The DCC - December 27th, 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.)

Notes of the Day

---

Another high day, we've equaled the record: 13 posts with 12 cards up for voting today. I'm very happy with the high participation this month!

I've replied to @RattingRots in the discussion thread. It was meant to be a Day of Judgment, not a Plague Wind... I made a last minute change that I shouldn't have made. It happens.

netn10's probation: 12 days remaining

Sorry and thanks for making me notice. It was supposed to be a "47 (+2)". I'll leave it here as is for people to see what you are referring to here and to have a good laugh as I just did! Thank you! I need more of those...

Bug X000 1
Artifact Creature - Insect (Rare)
Flying
At the beginning of your upkeep, put a time counter on Bug X000. Then, if there's three time counters on it, destroy all artifacts.
Counting down at the end of a decade at Hollowdale is a necessity, not a celebration.

HM: void_nothing (Maybe I'm missing something here. What exactly counts as a Clue/Treasure/Food "spell"? Something that creates one of those tokens as part of the spell's effect? I feel like some reminder text would have helped out a lot here and it probably would have gotten my vote.)

Insatiable Frenzy R
Enchantment - Aura (C)
Enchant creature you control
Enchanted creature gets +2/+0 and has bloodlust. (A creature with bloodlust attacks each combat if able.)
3RR: Return Insatiable Frenzy from your battlefield attached to target creature you control. This ability costs 3 less to activate if it targets a creature with haste.
Despite the battlefield being as open as can be, the Keldon warriors developed an interesting case of tunnel vision.

@Surging Chaos -- There are a few cards that are Food (Gingerbrute comes to mind) independently of creating tokens. It's a narrow set of cards, but viable.

Excess damage sources you control would deal to creatures or planeswalkers is dealt to that creature or planeswalker's controller.

Re: marioguy3 - This is something I just recently realized, but all your plane cards are missing subtypes. Like Feeding Grounds is "Plane — Muraganda."

(Also, I've realized that my last two cards didn't specify "this turn" in the damage prevention ability. So that's a mistake.)

Soulstorm Hellkite
Creature - Dragon R
Flying, trample, haste
, Pay X life: Exile each nonland permanent with mana value X controlled by a player who was dealt combat damage by Soulstorm Hellkite this turn.
Her breath is not fire, but it does certainly burn.

Lifelink
Fang of Concealment can't block and can't be blocked.
Whenever a permanent is turned face up, you may pay 1 and 1 life. If you do, turn that permanent face down.
