The DCC - June 28th, 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

---

Yellow and black are the colors of the stripes of a bee, and I have a literal phobia for bees, though I've never actually been stung by one of them in my whole life so far, and honestly I don't want to try. Their pairing also happens to be my favorite combination of IRL colors, and of course I've used that for the logo and flag of the home country of Kim, Vuk, and all the rest of the group on the plane of Vukanat. Sometimes it's strange how you can hate and love something at the same time.

HM: Sagharri (I love this flavor text instead!)

Nightly Torment 3B
Sorcery (U)
Target opponent exiles a card from their hand, a card from their graveyard, and the top card of their library. That player loses life equal to the number of different card types among the exiled cards.
"That night I didn't sleep much. Too many thoughts. Was everything I had been taught a lie? Did the gods really exist? Was Heliod trying to tell me something? Maybe to become his champion myself? Jeff, Sun's Champion? But did I want to? In that moment, appropriately, the Sun itself rose up."

Votes: Sagharri, bravelion83 (although four mana to end a turn seems strong)

Umbrelia, Preparation Expert
Legendary Enchantment Creature - Golem Wizard (Rare)
Haste
The "legend rule" doesn't apply to permanents you control.
Whenever a creature you control becomes the target of a spell an opponent controls, create a token that's a copy of that creature.

4/5

Votes: Indighost, Sagharri

The Moxenforge
Legendary Artifact (M)
As long as you haven't played a land this turn and The Moxenforge is on the battlefield or in your hand, it's a land in addition to its other types and has no mana cost.
Once during each of your turns, if The Moxenforge is a land, you may cast an artifact spell from your hand without paying its mana cost if it has a mana ability.

A wild assortment of cards today.

If Rite of the Calculating was kicked, draw cards equal to the number of creatures you control.
