Your cards were creative, Yakob! =) For the reference to Blastoise's Ability, I used Metagross Unleashed, as I'm not sure of any BW cards which modulate RC.

Now that the judging for the text based cards is done, I'm kind of nervous for the image based judging. :'D Not that I expect to win or anything, I'll probably end up in last place.

Hey guys -- my apologies in the delay, but it's time to announce the winner of the image-based category!

Unfortunately, the file with the majority of detailed ratings has been corrupted, but if you'd like me to critique your cards using the grading scale, PM me and I'll be happy to discuss your card(s)!

I'm happy to annouce that [member]aschefield101[/member] is the winner! His card can be found below:

Creativity: 20/20
asche has proven himself time and time again as a master of new (and gorgeous!) blanks. His idea to use the Battrio symbols is something I've not seen before. Love the "R" in holo in the background -- and look! Return of the 1st edition stamp. Cool!

Wording: 12/15
As Noble Victories Carracosta shows us, BW wording should be "If any damage is done to this Pokémon by attacks, reduce that damage by 30 (after applying Weakness and Resistance). However, wording switches between generations, so with the new blank (new generation?), I can't take off too much. However, you still say "last turn," when "next turn" makes much more sense.

Fonts and Placement: 10/10
Placement seems to fit well with the blank. Interesting choice to use the bold italic for the name -- differentiates your blanks from traditional ones. Symbols are lined up; everything looks in order.

Believability: 5/5
I really don't see why this couldn't be a real card (attack-wise). Carracosta NV reduces damage by 50, and Rocket's Feraligatr EX only by 30. Nice damage output but hindered by an attackless turn. Retreat seems reasonable as well.

Total: 47/50

Congrats, bro!

Very cool, a well-deserved win indeed.
