The DCC - June 6th, 2024

[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

---

What is the timezone for the cut off time for the daily challenge?

It depends on the host. On June that's me, and I'm in Central European Time. I post the daily thread around midnight CET. In other months, the thread is usually posted at midnight US Eastern instead.

Just so everybody is on the same page, right now it's midnight CET. Expect all threads this month to be posted at this same time, of course with a few minutes of tolerance.

HM: wizyard (I really like the elegance of the card, but I don't think you can enchant game zones in black border, cards in a given zone sure but the zone itself I don't think you can)

I can't design green and white cards all month, so I'm intentionally trying to use also the colors outside of Jeff's color identity (technically full Naya, red is his third color) to (re)tell his story. Today's card is an example of that, more will follow.

Realize the Homicide 2BB
Instant (U)
Destroy target creature.
Threshold — If seven or more cards are in your graveyard, you draw a card and you lose 1 life.
"As I materialized again on familiar ground, I saw my boss's body lying there motionless in front of me. My first thought was: 'What have I done?'"
—Jeff Lionheart

Votes: bravelion83, wizyard

Try with DFC...

Votes: Rithaniel, Sagharri ("put the exiled card" though)

Smash the Rocks 4RR
Sorcery (U)
Destroy up to one target artifact and up to one target land. Then exile the top X cards of your library, where X is two plus the number of permanents destroyed this way. Until the end of your next turn, you may play those cards.
"As soon as I realized I could do nothing about my boss's death, I took a look at the rocks the human I had helped was still hiding behind. He was still there, and I had to check his conditions. I ran towards those rocks as fast as if I wanted to break them, even though that wasn't actually my intention."
—Jeff Lionheart

Votes: Sagharri Netn10

Arctic Acolyte u

Plusable Deniblity 1UU
Instant (Uncommon)
Turn target face-down creature you control face up. If it's a non-outlaw, counter up to one target spell with mana value less than that creature's power, then turn that creature face-down. Exile it and up to one another face-up creature you control in a face-down pile, shuffle that pile, then cloak them.
"Look at my beautiful face and tell me it was me."

Votes: Indighost, Sagharri (good flavor)

HM: KB52665 - Kaalia of the Vast a little earlier on the curve with a more restricted main ability. I like the idea, but it feels a little rough around the edges. Also, miracle needs to be given to cards in your hand, not cards in your library, else you can't cast it.

Whreshe of the Red Wind
Legendary Creature - Devil Shaman R
Kicker
When Whreshe enters the battlefield, target opponent exiles the top X cards of their library. Until the end of your next turn, you may play those cards. If you cast a spell this way, mana of any type can be spent to cast it. If Whreshe was kicked, you may cast creature cards exiled this way without paying their mana costs.
4/1
