BLW: Swarming Constructs *fake set*

[Shino Bug Master]

Been waiting to have enough time to try my hands at a BLW era fake set. I enjoy making cards with the current and projected metagames in mind, so while it is just for fun, sevral obvious combos with in set/in rotation cards should be pretty obvious. I have 0 artistic ability so it will just be in spoilers format unless someone wants to make card versions of them =F I'll update cards whenever i get the inspiration for them/have the time.

BLW - "Swarming Constructs"
The groundwork has been laid for the congregation of familiar Bug Pokemon with a new powerful addition.... Genesect! Can you make your stand against the multitude of creepy critters, with powerful EX Pokemon like Regirock, Suicune, Latios and Heatran or will you succumb to the infestation? Brave through the swarm to discover powerful Trainers, Energy and Pokemon and build your collection like never before!

The comment about "Before taking a prize" is superfluous, as all attack effects are worked out prior to ko's and prizes. Other similar effects have said "If the Defending Pokemon would be knocked out by damage from this attack, effect".

Also. Don't ruin Shuckle or I will hurt you. You know I will.

Fair enough. I wanted the intent to be clear to someone who wasn't hyper competitve/having judge experience since its a fake set. But yeah, definately a bit redundant. And hey, no special treatment for anyone's favorite Pokemon =F
