How To Play
How does this card-making game work? It's simple! Whenever your card receives a vote in the day's poll, 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 a poll 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 me instead and I'll explain it.
Anyone can post the new thread for the day. When you post it, make sure that:
You have a poll in the thread;
You include everyone's cards (excluding cards that have been disqualified);
The poll is marked as public and multiple choice with a one-day time limit; and
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
WELL I DID IT, IN BEFORE MIDNIGHT, AND I'M EVEN STILL MOSTLY LUCID. ITS THE LAST DAY FOR JUNE VOTES. I'M GONNA MISS YOU GUYS, MODS AND MEMBERS ALL. HERE'S TO ALL THE GOOD TIMES!
Nothing to report today either about the scores. All correct.
Votes: Flatline, Indighost (I have two degrees in chemistry and passed multiple biochemistry and microbiology exams. The flavor of that card is highly attractive to me, and I also like it enough mechanically to vote for it.)
I want to go out with a bang. Today is the...
End of the War3WUB
Enchantment (M)
When End of the War enters the battlefield, destroy all other nonland permanents and up to one target land, then target player puts the top four cards of their library into their graveyard.
At the beginning of each end step, if there are an artifact card, a creature card, an enchantment card, an instant card, a land card, a planeswalker card, and a sorcery card in your graveyard, you win the game. “The war is over. Now let’s salt the land.”
—Commander Guranal
If it isn't clear, the intent is that you need to have seven different cards in your graveyard. For example, an artifact creature only counts as one of the seven cards, and you choose whether it counts as the artifact one or the creature one. Either way, you need to have another card of the other type. Based on the Herald cycle from Alara, the wording I used should do that.
Name changed (it was End of Hostilities) because I had forgotten that a card named End Hostilities already exists, remembering only because I rediscovered it on Gatherer while looking for cards with "end" in the name to make July MCC banners.
Anyway it goes, it has been a pleasure to be back in the DCC. Thanks to Flatline, if it weren't for him I wouldn't have come back at all very probably. It's also been a pleasure to "fight against" all of you this month, in quotation marks as it's not really a fight, but more like a friendly competition, despite the apparent oxymoron. Who knows what will happen tomorrow? (Nexus isn't up yet, will July be still hosted here? Will there be contests in July at all?)
I don't know if this will be the/my final DCC, but regardless, I just want to say that I've really enjoyed my time spent posting in the DCC. That's probably because the people that post here regularly are the greatest. If I don't see you again here, I hope to see you on Nexus. Either way, I'll be around.
Sorin, Eternal Bloodlord1WB
Legendary Planeswalker — Sorin (U)
Creature tokens you control get +1/+1.
-2: Create a 1/0 black Vampire creature token with flying and lifelink.
5
Phyrexian Powered Armor3B
Artifact – Vehicle {R}
Synthesize (When this permanent enters the battlefield, you may exile a creature you control until this leaves the battlefield.)
Crew 3
Infect
If you exiled a creature when Phyrexian Powered Armor entered the battlefield, it is an artifact creature that has +X/+X, where X is the total power of creatures exiled with it.
3/3
I am going to miss MTGSalvation so much... creating cards here since 2007, and creating much more memories...
FarewellWU
Instant (Rare)
Exile target permanent with three time counters on it. If it doesn't have suspend, it gains suspend.
/////// Aftermath //////// Arms4RW
Instant (Rare)
Create a 1/1 white Soldier for each permanent that left the battlefield this turn.
Nexus is opening to the public in mid-July. Expect an announcement here with big fanfare. For now, the DCC, MCC, and CCL will all continue for just another month. As of August, they will move to Nexus. I apologize for any confusion I may have inadvertently caused. Rest assured that none of these contests is coming to an end, any time soon.

Dawnmaker Faerie5WU
Creature - Faerie Wizard (R)
Flash
Cascade
Flying
When Dawnmaker Faerie enters the battlefield, untap all other creatures you control. They gain double strike and hexproof until end of turn. Asha's most secret servants, but some of her greatest.
1/1
Ashes to AshesBR
Enchantment (R)
When ~ enters the battlefield, put a -1/-1 counter on target creature.
Whenever a creature with a -1/-1 counter on it would die, exile it instead. 2(B/R): Target creature gains wither until end of turn.
I'M GONNA MISS YOU GUYS, MODS AND MEMBERS ALL. HERE'S TO ALL THE GOOD TIMES!
I'll miss this site too, definitely. I've been a lurker since 2006 and joined in 2010. I've been active in the CCCG community since 2014, even though I had already been designing custom cards for years. But I'm convinced I'll see many of you again on the other side.
Scores are perfect again.

Eldritch Cryptolith4
Artifact (R)
When Eldritch Cryptolith enters the battlefield, create a 3/2 colorless Eldrazi Horror creature token. 2C, T: Create a 3/2 colorless Eldrazi Horror creature token. (C represents colorless mana.) Some scholars thought that the only reason for which the strange stone structures known as cryptoliths were created was to deviate mana leylines. That was true, but their real hidden purpose was much more disturbing.

Sorcery (U)
Search your library for a basic forest card and put that card onto the battlefield. Then shuffle your library.
Until end of turn, whenever you tap a forest for mana, add an additional G.
Parade of the Dead5BR
Enchantment {R} {Rakdos watermark}
Vanishing 4 (This permanent enters the battlefield with 4 time counters on it. At the beginning of your upkeep, remove a time counter from it. When the last is removed, sacrifice it.)
Whenever a time counter is removed from Parade of the Dead, exile a creature with a revelry counter on it that you control, then return target creature from your graveyard to the battlefield under your control with a revelry counter on it. It gains haste. If you think the floats, bands, and shrieking are fun, you're going to love the big finish.
