Haven't been herein a while. Probably won't continue when this moves to the new site. Still, I feel like I may as well be here for this.

Exile target creature in your graveyard, then search your library for a creature that shares that creature's name and put it onto the battlefield.

Megiddo posted a message on Club Flamingo ☆ Exclusively for Custom Card Connoisseurs and Great PeopleThis month was the eight year anniversary of this thread. Eight years! It's honestly incredible to me that this thread has kept chugging along for this long.Posted in: Custom Card Contests and Games
While I may have left Club Flamingo, Club Flamingo hasn't left me. This thread, and what came out of it, continues to have influence on my life. Just ask my friends, who give me flamingo-themed gifts every year for Christmas. Or look at my household's semi-regular celebrations of "Flamingo Time," an impromptu holiday based on the time shown on a broken flamingo clock I have hanging above the entrance to my kitchen. This strange corner of the internet was a huge part of my life back in the day, and it makes me happy to see that it's still going in some form eight years later. Maybe if it's still around two years from now we can do something special for the ten year anniversary.
With all of that said, here's another Statistics update:
Club Flamingo Statistics Update — November 2018
Thread Rating: ☆☆☆☆☆. Thread ratings don't exist anymore, but I'm grandfathering this rating in. You are all worth five stars to me.
Thread Size: Unsurprisingly, we're still #1 with 61,261 posts. As of the last update three years ago we had 59,150 posts. That's only 2,111 posts over three years (as compared to the 17,600 reported in the two year period covered by the last statistics post), but from what I understand about overall forum traffic this isn't that surprising to me. Still, the glory days of nonstop spam appear to have ended.
Thread Views: First, with 2,324,835 views! Three years ago we were at 2,008,742 views. Crazy. Is anybody even looking at any other threads? You know, if everybody who looked at the thread posted we might have better stats for next time.
Posts per Day Lifetime: 20.61. This is a significant drop from the 34.19 we had three years ago. The thread has now been alive for 2,972 days, which I may remind you again is eight years.
Posts per Day since last update: 1.69. Last time I checked this the average was 24.42. This represents 2,111 posts over 1,243 days. If you scroll back through past statistics updates you'll see our highest-ever PPD rate was 99.35 over a single month period. So... it's been higher.
Thanks Count: 66. Maybe people have forgotten about this feature? Go thank the OP if you haven't, if only so that in 2025 when I come back here I'll get to say we kept that going up.
Top Ten Most Prolific Posters, Lifetime:
Chemtrails – 3496 (+62)
Megiddo – 3276 (+45)
Cythare – 2848 (+11)
admirableadmiral – 2581 (+66)
AsianInvasion – 2572 (-)
void_nothing – 1706 (+133)
Oculus – 1675 (+2)
avatarz – 1476 (+14)
Winterspring – 1409 (+67)
MDenham – 1355 (-)
No changes to the top 10 (other than some change in position)... and I'm not sure whether there ever really will be. void_nothing is has made the biggest gains lately but still has a long way to go to crack the top 5.

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 pollthe 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.
Notes of the Day
@FLATLINE, 1. IT SEEMS THERE WAS SOME SORT OF TIMING BULLSHOOTERY BETWEEN MY AND LOOKASHINY'S POST, IT DID NOT APPEAR ON MY LOAD OF THE PAGE UNTIL I HIT F5. SCORES WILL BE ADJUSTED 2. IT WAS SUPPOSED TO BE "ONE OR FEWER" BUT I CAN'T READ APPARENTLY. ALMOST IMPRESSIVE GIVEN I WAS ABLE TO TYPE MOST OF IT CORRECTLY.
@FLATLINE, AGAIN - I CAN MATH, I SWEAR.

Cardz5000 posted a message on Club Flamingo ☆ Exclusively for Custom Card Connoisseurs and Great PeopleCrits!:Posted in: Custom Card Contests and Games
Critical Hits seems like a great mechanic to bring into MTG with dice, but I'm not a fine of having two variables attached to it. I would probably just have it always just have a 1 in 6 crit chance and a variable for the additional damage, or a variable for the crit chance and always double damage.This seems really fun, and really Izzet. I'm having trouble figuring out if this is costed correctly, but the lack of control probably allows it to be cheaper. On average its a 7 damage Fire Tempest when cast for 5, or a 3.5 damage Steam Blast for 3. its probably fine...While I totally see them designing some chart graphics for die roll result tables like this, I'm not sure that dice rolling needs to be keyworded, and if it does, endeavor really doesn't feel like the right word.Polymorphing has typically be relegated to creatures becoming other creatures, so this could use a different name. It's a really cute effect, but really feels way more red than blue.

The problem is that your card goes infinite with itself since it gets a counter every time it investigates, and investigates every time it gets a counter. As soon as your card entered the battlefield you would lose for starting a loop you couldn't break (at least I think that's how the rule works). I once made the same mistake by creating a card that had both eternalize and populate.
