MTG Salvation

Very nice. Thanks for the conclusion! Caumotch will bust out of this too... someday.

What you have is a 0/1 Noble Hierarch with a +1/+1 counter on it. Static abilities all apply continuously, and the replacement effect "...enters the battlefield with a +1/+1 counter on it" is in fact a static ability. Both effects work at the same time, both are working the next time state-based actions are checked, and they cancel out with regard to the Hierarch's power and toughness.

Caumotch's evil wanderings proved fruitful and he at last unlocked the pinnacle of his powers in this form: A mastery of lightning magic. Caumotch would finally be able to cook his food before he ate it...

If a creature dealt damage this turn by Caumotch would die, instead exile that creature and its controller loses 1 life.
BRG, T, Sacrifice another creature: Caumotch deals X damage to any target and you add X mana in any combination of colors, where X is the sacrificed creature's toughness.
No one can sate him, and no one should want to.
1/6

It's still awkward to declare myself the winner, but congrats to DiscardUnearth and to... me! A tie score at the end of the last edition - gotta love that finish.

See you all on Nexus!

Like all core sets, M20 does not have one single setting, even though they may have associated story vignettes that are set in a specific time and place. For example, while there were stories published for M19 that were set on ancient Dominaria and Tarkir, that does mean that all the cards in the set were actually associated with those settings.

Alright but are you gonna do it

Well, you don't lose the game, because you can't; you continue playing and if the effect still applies when your opponents have all lost the game, you're the winner. But as soon as that effect stops applying (assume you have 0 life and control a Platinum Angel and it leaves the battlefield), you lose the next time state-based actions are checked if you still don't have a positive life total.

And it's over - bravelion83 wins a narrow victory to become champion of the last-ever MTGSalvation-hosted CCL! Here's to a great start on the FIRST MTGNexus CCL!

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.)

No entries today. I only want to ask everyone who participated this month to vote for yesterday's cards to get a final score for the month, and to thank everyone who's ever played in the DCC for an incredible run. I hope to see every single one of you and more besides in the MTGNexus edition of the DCC, and not only that, in the other monthly contests.

Choose one —
• End the turn.
• Restart the game.
“The hardest part of ending is starting again.”

Yes, the flavor text is a quote from "Waiting for the end" by Linkin Park. A song and a line that are very appropriate for this day. The first line of the song would also be: "This is not the end, this is not the beginning...", as would be many others from that song.

This is the last-ever DCC entry thread on this site. Tomorrow I'll ask everyone to vote one final time, without entering. I'd also like to ask everyone to enter the August DCC on MTGNexus, starting tomorrow night eastern US time with the thread dated the 1st!

Enantae looms impassively over Caumotch, and he's full of a mix of fear and disgust. "You again? But it's only been an eon or two." Fortunately for him (not for others, certainly) Caumotch knows most of her moves and takes a chance on an attack that should banish her for a while. With Angels it's never really forever, but luckily Caumotch is a pretty impatient individual anyway.
