The DCC - April 8th, 2024

[void_nothing]

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.)

"One pierced heart, two mindful horns" Day 7/12 — Today you'll meet again Samarta, the necrotopsist that analyzes Katel's body in Episode 4. She's actually a secondary character, but I wanted a mono-black one as I didn't have any without her, that's really why she exists. Her main role is to give you, the reader, two of the four sequences of numbers you needed for the main puzzle, and in the very last episode, to make sure you couldn't resolve the puzzle too early, you were supposed to maybe have some ideas by the end of episode 3, but with a missing key piece of information that you needed to be 100% sure your solution was the correct one. I forged the wording of her whole dialogue with Roy in such a way to give you those two sequences. Her backstory is rather simple: one of the few uncompleated members of the Golgari during the Phyrexian invasion to have survived, she realized all the wrong the Golgari did to Ravnica during the invasion, and given that now the Golgari are looked at badly on Ravnica, if she, who had no part in the invasion, wanted to keep her own reputation safe, the only way was leaving the guild to go to work for those who are on the hotspot in the moment: the Agency. That's all for her backstory. I told you, I needed her more for mechanical reasons than flavor ones.

Samarta, Necrotopsist 3BB
Legendary Creature — Elf Detective (R)
Whenever Samarta, Necrotopsist enters the battlefield or attacks, you may return target nonlegendary creature card from your graveyard to your hand. When you do, reveal the top card of your library. If that card has mana value equal to or less than the returned card, put that card into your hand and you lose 2 life.
"After the bad impression the Golgari left after the Phyrexian invasion, the best way for me to not be publicly seen as guilty was leaving the guild and putting my expertise at the service of the Agency."

Menace

"One pierced heart, two mindful horns" Day 8/12 — Starting today, I will post the cycle of uncommon artifacts associated with some of the characters from my story. I'll go in WUBRG order, so the first one is the white one, Roy's Badge. He had indeed to show it a lot of times in the Agency HQ at the end of Episode 4...

Roy's Badge W
Artifact (U)
W, T: Reveal the top card of your library. If it's a nonland card, you gain 2 life. You may put the revealed card on the bottom of your library.
