The DCC: 08/25/19
Image
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, 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 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 void_nothing and/or the month's DCC organizer.
  • When posting make sure that:
    • You have included all of the previous day's entries.
    • 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



I'm officially losing my mind. I really thought I put this up an hour and half ago or so.

Honorable mention for Henlock.

This is a DFC. I'm using the red mana symbol as a color indicator because the bullet point is just too small and I haven't been able to find any good red circle character.

Growing Madness R
Enchantment (M)
Whenever a player casts a spell, if that spell's madness cost was paid, put a charge counter on Growing Madness. Then if there are four or more charge counters on Growing Madness, transform Growing Madness.
"Madness is rarely sudden. Most often it starts as a state of mind that slowly grows day by day..."

Total Insanity
(R) Enchantment (M)
Cards you own that aren't on the battlefield have madness 0.
X, Remove a charge counter from Total Insanity: Discard a card with converted mana cost X or less, then draw a card.

Maybe, and I've actually considered it, but I didn't want the card to essentially be "look at the top and bottom and choose one to draw". For once I chose to try something highly original, and I felt making it a cantrip would have taken away some of that. I didn't want that card to feel like just another blue cantrip.

Flatlilne - I would have probably said "power 2 or less" in the last ability.
emily - Definitely not my preferred play style, but I like the elegance of your card.
void_nothing - I would have said "target nonland card" to avoid players thinking they could return the land they sacrificed for the additional cost. That actually can't be done with this wording, so let's just make it clearer.
Immortal Vindicator 3WB
Creature — Human Wizard (R)
Undying (When this creature dies, if it had no +1/+1 counters on it, return it to the battlefield under its owner's control with a +1/+1 counter on it.)
1WB, T, Remove a +1/+1 counter from Immortal Vindicator: Destroy another target nonland permanent. Activate this ability only any time you could cast a sorcery.
