The DCC - December 19th, 2022

[bravelion83]

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.)

Votes: Surging Chaos, void_nothing

Surging Chaos, Ink-Treader

Mental Manipulation
Sorcery (U)
Kicker
Each opponent reveals their hand. You choose a card from each of those players' hands. That player discards that card, then draws a card unless Mental Manipulation was kicked.
Draw a card.

Votes: marioguy3, void_nothing

Wave of Rot
Sorcery — (R)
Put two -1/-1 counters on each creature, then those creatures gain decayed. (A creature with decayed can't block. When it attacks, sacrifice it at end of combat.)

First time it happens to me. I'll double check next times, sorry.

Votes: Rithaniel, RattingRots

Work the Crowd 5BR
Sorcery (Rare)
Spectacle br. You may spectacle this card only if you don't have cards in your hand.
Put three +1/+1 counters in each creature. Creatures can't block this turn.
Every Rakdos show is to die for.

HM: folding_music -- I like the idea behind this card, but this is a logistical nightmare to deal with in paper due to a ridiculous number of different ability counters that have to be tracked and accounted for.

I was having fun with how over-accessorized stuff like Ikoria felt (especially Crystalline Giant) ...clearly Arena-oriented design for people with three hands irl <3
_{(I gave up working out how to get voted for in this game the third time I entered and none of the advice I heard ever lead me towards stuff I liked making; please bear with my nonsense!)}

votes: venedrex, OneandOnly

Interchange Bug
Creature - Phyrexian Insect (R)
Imprint -- Whenever a player would draw a card except the first one they draw in each of their draw steps, exile the top card of their library instead.
Interchange Bug gets -1/-1 for each card exiled with it.
2/1

Vote: RattingRots, Rithaniel

Redeploy W
Instant (U)
Kicker W
Return target creature you control to its owner's hand. The mana cost of the next creature spell you cast this turn is reduced by that creature's mana cost. (For example, if the target creature's mana cost was 1W, a spell that cost 2RW would cost 1R instead.)
If Redeploy was kicked, the next creature spell you cast this turn can be cast as though it had flash.

Votes: RattingRots, Ink-Treader

Martial Discipline WW
Enchantment - Aura (U)
Enchant creature
Enchanted creature gets +2/+2 and has vigilance.
6WW: Return Martial Discipline from your graveyard to the battlefield attached to target creature. This ability costs 1 less to activate for each Plains you control.

Votes: wizyard, netn10

Blightmite Swarm - 5BB
Enchantment
When Blightmite Swarm enters the battlefield, create a number of 1/1 black Phyrexian Mite creature tokens with toxic 1 equal to your life total.
When you don't control any Mites, you lose the game.

Venedrex, Surging Chaos

Spell Switch U
Instant (R)
Exchange control of target spell you control and target spell you don't control. New controllers may choose new targets for their respective spells. (If any spell that changes control this way is a permanent spell, that permanent enters the battlefield under control of its new controller.)

Votes: wizyard, Rithaniel

Stormdrinker Druid G

T: Add G for each spell your opponents have cast this turn.
1{W/U}: Return Stormdrinker Druid to its owner's hand.

Votes: wizyard, Surging Chaos

Halonan, the Cultivator
Legendary Creature - Elf Druid M
At the beginning of your upkeep, you may search up your library for up to five lands that share a land type and put them onto the battlefield tapped.

"You can't just expect to grown a forest overnight. It takes time."

HM: Ink-Treader, I like the idea very much but I think the resulting card is a bit too complex. (Says the one who designed a naturally very complex custom mechanic and keeps making cards with it...)

Cemetery Fire 2BR
Sorcery (R)
Rewind 1UR (You may cast this spell for its rewind cost. If you do, all targets must be the same and you perform the listed actions in reverse order while resolving this spell. This is not a modal spell.)
• Cemetery Fire deals 2 damage to target player and each creature they control.
• Target player creates a 2/2 black Rat creature token with "When this creature dies, return to your hand target creature card in your graveyard that was put there from the battlefield this turn."
• Target player sacrifices a creature.
