The DCC - December 31st, 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.)

Twisted Reflection and Smiting Helix are some of my favorite cards, and I think you invented a mechanic that's a goldmine of clever designs just like them. Good job!

The last card I had planned with rewind. It started just as a crazy (for my own standards) mechanic that was meant to last just a few days. It lasted the whole month. Everything must come to an end, and so does it, as does this year. Tomorrow you won't see rewind anymore at least for some time, so now it's time for my mechanic to go out with a bang, or at least die trying. Reminder text doesn't fit here, so I left it out as it is a mythic. I think you remember what rewind does by now. Or just check my card that's up for voting today if you don't remember.

(It's been a fun ride, and I think we saw a lot of awesome mechanics and cards from everyone this month.)
P.S. Thanks to everyone for the help with envision. Hopefully it's cleaned up enough to be serviceable. I normally don't try to make mechanics that go this nuts with the rules, but I can't shake the feeling that folks would like Envision if it saw print.

Joyful Memories
Sorcery — (U)
Return target artifact or enchantment card from your graveyard to your hand. You gain 3 life.
Envision (If you would look at or reveal this card, exile it instead. When you do, cast it for it's envision cost or put it on the bottom of your library.)

This has indeed been a fun month. The year, as a whole, was a rough one for me, but designing cards was always fun. Here's looking forward to the next year!
