expanse of the dunes, but Basander has a trick up his sleeve; stoneform. A spell normally used to aid in meditation, with practice can be extended beyond total immobilization to allow walking. Not terribly fast walking, but certainly well defended. While in stoneform things like heat, cold, rain, and sand mean little to his granite skin and allows Basander to reflect on the disaster that befell the valley. "If we are so gifted by the Gods, why are we told not to use them? What sort of loving deity would bestow on their followers the capacity to save others and yet forbid them from doing so?" Basander ruminates for three days in the glittering wastes. Well, three and a half days truth be told, he had forgotten that his spell made him as heavy in addition to durable and he barely made his way out of a very fine plume of sand that he sank into.

    Finally the grasslands of the Leonin creep into view. Though his journey through the desert was not awful while warded by lithomancy, but the flowing grasses and serene river were welcome sights. He makes his way down to the water's edge to refill his canteens and suddenly finds himself stuck. Panic strikes for a moment,"Have the catfolk caught me? Have I sunk into the mud?" Thankfully it is only a series of sharpened metal teeth wrapped around his leg, though finding no purchase in his rocky flesh. It is difficult to pry the metal away, but eventfully he is free... only to take two steps and land in another such trap. Another half hour of wrenching metal and he finally reaches the shore and dips his waterskins into the river. In fact, he lowers his warding spell altogether and relishes in the cool feeling of the waters and the breeze. He had forgotten that stoneform numbs ALL sensation. He resolves to use it so often. Hmmm! What a thought, that turning inward to solely contemplate the divine leaves a man unfeeling toward the mortal realm, a pleasing epiphany mirrored with and without. Once he has restocked his water supplies, he draws up his stone form again to gather plants and from the nearby shrubs and willows, it was nice to feel the waters, but clearly the locals are less than welcoming. It would do him little good to lose a hand finding dinner. Night falls and Basander drifts to peaceful, stony sleep to the sound of croaking river frogs.

    2W: ~ gains indestructible, has base power and toughness 0/2, and is an artifact in addition to their other types until end of turn.
    The stoneform spell is not the most impressive feat of lithomancy, but it is far more useful than it appears. While uncomfortable it allows practitioners to weather miserable travel conditions and even rest in plain sight without fear of bandits or beasts.
    3/3

    Yes, this is the mario power up.

    The DCC: JUNE 22ND, 2019

    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.)

    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 Influence 3GW
    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.)

    Until end of turn, target creature you control gets +1/+2, gains first strike, and has “Whenever this creature deals damage to a creature with converted mana cost 4 or greater, destroy that creature.”
